Terms of Use

Last updated: November 12, 2026

1. Who we are and acceptance

Upkips is operated by Idílico Trapézio, Unipessoal, Lda. (VAT 517307286), Caminho da Igreja Velha, 44, 9020-087 Funchal, Portugal ("we"). These Terms of Use govern your use of Upkips. By creating an account or continuing to use Upkips, you confirm that you have read and accept these terms and the Privacy policy. If you use Upkips on behalf of a company, you confirm that you are authorised to bind it.

2. Your account

  • Give accurate details and keep your password and account access secure.
  • You are responsible for everything done with your account and for the members you invite to your workspaces.
  • Tell us straight away at [email protected] if you suspect misuse of your account.

3. Your content and rights over photos and files

"Content" is everything you upload or write in Upkips: photos, images, PDFs, manuals, documents, comments, articles and other data.

  • Only upload content that is yours or that you have permission to use. By uploading content, you confirm that you are its author or rights holder, or that you have a sufficient licence or permission from the rights holder (for example the manufacturer, the photographer or your client), and that the content does not infringe copyright, trademarks, image rights, privacy or any other third-party rights.
  • If a photo shows identifiable people, you confirm that you have their consent where the law requires it.
  • Your content stays yours. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to host, copy, resize and display it, only as far as needed to provide and improve the service.
  • Public content: what you publish in the equipment catalog or the community (model photos, attachments, articles) is visible to other users and to anyone on the internet. For that content, the licence above includes displaying it publicly and to other Upkips users, even after your account ends, for as long as it is part of the catalog.
  • You are solely responsible for the content you upload. We do not review content before it is published, but we may review, hide or remove it at any time if we believe it breaches these terms or the law.

4. Prohibited use

You must not use Upkips to:

  • upload third-party content without permission, including photos copied from websites, catalogs or social media;
  • upload content that is illegal, offensive, misleading, or contains viruses or malicious code;
  • try to access other organisations' data, get around technical or plan limits, or overload the service;
  • send spam or use Upkips for any unlawful purpose.

5. Reporting content and removal requests

If you find content on Upkips that infringes your rights (for example, your photo used without permission) or that is illegal, write to [email protected] with:

  • the address (link) of the page with the content;
  • a description of the content and of the right you believe is infringed;
  • your name and contact details and, where relevant, proof that you hold the rights or act on the holder's behalf;
  • a statement that the information you give is accurate.

We review each request promptly and, where justified, remove or block access to the content. We may let the user who uploaded it know. For repeated infringements we may suspend or close the account.

6. Responsibility for your content

If a third party makes a claim against us because of content you uploaded or use you made in breach of these terms, you agree to cooperate with us and to compensate us for the resulting damages and reasonable costs and expenses (including legal fees), as far as the law allows.

7. Plans and payments

Some features require a paid plan. Prices, the trial period and the renewal and cancellation terms are shown in the app before you subscribe. Payments are processed by Stripe.

8. Availability and limitation of liability

We do our best to keep Upkips available and your data safe, but the service is provided "as is" and may have interruptions or errors. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for lost profits, loss of data or indirect damages, and our total liability is limited to what you paid in the 12 months before the event. Nothing in these terms limits rights the law gives you as a consumer, or liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

9. Suspension and end of your account

You can stop using Upkips at any time. We may suspend or end access, with notice where possible, if you breach these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect the service and other users.

10. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. When a change is significant, we will ask you to accept the new version the next time you open Upkips. We keep the version and date of your acceptance.

11. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by Portuguese law. The courts of Madeira (Funchal) have jurisdiction over any dispute, without prejudice to mandatory rules protecting consumers. Consumers may also use an alternative dispute resolution body, listed at www.consumidor.gov.pt. Questions about these terms: [email protected].
