Chatib reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to monitor, edit, refuse to post, or remove any content, and to suspend or terminate the access of any user who violates these guidelines. If you encounter content or behavior that violates these rules, please report it using the in-chat reporting tools or by emailing [email protected] with relevant details (room name, username, and a description of the issue) so our moderation team can review and act on it.

The Platform allows you to post, link, store, and share text, images, and other information ("Content"). You retain all ownership rights to any Content you submit. By posting Content on Chatib, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute your Content solely within the context of operating and improving the Service.

Summary: Chatib is an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 and comply with COPPA.

Chatib is intended solely for users 18 years of age or older and is not directed at children. In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that a user under the age of 18 has created an account or submitted personal information, we will take steps to delete such information and terminate the associated account, and may apply an IP ban to prevent further access. If you believe a child may be using Chatib, please report it immediately to [email protected].

We reserve the right to temporarily suspend, modify, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice, for maintenance, upgrades, security reasons, or any other reason. We shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.

7. Can My Account Be Suspended? (Account Termination Policy)

Summary: We may suspend or terminate accounts for Terms violations, with or without prior notice.

Chatib may suspend, restrict, or permanently terminate your access to the Service, with or without prior notice, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms, engaged in conduct harmful to other users or the Platform, or for any other reason we deem necessary to protect the community. Repeated or severe violations (including attempts to evade an existing ban) will typically result in a permanent IP ban. You may stop using the Service and discontinue your account at any time. Provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination (including but not limited to intellectual property, liability limitations, and dispute resolution provisions) will continue to apply after termination.

8. What Is Chatib's Liability Limitation?

Summary: Chatib is not liable for indirect damages, third-party conduct, or service interruptions, to the maximum extent the law allows.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Chatib, its founders, developers, employees, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your access to or use of, or inability to access or use, the Service; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the Service; or (iii) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content. You agree to indemnify and hold Chatib harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Service or your violation of these Terms.

9. How Are Disputes Resolved? (Arbitration & Class Action Waiver)

Summary: Disputes are resolved through binding individual arbitration where permitted by law, and class actions are waived.

Where permitted by applicable law, you and Chatib agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. You and Chatib agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the dispute between you and Chatib individually, and you waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative action. If any part of this arbitration provision is found unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms shall remain in full force, and disputes shall instead be resolved exclusively in the courts identified in Section 10.

Subject to Section 9 (Dispute Resolution), any disputes arising from these Terms that are not subject to arbitration shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, USA. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.
