5. Content and Intellectual Property

5.1 User-Generated Content

The Platform enables users to post messages, share media, and communicate with others ("User Content"). You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights in content you create and share through the Platform. However, by posting User Content, you grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and perform your User Content in connection with operating and improving the Platform.

5.2 Content Responsibility

You are solely responsible for all User Content you post or transmit through the Platform. You represent and warrant that you own or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to share such content and that your User Content does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws.

5.3 Platform Content

All content, features, functionality, software, and materials available on the Platform, excluding User Content, are owned by the Company or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Platform or included software without express written permission.

6. Content Moderation and Section 230

A Big Chat operates as an interactive computer service provider under the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. § 230. We do not pre-screen, endorse, or adopt User Content and are not responsible for statements, representations, or content posted by users.

We retain the right, but have no obligation, to monitor, review, edit, restrict visibility of, remove, or disable access to any User Content at any time, with or without notice, for any reason including but not limited to enforcing these Terms, protecting the safety of users, responding to legal requirements, or addressing reported violations.

Moderation decisions are made at our sole discretion and do not create any liability for content we choose not to moderate or remove. The availability of moderation tools does not obligate us to use them in any particular manner.

7. Privacy and Data Collection

Your use of the Platform is subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, store, and protect information. By using the Platform, you consent to such collection and processing of information as detailed in the Privacy Policy.

We may collect technical data including but not limited to IP addresses, device identifiers, connection timestamps, browser information, and usage patterns for purposes of security, moderation, compliance, and Platform improvement.

8. Prohibited Access Methods

To maintain Platform security and enforce these Terms effectively, access through virtual private networks (VPNs), proxy servers, Tor networks, anonymizers, or similar obfuscation technologies is strictly prohibited. We reserve the right to block connections originating from such services and to terminate accounts that attempt to circumvent this restriction.

This prohibition exists to enable effective moderation, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, and maintain community safety. Attempts to bypass this restriction constitute a material breach of these Terms.

9. Reporting and Safety

We encourage users to report violations of these Terms or conduct that raises safety concerns. Reports may be submitted through the Platform's reporting tools or by contacting us directly. While we endeavor to respond promptly to reports, we cannot guarantee investigation or specific action in response to any particular report.

In cases involving potential illegal activity, imminent harm, or violations of applicable law, we may preserve relevant information and disclose it to law enforcement or other appropriate authorities as required or permitted by law.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources that are not owned or controlled by the Company. We provide these links for convenience and do not endorse, verify, or assume responsibility for any third-party content, products, services, or practices.

Your interactions with third-party services, including any transactions or information exchanges, are solely between you and the third party. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party services you access.

11. Copyright and DMCA Compliance

We respect intellectual property rights and expect users to do the same. If you believe that content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice containing the information required by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)), including:
