Terms of Service

DRAFT — not reviewed by legal counsel and not legal advice. To be reviewed by a qualified lawyer (Quebec and Canada) before launch.

1. About these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of this website, operated by [Operator legal name] ("we", "us"). By creating an account you agree to these Terms, to our Contributor Licence (for anything you submit), and to follow our Community Guidelines. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.

2. The website

The website hosts an original fictional universe and lets members contribute creative writing about it. Community contributions are not official canon unless they are expressly marked as accepted by us. Selection for canon is entirely at our discretion.

3. Eligibility and accounts

• You must meet the minimum age shown at registration.
• You must provide accurate information and keep your password confidential. You are responsible for activity under your account.
• One person, one account, unless we agree otherwise. Usernames that impersonate others, staff or the website are not allowed.

4. Your contributions

• Your contributions are governed by the Contributor Licence, which you accept separately.
• Do not submit material you do not have the right to submit, including content copied from other franchises or authors.
• Mature themes and strong language are permitted in fiction within the limits of the Community Guidelines. Harassment, hate, threats and illegal content are not.

5. Moderation

We may review, label, hide or remove content, restrict features, or suspend or close accounts to enforce these Terms and the Community Guidelines, or where required by law. Where practical we will explain our decision and offer a way to request a review.

6. Our material

The Universe's original material (setting, lore, characters, names, artwork and official canon) belongs to us or our licensors. You may read and discuss it, and write contributions within it on this website. Other uses require our permission.

7. Deleting your account

You can request deletion of your account. Personal information is handled as described in the Privacy Policy. The effect on your contributions is described in the Contributor Licence; contributions accepted into canon remain part of the Universe.

8. Availability and changes

The website is provided "as is". We may change, suspend or discontinue features. We may update these Terms; for material changes we will notify members and, where required, ask for renewed acceptance.

9. Liability

[Limitation-of-liability clause to be drafted by counsel. Quebec consumer-protection law restricts exclusions of liability toward consumers; any clause must comply.]

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the applicable federal laws of Canada.

11. Language

[Counsel to confirm obligations under the Charter of the French Language, including the requirement to make standard-form contracts available in French first for Quebec consumers.]
