Quotabelle is a personal inspiration gallery – a welcoming place to discover women + girls who challenge, encourage and entertain us. We're keenly focused on the ideas and stories of real women + girls…well-known females and remarkable ones who are not widely known (yet). Quotabelle offers our users the opportunity to access quotes by females and learn more about the people behind the ideas. To achieve our goals, Quotabelle operates the website www.quotabelle.com (the “Site”) and social media applications, and offers various products and services, including research on female quote authors, products capturing your favorite quotes, on or through our Site (collectively, the “Services”).

First things first. Quotabelle is created with a heartfelt desire to have an impact by connecting people through ideas and stories.

In keeping with our brand, we have chosen not to use all caps in this document to call attention to certain items. We believe all caps come across as yelling. We don’t like being yelled at, and we’re guessing you don’t either.

This legal document outlines language that is important to protecting you and us. It lays out important terms that will govern our relationship.

So, please read it. If you don’t understand anything, let us know. If you simply don’t believe in how we do things, perhaps this is not the place for you. We understand.

This is important. These are the terms of service. Please read them carefully before using the Site and Services.

1. Acceptance of terms
