Publication of content by users

By uploading content to Cathopic you authorize us to make versions of it publicly available to anyone through any media and remember that others can do the same.

The content you submit to Cathopic is not confidential: Cathopic is a social network that shares content and images among its users and therefore it is very likely that any content you post to Cathopic will be publicly available on other Internet websites. If you are concerned that other Cathopic users, or others, may see a particular image or message or other content of yours, please do not post it.

The content you post (including images) remains yours, but you allow us to reuse and share it: remember that, by submitting and posting content, you do not lose any ownership rights you may have in your content. However, you authorize us to share this content with anyone, distribute it on any platform and in any media, and make any modifications or edits we deem appropriate (for example, for clarity or optimization purposes), even when you close your user account. You are also authorizing and allowing others to do the same with your content. In legal language it would be: by submitting or posting content on or through Cathopic, you grant a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sub-license) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, and distribute your content in any and all media or methods of distribution (whether now existing or developed in the future). This includes making your content available to other companies, organizations or individuals who partner with Cathopic for syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication of content in other media. In addition, by uploading content to Cathopic you represent and guarantee that you have all necessary rights, power and authority to authorize us to use any content you submit. You also agree that you will not be paid any compensation for all such uses of your content.

Sharing content

We encourage you to link to, post on social media and third-party services, such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, share via email, or otherwise copy and share content you upload or from other Cathopic users that is of interest to you, but only for informational and non-commercial purposes. If you share another user's content, you may not make any modifications, and you may not remove any attribution. By posting content to any third-party service through the features and functionality of our platform, you are subject to the terms of those third-party services. If you wish to remove any content from a third-party service, you must contact that service and request removal directly from them, we cannot remove content from third party sites.

We are not a content storage service and therefore do not promise to store or make available on our platform any content that you or other users may post for any period of time. You are solely responsible for maintaining backup copies of everything you post on Cathopic.

Open platform

Cathopic is a platform to reach God through photographs and is therefore a page open to everyone and where anyone can contribute their grain of sand. The images and comments uploaded to Cathopic represent the work and opinions of many people. Given the variety of profiles we do not accept any responsibility for the views of Cathopic users, nor do we control the content to ensure its legality or accuracy.

Given the variety of profiles we cannot guarantee the reliability of any source, nor can we guarantee the accuracy, usefulness, safety or intellectual property rights of any user content, nor do we endorse any views, opinions, recommendations or advice that users may post.

These Terms, as well as any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but must always be assigned by us. We shall have no liability for any delay or failure to perform an obligation under these Terms if such delay or failure results from events beyond our reasonable control, including, but not limited to, any strike, lockout, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or curtailment of power, telecommunications or data networks or services, or the denial of an approval or license by a government agency.

If despite goodwill and attempts to reach an amicable solution it is necessary to go to court, our relationship with you will always be based on what is specified in the Legal Notice and / or these Rules of Use of the Platform. If a court of competent authority decides that any part of these terms, policies and rules is invalid, only the invalid part will cease to apply and the rest will remain in place.
