Licence Agreement

1. What you are getting

When you subscribe to Take Bookings Now you are buying the right to use our software while you pay for it. You are not buying the software.

Take Bookings Now is a trading name of Take Orders Now LTD, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 16869591. Everything the software is made of — the code behind it, the way it is put together, the designs, the wording, the name and the logo — belongs to Take Orders Now LTD and stays that way.

This is normal for software you subscribe to, and it is worth being clear about it in writing so that nobody has to guess later.

2. What you may do

For as long as your subscription is active, you may use the Service to run your own business: take bookings, keep a diary, hold your customer records, send messages, raise invoices, and anything else the features you pay for allow.

You may let your staff use it. You may show it to your customers — that is the point of the booking page. You may put your own name, logo and colours on it.

3. What you may not do

You may not:

• Copy the software, or any part of how it works, into anything else.
• Take it apart to work out how it is built, or try to recreate it.
• Sell, rent or sub-licence access to it, or run it on behalf of other businesses as though it were your own service.
• Present it as your software. Your branding on your booking page is expected; telling people you built it is not.
• Scrape or bulk-extract data from the platform beyond your own records, by any means, whether automated or by hand.
• Interfere with the Service — attempting to gain access to other businesses' data, probing for weaknesses without our written permission, or anything that degrades it for other people.
• Remove or obscure any notice of ownership.

4. Your data is yours

Nothing here takes ownership of the information you put in. Your customers, your bookings, your invoices and your consent records are yours, and you can ask for a copy of them at any time.

What belongs to us is the software they sit in — which is a different thing from what you have put into it, and the distinction matters in both directions.

5. Anything you tell us

If you suggest an improvement and we build it, the result belongs to us and becomes part of the Service for everybody. You are welcome to keep making suggestions; you are not giving anything up by doing so, but you are not acquiring a share of what we build either.

6. When this licence ends

Your right to use the Service ends when your subscription does. Your data is not deleted at that moment — see the Terms & Conditions for what happens to it and for how long we keep it.

If you break this licence in a way that matters — reselling access, taking the software apart, extracting other businesses' data — we may end your access immediately. We would always rather talk to you first, and in practice we will, unless the problem is serious enough that waiting would make it worse.

7. No warranty beyond what the law requires

The Service is provided as it is. We work hard to keep it running and to keep it correct, but we do not promise it will never be unavailable and we do not promise it will suit every way of working. Nothing here removes rights you have under law that cannot be removed by agreement.

8. The law that applies

This licence is governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from it.

9. Questions

If any of this is unclear, or you want to do something it does not obviously allow, write to [email protected] and ask. A short email now is better than an assumption either of us has to unpick later.
