Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") apply to your access to and use of SaucePls, including its website, accounts, and community features (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using it, you confirm that you meet this requirement. The Service may not verify your age, and you must not use it if you are under 18.

2. Accounts

Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate account information, keep your sign-in methods secure, and promptly tell us if you believe someone else has accessed your account. You are responsible for activity carried out through your account, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

You may not impersonate another person, claim a username or identity you are not entitled to use, or create accounts to evade restrictions.

3. Your content

The Service lets you submit image requests, images, descriptions, answers and source links, tags, comments, profile information, and other material (collectively, "User Content"). You retain any rights you have in your User Content.

You are responsible for your User Content. You may submit it only if you have the rights, permissions, and legal basis needed to share it and to grant the license below. Do not upload or post material that violates another person's rights or applicable law.

To operate the Service, you grant SaucePls a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt as needed for technical purposes, analyze, display, and distribute your User Content through the Service. This includes making published content available to other users and sending relevant content to service providers that help provide features such as image-source search, text recognition, and tag or rating suggestions. The license lasts while your content is available through the Service and for a reasonable period afterward where copies remain in backups, provider systems, or records maintained for legitimate operational or legal purposes.

Published requests, profiles, answers, comments, tags, and related activity may be publicly viewable. Draft requests are restricted to their owner until publication. Do not include information in content you choose to publish that you do not want others to see. Removing content from the Service may not remove copies already viewed, shared, indexed, retained by a provider, or preserved in backups.

4. Rules for using the Service

You agree not to use the Service to:

• violate the law or another person's rights, including intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights;
• post unlawful, exploitative, threatening, harassing, deceptive, or otherwise abusive material;
• submit realistic sexual content involving anyone under 18, non-consensual intimate imagery, or content that depicts or promotes exploitation or abuse;
• distribute malware, spam, or content intended to disrupt or compromise the Service or its users;
• interfere with the Service, evade reasonable usage limits, or access accounts or systems without authorization; or
• misrepresent the source, ownership, or accuracy of content or information you submit.

You must not use the Service in a way that could harm other users or prevent them from using it.

5. Image processing and third-party services

SaucePls may process submitted images to create web-friendly copies and provide features such as candidate source matches, text recognition, and tag or content-rating suggestions. Depending on the feature, images or related information may be sent to independent providers, including SauceNAO, OCR.space, or a tag-inference provider. Those providers operate under their own terms and policies, and their availability, limits, processing, and results are outside SaucePls's control.

Automated matches, extracted text, tags, and content ratings are suggestions only. They may be incomplete, inaccurate, or inappropriate. You are responsible for reviewing information before relying on or republishing it.

Content ratings and controls for hiding mature content are not guarantees that all mature material will be identified or hidden. A preference to hide such content may not prevent access through a direct link or other parts of the Service.

6. Community content and moderation

Other users may contribute answers, comments, tags, and other material. Their views and submissions are their own and are not necessarily endorsed by SaucePls. Use your judgment when relying on user-submitted information or interacting with other users.

SaucePls may review, restrict, or remove User Content, or limit or end access to the Service, when we consider it necessary to protect users, enforce these Terms, respond to a rights or safety concern, or comply with law. We do not guarantee that all content will be reviewed or removed. You can delete some of your own submissions using available features; deletion may not erase related records or copies held elsewhere. The Service does not currently provide self-service account deletion.

7. Copyright and other rights complaints

If you believe material on SaucePls infringes your copyright or other rights, contact ionvop@gmail.com. Include enough information for us to identify the material and understand your claim, such as the location of the material, a description of the work or right involved, your contact details, and why you believe the use is unauthorized. Do not include sensitive personal information that is not needed to review the report.

We may request additional information and may remove or restrict access to material in response to a report. A report does not guarantee removal, and we may share relevant information with the person who submitted the material where appropriate.

8. Third-party links and optional support

The Service may link to third-party websites or services. SaucePls does not control and is not responsible for their content, terms, privacy practices, or availability. Any optional contribution through an external support service is handled by that provider under its terms and does not purchase a particular feature or service level unless expressly stated.

9. Availability and disclaimers

The Service and User Content are provided on an "as available" basis. To the extent permitted by law, SaucePls makes no warranties that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that any source match, answer, tag, or other result will be accurate or useful. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SaucePls and the people operating it will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss, or for loss of data, profits, goodwill, or opportunity arising from or related to your use of the Service. To the extent liability cannot be excluded, it will be limited to the amount permitted by applicable law. These Terms do not limit liability where such a limitation is prohibited by law.

11. Changes or discontinuation

The Service or any feature may change, be suspended, or be discontinued. We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on this page. Your continued use after updated Terms are posted means you accept them, to the extent permitted by law. If you do not agree to a change, stop using the Service.
