9. Data and Privacy
Your use of our products involves the collection and processing of personal data. Our Privacy Policy sets out what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under UK GDPR. By creating an account you confirm you have read and accepted our Privacy Policy.
Where you store personal data belonging to third parties within our products, you are the Data Controller for that data and are responsible for ensuring you have a lawful basis to collect and store it.
10. Your Data — Ownership and Portability
You own all Content you upload or create within the Service. We do not claim ownership over your business data. On cancellation or termination, you may request an export of your data before account closure. Exports will be provided within 14 days of request.
11. Intellectual Property
All intellectual property rights in the Service — including software, source code, design, trademarks, product names, and documentation — are owned by or licensed to Stockwise Software. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, or create derivative works of any part of the Service without our prior written consent.
12. Limitation of Liability
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of revenue, data, or business interruption.
Our total aggregate liability for any and all claims shall not exceed the total subscription fees paid by you in the three calendar months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
13. Service Availability

14. Suspension and Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account without prior notice if you breach these Terms materially, fail to pay subscription fees within 7 days of notification, or if we reasonably believe your account is being used for unlawful purposes. In the event of termination for breach, no refund will be provided.
15. Changes to These Terms
We will notify you of material changes by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to updated Terms, you may cancel your subscription before the changes take effect.
16. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Scotland. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Scottish courts, without prejudice to your right as a consumer to bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you are habitually resident.
