You agree not to:

1. User Content

This includes reviews, comments, discussions, feedback, and other contributions not intended for commercial publication. By submitting User Content, you grant QB Technologies AG a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, display, publish, perform, transmit, reproduce, distribute, index, and otherwise use such content in connection with the operation, promotion, and improvement of the Platform and its services. This license is broad and unrestricted to allow Quibble to use User Content as needed for the functioning and growth of the Platform.

You are solely responsible for all content you submit and for the consequences of its publication or distribution on the Platform. We may, but are not obligated to, moderate or remove content that we believe violates our policies or applicable law.

2. Author Content

This includes manuscripts, excerpts, cover art, or any other literary or creative work uploaded for the purpose of publication, distribution, or promotion. Authors retain ownership of their works. Authors published on Quibble grant QB Technologies AG an non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and make available such works in digital formats for as long as the works are made available on the Platform. Authors may request removal of their works, in which case the license terminates once the work is removed, except that Quibble may retain archival copies for compliance, backup, and legal purposes. This license is royalty-free unless and until an author is formally accepted into Quibble’s monetization program. For published authors, the scope of this license, as well as matters such as rights management, compensation, and commercial use, will be further governed by Quibble’s forthcoming Author Terms. Once published, those Author Terms will apply and will take precedence over these Terms in the event of any conflict.
