THE CURRENT BETA

Using the beta.

These terms cover the public CAKE and 9to1 websites and access to the invitation-only 9to1 Account beta.

Last updated 15 November 2026.

Who operates the service?

The operator is Jacob Bailey, acting personally and based in the United Kingdom. CAKE and 9to1 are service names, not a statement that a separate company has been registered. You can contact the operator at support@9to1.uk.

What these terms cover

The websites currently provide information about products and projects and links to external communities. Invitation-only account testing is being prepared; public sign-in and invitation redemption are not yet available. The account provisions below apply when the operator provides beta access. They do not promise that invitations are currently open.

Public account registration remains closed while the operator prepares for a future company-based launch.

This release does not sell subscriptions or provide a live AI service. Roadmap items, illustrations and product descriptions describe development plans; they are not a promise of availability, a release date or a paid entitlement. Future paid or AI services will require clear additional information and applicable terms before they are offered.

Invitation-only accounts

Account access is limited to people invited to the beta who are at least 13 years old and meet the account setup requirements. Use the email address your invitation was issued to. Do not sell, share, transfer or try to reuse an invitation.

Provide accurate account information and choose only an age group that applies to you. Keep your password and recovery access secure. Do not share your account or attempt to access somebody else’s. Tell us promptly if you suspect your account has been compromised.

Where Google sign-in is offered, it is an optional sign-in method, not a way to obtain an invitation or bypass account checks. A 9to1 Account does not replace the separate account or rules of Reddit, Discord or another linked platform.

Using the service responsibly

Do not use the service for unlawful activity, harassment, impersonation, malware, unauthorised access or attempts to disrupt the service. Do not bypass security or usage restrictions. Only submit information you are entitled to provide, and avoid putting sensitive information in optional profile fields.

If you discover a security issue, report it to support@9to1.uk. Do not access other people’s information or carry out disruptive testing. We can agree an appropriate scope before further investigation.

Changes, availability and account restrictions

This is a developing beta. Features may change, be interrupted or be withdrawn. Please do not rely on the beta as your only store for important information. We will explain significant changes through the website or, where appropriate, account email.

We may restrict an account where necessary to address a security issue, misuse, a legal requirement or the end of the beta. Where practical, we will explain the reason and how to ask for a review. Urgent protective action may be taken first. You can contact us to challenge a restriction.

Your information and leaving the beta

You retain rights in the information you provide. Our privacy notice explains how we use it to operate the service. Accepting these terms does not subscribe you to marketing or waive data-protection rights.

You can stop using the beta at any time and contact support@9to1.uk to request account closure or erasure. We will explain any information that must be retained for a particular legal or security reason and how backups are handled.

External services and important rights

External communities and linked services are run under their own terms. Their operators and moderators are responsible for those services. We do not promise that an external service will remain available.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits rights or responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including applicable consumer and data-protection rights. These terms do not claim that the beta is certified secure or legally compliant in every country.

Questions and updates

For support, accessibility needs, complaints or questions about these terms, contact support@9to1.uk. If the operator changes to a registered entity, or the service changes materially, we will publish the relevant details and terms before asking you to use the new offering.
