Terms of Service

1. The service

Octopus lets you upload documents, share them as links, control who can open them (email verification, passcode, expiry, downloads, watermarking), and see analytics about who read what.

Features may be added, changed, or removed over time, and the service is provided without any uptime guarantee.

2. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login secure and for everything that happens under your account. Give us accurate information and keep it up to date.

3. Your content

You keep ownership of the documents you upload. You grant Octopus the limited rights needed to store, process, and display those documents so we can provide the service to you and the people you share with.

You are responsible for the documents you share and for having the right to share them. Don't upload content you don't have permission to distribute.

4. Acceptable use

Don't use Octopus to share unlawful, infringing, or harmful material; to send spam; to attempt to breach security or access data that isn't yours; or to abuse or overload the service.

We may suspend or remove content or accounts that violate these terms.

5. Sharing and recipients

When you share a document, you decide the access settings and who receives the link. You are responsible for choosing appropriate settings and recipients. Access controls reduce risk but no sharing tool can guarantee a determined viewer won't copy what they can see.

6. Billing and subscriptions

Octopus is a paid subscription service. Paid plans are billed at a flat monthly or annual rate through our payment processor, Polar, and include the number of team members listed for each plan. Current prices are shown on our pricing page.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from Plan & billing; your plan stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, and fees for that period are not prorated or refunded.

We may change plan prices or what a plan includes. If we change the price of a plan you are on, we will give you notice beforehand and the new price applies from your next renewal. Fees are exclusive of any taxes, which you are responsible for where they apply.

7. Availability and changes

The service is provided “as is.” We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of it at any time, and we may update these terms; continued use after a change means you accept it.

8. Termination

You can stop using Octopus at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these terms or if we discontinue the service.

9. Disclaimers and liability

To the extent permitted by law, Octopus is provided without warranties of any kind, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for losses arising from your use of (or inability to use) the service.
