1. Using our Service.

• Your groupanic Account and Community. If you create a community, a social network or website on groupanic (collectively, "community"), you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and your community and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the community. You must immediately notify groupanic of any unauthorized uses of your community, your account, or any other breaches of security. Groupanic will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.
• Responsibility of Contributors. If you operate a community, comment on a community, post material or links to a community or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available (any such material, "Content"), you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content or your conduct. That is the case regardless of what form the Content takes, which includes, but is not limited to text, photo, video, audio, or code. By using groupanic, you represent and warrant that your Content and conduct do not violate these Terms or the User Guidelines. By submitting Content to groupanic for inclusion on your community, you grant groupanic a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing, and promoting your community. This license allows groupanic to make publicly-posted content available to third parties selected by groupanic, so that these third parties can analyze and distribute (but not publicly display) your content through their services. If you delete Content, groupanic will use reasonable efforts to remove it from groupanic, but you acknowledge that caching or references to the Content may not be made immediately unavailable. Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, groupanic has the right (though not the obligation) to, in groupanic’s sole discretion, (i) reclaim your username or website's URL due to prolonged inactivity, (ii) refuse or remove any content that, in groupanic’s reasonable opinion, violates any groupanic policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or (iii) terminate or deny access to and use of groupanic to any individual or entity for any reason. Groupanic will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.
• HTTPS. We offer free HTTPS on all groupanic sites by default, including those using custom domains, via Let’s Encrypt and Cloudflare. By signing up and using a custom domain on groupanic, you authorize us to act on the domain name registrant’s behalf (by requesting the necessary certificates, for example) for the sole purpose of providing HTTPS on your site.
• Advertisements. groupanic reserves the right to display advertisements on your community unless you have paid for a plan that includes the removal of our ads.
• Attribution. groupanic reserves the right to display attribution text or links in your site footer, attributing groupanic or the theme author, for example. These texts or links may not be altered or removed. Attribution text or links may only be hidden if you are subscribed to a plan that explicitly includes the removal of these texts and links.

2. Responsibility of Visitors.

groupanic has not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material, including computer software, posted to our Services, and cannot therefore be responsible for that material's content, use or effects. By operating our Services, groupanic does not represent or imply that it endorses the material there posted, or that it believes such material to be accurate, useful, or non-harmful. You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content. Our Services may contain content that is offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable, as well as content containing technical inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, and other errors. Our Services may also contain material that violates the privacy or publicity rights, or infringes the intellectual property and other proprietary rights, of third parties, or the downloading, copying or use of which is subject to additional terms of service, stated or unstated. Groupanic disclaims any responsibility for any harm resulting from the use by visitors of our Services, or from any downloading by those visitors of content there posted.

3. Fees, Payment, and Renewal.

• Fees. By using a Paid Service, you agree to pay the specified fees, which we'll bill or charge you for in regular intervals (such as monthly, annually, or biennially), on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time by contacting the relevant support team.
• Payment. If your payment fails or Paid Services are otherwise not paid for on time, we may immediately cancel or revoke your access to the Paid Services. If you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse the charge of fees for Paid Services, we may revoke your access to our Services in general.
• Automatic Renewal. To ensure uninterrupted service, our Paid Services are automatically renewed. This means that unless you cancel a Paid Service before the end of the applicable subscription period, it will automatically renew, and you authorize us to invoice you or use any payment mechanism we have on record for you to collect the then-applicable subscription fee (as well as any taxes). Your Paid Services are renewed for the same interval of time. For example, if you purchase a groupanic annual plan, you will be charged each year.
• Refunds. While you may cancel a Paid Service at any time, refunds are issued in our sole discretion.
• Fee Changes. We may change our fees at any time. When applicable, we may give you advance notice of the fee changes. If you don't agree with the fee changes, you can cancel your Paid Service.

4. Content Posted on Other Websites.

We have not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material, including computer software, made available through the websites and webpages to which groupanic links, and that link to groupanic. Groupanic does not have any control over those non-groupanic websites, and is not responsible for their contents or their use. By linking to a non-groupanic website, groupanic does not represent or imply that it endorses such website. You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content. Groupanic disclaims any responsibility for any harm resulting from your use of non-groupanic websites and webpages.
