Let's try to keep this short. By using this website, you agree that:

You give us a perpetual, nonexclusive, transferable, royalty-free, sublicensable, and worldwide license to use, host, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display any kind of content you send to the website in connection with operating and providing our services.

This is so that you can't claim you own content displayed in the website or associated places and demand compensation later

We may terminate your account at our discretion if you break our rules, that the ultimate decision of to terminate or not an account lies with our staff, and that you'll lose access to your account and data - if any paid content was provided, no refunds will be issued.

This is to make sure we can enforce the rules and good content in the website

You agree that any problem you might have arising from usage of the website and its associated products are your own, and no responsability or liability will be incurred into the website.

This is because accidents happen, but we'll do our best to avoid them, so don't sue us

We reserve the rights to completely change these Terms at any time, but we'll warn you with 30 days in advance.

Changes to how we operate the website and related services are inevitable, so we'll change the ToS accordingly.

This website is governed by the laws of Brazil and the laws of the Espírito Santo state. You agree that any legal conflicts must be settled in the courts of Vitória, ES, Brazil.

That's where our headquarters are.

This website strictly forbids any and all usage of any of its contents, including its API and user-generated content, as input to any kind of AI, neural network or machine learning algorithm or software.

AI is going to create a massive mess and I want no part in it.

In short, obey the rules and don't ask for reparations when shit happens,
we'll do our best to offer good, reliable services and fair treatment to everyone.
