Terms and Conditions of Use
This is an English translation. In case of any difference, the Portuguese version prevails.
These Terms govern the use of the Best Number One service, available at bestnumberone.com (the "Service"). By creating an account you confirm that you have read and accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
1. Who provides the Service
The Service is provided by Virgula, Unipessoal Lda, Tax ID (NIF) 513485597, registered office at Avenida Marçal Pacheco, n.º 56, 1.º Esq.º, 8100-505 Loulé. Contact: info@bestnumberone.com.
2. What the Service is
Best Number One is a start page on the internet: it lets you create boards with blocks of links, organise and personalise them (for example, with background photos), import and export them and — if you wish — share them through a public address. The Service can be used from any browser and device after logging in.
3. User account
- To create an account you must be at least 16 years old. Between 13 and 16 you may only use the Service with the permission of a person with parental responsibility. The Service is not intended for children under 13.
- You must give a valid email address and keep your details up to date.
- You are responsible for keeping your password safe and for all activity in your account. Tell us immediately if you suspect any misuse.
- Accounts are personal and non-transferable. Creating accounts automatically or using other people's accounts without permission is not allowed.
4. Free forever and ad-free
The Service is and will always be free. We do not and will not show advertising, sponsored links or content paid for by third parties, and we do not sell or share your data for advertising purposes. We never change, replace or redirect the links you saved.
The project is supported by the responsible entity and by voluntary donations from the people who use it (see section 5). To keep the Service working well for everyone, we may set reasonable technical limits — for example, on the number of boards or the size of photos — giving at least 30 days' notice and without deleting content you have already created.
5. Donations
The Service is free and has no paid plans. If you wish, you can support the project with a voluntary donation of any amount, using the methods shown on the site. Donations do not unlock extra features, are not payment for any service and create no additional obligations on our part. Payments are processed by the respective providers (for example, PayPal or your bank) under their own terms. You can request a receipt through the contact email. If you made a donation by mistake, contact us and we will look into a refund.
6. Your content
- The boards, blocks, titles, links and photos you add ("Content") remain yours. You only give us the permission needed to store, process and display them in order to provide the Service — including showing them publicly when you make a board public.
- You are responsible for the Content you store and share and confirm that you have the right to use it (for example, the photos you upload).
- When you share a board with other people, you are responsible for the invitations you send; anyone with edit permission can change or delete blocks and links on that board.
- By proposing a board to the public template gallery, you allow it to be shown in the gallery and copied by other users. We may decline or remove templates at any time, and you can withdraw yours whenever you like.
- You may not use the Service to store or share illegal content, including links to malware, scams (phishing), child sexual abuse material, incitement to hatred or violence, or content that infringes the rights of others.
- We may remove Content or disable public pages that breach these Terms or the law. Anyone can report illegal content to info@bestnumberone.com; we will review reports diligently and inform the affected user of our decision and the reasons for it, in accordance with the Digital Services Act (EU) 2022/2065.
7. Acceptable use
You may not: try to access other users' accounts or data; bypass limits or security measures; overload the Service (for example, with mass automated requests); collect data automatically; or use the Service to send unsolicited communications.
8. Photos and images
The background photos offered in the Service and the images used on the site are free and come from free image libraries:
- Unsplash (unsplash.com) — photos in the background gallery, used under the Unsplash License;
- Magnific (magnific.com) — images on the presentation page, used under Magnific's free licence.
Whenever available, the author is credited next to the photo. The rights to the images belong to their authors; using them in the Service does not give you any rights to them outside the Service. We are not responsible for content provided by third parties in these image libraries. The photos you upload are your responsibility (see section 6).
9. Third-party sites and link templates
The Service contains links to third-party sites, including those in the link templates (such as "Links Universal"). We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or policies. The brands and names of those sites belong to their owners and their inclusion does not imply any partnership.
10. Availability of the Service
We do our best to keep the Service available and your data safe, but we do not guarantee that it will run without interruptions or errors. We may change, improve or discontinue features. We recommend that you export your links regularly (board "…" menu → Export). If we decide to close the Service, we will give at least 60 days' notice so that you can export your Content.
11. Intellectual property
The software, design, logo and the Best Number One brand, as well as the selection and organisation of the link templates, belong to Virgula, Unipessoal Lda or its licensors. You may not copy or use them outside the Service without written permission.
1 BEST NUMBER ONE is a registered national trademark, no. 649974. Using this trademark, name or logo without permission is prohibited.
12. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect damage, loss of profits or loss of data resulting from the use of the free Service. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or the rights that the law guarantees to consumers.
13. Suspension and closure of accounts
You can delete your account at any time in "Account settings"; your boards and photos are deleted immediately. We may suspend or close accounts that seriously breach these Terms or the law, and will tell the user why, unless the law prevents it.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms, for example to reflect new features. Relevant changes will be announced at least 30 days in advance. If you keep using the Service after that date, you are deemed to accept the new version; if you do not agree, you can delete your account.
15. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by Portuguese law, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of habitual residence. In a consumer dispute, you may use an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) body; the list is available on the Portuguese Consumer Portal (www.consumidor.gov.pt). You can also file a complaint in the Electronic Complaints Book.
