Terms of Service

Cratecode LLC ("Cratecode", "we", "our", or "us") operates the website https://cratecode.com (the "Site"), which provides an online learning platform that allows users to upload, view, and fork ("fork" means to create a new copy on the platform) lessons ("Lessons"). By using Cratecode, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, you may not use Cratecode.

We may modify these Terms of Service at any time without prior notice. By using Cratecode after any such modification, you agree to be bound by the modified Terms of Service.

1. User Content

For the purposes of these Terms of Service, "User Content" refers to any content submitted by users to Cratecode, including but not limited to Projects, Lessons, Comments, and Feedback.

1.2. Uploading User Content

By uploading a Lesson, Project, Comment, or Feedback ("User Content") to Cratecode, you represent that:

You have the right to upload the User Content to Cratecode and to grant the rights granted in these Terms of Service.

The User Content does not contain any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information.
The User Content is not obscene, libelous, defamatory, threatening, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or otherwise objectionable.

When you upload or fork a Project or Lesson, or submit Comments or Feedback ("User Content") on Cratecode, you grant Cratecode and its users a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to (i) copy, distribute, modify, and publicly display that User Content, and (ii) sublicense these same rights to anyone, for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. You also grant Cratecode the right to use your name, username, nickname, and profile picture in connection with that User Content and waive any rights of privacy or publicity to the extent permissible under applicable law.
