Our Services are offered subject to your acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies (including, without limitation, Tiki.org's Privacy Policy) and procedures that may be published from time to time by the Tiki Association (collectively, the "Agreement"). You agree that we may automatically upgrade our Services, and these Terms will apply to any upgrades.

"We" refers to the Tiki Software Community Association, or “the Tiki Association”, throughout this agreement.

Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing or using our Services. By accessing or using any part of our Services, you agree to become bound by the Terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to all the Terms of this Agreement, then you may not access or use any of our Services. If these Terms are considered an offer by the Tiki Association, acceptance is expressly limited to these Terms.

Our Services are not intended for children. Access to and use of our Services is reserved for those over the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Union). If you are younger than this, you are not allowed to register for or use our Services. Any person who registers as a user or provides their personal information to our Services represents that they are 13 years of age or older (16 years or older in the European Union).

Tiki.org

  • Your Tiki.org Account and Content. If you create content on Tiki.org such as a wiki page, or a post in a blog, a forum post, a comment, upload file, etc., then, to the extent that is possible as a user of the Services, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and that content, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with it. You must immediately notify the Tiki Association of any unauthorized uses of your account, or any other breaches of security. The Tiki Association will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.
  • Responsibility of Contributors. If you author a wiki page, or a blog post, or post in the forums, comment on a blog, post any material to Tiki.org, post links on Tiki.org, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available (any such material, "Content"), you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content or your conduct. That is the case regardless of what form the Content takes, which includes, but is not limited to text, photo, video, audio, or code. By using Tiki.org, you represent and warrant that your Content and conduct do not violate these Terms. By submitting Content to the Tiki Association for inclusion on Tiki.org or its subdomains, you grant the Tiki Association a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content under the CC BY-SA 2.5 unless stated otherwise. This license allows the Tiki Association to make publicly-posted content available to third parties. If you submit a request to delete Content, which you may or may not have submitted accidentally and which you cannot remove yourself, the Tiki Association will use reasonable efforts to remove it from Tiki.org for you, but you acknowledge that caching or references to the Content may not be made immediately unavailable. Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, the Tiki Association has the right (though not the obligation) to, in the Tiki Association’s sole discretion, (i) reclaim your username due to prolonged inactivity, (ii) refuse or remove any content that, in the Tiki Association’s reasonable opinion, violates any Tiki Association policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or (iii) terminate or deny access to and use of Tiki.org to any individual or entity for any reason.
