By accessing or using Squids (squids.gg) ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service. We may update these terms from time to time and will notify you of material changes by posting the updated terms on this page with a revised date.

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By using Squids, you represent and warrant that you are at least 16 years of age.

3. Accounts

You may sign up using one of the authentication methods we make available, such as Discord. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorised use.

4. User Content

You retain ownership of any content you upload to Squids, including video clips, comments, and community posts ("User Content").

This includes the right to feature your content in promotional materials, social media, and on our website.

You represent that you have the right to upload any content you submit and that it does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any third party.

When you delete your User Content or your account, we will remove your content from the Service within a reasonable timeframe. However, you acknowledge that cached or archived copies may not be immediately removed, and that content shared or redistributed by other users prior to deletion may remain available. The licence granted above terminates when your content is fully removed from our systems.
