General Terms of Use

Welcome to the legal context of The Smore. These terms are here to protect both you and our platform and to ensure a fair, creative environment.

1. Access and Code of Conduct

Using our platform is a privilege. We expect users to treat each other's work with respect. It is forbidden to upload harmful, illegal, or discriminatory content. Abuse of our AI tools for the creation of inappropriate content will result in an immediate block of your IP address.

2. Intellectual Property & Uploads

Your work is yours. However, by uploading content to The Smore, you give us a limited license:

• You retain all copyrights to your original photos.
• You allow us to use the photo within the context of jury reports, Morning Briefings, and the public gallery.
• You guarantee that you are the rightful owner or have permission for every upload you make.
• You accept that AI-generated texts are satire and are not binding as professional advice.

3. Limitation of Liability

The Smore offers technological experiments on an "as is" basis. While we strive for perfection, we cannot be held responsible for errors in AI outputs, temporary downtime, or loss of data. Please note: Our "AI Jury" is an algorithm and its judgment is purely for entertainment purposes and not intended as a personal insult.

4. Community Management

The Smore reserves the right to remove content that we deem inappropriate or that harms the integrity of the community without prior notice.

5. Final Provisions

Changes to these terms take effect immediately upon publication. We recommend visiting this page regularly to stay informed of your rights and obligations as a Smore user.
