Your account & use of WCAC

• Provide accurate info; keep credentials secure; you’re responsible for activity on your account.
• You must be 13+ and legally able to agree to these Terms in your region.
• We may offer creator features; participation may require additional terms (we’ll show them to you if/when applicable).

Your content — you own it; you license it to us

• Ownership. You own the intellectual property in the content you post on WCAC. We do not claim ownership.
• License to WCAC. To run and promote WCAC, you grant WCAC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, create derivative works from, publish, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display your content solely to operate, improve, and promote WCAC and your presence on it (e.g., show your posts to others, create thumbnails, translate captions, feature your work on our homepage/social channels, compile cultural collections).
• Respecting your settings. We honor any visibility settings you use.
• Ending the license. This license ends when you delete the content or your account. Copies may persist for a reasonable period in backups, and content already shared or re-posted by others may remain until they remove it.
• Your promises. You have the rights to post your content and to grant the license above; your content doesn’t infringe others’ rights, violate laws, or disclose personal data of others without permission.

License to other users (inside WCAC)

If WCAC includes in-product sharing (e.g., re-posts/embeds), you grant other WCAC users a non-exclusive license to view and share your public content within WCAC consistent with platform features. (This does not allow commercial use off-platform without your permission.)

Prohibited behavior

You agree not to:

• break laws; harass, threaten, or incite hatred; post sexually exploitative, violent, or fraudulent content;
• infringe IP or privacy; upload malware; scrape or reverse engineer; interfere with the service;
• misuse of reporting or moderation tools; attempt to create automated accounts without permission.

We may remove content or suspend accounts to protect users and the platform.

Moderation & takedowns

We may review, label, or remove content that violates these Terms or our Community Guidelines and, where appropriate, disable or terminate accounts. To report infringement, use legal@wecareaboutculture.com (DMCA/notice details provided on our site). Repeat infringers may be terminated.

Payments & “Support a Creator”

• Payments are processed by Stripe (or similar). By transacting, you agree to their terms and privacy.
• Fees, payout timing, and applicable taxes are shown at checkout or in your dashboard.
• We may issue refunds or reverse transactions when required (fraud/chargebacks/illegal activity).
• WCAC is not a broker or fiduciary; creators are responsible for their own tax reporting.

Messaging / “Support Me” notes

Messages sent through WCAC must follow these Terms. We may use automated and human review to prevent abuse and keep the community safe. Creators can control whether to accept or respond to messages.

Intellectual property of WCAC

WCAC, our logos, code, designs, and original content are protected by IP laws and remain our property or our licensors’. Don’t use our marks without written permission.

Third-party services

Links or integrations (e.g., Stripe, translation, analytics) are provided for convenience. Their terms and privacy policies apply; we’re not responsible for third-party services.

Disclaimers & limitation of liability

WCAC is provided “as is” and “as available.” We don’t guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. To the fullest extent allowed by law, WCAC isn’t liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for user-generated content. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of USD $100 or the amount you paid to WCAC in the 12 months before the claim.

Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify WCAC and our team against claims arising from your content or your violation of these Terms or applicable laws.

Termination

You may stop using WCAC anytime and can delete your account in settings. We may suspend or terminate accounts to protect users, comply with law, or for violations. Some sections (IP licenses granted, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity) survive termination.

Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, USA, unless mandatory laws of your country require otherwise. Venue and jurisdiction: Philadelphia County, PA, except where local consumer law gives you rights to file closer to home.
EU/EEA/UK/Brazil/Nigeria residents: nothing here limits your statutory rights.

Changes to these Terms

We’ll post updates and the new Effective date. Material changes may be notified in-app or by email. Continued use means you accept the updated Terms.
