Terms of Use

Last updated: [DATE]. By using Porchlight you agree to these terms. Porchlight is run by [YOUR NAME OR GROUP]. Contact: [YOUR CONTACT EMAIL].

House rules

• Only share work that is your own, or that you have permission to share.

Your work

You keep ownership of what you make. You give Porchlight permission to store it and show previews of it to other members, and, when you accept a request, to share your original with that one collaborator. A finished piece is credited to both people. The owner of the original decides whether a finished piece may be shared publicly.

Collaborations

Collaborations are between members. We are not responsible for what members agree between themselves after they exchange contact details. Be careful with anyone you meet online.

No guarantees

Porchlight is provided "as is". We try to keep it running and safe but cannot promise it will always be available or that every inappropriate item will be caught.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time from the site menu. We can suspend or close accounts that break these terms.
