We understand it’s tempting to skim over these General Terms of Service, but they’re essential for clarifying what we’ll provide to you, as well as what we require from you in return.

These Terms of Service reflect how Nexus operates, the legal requirements we follow, and the values we’ve always believed in. They outline our relationship with you as you engage with our services. For instance, these terms cover:

  • Resolving issues or disagreements – the legal rights you have and what happens if someone violates these terms

Your access to or use of our services (whether you’re signed in or not) indicates that you agree to these Terms of Service. In addition to these terms, we also have a Privacy Policy that we encourage you to review, as it explains how you can update, manage, export, and delete your personal information.
