Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement") derives from the Chandraat Principles, and governs our relationship with users and others who interact with Chandraat. By using or accessing Chandraat, you agree to this Statement.

  1. Privacy

    Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use Chandraat to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information.  We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help make informed decisions.
  2. Sharing Your Content and Information

    You own all of the content and information you post on Chandraat, and you can control how it is shared. In addition:
    1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos ("IP content"), you specifically give us the following permission: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Chandraat ("IP License"). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
    2. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
    3. When you use an application, your content and information is shared with the application.  We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information.  
    4. When you publish content or information using the "everyone" setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Chandraat, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
    5. We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Chandraat, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
  3. Safety

    We do our best to keep Chandraat safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to do that, which includes the following commitments:
    1. You will not send or otherwise post unauthorized commercial communications (such as spam) on Chandraat.
    2. You will not collect users' content or information, or otherwise access Chandraat, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without our permission.

    4. You will not upload viruses or other malicious code.
    5. You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging to someone else.

    9. You will not use Chandraat to do anything unlawful, misleading, malicious, or discriminatory.
    10. You will not do anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working of Chandraat, such as a denial of service attack.
    11. You will not facilitate or encourage any violations of this Statement.
  4. Registration and Account Security

    Chandraat users provide their real names and information, and we need your help to keep it that way. Here are some commitments you make to us relating to registering and maintaining the security of your account:

    2. You will not create more than one personal profile.

    9. You will not transfer your account (including any page or application you administer) to anyone without first getting our written permission.
    10. If you select a username for your account we reserve the right to remove or reclaim it if we believe appropriate (such as when a trademark owner complains about a username that does not closely relate to a user's actual name).
