6. Content Ownership

By using SkillMatcha, you retain ownership of any content that you submit, post, or display on the platform, including but not limited to profile photos, text, and interactions. However, by submitting content to the platform, you grant SkillMatcha a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, and distribute your content in connection with the operation of the service.

You are solely responsible for the content that you create and share. You agree that your content will not violate any laws, infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, or contain material that is offensive, defamatory, or otherwise harmful.
SkillMatcha reserves the right to remove or block any content that violates these terms or is deemed inappropriate.

In the event that you terminate your account, the license you granted us will continue for any public content you submitted, as it may have already been shared or integrated into the platform.

7. Safety and Interactions

SkillMatcha is committed to promoting a safe and respectful environment, but we do not guarantee user behavior. While we provide tools to report and block inappropriate content or users, it is ultimately your responsibility to take appropriate safety measures when interacting with others through the platform.

SkillMatcha does not conduct criminal background checks on its users and does not verify the accuracy of information provided by users.
You are responsible for your interactions, both on the platform and offline. When engaging with other users, particularly in person, exercise caution, trust your instincts, and follow all local safety regulations.

We encourage you to follow our safety guidelines, which include meeting in public spaces, informing friends or family of your plans, and conducting thorough due diligence before meeting someone in person. If you feel threatened or unsafe, please report the incident to local law enforcement as well as to our support team.

8. Modifications and Termination

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue our services at any time. We may terminate or suspend your account if you violate these Terms of Service.

9. Limitation of Liability

SkillMatcha provides its services on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis, and we expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Under no circumstances shall SkillMatcha, its affiliates, or its employees be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from:
- Your access to or use of, or inability to access or use, the service.
- Any conduct or content of any third party on the service, including without limitation, any defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of other users or third parties.
- Any unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.

To the extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim arising out of your use of SkillMatcha will be limited to the amount you paid us, if any, for accessing the service.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside, unless otherwise required by applicable laws. Any disputes arising from these terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in your local jurisdiction, unless otherwise specified by mandatory local laws.

In cases where the applicable law differs based on your location, SkillMatcha reserves the right to comply with those mandatory legal requirements while maintaining its rights and obligations under these Terms.
