Note to owner: This is placeholder copy. Review with qualified legal counsel before publishing.

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using Open Source Self (“the Service”) you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

[PLACEHOLDER: Add legal entity name and jurisdiction.]

2. The Service

Open Source Self is a public profile platform for developers to share their open-source work, projects, objectives, and updates. The Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind.

3. Your account

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum digital age of consent in your country) to use the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

4. Your content

You retain ownership of the content you publish on the Service. By publishing content you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to display, host, and transmit that content as necessary to operate the Service.

You agree not to publish content that:

  • Violates any applicable law or regulation.
  • Infringes the intellectual property rights of others.
  • Is abusive, defamatory, or constitutes harassment.
  • Contains malicious code or attempts to circumvent security measures.

[PLACEHOLDER: Expand prohibited content list as appropriate.]

5. Handles

Handles are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. We reserve the right to reclaim handles that impersonate others, violate trademarks, or are obtained in bad faith.

6. Privacy

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

7. Analytics consent

We use PostHog for product analytics. Analytics data is only collected after you have given explicit consent via the banner shown on your first visit. You may withdraw consent at any time.

8. Termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, at our discretion, with or without notice. You may delete your account at any time via the Settings page.

9. Limitation of liability

[PLACEHOLDER: Add limitation of liability clause, disclaimer of warranties, and indemnification language appropriate for your jurisdiction.]

10. Changes

We may update these Terms. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. The “Last updated” date reflects the current version.
