TERMS OF SERVICE

1. Introduction

Welcome to SuperDebate. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website, services, and applications. By accessing or using the SuperDebate platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

2. Definitions

"Platform" refers to the SuperDebate website, applications, and services.
"User" refers to individuals who access or use the Platform.
"Content" refers to all text, images, videos, or other material uploaded to or displayed on the Platform.

3. Account Registration

To access certain features of the Platform, you may need to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process.

4. User Conduct

As a User of the Platform, you agree to:

• Use the Platform in accordance with these Terms and applicable laws
• Engage respectfully with other users during debates
• Not post content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable
• Not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Platform
• Not use the Platform for any commercial purposes without prior written consent

5. Content

You retain ownership of any Content you submit to the Platform. By submitting Content, you grant SuperDebate a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, and distribute such Content for the purpose of providing and promoting the Platform.

Self-service video posting initially accepts videos from people aged 18 or older, featuring only the uploader. You must have the rights to the clip and confirm permission to upload it, process it and publish it with your name and profile. These confirmations do not replace anyone else’s permission to appear in a recording.

For self-service clips, the license above is limited to storing, processing and displaying your chosen post on SuperDebate. Separate advertising use requires a separate release. Removing your take ends new access through SuperDebate; previously issued viewing links may work briefly, and copies others have already saved cannot be recalled. Reading lessons and practicing privately on your own device do not require permission to publish a video.

Before joining a room that allows recording or broadcasting, each speaker must confirm that they are an adult and separately allow recording and public presentation on SuperDebate’s website and streaming channels, including a replay with their name and profile. Keep other people off your camera and microphone. Accepting round rules, claiming a seat or granting browser camera access does not grant these permissions. You can withdraw permission below the call; this disconnects you, ends the recorded room and blocks new replay links while provider closure and deletion are confirmed. Previously issued links remain subject to their expiry, and copies others have saved cannot be recalled. Separate advertising use requires a separate release.

SuperDebate reserves the right to remove any Content that violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable.

6. Intellectual Property

The Platform and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by SuperDebate and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on our Platform without express written consent.

7. Privacy

Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.

8. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Platform at our sole discretion, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other Users or us.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Platform is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Platform will be error-free or uninterrupted.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SuperDebate shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of or inability to use the Platform.

11. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of significant changes by posting the updated Terms on the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform after such changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
