Terms of Service

1. What Viblio Is

Viblio is a web platform where people document, share, and discover AI projects. You can create a profile, showcase your builds, browse what others are creating, and interact through upvotes, saves, and follows. Think of it as a portfolio and inspiration platform for people building with AI.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Viblio. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this requirement. If you’re under 18, you should have a parent or guardian’s permission.

3. Your Account

When you create an account, you agree to:

• Provide accurate information.
• Keep your login credentials secure. You’re responsible for all activity on your account.
• Choose a username that doesn’t impersonate someone else, contain slurs, or violate our House Rules.

You can sign up with email and password, or through Google or GitHub OAuth. Either way, one account per person.

4. Your Content

You own what you create. When you post projects, write descriptions, or upload images to Viblio, you retain ownership of that content.

You give us a license to display it. By publishing content on Viblio, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and promote your content on and through the platform. This license exists so we can actually show your projects in the gallery, on your profile, and in search results. If you delete your content, this license ends (except for cached or archived copies that may take a short time to clear).

You’re responsible for it. Don’t post content that:

• You don’t have the right to share.
• Infringes on someone else’s intellectual property.
• Is illegal, harmful, threatening, defamatory, or obscene.
• Contains malware or malicious code.
• Violates our House Rules.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use Viblio for anything illegal.
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to extract data from the platform without our permission.
• Attempt to access other users’ accounts or private data.
• Interfere with the platform’s operation or security.
• Use Viblio to spam, harass, or abuse other users.
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

6. Intellectual Property

The Viblio platform — its design, code, brand, and original content — belongs to us. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the platform without permission.

User-generated content belongs to its creators, subject to the license described in Section 4.

7. Privacy

Your privacy matters to us. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why, and how we handle it. By using Viblio, you agree to our Privacy Policy.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

Viblio may display links to external websites, tools, or resources that users include in their projects. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content or practices. Follow external links at your own discretion.

9. Availability and Changes

We’re building Viblio actively, which means things will change. We may add, modify, or remove features at any time. We may also need to take the platform offline temporarily for maintenance or updates.

We’ll do our best to keep things running smoothly, but we don’t guarantee 100% uptime or that any specific feature will always be available.

10. Account Deletion

You can delete your account at any time from your Settings page. When you do:

• Your profile, projects, images, and all associated data are permanently deleted.
• Your upvotes, saves, and follows are removed.
• This action is irreversible.

We may also terminate or suspend your account if you violate these terms or our House Rules, with or without notice depending on the severity.

11. Disclaimers

Viblio is provided “as is” and “as available.” We don’t make warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We don’t guarantee that:

• The platform will be error-free or uninterrupted.
• Content posted by other users is accurate, legal, or safe.
• Your content will be preserved indefinitely (back up anything important).

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Viblio and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the platform. This includes lost profits, lost data, or business interruption.

Our total liability to you for any claim related to the platform is limited to the amount you’ve paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose (which, since Viblio is currently free, is zero).

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Viblio and its operator from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the platform, your content, or your violation of these terms.

14. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts located in Cook County, Illinois.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as Viblio evolves. If we make significant changes, we’ll notify you through the platform. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
