• Creating an account request does not grant immediate access.
• Your registration is subject to administrator review and approval.
• Administrators may assign you to a role/group (e.g., artist, teacher) to enable Platform features.
• We may refuse or revoke approval to protect Platform safety and integrity.

4) Your responsibilities

You agree to:

• Provide accurate account information and keep it updated.
• Keep your login credentials secure and notify us if you suspect unauthorized access.
• Use the Platform lawfully and respectfully.

The Platform supports collaboration and showcasing, including direct messaging, forums, project pages, and events.

Users may message any registered user, subject to these Terms and moderation.

6) Acceptable use

You must not:

• Harass, threaten, hatefully target, stalk, dox, or intimidate others.
• Share illegal content, malware, spam, scams, or impersonate others.
• Post or upload content that violates others’ privacy or intellectual property rights.
• Attempt to disrupt the Platform, bypass security, or scrape/automate access abusively.

7) User content (uploads, posts, projects)

• You own the content or have the necessary rights/permissions to upload it.

• Technical processing (e.g., formatting, caching);
• Maintaining security and making backups.

This license ends when you delete the content or close your account, subject to our backup retention practices.

9) Visibility and publication rules (private platform vs public website)

• For public project pages, creators decide whether to include their name or artistic alias in the public description.
