Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the services, including our various websites, email notifications, applications, and buttons, (the "Services"), and any information, text, graphics, photos or other materials uploaded, downloaded or appearing on the Services (collectively referred to as "Content"). Your access to and use of the Services are conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. By accessing or using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Basic Terms
You are responsible for your use of the Services, for any Content you post to the Services, and for any consequences thereof. The Content you submit, post, or display will be able to be viewed by other users of the Services and through third party services and websites (go to the account settings page to control who sees your Content). You should only provide Content that you are comfortable sharing with others under these Terms.
What you post may be viewed by others on the Internet instantly!
The Services that Nibbler provides are always evolving and the form and nature of the Services that Nibbler provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you. In addition, Nibbler may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally and may not be able to provide you with prior notice. We also retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time without prior notice to you.
2. Sharing
You own all of the content and information you post on Nibbler. You can also control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. However, for content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Nibbler and Chromatiqa (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
When you publish content or information publicly, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Nibbler, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Nibbler, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).

4. Ending these terms
The Terms will continue to apply until terminated by either you or Nibbler as follows.
You may end your legal agreement with Nibbler at any time for any reason by deactivating your accounts and discontinuing your use of the Services. You do not need to specifically inform Nibbler when you stop using the Services. If you stop using the Services without deactivating your accounts, your accounts may be deactivated due to prolonged inactivity under our Inactive Account Policy.
We may suspend or terminate your accounts or cease providing you with all or part of the Services at any time for any reason, including, but not limited to, if we reasonably believe: (i) you have violated these Terms or the Nibbler Rules, (ii) you create risk or possible legal exposure for us; or (iii) our provision of the Services to you is no longer commercially viable. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you by the email address associated with your account or the next time you attempt to access your account.
In all such cases, the Terms shall terminate, including, without limitation, your license to use the Services, except that the following sections shall continue to apply: 3, 4, 5, and 6.
