5. User-Generated Content & Intellectual Property
You retain ownership of your content (posts, comments, media) but grant Diasporah a worldwide, non-exclusive license to use, display, and distribute that content across the Platform. Always remain respectful of other users’ privacy and intellectual property.
6. Content Moderation & Termination
Diasporah reserves the right to remove content and suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms or abuse of community features—such as elections, messaging, or family trees. Users may also delete their own accounts at any time.

Some features on Diasporah (like voting, event creation, or accessing the library) require paid membership. Payment terms are governed by our Billing Terms and handled through secure third-party services. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law.
9. Third-Party Services & Integrations
Diasporah may integrate with third-party services (e.g., Facebook, Apple, Google) for sign-in, sharing, or analytics. Use of these features is governed both by our Terms and the terms of those third parties.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available,” without any warranties. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Use of Diasporah is at your own risk.
