Terms of Service
The gist:
We run a WordPress as a service selling platform called ReadyShip and we would love for you to use it. ReadyShip enables people to sell Ready-Made WordPress sites as a subscription service model with Managed WordPress hosting and get recurring revenue stream. Our service is designed to give you as much control and ownership over what goes on your website as possible and encourage you to express yourself freely. However, what you publish is your own responsibility. In particular, make sure that none of the prohibited items (like spam, viruses, threats of violence) appears on your website.
If you find a website hosted on ReadyShip that you believe violates these Terms of Service please contact us via our support email support@readyship.co.

- Your ReadyShip Account and Website. If you create a product or website on ReadyShip, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and website, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the website. You must immediately notify ReadyShip of any unauthorized uses of your website, your account, or any other breaches of security.

If you operate a website, comment on a blog, post material, links, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available (any such material, “Content”), you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content or your conduct. That is the case regardless of what form the content takes, which includes, but is not limited to text, photo, video, audio or code. By using ReadyShip, you represent and warrant that your Content and conduct do not violate these Terms. This license allows ReadyShip to make publicly-posted content available to third parties selected by ReadyShip so that these third parties can analyze and distribute (but not publicly display) your content through their services.

• Server Metrics. We use some third party softwares and services, to measure ReadyShip’s server’s usage. By hosting your site on ReadyShip, you agree to assign the traffic relating to your website to ReadyShip and authorize us to sign a Traffic Assignment Letter on your behalf for those third parties’ audience measurement reports. If we require additional documentation to verify ownership of your website or domain name, you agree to make reasonable efforts to accommodate such requests.
