Terms of Use - English

1. Who and what. MATERRA is a platform for private communities. A community lives inside it: rooms, where members talk to each other; channels, where only the author posts; a section of materials; direct messages and notifications. Owner of the platform and its developer - Oleg Minkin (Argentina), contact@materra.club. By using the platform you accept these terms. A club may open at its own web address rather than the platform's; this changes nothing - the application is provided by MATERRA and these terms apply whichever address you entered through. The community you have joined is run by its author - the person or organisation who gathered it; the platform provides the space and the tools but is not a party to your relationship with them. Any arrangement between the platform and a community author is a separate contract between them, which does not concern members and does not alter these terms.

2. Eligibility. Adults only. The account is personal: access may not be transferred, sold or shared. You are responsible for everything done under your account.

3. What access grants. A personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the platform. For a member it is free of charge: the platform has no checkout of its own, takes no payments and is not an intermediary in settlements. Registration is by the community author's link. The terms of participation in a community, its price, renewal and refunds are set by the author and paid to them directly; payment questions are settled with the author, not with the platform. If a community stops operating on the platform, access to it ends; settlements with members are then the author's business - the platform received no money for participation and refunds none. Members are warned of a community closing as soon as it becomes known.

4. Rules. Prohibited: aggression, insults, discrimination, harassment, pressure, manipulation; advertising, self-promotion, audience-building in other people's communities; other people's material you have no right to post, and unlawful content; taking a private community's conversations and materials outside - forwarding, publishing, quoting, screenshots; hacking, scraping, circumventing access restrictions. A community author may set additional rules of conduct inside it; they apply on top of these terms and do not override them. The ban on taking conversations outside does not stop you showing them where needed to defend your rights: to a lawyer, a doctor, or a public authority.

5. Your content. Rights stay with you: the platform does not become their owner and does not use your messages or files for anything else. By posting them you allow them to be stored and shown to members of the room you posted them in, solely to operate the platform, and you confirm you are entitled to post them.

6. Community materials. Texts, audio, video and other materials posted in a community belong to its author or their licensors. They may not be copied, distributed, resold or used outside the platform without written permission. The design, calculations and code of the platform itself belong to its owner. If you believe something on the platform infringes your rights or the law, write to contact@materra.club stating what it is, where it is and how it infringes. You get an answer within 5 working days and, where the complaint is well founded, the material is removed. Whoever posted it is told of the decision and may contest it by the same email.

7. Nature of the content. The author of a community is answerable for what happens and is published inside it; the platform does not vet materials in advance and does not endorse them. The materials and conversations are informational, cultural and creative in nature and are not a medical, psychological, psychotherapeutic, religious or educational service, diagnosis or therapy. Decisions taken on their basis are made by the participant independently and at their own responsibility.

8. Availability. The platform is provided "as is". It is kept in working order, but continuous and error-free operation is not warranted: maintenance, updates and changes to features are possible.

9. Liability. To the extent permitted by law, the owner of the platform is not liable for indirect losses or lost profit, nor for the acts of community authors and other members. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law or affects your consumer rights. Participation is free of charge, so direct liability of the platform's owner towards a member never exceeds the amount received from that member.

10. Termination. You may delete your account at any time. Access may be suspended or terminated for breach of these terms; you are told by email, with the reason and, where the breach can be cured, a period to cure it. In serious cases - a threat to security, unlawful content, harm to other members - access closes at once and the email follows. The decision may be contested by writing to contact@materra.club, answered within 5 working days. Your messages and files are not deleted on suspension, and a copy of your data may be requested. A community author may close your access to their community under their own rules; this does not affect your platform account.

11. Governing law. These terms are governed by the law of Argentina, where the owner of the platform resides. If you are a consumer, you keep the rights and protections of the law of your country of residence. A dispute is first to be settled by correspondence: write to contact@materra.club, answered within 30 days.

12. Changes. The date above is the current revision; material changes are announced inside the app, and continued use means acceptance.
