Even though you may feel that reading the Terms of Use of a service like the Ello Services is a boring waste of time, we highly recommend that you read Ello’s Terms of Use (“Terms”). The Terms are a contract between you and Ello, PBC (“Ello”, “us”, “we”), which is applicable when you use our web sites (including [www.ello.co](https://www.ello.co)), services, mobile applications, products, and content provided by Ello, globally, in existence now or in the future, forever and ever (“Ello Services” or “Service”).

By accessing or using the Ello Services (whether or not you create a member account), you agree to be bound to the Terms. That means that if you don’t agree to these Terms, please don’t use the Ello Services. Additionally, you must abide by our Rules, which are found here: [[link to Rules](/wtf/policies/rules/)], and are incorporated into the Terms. Please read the Rules, which include important rules and guidelines governing the behavior we expect of Ello Services users, as well as the actions we may take if you do not follow the Rules.

Ello may update these Terms from time to time. We will let you know if we make significant changes by sending a notice to the email address connected with your Ello Services account, or by placing a notice in a prominent place on our web site. If we make a significant change, the notice we provide will indicate when the change will be effective. If you do not agree with the upcoming change, please delete your account. If you continue to use the Ello Services after the stated effective date, you will be deemed to have accepted the change.

To be eligible to use the Ello Services, you must be at least 13 years old, you must be old enough to enter into a contract with Ello, and you must have a valid email address. You must create an account to post content on the Ello Services and to access other features offered only to account holders. We require an email address, password and a username, which may or may not be your real name.

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Services and for any activities or actions under your password. Ello cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above.

You must provide an email address that is actually yours. When you sign up to become an Ello Services member, you will also be asked to choose a username and a password. Usernames are allocated on a first come, first serve basis. Ello reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (a) refuse to issue a particular username, or (b) remove or reclaim any username. For instance, we may refuse to issue a username or reclaim a username if a third party that owns a trademark complains that a username violates that third party’s intellectual property rights, or if we determine that such user name impersonates someone else, misappropriates a person’s right of publicity, is illegal, or offensive. Your username is how you will be publicly identified, along with any photo you associate with your account.

## You Have Choices

While Ello is constantly evolving and we expect new features, functions and settings to be introduced regularly, you can always go to “Settings” to customize your Ello Services experience. For instance, you can choose whether your profile is publicly accessible outside of the Ello Services and whether to allow other users to comment on your posts.

Soon, we will provide more settings, such as the ability to designate your Ello Services profile as “Not Suitable for Work,” or NSFW, which we’d like you to do if you will or may have sexually explicit content.

## When You Post on the Ello Services

We don’t claim ownership over any Content that you post on the Ello Services. “Content” means any content or creative expression that you’re able to upload or post on the Ello Services, including text, images, files, animations, logos, comments, or otherwise. However, when you post or transfer Content to the Ello Services, you give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, world-wide, perpetual, transferable license to use, store, reproduce, adapt (so we can properly post your Content), distribute and publicly display your Content in order to provide the Ello Services.

You are responsible for the Content you submit to the Ello Services. You assume all risks associated with it, including accuracy, intellectual property claims, or any other legal rights claims. You represent and warrant that (i) you either own the Content you post, or that you have all necessary rights to post that Content on the Ello Services, (ii) your Content does not infringe any third party’s rights, and (iii) you can grant the licenses you grant in these Terms. 
When you post on the Ello Services, you are agreeing to allow other Ello Services members and members of the public (unless you set your Settings to prevent public display) to view, distribute and display your Content. Consider the Content you post on the Ello Services to be publicly available indefinitely since it may be distributed by other Ello Services members through social media or otherwise, or be cached on third party search engines, even after your Ello Services account is terminated. Be aware that it is extremely difficult to remove content from the Internet that becomes publicly available.

We reserve the right (though we have no obligation) to refuse or remove any Content you post or transfer to the Ello Services for any reason.
