7. Your data

You retain ownership of all data you enter into Gather360, including client records, contacts, notes, documents and any other content. We do not claim any ownership rights over your data.

8. Data protection

We take data security seriously. Your data is hosted in the United Kingdom, transmitted over encrypted connections, and isolated from other accounts. We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Where you store personal data of your clients or contacts within Gather360, you are the data controller for that data and we act as a data processor on your behalf. You are responsible for ensuring you have a lawful basis to store and process that data.

9. Service availability

We aim to keep Gather360 available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The service may be temporarily unavailable due to:

• Scheduled maintenance (we will provide reasonable notice where possible).
• Urgent security updates or patches.
• Factors outside our reasonable control, including hosting provider issues or internet outages.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• Gather360 is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
• We do not warrant that the service will be error-free, secure or uninterrupted.
• Our total liability to you for any claims arising from the use of the service shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
• We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages, including loss of profits, data or business opportunities.

11. Cancellation and termination

• By you — you can cancel your subscription at any time through the billing section of your account or by contacting us. You will retain access until the end of your current billing period.
• By us — we may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these terms, fail to pay your subscription, or if we are required to do so by law. We will provide reasonable notice where possible.

Upon termination, your data will be retained for 30 days. After that period, it will be permanently deleted unless you request earlier deletion or we are required to retain it by law.

12. Intellectual property

All rights, title and interest in the Gather360 platform — including the design, code, branding, logos and documentation — belong to Mako Digital. These terms do not grant you any rights to our intellectual property other than the limited right to use the service as described.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you via email or through the platform with at least 30 days' notice. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
