User Accounts and Registration

To fully access and utilize the features of the Raview platform, you are required to create a user account. By registering for an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your password, and for any activity that occurs under your account. In the event of unauthorized access or use of your account, you must notify Raview immediately. It is prohibited to use another user's account without explicit permission. You acknowledge that Raview reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account if any information provided during registration is false, misleading, or violates these terms. Raview may also suspend or terminate accounts that are inactive for an extended period. You must be of legal age to use the platform, and if you are under the age of 13, you are not permitted to create an account on Raview. By registering for an account, you agree to abide by all applicable laws and regulations and to only use the platform for lawful purposes.

User Content

Raview enables users to contribute their own content, including textual reviews, images, and videos, to the platform. You retain ownership of the content you upload, but by sharing it on Raview, you grant the platform a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and display your content for the purpose of operating and promoting the platform. You are solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of the content you upload. It is strictly prohibited to upload content that infringes upon the intellectual property rights of others, is defamatory, violates privacy rights, contains hate speech, or is otherwise illegal or harmful. Raview reserves the right to remove or modify any content that violates these guidelines, and may also suspend or terminate accounts of users who repeatedly infringe upon others' rights or post prohibited content. While Raview strives to maintain the integrity of the platform, you acknowledge that the platform cannot guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or quality of user-generated content, and you engage with such content at your own risk.

Privacy and Data Collection

At Raview, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. By using the Raview platform, you acknowledge and consent to the collection, storage, and use of your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. This may include information such as your name, email address, profile picture, and other details you provide during registration or while using the platform. We also collect technical information such as device information, IP addresses, and usage data to improve the functionality and performance of Raview. Additionally, we may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and collect usage analytics. Please review our Privacy Policy to understand how your data is used, shared, and secured. You have the option to adjust your privacy settings within the platform to control the visibility of your content and personal information. It's important to note that while we implement security measures to safeguard your data, no online platform is completely immune to security breaches, and you acknowledge this risk when using Raview.

Moderation and Content Removal

Raview is committed to fostering a respectful and safe environment for all users. We employ a combination of human moderation and AI tools to ensure that user-generated content adheres to our community guidelines and policies. Our AI tools assist in identifying potentially inappropriate or harmful content, but human review is an integral part of the moderation process to make nuanced decisions. While we encourage open dialogue and diverse opinions, we reserve the right to remove, edit, or disable content that violates these terms, is harmful, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate. If you encounter content that you believe violates our guidelines, you can report it using the designated reporting mechanisms provided on the platform. Our moderation team, in collaboration with AI tools, will review reports and take appropriate action in accordance with our policies. Users who repeatedly violate our guidelines or engage in abusive behavior may face suspension or termination of their accounts. We value your feedback and encourage you to actively contribute to creating a positive and respectful community on Raview.

User Conduct and Prohibited Activities

Raview is designed to promote constructive discussions and meaningful interactions among users. By using the platform, you agree to engage with other users in a respectful and courteous manner. You are prohibited from engaging in any activities that violate these terms or disrupt the Raview community. This includes but is not limited to: posting content that is defamatory, abusive, hateful, harassing, or threatening; engaging in spam or the dissemination of false information; impersonating individuals or entities; participating in any illegal activities; and violating the intellectual property rights of others. You also agree not to interfere with the functionality of the platform, engage in unauthorized data collection, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' accounts. Raview reserves the right to take appropriate action against users who violate these guidelines, including content removal, account suspension, or termination. We encourage you to contribute positively to the platform and report any violations you encounter, helping us maintain a vibrant and respectful community.
Additionally, when interacting with AI mascots on the Raview platform, we expect users to treat them with the same respect and courtesy as they would with other users. While AI mascots can provide engaging and informative interactions, they are not a substitute for human interactions. Any abuse, harassment, or malicious behavior directed toward AI mascots is strictly prohibited and may result in account suspension or termination. Please keep in mind that AI mascots are designed to enhance your experience on Raview and provide helpful assistance, but they are not intended to replace the responsibilities and decisions of human moderators. We appreciate your cooperation in creating a positive and inclusive environment for all interactions, whether with AI mascots or other users. Please note that while interacting with AI mascots or AI-generated content, such as that powered by technologies like ChatGPT, there may be instances where inaccuracies or errors occur. AI technologies, while advanced, may produce inaccurate information about people, places, or facts. Users should exercise critical thinking and verify information whenever necessary. Raview is committed to continually improving the accuracy and reliability of AI interactions, but we cannot guarantee that all information provided by AI is completely error-free. Your feedback on such interactions is valuable and helps us enhance the quality of user experiences.

Intellectual Property Rights

Raview respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same. By using the platform, you affirm that you have the right to post the content you share and that your content does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. You retain ownership of the content you upload to Raview, but by sharing it on the platform, you grant Raview a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and display your content for the purpose of operating and promoting the platform. Content posted on Raview, whether created by you or other users, cannot be used or reproduced without the written permission of either Raview or the respective user, as applicable. If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been violated by content on Raview, you can submit a formal notice as outlined in our Intellectual Property Policy. Raview may take appropriate action, including removing infringing content and, in certain cases, suspending or terminating accounts of repeat infringers. Similarly, if you believe your own content has been wrongfully removed, you can follow our content removal appeal process. It's important to respect the intellectual property rights of others while contributing to the Raview community.

Raview may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes in the platform, legal requirements, or feedback from users. Any modifications to the TOS will be posted on the Raview website or communicated through the platform. It is your responsibility to review the TOS periodically to stay informed about any changes. Your continued use of Raview after the effective date of any modifications indicates your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with the updated TOS, you may discontinue using the platform. Raview reserves the right to make changes at its sole discretion and without prior notice, but we are committed to ensuring transparency and notifying users of significant updates whenever possible.

Termination of Accounts

Raview reserves the right to suspend or terminate user accounts for violations of these Terms of Service or for engaging in activities that are harmful to the platform or other users. In the event of account suspension or termination, you may lose access to your content and account information. We will strive to provide notice and a reason for any account suspension or termination unless we believe immediate action is necessary to prevent harm to Raview or its users, or if required by law. You may also have the option to appeal the decision if you believe your account has been wrongly suspended or terminated. Raview's decision in such matters is final. It's important to adhere to the guidelines and principles outlined in these terms to ensure a positive and respectful environment for all users of the Raview community.
