If you submit ideas, suggestions, or feedback to us, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use that feedback without restriction or compensation to you.

You retain ownership of content you submit to our platforms (e.g. gig listings, reviews, profile information). By submitting content, you grant Cosbyte a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, store, display, and distribute that content as necessary to operate the platform.

You represent that you have the right to submit the content and that it does not violate any third party's rights. We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms or our community guidelines.

9 Disclaimer of Warranties

Our services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that our services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information provided through our platforms.

As we are in an early stage of product development, some features may be incomplete, subject to change, or temporarily unavailable.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimer of warranties, limitation of liability, and governing law) will continue to apply.
