You retain ownership of content you submit to the Service. By submitting content, you grant the operator a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, display, and transmit that content solely for the purpose of operating the Service.

You are solely responsible for the content you post. The operator does not pre-screen user content and is not liable for any content posted by users.

The direct messaging feature is available to registered users only. Direct messages are private between sender and recipient, but the operator may access message content where required by law or to investigate violations of these Terms.

7. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The operator does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if the operator has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
