The Aurora reserves the right to change, redact, and delete content on the Forum for any reason. If you believe someone has submitted content to the Forum in violation of these Terms and Conditions, contact us immediately.

Your Account

You must create and log into an account to use some features of the Forum.

To create an account, you must provide some information about yourself. If you create an account, you agree to provide, at a minimum, a valid e-mail address, and to keep that address up-to-date. You may close your account at any time by e-mailing support@aurora.dev.

You agree to be responsible for all actions taken using your account, whether authorized by you or not, until you either close your account or notify the Aurora that your account has been compromised. You agree to notify the Aurora immediately if you suspect your account has been compromised. You agree to select a secure password for your account, and keep it secret.

The Aurora may restrict, suspend, or close your account on the Forum according to its policy for handling copyright-related takedown requests, or if the Aurora reasonably believes that you’ve broken any rule in these Terms and Conditions.

Your Content

The Forum allows you to create, submit, post, display, transmit, perform, publish and distribute content and materials to us or on the Forum, including text, writings, video, audio, photographs, graphics, comments, suggestions, personal information, or other material (collectively, “Contributions” or “Content”). Contributions may be viewable by other users of the Forum and through third-party websites.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions gives the Aurora any ownership rights in intellectual property that you share with the Forum, such as your account information, posts, or other content you submit to the Forum. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions gives you any ownership rights in the Aurora’s intellectual property, either.

Between you and the Aurora, you remain solely responsible for content you submit to the Forum. You agree not to wrongly imply that content you submit to the Forum is sponsored or approved by the Aurora. These Terms and Conditions do not obligate the Aurora to store, maintain, or provide copies of content you submit, and to change it, according to these Terms and Conditions.

Content you submit to the Forum belongs to you, and you decide what permission to give others for it. But at a minimum, you license the Aurora to provide content that you submit to the Forum to other users of the Forum. That special license allows the Aurora to copy, publish, and analyze content you submit to the Forum.

When content you submit is removed from the Forum, whether by you or by the Aurora, the Aurora’s special license ends when the last copy disappears from the Aurora’s backups, caches, and other systems. Other licenses you apply to content you submit, such as Creative Commons licenses, may continue after your content is removed. Those licenses may give others, or the Aurora itself, the right to share your content through the Forum again.

Others who receive content you submit to the Forum may violate the terms on which you license your content. You agree that the Aurora will not be liable to you for those violations or their consequences.

Any contributions will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary.

Content Standards

In your contributions, you may not:

  1. submit content to the Forum that is illegal, offensive, or otherwise harmful to others. This includes content that is harassing, inappropriate, or abusive;
  2. submit content to the Forum that violates the law, infringes anyone’s intellectual property rights, violates anyone’s privacy, or breaches agreements you have with others;
  3. submit content to the Forum containing malicious computer code, such as computer viruses or spyware;
  4. submit content to the Forum as a mere placeholder to hold a particular address, user name, or another unique identifier;
  5. submit obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, violent, harassing, libellous, slanderous, or otherwise objectionable content;
  6. harass or threaten (in the legal sense of those terms) any other person and promote violence against a specific person or class of people;
  7. use the Forum to disclose information that you don’t have the right to disclose, like others’ confidential or personal information;

Your Responsibility

You agree to indemnify the Aurora from legal claims by others related to your breach of these Terms and Conditions or breach of these Terms and Conditions by others using your account on the Forum. Both you and the Aurora agree to notify the other side of any legal claims for which you might have to indemnify the Aurora as soon as possible. If the Aurora fails to inform you of a legal claim promptly, you won’t have to indemnify the Aurora for damages that you could have defended against or mitigated with prompt notice. You agree to allow the Aurora to control the investigation, defence, and settlement of legal claims for which you would have to indemnify the Aurora and cooperate with those efforts. The Aurora agrees not to agree to any settlement that admits fault for you or imposes obligations on you without your prior agreement.

Disclaimers

You accept all risks of using the Forum and the content on the Forum. As far as the law allows, the Aurora provides the Forum as is, without any warranty whatsoever.

The Forum may hyperlink to and integrate forums and services run by others. The Aurora does not make any warranty about services run by others or the content they may provide. Use of services run by others may be governed by other terms between you and the one running the service.

Limits on Liability

YOU AGREE THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL AURORA BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONTENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INACCURACIES, ERRORS OR OMISSIONS, ANY CONTENT THAT IS OBJECTIONABLE IN ANY WAY, INCLUDING ANYTHING OFFENSIVE, INDECENT, DEFAMATORY, OR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE INCCURED AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE, RELIANCE, READING, OR VIEWING OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, EMAILED, TRANSMITTED, STORED OR OTHERWISE ACCESSED OR MADE AVAILABLE OR KNOWN TO YOU ON THE FORUM.

Feedback

The Aurora welcomes your feedback and suggestions for the Forum. See the Contact section below for ways to get in touch with us.

You agree that the Aurora will be free to act on feedback and suggestions you provide and that the Aurora won’t have to notify you that your feedback was used, get your permission to use it, or pay you. You agree not to submit feedback or suggestions that you believe might be confidential or proprietary to you or others.

Termination

At its sole discretion and without prior notice or liability, either you or the Aurora may end the agreement written out in these Terms and Conditions at any time. When our agreement ends, your permission to use the Forum also terminates.

The following provisions survive the end of our agreement: Your Content, Feedback, Your Responsibility, Disclaimers, Limits on Liability, and General Terms.

If we terminate or suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party. In addition to terminating or suspending your account, we reserve the right to take appropriate legal action, including pursuing civil, criminal, and injunctive redress without limitation.

Disputes

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to these Terms and Conditions of the Forum (each “Dispute” and collectively. the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree first to attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating the arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Part.

The law of the British Virgin Islands will govern any dispute related to these Terms and Conditions or your use of the Forum.

You and the company agree to seek injunctions related to these Terms and Conditionsonly in the state court in the British Virgin Islands. Neither you nor the company will object to jurisdiction, Forum, or venue in those courts.

Any arbitration award will include costs of the arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs for witnesses. You and the company may enter arbitration awards in any court with jurisdiction.

General Terms

If a provision of the Terms and Conditions of the Forum is unenforceable as written, but could be changed to make it enforceable, that provision should be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. Otherwise, that provision should be removed.

You may not assign your rights under these Terms and Conditions of the Forum with Aurora. Aurora may assign these Terms and Conditions of the Forum to any affiliate of the company, any other company that obtains control of the company, or any other company that buys assets of the company related to the forum. Any attempted assignment against these terms has no legal effect.

Neither the exercise of any right under these Terms and Conditions of Forum, nor waiver of any breach of these Terms and Conditions of the Forum, waives any other breach of these Terms and Conditions of the Forum.

These Terms and Conditions entirely replace any other agreements about your use of the Forum, written or not.
