- Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
- All activities that occur under your account
- Providing accurate and complete information
- Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use

5. Open Source Content
All content submitted to public deliberations is open source. By submitting ideas, votes, or comments to a public deliberation, you agree that this content becomes a public contribution to collective decision-making and is freely available for anyone to view, reference, build upon, and redistribute.
This reflects the core philosophy of Unity Chant: democratic decisions should be transparent and their inputs should belong to everyone, not locked behind proprietary walls.
Specifically, content submitted to public deliberations is made available under Creative Commons Zero (CC0) — dedicated to the public domain. You waive all copyright and related rights to the extent permitted by law.
Private deliberations are excluded from this clause. Content in private deliberations is visible only to invited members and is not made public.
6. Public Deliberations
Ideas, votes, and comments submitted to public deliberations are visible to all users. This transparency is fundamental to democratic decision-making. Consider this before submitting sensitive information.
7. Privacy and Anti-Data Policy
We operate an explicit anti-data policy. We do not collect IP addresses, location data, device fingerprints, or browsing behavior. See our Privacy Policy for full details on what we do and do not collect.
8. Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. You may delete your account at any time through your account settings.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, freedom from errors, or specific outcomes from deliberations.
10. Limitation of Liability
Unity Chant shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service.
11. Changes to Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
