Terms of use

1. Scope and eligibility

These rules apply to I Need You’s publishing and collaboration features. Users of these features must have reached the applicable age of majority where they live and be able to enter contracts. Anyone representing a team or organization must be authorized. The platform does not currently verify age or identity. Visitors can browse public content without signing in.

Actively confirm the current terms when publishing or proposing. Confirm the current version before messaging, advancing a collaboration or viewing proposal contact details. We record the account, version, interface language, confirmation entry point and server time. A new version requires renewed confirmation; signing in or browsing is not agreement. Profile completion and optional email notifications are not conditions of using the site.

2. Truthful, lawful and authorized content

Describe identity, resources, abilities, availability and terms truthfully. Share only work, images and information you are entitled to use and disclose. Do not place others’ private or confidential information in public listings. You retain your content rights and permit the processing necessary to display, communicate, store and protect that content and provide related features.

Fraud, impersonation, false verification claims, spam, harassment, threats, discrimination, infringement, illegal goods or services, account theft, scraping private information and disruption are prohibited. Do not use the platform to solicit investments, promise financial returns or recruit participants in unlawful money schemes.

3. Collaboration arrangements and records

The platform only provides information and contact tools. It does not participate in user transactions or provide identity verification, payment processing, escrow or collaboration guarantees, and does not guarantee payment, delivery or refunds. Participants agree and perform their own collaborations. This does not exclude responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Participants verify each other and agree their own payment, delivery, intellectual-property and dispute terms. Statuses such as “open to a conversation,” “in progress” and “completed” are collaboration records; they do not replace necessary agreements or create a platform guarantee of performance or payment.

Protect your account and update or close outdated listings. Keep your own copies of important records instead of relying only on messages or drafts here. Continuous availability cannot be guaranteed, without limiting obligations required by law.

4. Free access and commercial promotion

Platform access is currently free and no collaboration commission is charged. Participants are responsible for fees or compensation they agree between themselves. It currently operates as a personal community-benefit project without advertising or paid promotion. Any future move to commercial operation, including following an acquisition or investment, will be explained in advance with updated terms and any legally required consent. Charges, marketing emails or new data sharing will not be enabled automatically.

If paid services are introduced, prices and terms will be disclosed before purchase and appropriate agreement obtained. Past free use will not automatically create a charge.

5. Reports, restrictions and content handling

Report suspicious listings, profiles or messages, or use the public email for intellectual-property, privacy or safety concerns. The platform may take appropriate content or access measures to address abuse, security risks or legal requirements. A report is not itself a finding of wrongdoing, and the platform cannot promise to detect every unlawful act.

You can contact the operator with necessary information to request review of a decision. Avoid unrelated sensitive information in reports. The platform is not an arbitrator or law-enforcement authority. Use appropriate payment-dispute, court or regulatory channels when necessary.

6. Responsibility, law and changes

Read the disclaimer and privacy notice alongside these rules. These terms do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, waive access to courts or regulators, or require arbitration or a waiver of class proceedings.

Subject to mandatory protections and jurisdiction rules available to you, these terms are governed by British Columbia law and applicable Canadian federal law. Updates will carry a version and date. Material changes will receive additional notice and renewed agreement where required by law, without retroactively removing accrued rights.
