User-Generated Content Policy

Version 2026-06-04
Not legal advice. These policies are written as a community-friendly summary. They are not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. We are actively improving this language with counsel; bookmark this page and check the version stamp.

This policy covers everything you post on the Platform — listings, photos, profile content, posts, comments, reviews, messages, and any other content you submit.

You keep ownership

You retain all ownership and copyright in the content you submit. The Platform does not take title to your photos, descriptions, or posts.

You grant us a license to display it

By submitting content to the Platform, you grant the Platform a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to:

  • Host, store, copy, and back up your content
  • Display it as part of the Service
  • Reformat it for different devices (mobile, web, email)
  • Distribute it within the Service (e.g., search results, recommendations, feeds)
  • Use thumbnails and previews in notifications and emails

This license lasts only as long as your content is on the Platform. When you delete content, the license ends for that content (cached copies may persist briefly).

You warrant ownership and rights

You confirm that:

  • The content is yours, or you have permission from the owner
  • It does not infringe any copyright, trademark, or other third-party right
  • People appearing in any photo have consented to that use
  • It complies with our Community Guidelines

6. Your physical or electronic signature

We respond promptly to valid notices.

Our right to remove

We may remove any content at our discretion for: violating our policies, legal risk, safety concerns, or any other reason. We are not obligated to publish or display every submission.

Public vs. private content

  • Public — listings, profile, posts, comments, reviews — visible to other users
