Terms of Service

Last updated: November 22, 2025

1. Agreement to Terms

By using Glimbug (“Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Glimbug (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

We may modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on our website prior to the changes taking effect. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect and use your information.

2. Service Description

Glimbug is a beta testing feedback collection platform that allows software developers (“Project Owners”) to collect, organize, and manage feedback from beta testers (“Feedback Submitters”). Project Owners create projects and share feedback links with their testers. Feedback Submitters can submit bug reports, feature proposals, and questions without needing to create an account.

3. Eligibility and Account Registration

To use Glimbug as a Project Owner, you must:

  • Be at least 16 years of age
  • Provide accurate, current, and complete registration information
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account

You may not create an account on behalf of another person or entity without their authorization. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or contain false information.

4. Subscriptions and Billing

4.1 Subscription Plans

Glimbug offers paid subscription plans (Starter, Basic, and Pro) with varying features and usage limits. Plan details, pricing, and limits are displayed on our pricing page. By subscribing to a plan, you agree to pay the applicable fees.

4.2 Billing and Payment

Subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or yearly basis, depending on your selected billing interval. By providing your payment information, you authorize us to charge your payment method for:

  • Recurring subscription charges on each billing date
  • Prorated charges when upgrading to a higher tier mid-cycle
  • Charges when resuming a paused subscription

4.3 Plan Changes

You may upgrade your subscription at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. When downgrading, you must ensure your usage (projects, storage, submissions) falls within the limits of your new plan.

4.4 Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period, and you will retain access to the Service until then. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods, unused time, or downgraded features, except where required by applicable law. We reserve the right to issue refunds at our sole discretion in exceptional circumstances.

4.5 Subscription Pause

You may pause your subscription from your account settings. While paused, you will not be charged, but your access to certain features will be restricted and your feedback links will be temporarily disabled. You may resume your subscription at any time, which will start a new billing period.

4.6 Failed Payments

If a payment fails, we will notify you and attempt to charge your payment method again. If payment continues to fail, your account may be suspended or frozen until payment is successfully processed.

5. Account Status

Your account may be in one of the following states:

  • Active — Full access to all features within your subscription tier
  • Paused — Voluntarily paused by you; restricted access, no billing, feedback links disabled
  • Frozen — Due to payment failure; restricted access until payment is resolved

6. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party rights
  • Upload, transmit, or distribute any content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable
  • Collect or harvest personal data of other users without their consent
  • Impersonate any person or entity
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers/networks connected to the Service
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service
  • Use automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Service without our written permission
  • Circumvent usage limits, rate limits, or other restrictions
  • Use the Service to send spam or unsolicited communications
  • Upload malware, viruses, or other malicious code

We reserve the right to investigate violations and take appropriate action, including suspending or terminating your account and reporting illegal activity to law enforcement.

7. User Content

7.1 Ownership

You retain all ownership rights to the content you submit to Glimbug, including feedback, screenshots, and project information (“User Content”). We do not claim ownership of your User Content.

7.2 License Grant

By submitting User Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, display, and transmit that content solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Service. This license terminates when you delete the content or your account.

You are solely responsible for your User Content. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to submit your User Content and that it does not violate any law or infringe any third-party rights. We do not endorse, verify, or guarantee any User Content.

7.4 Project Owner Responsibility

As a Project Owner, you are responsible for the feedback submitted through your project links. If you become aware of any feedback that violates these Terms or applicable law, you should delete it promptly. We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to review, remove, or disable access to any User Content that we believe, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms or applicable law, or may harm our users or the Service.
