Plain-English summary
This policy review highlights several user concerns. Cronometer retains broad discretion to terminate accounts, suspend services, and remove user content without liability. The company disclaims all liability for advice or services provided by third-party professionals, and users assume all risks when using the 'as is' platform, which offers no guarantees. Furthermore, Cronometer asserts extensive, perpetual rights to user-generated content, including a waiver of moral rights. Users consent to international data transfers and Cronometer's ownership of usage data without compensation. Premium service cancellations generally do not result in refunds, and the right to a refund is lost if the service is used, even within a seven-day window.
