6. Content Ownership
You retain ownership of content you create.
By using Swervx, you grant a limited license for Swervx to store, process, and transmit your content as required to operate the Service.
Swervx does not claim ownership of your content.
7. Community Moderation
Swervx operates on two levels:
Platform Enforcement
Swervx enforces: illegal content, harassment, discrimination, doxxing, and stalking.
Swerve-Level Moderation
Each Swerve owner may create rules, assign roles, and moderate content. Swervx is not responsible for individual Swerve policies beyond platform rules.
8. Enforcement Actions
Swervx may take action, including:
- Content removal
- Temporary suspension
- Permanent account termination
Actions may be taken without prior notice for serious violations. Where possible, Swervx will provide the reason for action and applicable rule. No guarantee of warning is provided.
9. File Storage & Data Retention
Storage is tier-based (Free, Pro, Max, add-ons) and subject to limits.
If storage exceeds allocated limits:
- As a courtesy, a grace period of up to 90 days may be provided to allow the community to resolve the shortfall
- During the grace period, affected swerve administrators will be notified
- After the grace period expires, content may be removed oldest-first until usage fits the available pool
- The grace period is a courtesy, not a guarantee — Swervx may adjust or waive it at its discretion
Swervx is not responsible for data loss due to user actions, storage limits, account termination, or grace period expiration. Users are responsible for maintaining their own backups.
10. Payments & Subscriptions
Swervx offers subscription tiers, storage add-ons, and optional AI features.
All payments are recurring unless canceled and are non-refundable unless required by law. Swervx may modify pricing with notice.
11. AI Features (Cortex)
AI features may generate content, moderate interactions, and provide suggestions.
You acknowledge that AI output may be inaccurate and AI decisions are not final authority. Users remain responsible for all actions and content.
12. Availability
Swervx is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not guarantee uptime, performance, or error-free operation.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Swervx shall not be liable for indirect damages, loss of data, loss of revenue, or user interactions. Use the Service at your own risk.
14. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. Swervx may terminate accounts for violations of these Terms, risk to platform integrity, or legal requirements.
15. Changes to Terms
Swervx may update these Terms. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance.
16. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
Swervx is built on the principle that everyone is welcome, but respect is required. These Terms exist to protect that standard.
