Terms of Service
Last updated: September 24, 2026
These terms govern WebDesignerNews and its advertising services. Please read them before creating an account or purchasing a placement.
1. Who we are and your agreement
WebDesignerNews is operated by Bergside SRL, presented in English as Bergside LLC (“Bergside,” “we,” “us”). These terms form the agreement between us and the person or business using our services (“you”). Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled.
You must be at least 18 to create an account or buy advertising. If you act for a business, you confirm that you have authority to bind it. Advertising placements are offered for business and professional promotion. If you do not agree to these terms, do not create an account or place an order.
2. Accounts and acceptable use
Membership is by invitation and accounts use Google sign-in only. Invitations are tied to the intended recipient’s Google email, expire 24 hours after issue, and can be used once to create a membership. Do not sell or misuse invitation links. Keep your Google account secure, provide accurate information, and tell us promptly about unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity you authorize through your account.
Do not use the service for fraud, spam, malware, unlawful content, impersonation, harassment, infringement, vote manipulation, or interference with our systems. Do not bypass access controls or extract content in a way that infringes rights or materially disrupts the service. We may restrict accounts or remove content where reasonably necessary to address a breach, a security risk, or a legal requirement.
3. Content and external websites
Our branding, original design, and original content belong to Bergside or its licensors. Third-party articles, images, trademarks, and linked material remain the property of their respective owners. Viewing the site does not transfer ownership or grant a right to republish protected material.
You retain ownership of the content you submit. You grant us a non-exclusive license to host, reproduce, display, and distribute your profile, posts, and comments as needed to operate and promote the service. Submit only content you have the right to share, and do not disclose another person’s private information without a lawful basis. We may moderate or remove content under these terms; contact us about corrections or removal requests.
News links and sponsored placements are provided for discovery. A link or advertisement is not an endorsement or a guarantee of accuracy, safety, or suitability. External websites have their own terms and privacy practices. We do not control their content or transactions.
4. Advertising placements
Tool submission includes a Designer Tools listing with a logo, title, description, and destination link. Featured feed advertising rotates a sponsored headline and link through the seventh position of the feed; it is shared with other featured advertisers and is not exclusive. Sponsor updates includes a company-logo tab beside Curated and Community and a dedicated feed of product updates and links, with a maximum of five active sponsor placements.
Only the placement described at checkout is included. Publication requires verified payment and complete, suitable materials. You can manage your materials through your account; we may review, restrict, or remove them under these terms. A one-time tool submission does not promise a particular search-engine treatment, search ranking, or an indefinite service lifetime.
You must supply your materials promptly and hold all rights and permissions needed to display them. You grant us a non-exclusive license to host, reproduce, resize, and display those materials to deliver the placement. You remain responsible for the product, destination website, claims, and legal compliance of your advertising.
We may reject or suspend misleading, unlawful, infringing, unsafe, or unsuitable advertising and request replacement materials. We may label placements as sponsored. Delays caused by missing or noncompliant materials do not postpone the billing period or create a refund entitlement, except where required by law.
We do not promise a minimum number of views, clicks, leads, conversions, sales, search rankings, or revenue. Audience size and performance vary. A reservation is for advertising space, not a guaranteed commercial result.
5. Price, automatic renewal, and cancellation
Tool submission costs $100 USD once and does not renew. Featured feed advertising costs $300 USD per month. Sponsor updates costs $1,000 USD per month. The two monthly plans renew and are billed automatically until canceled. Applicable taxes are shown at checkout. Completing checkout authorizes the charges for the selected plan under the terms expressly accepted with your order. Creem handles checkout and billing; its applicable checkout terms also apply to payment processing.
Cancel future renewals before your next billing date through Advertise → Manage subscription, which opens the Creem billing portal. Follow the portal’s cancellation steps and retain its confirmation. Contact us if you cannot access cancellation. Deleting an account, signing out, removing creative materials, or stopping use of the site does not cancel a subscription.
Cancellation normally takes effect at the end of the paid billing period. The placement remains reserved until then, subject to these terms. A failed or overdue payment may lead to suspension or cancellation. We will give notice of material changes to recurring prices before they take effect and obtain additional agreement where required.
6. Non-refundable advertising
All advertising purchases and renewal payments are final and non-refundable, except where a refund is required by applicable law. We do not provide discretionary refunds or credits for unused time, early cancellation, a change of mind, failure to supply suitable materials, or results that do not meet your expectations.
Canceling stops future renewals; it does not reverse a completed charge or entitle you to a prorated refund for the current period. This policy does not remove mandatory withdrawal, refund, remedy, or payment-dispute rights, and does not authorize charges made without your consent. Contact us promptly if a charge is incorrect or a purchased service has not been provided.
7. Service availability and warranties
We use reasonable care in operating the service, but interruptions, maintenance, third-party failures, and technical errors can occur. To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without additional express or implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and uninterrupted or error-free availability. Statutory guarantees that cannot be excluded remain in effect.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Bergside’s total aggregate liability arising from or relating to an advertising order will not exceed the amount actually paid by that client for the specific advertising placement and billing period giving rise to the claim. This cap applies across all claims and legal theories relating to that order, including contract, negligence, and other tort claims, to the extent a cap is lawful.
To the same extent, Bergside and its personnel are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenue, business opportunities, goodwill, or data, arising from the service or an advertising campaign.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury where exclusion is unlawful, or any other liability or right that applicable law does not permit us to exclude or limit. Mandatory consumer protections and data-protection rights remain unaffected. The limitations operate only to the extent enforceable in your circumstances.
9. Advertiser responsibility for third-party claims
To the extent permitted by law, a business advertiser will indemnify Bergside for third-party claims and reasonable defense costs arising from its unlawful advertising, infringement by its supplied materials, or material breach of these terms. This does not cover loss caused by our own unlawful conduct. We will notify you of a relevant claim and reasonably cooperate; no settlement may impose an admission or nonmonetary obligation on you without your consent.
10. Changes, disputes, and general terms
Romanian law applies, subject to mandatory protections available under other applicable laws. Disputes may be brought before courts with jurisdiction under applicable law; these terms do not require arbitration or waive mandatory consumer venues. Please contact us first where practical so we can try to resolve a problem.
We may update these terms prospectively and show a new effective date. Material changes affecting an existing subscription will be communicated before they apply, with fresh agreement where required. Changes do not retroactively remove accrued rights. If one provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent lawful. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
