Terms of Service
Effective date: September 11, 2025

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you and the site operator (“we,” “us,” “our”) governing your access to and use of this website, apps, and services (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1) Eligibility & Accounts

  • You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service.
  • When you register, you must provide accurate information and keep it up to date. You’re responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for activities under your account.
  • We may refuse, reclaim, or remove usernames that impersonate others, violate rights, or are otherwise inappropriate.

2) Content & Licenses

  • “Content” means GIFs, images, text, profile info, links, and any other material you post to the Service (including through replies and comments).
  • You retain your rights to your Content. By posting Content on or through the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, display, and distribute such Content for the purpose of operating, improving, and promoting the Service.
  • You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to post the Content and to grant the above license, and that your Content does not violate any laws or third-party rights (including copyright, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights).
  • Some functionality sources GIFs from third-party providers (e.g., GIPHY). Use of such content is also subject to the provider’s terms; you agree to comply with them.

3) Prohibited Conduct

  • Do not post illegal content, non-consensual imagery, sexual content involving minors, harassment, threats, hate or violence, malware, spam, or attempts to circumvent moderation.
  • Do not scrape, reverse engineer, or access the Service via automated means not expressly permitted.
  • Do not attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, data, or systems, or interfere with the Service’s security or operation.

4) Moderation; Reporting; Blocking

  • We may remove or restrict Content, suspend or terminate accounts, or take other action at our discretion to protect users, enforce these Terms, or comply with law.
  • Users may report posts or comments and may block other users. We may review reports and take appropriate action.
  • We may preserve and disclose information as required by law or to protect users and the Service.

5) DMCA / Copyright

If you believe Content infringes your copyright, please send a notice containing: (a) your contact info; (b) identification of the work; (c) identification/URL of the allegedly infringing material; (d) a statement of good-faith belief; (e) a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized; and (f) a physical or electronic signature. Use our contact form. We may remove content and, where appropriate, terminate repeat infringers.

6) Third-Party Services

The Service integrates third-party services (e.g., GIPHY, Google reCAPTCHA). Their terms and privacy policies apply in addition to ours.

7) Maintenance & Changes

We may change or discontinue features, impose limits, or suspend the Service (e.g., for maintenance). We may update these Terms; the “Effective date” will be revised, and continued use constitutes acceptance.

8) Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT CONTROL OR ENDORSE USER CONTENT.

9) Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US (IF ANY) IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100.

10) Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

11) Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the state of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Except where prohibited, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, and you waive class actions and jury trials. If arbitration is unenforceable for a claim, exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall be in the courts located in Marion County, Florida. Consumers may have non-waivable rights under local laws.

12) Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access at any time with or without notice for any reason. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including licenses, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution.
