– Content created, posted, or shared through one Bamboobubble app may be shared and posted automatically across other Bamboobubble apps;

For instance, a video that you upload to Bamboobubble Now will also be uploaded to and accessible on Bamboobubble.
– We carry out content reviews both proactively (by utilizing procedures we’ve established to detect illicit and dangerous content) and reactively (for example, in reaction to alerts from users or authorities). We do this by using both technology and human moderators. You can read more about our approach to content moderation here.
– We reserve the right to remove or restrict access to any content, including yours, if we have good reason to believe that it violates these Terms or our Community Guidelines, puts us, our users, Affiliates, or other third parties at risk, or both. The criteria under which content on the Platform may be restricted or withdrawn are outlined in our Community

– If we decide to remove or restrict access to your content, we will promptly tell you and provide an explanation for our decision, unless there are legal or other reasons why we cannot do so.
– Should you believe that we erred in eliminating or limiting access to your content, you have the option to challenge our decision using the appeal features available on the Platform. We will then reevaluate our findings. Here is more information about our complaint resolution procedure, how to file an appeal, and other available channels for redress.

You can request separately that any Duet or Stitch videos that
feature your work be taken off.

-Copyright

-Trademark

4.9 Content ownership and license granting

Your content isn’t our property. Nothing in these Terms alters if you are the owner of the intellectual property rights to the content you publish on the Platform.
We require specific permissions from you in order to deliver the Platform (called a licence). These licenses’ specifics are listed below.
When you generate, publish, or otherwise make material available on the Platform, you provide Bamboobubble the following rights:
– The license is worldwide (meaning it applies anywhere in the world),
– non-exclusive (meaning you can license your content to others),
– royalty-free (meaning we don’t pay you for this license),
– transferable (meaning we can give the rights you grant us to someone else), and
– sub-licensable (meaning we can license your content to others, such as service providers that assist us in providing the Platform or reputable third parties that have entered into agreements with us to operate, develop, and provide the Platform).
– Global (signifying that the license is valid everywhere in the world)
Permission to use your content for the purposes of running, developing, and providing the Platform, subject to your Platform settings, includes the right to reproduce (e.g., copy), adapt or make derivative works (e.g., translate and/or create captions), perform, and communicate your content to the public (e.g., display it).The licence to your content that you grant to us extends to Affiliates as part of making the Platform available.
Additionally, you give every Platform user a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to access and use your content, including reproduction (copying, sharing, or downloading), adaptation or creation of derivative works (incorporating your content into other people’s works), performance, and public communication of that content (displaying it) for entertainment purposes, subject to your Platform settings.
When you terminate your account or when we remove your material from the Platform in compliance with these Terms, your licenses to Bamboobubble and users come to an end. However, the license granted shall remain in effect even after you have deleted your material to the extent that due to the nature of the Platform and our legal obligations:
– You have granted other Platform users permission to use or reuse your content (for example, by downloading or sharing files using Duet, Stitch, or other features) through your Platform settings;
– We are required by law to retain or process your content.
You consent to us using any comments, suggestions, or feedback you choose to send us for the purposes of running, creating, enhancing, and offering the Platform without paying you anything back.
In summary, content that you upload to the Platform is your property, but we may use it to operate the Platform. If you choose to grant other users access to your content, we may display it to them and they may be able to use it as well. That is the main purpose of our platform. Copies generated by other users might stay on the Platform even if you later remove it.

5. What we commit to provide you

For as long as we decide to offer the Platform, we guarantee that we will act with professional diligence and supply you with the Platform with reasonable skill and care. Additionally, we’ll do all in our power to ensure that users may access the Platform in a secure and safe manner. We make no guarantees that the Platform will be available in its current form or for any extended amount of time.
The majority of the content on the platform is user-generated content that is contributed by the people and companies that utilize it. Put another way, while Bamboobubble may create some content, it is not the primary creator of the majority of the content on the Platform. Consequently, Bamboobubble cannot and does not guarantee that any of the user-generated content you access on the Platform will not be subject to any obligatory regulations or laws (including sector-specific regulations or laws) that apply to Bamboobubble:
– Is precise, comprehensive, or current;
– doesn’t violate the rights of third parties;
– Is legitimate; that is,
– not cause you offense.
You acknowledge and accept that the content you may read on the Platform may not be appropriate for your purpose and does not reflect our opinions or values.
Links to websites, deals, services, promotions, and other events or activities that are not supplied, owned, or managed by Bamboobubble may be found on the Platform. Such third-party websites, ads, services, offers, gatherings, activities, information, materials, or goods are not endorsed by us. Use of them is at your own peril.
As long as we have exercised professional care, we disclaim any liability for any loss or harm we may have caused, unless it is:
– resulting from our violation of these terms; or
– At the time of entering into these Terms, it was fairly predictable, meaning that it was either known that it might happen at the time of this contract or it was evident that it will happen.
In the case that loss or damage results from circumstances outside of our reasonable control, we disclaim any liability.
Nothing in these Terms affects any statutory rights that you always have the legal right to, such as those arising from your status as a consumer, or that you cannot contractually agree to change or waive.
In situations where it would be illegal for us to do so, we do not in any way restrict or exclude our liability to you. You will always be fully protected by the applicable laws.

6. Postponing or terminating our partnership

6.1 Your entitlements

Anytime you choose to stop using the Platform and close your account, you can terminate your relationship with Bamboobubble. We have instructions in our Help Center on how to accomplish this.You can do this in-app or by utilizing the sample withdrawal form available here.
When you close your account within one Bamboobubble app, you will lose access to your content and account across all other Bamboobubble services that are connected to that account. This is because your account is applicable across the Bamboobubble app and website, Bamboobubble Now, and any other Bamboobubble services to which you have linked your account.
Nevertheless, even after you remove your account, some of your content might still be accessible on the Platform based on your Platform settings.
In other words, even though we hope you stay, you are free to leave at any time by closing your account and ceasing to use the Platform.

6.2 Rights of Bamboobubble

We reserve the right to look into any alleged violations of these Terms or our Community Guidelines. While we do this, we have the right to remove all or part of your material and to suspend your access to all or part of the Platform’s features. Depending on the severity of the alleged breach, we will act impartially and reasonably.
As a result, we may decide to restrict or limit your access to certain Platform services, or to suspend or terminate your account altogether, if:
– If we reasonably and objectively decide that you are consistently or materially violating these Terms or our Community Guidelines,
– We possess objective reasons to suspect that you are intending to violate these Terms or our Community Guidelines in a significant way;
– If mandated by law, we must comply;
– otherwise- It is justifiably necessary to address a significant technological or security concern.
We keep track of all the instances your account has broken our terms. A permanent account suspension could be imposed for multiple serious infractions or for one serious infraction. See this link for additional details.
In the event that you use our Platform once more (for instance, by creating a new account), we reserve the right to suspend or terminate any accounts that we have previously terminated due to violations of these Terms or Community Guidelines.
Unless it is inappropriate for us to do so, we reasonably believe that continuing access to your account will cause harm to us, Affiliates, our users, or other third parties, or we are legally prohibited from doing so, we will give you advance notice so you have time to download your data in-app (more details on how to do this can be found here).
You can use the appeal features on the Platform to challenge our decision if you believe we erred in suspending or canceling your account. We’ll then evaluate and make a new judgment.
To be clear, you will not be able to access Bamboobubble or Bamboobubble Now or any other Bamboobubble apps if we suspend, terminate, or remove your account.
In short: We have rules and, if you break them, Bamboobubble can take action against you which may include terminating your account.

7. Modifications to the Platform or these Terms

7.1 What occurs when we alter something

We reserve the right to sometimes modify the Platform or these Terms. If so, we will first take your reasonable interests into account.
Additionally, we will transparently notify you in a reasonable amount of time in advance of any substantial changes that will affect you and the date on which they will take effect. The modifications are exclusive to our future connection.
We might not be able to provide you advance notice when we have to make urgent changes for security, safety, legal, or regulatory purposes, but we will notify you as soon as we can.
You will have to discontinue using the Platform if you do not agree to the modifications made to the Terms or the Platform.
In short: If these Terms change, we will tell you. It won’t change anything between us that has happened already but, if you want to keep using the Platform in the future, you will need to agree to the changes. Our Platform will evolve as we improve it.

7.2 Justifications for modifications

We may modify the Platform or these Terms for the following reasons:
– events outside of our reasonable control;
– modifications to the law;
– adjustments we make to the Platform during the normal course of developing our product;
– adjustments to the Platform to accommodate new technologies;
– adjustments to reflect shifts in the number of users of the Platform or any pertinent feature or
– functionality of the Platform; or
– adjustments to address a security issue.
In summary, we will be open and honest about any significant changes we make to our platform, even though they won’t last forever.

8. Handling disagreements

The laws of the country where you currently reside will apply to these Terms.
In the event of a disagreement, we shall first attempt to settle it peacefully with you.
You or I may go to your local courts if we are unable to settle our disagreement. Additionally, you can visit the following courts:
– Disputes with Bamboobubble Technology Limited will fall under the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Republic of Ireland’s courts; and
– The non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England & Wales over matters involving Bamboobubble Information Technologies will apply.
In short: We hope we do not get into a dispute but, if we do, there are a couple of ways we can try to resolve it.

9. Other

You may not transfer or assign these Terms, or any rights and permissions included herein, but Bamboobubble may assign these Terms without restriction. Should we take this action, it won’t impact any rights you might have as a customer. Furthermore, you may always end this agreement and cease using the Platform at any moment if you’re not happy.
To put it briefly, we don’t want to do so, but if we ever decide to sell all or part of our firm or rearrange our operations, you might find that the Platform is provided to you by a different company.
After six months without you logging in, we reserve the right to recover your account name and make it available to other users. We may also do this if we have good reason to suspect that your account name breaches our terms and/or community guidelines (e.g. your account name violates third party trademark).
In other words, there are situations in which we might take back your account name.
A provision of these Terms may be enforced later by either of us, even if we or you delay in doing so. In the event that either of us delays taking action against the other for violating these terms, or if neither of us insists on doing anything that the other is required to do under these terms right away, it will not absolve either of us of our obligations to perform the necessary actions, nor will it stop us or you from taking action against the other in the future.
To put it succinctly: We both acknowledge and agree that these Terms, as written, constitute our agreement, even if neither of us depends on any one of these Terms.
