By accessing or using this website (the "Site"), you ("User" or "you") agree to be bound by these Usage Guidelines and Disclaimer (the "Agreement"). If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the Site. Your continued use of the Site following any changes to this Agreement constitutes acceptance of those changes.
You are solely responsible for all content ("Content") you upload, post, or otherwise transmit through the Site, regardless of the format (including, but not limited to, images, PDFs, and text). You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to the Content, including but not limited to all Intellectual Property Rights. By submitting Content to the Site, you grant us a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display the Content (in whole or in part) in any media now known or hereafter developed. This license includes the right for us to sublicense the Content. You acknowledge that once Content is approved and published on the site, ownership of the intellectual property within the content is transferred to the site owners, and you relinquish any rights to the content, including but not limited to copyright, trademark, and trade secrets.
You further represent and warrant that your Content does not and will not infringe the Intellectual Property Rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or other rights of any third party. You are solely responsible for any copyright infringement, defamation, harassment, or other legal issues that may arise from your Content.
While we may have administrators who review submitted Content, this review, whether performed or not, is for internal purposes such as site organization and does not constitute an endorsement or acceptance of the Content. The review process, even when active, is not a guarantee against inappropriate or illegal Content being posted. Whether Content is reviewed, approved, or not reviewed at all, the ultimate and sole responsibility for the Content lies exclusively with the User who uploads it. Even if Content is mistakenly approved by an administrator (whether due to human error, system malfunction, or any other reason), the User remains solely liable for its legality and appropriateness. We, including our administrators, developers, owners, and affiliates, are not responsible or liable for any Content uploaded by Users, regardless of whether it was reviewed or approved. Specifically, but without limitation, we are not responsible for Content that is defamatory, obscene, pornographic, infringing, illegal, harassing, bullying, or otherwise objectionable. This includes, but is not limited to, Content that is harmful to minors. The absence of a review process or the removal of any review process in the future does not alter this allocation of responsibility.
The Site utilizes a credit system. Users may earn credits for uploading Content. However, earning credits is not guaranteed. Credits are awarded at our sole discretion, and we reserve the right to deny or revoke credits for any reason, including but not limited to Content quality, originality, compliance with these terms, or suspected abuse of the credit system. Content that is not approved will not be posted and will not earn credits. We make no guarantees regarding the award of credits. Credits, if awarded, may be used to purchase Content from other users. Users must purchase the Content they upload to view it on the Site. Uploading Content does not grant the uploader free access to view that Content. We reserve the right to modify or terminate the credit system at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable for any issues related to the credit system, including but not limited to errors in credit balances, denial of credits, or changes to the system. Participation in the credit system constitutes your acceptance of these terms.
