The User warrants that they will not:
(a) select or use as a username the name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person;
(b) use as a username a name subject to the Intellectual Property Rights of third parties without appropriate permission;
(c) use as a username a name that we reasonably consider offensive, vulgar, obscene, or otherwise contrary to the law, good faith, ethics, or morality.

This means you are responsible for keeping your Account data secure and must notify us of any unauthorized use of your Account. When registering, you agree to use a username that you have the right to use and that does not infringe the rights of third parties.
We may refuse to register an Account, or delete or block a User's Account, at our sole discretion and for any reason (including, without limitation, upon receiving demands or claims from third parties or competent authorities that User Content violates applicable law and/or the rights of third parties, or if we believe the User has breached the Agreement or applicable law).
We may block any Account that appears suspicious to us and request that the User provide evidence of their good faith. In that case, the Account may be unblocked only after sufficient evidence of the User's good faith has been provided and thoroughly verified.
User Content. The User is solely and fully responsible for all User Content. This means that you, not mave, are fully responsible for all User Content that you create, upload, publish, email, or otherwise distribute or transmit through our Services.
You represent, warrant, and undertake that:

1. you are the owner of the information and/or hold all Intellectual Property Rights in the User Content, where the User Content is or contains a result of intellectual activity;
2. you will not use the Services for or in connection with any activity that violates applicable law, including, without limitation, laws on the protection of intellectual property, confidential information, and personal data; and
3. in using the Services and/or uploading User Content, you fully comply with the rules on prohibited conduct (set out below).

We do not pre-screen User Content and do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, integrity, truthfulness, legality, or quality of User Content. We are not responsible if Content provided by Users on the mave Platform, on or through our Services, contains inaccurate, unlawful, incomplete, false, offensive, obscene, explicit, or objectionable material. If User Content contains explicit content (including, without limitation, profanity), the User must indicate this in the podcast settings when creating the Podcast, or in the Podcast settings under "Settings" when using the Service. The User understands, accepts, and agrees to the risks associated with placing explicit content and is solely responsible for doing so.
The User acknowledges and bears all risks associated with the use or consumption of any User Content available through the Services, including where placing or using such Content violates applicable law and/or the rights of third parties. Under no circumstances are we liable for User Content, including, without limitation, any errors in User Content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the creation, placement, or other use of User Content.
When uploading Content, the User agrees to follow the instructions provided when using the Services. We may convert audio files uploaded by the User from .m4a to .mp3 format for distribution to all third-party resources selected by the User and available through our Services, and may optimize the bitrate of uploaded audio files to 128 kbps.
The User may delete any Content they have uploaded. In that case, we retain the User Content for 48 hours after deletion so that podcast listening platforms can update their information. After 48 hours, the deleted Content is removed from our servers and cannot be restored.
We do not guarantee that User Content will be available on the mave Platform and for all Services. The User agrees that we may establish general rules and limits regarding the use of the Services, including, without limitation, the maximum period for which User Content will be stored in the Services and/or on our servers. The User agrees that we are not liable for the deletion of, or failure to store, any User Content maintained or uploaded using the Services.
We may delete or block any User Content at our sole discretion, at any time and for any reason (including, without limitation, upon receiving demands or claims from third parties or competent authorities that User Content violates applicable law and/or the rights of third parties, or if we believe the User has breached the Agreement or applicable law).
Communications with the User. By registering an Account, the User agrees to receive messages from us at the email address provided during registration.
Such messages may be needed to confirm registration or to service or maintain the Account, may be required by law, or may be sent to the User for informational, promotional, or other purposes. The User may opt out of informational, promotional, or other non-essential messages by changing the relevant settings in their Account under "Manage subscription" or by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in the email itself.
The User may opt out of messages that may be required by law and messages needed to confirm registration or to service or maintain the Account by sending us a notice stating their full name, username, and email address. However, if the User opts out in this way, we may terminate the User's right to use the Services.
