    Last updated: March 2025

    1. Acceptance of Terms

    Welcome to Schedule Method. By accessing, browsing, or using our website, applications, or any related services (collectively, “the Service”), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”), as well as our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated by reference. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

    If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must not use the Service. Your continued use of the Service after any changes to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

    2. Description of Service

    Schedule Method is an online tool designed to help users locate lost or hard-to-find user manuals, product guides, instruction booklets, and other documentation for consumer and commercial products. We aggregate, index, and link to content that may be hosted by manufacturers, distributors, or other third parties.

    2.1 Nature of the Service

    The Service operates as a search and discovery platform. We do not host, store, or control the underlying manuals or documents themselves; we provide links and references to external sources. The availability, accuracy, and content of linked materials are determined by third parties, and we do not guarantee that any particular manual or document will be available or current.

    2.2 Modifications to the Service

    We reserve the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, or restrict access to the Service (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any such change. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts of the Service without liability.

    3. Eligibility and Account

    The Service is intended for users who are at least 13 years of age (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). If you are under 18, you should use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements.

    Where we offer account registration or sign-in, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use or breach of security.

    4. Acceptable Use of the Service

    You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not use the Service in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international law or regulation, or that infringes the rights of others.

    4.1 Prohibited Conduct

    You agree not to:

    • Use the Service to distribute malware, viruses, or other harmful code, or to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system, network, or data.
    • Scrape, crawl, or use automated means to collect data from the Service in a manner that bypasses normal use or places undue load on our systems, except where we have given prior written consent.
    • Copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service (including its design, layout, or content) without our express written permission.
    • Use the Service to infringe any intellectual property rights, including copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets of Schedule Method or any third party.
    • Use the Service to harass, defame, or harm others, or to transmit content that is obscene, discriminatory, or otherwise objectionable.
    • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.
    • Circumvent or disable any security or access control features of the Service.

    We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations of these Terms and to take appropriate action, including suspending or terminating your access and reporting activity to law enforcement where we believe it is necessary.

    5. Intellectual Property

    The Service, including but not limited to its name “Schedule Method,” logos, taglines, website design, layout, graphics, text, software, and other original content created by us, is owned by Schedule Method (or our licensors) and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

    5.1 Our Rights

    You may not use our trademarks, logos, or branding without our prior written consent. You may view and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use in accordance with these Terms, but you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service without authorization.

    5.2 Third-Party Content

    User manuals, product guides, and other documents linked to or referenced through the Service are the property of their respective owners (e.g. manufacturers, publishers). We do not claim ownership of such content. Your use of third-party content is subject to the terms and policies of those third parties. If you believe content on or linked from the Service infringes your rights, please contact us; we will respond to valid notices in accordance with applicable law.

    6. Disclaimer of Warranties

    THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SCHEDULE METHOD DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY.

    We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any content, links, or third-party materials available through the Service. You use the Service and any linked content at your own risk. Any reliance you place on information obtained through the Service is strictly at your own risk.

    7. Limitation of Liability

    TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SCHEDULE METHOD, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

    IN JURISDICTIONS THAT DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS (USD $100).

    Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

    8. Indemnification

    You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Schedule Method and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property or privacy right, or (d) any claim that your use of the Service caused damage to a third party. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense.

    9. Third-Party Links and Services

    The Service may contain links to third-party websites, documents, or services that are not owned or controlled by Schedule Method. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. You access them at your own risk. We encourage you to read the terms and privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. Our inclusion of links does not imply endorsement of the linked content or the associated entities.

    10. Changes to These Terms

    We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the Service, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and may provide additional notice (e.g. by email or a prominent notice on the Service) where appropriate.

    Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service. We recommend that you review this page periodically for the latest version of the Terms.

    If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

    11.3 Waiver

    Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.
