Content Ownership
You retain full ownership and intellectual property rights to everything you publish.
WriteUpCafe does not sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit your content. Ever.
When you remove your content, our license to host and display it ends immediately.
Limited license: By publishing on WriteUpCafe, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute your content within the platform (feeds, search, recommendations). This license exists solely to operate the service.
Moderation
WriteUpCafe reserves the right to moderate content to maintain platform integrity and safety. If content is restricted or removed, we will communicate the reason, reference the applicable guideline, and provide an appeal mechanism where appropriate.
Moderation actions do not transfer ownership of your content to WriteUpCafe.
Platform IP
All platform elements not created by users — including logos, trademarks, software, UI, and branding — are the property of WriteUpCafe or its licensors. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer these materials without prior written permission.
Termination
You may stop using WriteUpCafe at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if these terms are violated, the platform is misused, or required by law.
Upon termination, your right to access the Services ends, but you retain ownership of your content and may request a data export where available.
Disclaimers & Liability
The Services are provided "as is" and "as available." WriteUpCafe makes no guarantees regarding accuracy of user-generated content or uninterrupted availability. Use of the platform is at your own risk.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, WriteUpCafe shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the Services, user-generated content, or platform interruptions.
You agree to indemnify WriteUpCafe from claims arising out of your content, your use of the Services, or violations of these terms or applicable laws.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of WriteUpCafe after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
