Terms of Service

§ 01Who We Are & Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you ("you") and luv2h8, operated by [Operating Entity — legal name & form, to be inserted] of [registered address, to be inserted]("luv2h8," "we," "us," or "our"), together with its affiliates, operators, founders, owners, directors, employees, and agents. They govern your access to the luv2h8 website, applications, APIs, and related services (the "Platform").

By registering, browsing, posting content, voting, or otherwise using the Platform, you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Cookie Policy, each incorporated by reference.

§ 02What the Platform Is

luv2h8 lets users rate, react to, and comment on public figures on a "luv ↔ h8" scale and to view aggregated sentiment. The Platform has two distinct kinds of content, treated differently under these Terms and under law:

• User-generated content — votes, comments, suggestions, and anything else you submit. For this content luv2h8 acts as a neutral intermediary and does not pre-screen or adopt it (see §6).
• Editorial & AI-assisted content — news summaries, rankings, headlines, and illustrations that luv2h8 itself generates or compiles. We are responsible for this content as a publisher. It is produced in part by automated systems from third-party news sources, may contain inaccuracies, and is offered as commentary, opinion, and summary of matters of public interest — not as statements of verified fact. We aim to correct material errors promptly on request (see §11).

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Platform or any feature at any time, with or without notice, to the extent permitted by law.

§ 03Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into contracts in your jurisdiction. By using the Platform you represent that you meet these requirements. We do not knowingly permit access by anyone under 18.

§ 04Your Account

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or applicable law, or where reasonably necessary to protect the Platform or others.

§ 05User Content & Your Responsibility

By submitting content you represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights to it;
• It does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
• It complies with applicable laws and these Terms.

You grant luv2h8 a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting), display, and distribute your content for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Platform. This license ends when you delete your content, except for copies retained in backups or as required by law.

Prohibited content & conduct

You agree not to post or facilitate content or conduct that:

• Is unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or tortious;
• Constitutes targeted harassment, stalking, or coordinated harassment;
• Promotes or facilitates illegal activity, violence, or self-harm;
• Contains child sexual abuse material or any content exploiting minors;
• Infringes intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
• Impersonates any person or entity in a misleading manner;
• Involves spam, scraping, malware, or attempts to gain unauthorized access to the Platform.

We use a combination of automated tools and human review to moderate user content. Violations may result in content removal, account suspension, and, where appropriate, reports to law enforcement.

§ 06Intermediary Status for User Content

We do not monitor or pre-screen user content and assume no duty to do so. With respect to user content, luv2h8 claims the protections available to interactive computer service providers, including Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230) and comparable provisions elsewhere. This intermediary protection does not apply to editorial or AI-assisted content that luv2h8 itself produces (see §2 and §11), nor does it apply to intellectual property claims (see §8).

Disputes arising between users from user content are between those users. We are not a party to such disputes and have no obligation to intervene, though we may act on reports at our discretion.

§ 07Disclaimers of Warranties

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, whether express, implied, or statutory, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that content (including AI-generated content) is accurate or complete.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any warranty or right that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including mandatory consumer-protection rights.

§ 08Intellectual Property & Copyright (DMCA)

The Platform — its software, design, branding, and luv2h8-produced content — is owned by or licensed to luv2h8. You receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Platform under these Terms. Public figures' names and likenesses are used for the purpose of news reporting, commentary, and criticism on matters of public interest.

Copyright complaints & takedown

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to valid notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and equivalent laws. If you believe content on the Platform infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at [email protected]including: (a) identification of the work; (b) the URL of the material; (c) your contact details; (d) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act; and (f) your signature. We will remove or disable infringing material in appropriate cases and may terminate repeat infringers' accounts. A counter-notice procedure is available to affected users.

Publicity & personal-rights requests

A public figure (or their representative) who objects to how they are depicted may contact [email protected]. We will review requests in good faith, balancing newsworthiness and free expression against individual rights.

§ 09Limitation of Liability

Our total cumulative liability for all claims relating to the Platform will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law — including, where applicable, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or gross negligence, and the mandatory rights of consumers. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

§ 10Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless luv2h8 and its founders, owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, and service providers from claims, damages, losses, and reasonable legal fees arising out of: your content; your use of the Platform; your violation of these Terms; or your violation of any law or third-party right. This section does not apply to the extent a loss is caused by luv2h8's own breach, negligence, or wilful misconduct, and (for EU/UK consumers) applies only to the extent permitted by mandatory law. We may assume control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate.

§ 11Corrections & Reporting Mechanism

We provide ways to report content and to request corrections to luv2h8-produced editorial content. To report unlawful content, flag a comment, or request a correction, use the in-product reporting tools or email [email protected]. We will review reports and act where appropriate. This serves as our point of contact for notices, including under applicable online-safety and intermediary regimes.

§ 12Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

This section applies to the extent permitted by your local law. Please read it carefully — it affects how disputes are resolved.

For users in the United States: you and luv2h8 agree to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration rather than in court, and you waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm.

Arbitration will be administered by a recognized arbitration body under its consumer/commercial rules. Allocation of arbitration fees will follow those rules and applicable law; where the rules require, luv2h8 will bear fees that would otherwise make arbitration cost-prohibitive for an individual consumer.

For consumers in the EEA and UK: nothing in this section requires you to arbitrate or waives your right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence, and you retain all mandatory statutory and consumer-protection rights. Mandatory arbitration and class-action waivers do not apply to you to the extent they are unenforceable under your local law.

Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of [governing jurisdiction — to be inserted], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except that consumers benefit from the mandatory laws of their country of residence. To the extent a claim proceeds in court, the courts of [venue — to be inserted]have jurisdiction, subject to a consumer's right to sue locally.

§ 13Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access for breach of these Terms or where reasonably necessary, with notice where practicable. You may stop using the Platform and delete your account at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including §§5–10 and §12 — survive.

§ 14Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms. We will post the updated Terms with a revised effective date and, for material changes, provide reasonable notice (for example, in-product or by email). Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance; if you do not agree, stop using the Platform.

§ 15Miscellaneous

Severability: if any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

Waiver: failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

Entire agreement: these Terms, with the Privacy and Cookie Policies, are the entire agreement on this subject.

Assignment: you may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure: we are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
