These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of grassvalley.app, including the community feed, events, business directory, and chatrooms. By creating an account, posting content, or otherwise using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
1. Who can use grassvalley.app
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. Some features (such as the 18+ chatroom) require additional age verification. By using the site you represent that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
2. Your account
You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for any activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at the contact page if you suspect unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
3. User content
You retain ownership of the posts, photos, event listings, business descriptions, claims, and chat messages you submit ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant grassvalley.app a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce, and distribute it for the purpose of operating and promoting the site.
You are solely responsible for your User Content. You represent that you own it or have the rights necessary to grant the license above, and that it does not violate any law or third-party right.
4. Community rules
You agree not to post or transmit content that:
- is unlawful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or hateful;
- incites violence or targets people based on protected characteristics;
- sexualizes minors or violates the family-friendly nature of the general feed;
- infringes intellectual property or privacy rights;
- is spam, scam, phishing, or unsolicited advertising;
- misrepresents your identity, affiliation, or a business you do not control.
5. Chatrooms
The site offers two chatrooms: a family-friendly room open to all signed-in users, and an 18+ room available only to users who confirm a date of birth indicating they are 18 or older. By entering the 18+ room, you affirm you are an adult and accept that conversation there may include mature themes within the limits of these Terms. We may remove messages and revoke chat access at our discretion.
6. Business listings & claims
The directory may contain business information collected from public sources. Listing a business does not imply endorsement. Owners may submit a claim to take ownership of a listing; approval is at our discretion and may require verification. Approved owners can edit their listing but may not impersonate other businesses or post misleading information.
