We are happy to welcome you ("You" or "user") as a reader, editor, author, or simply someone who makes any contribution to the development of our DollsHobby.club community. However, before you start the journey through the pages of our project, we ask you to familiarize yourself with the following "Terms of Use".

Review

These Terms of Use describe the services provided by the project, our relationship with you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities we must jointly govern.

The community is a network of users who seek to constantly communicate and share their achievements within the hobby, thereby supporting and developing our Project, is the main resource through which the goal announced in our mission is achieved. The community creates the content of our site and helps to develop the project with this content and activities, such as commenting, liking and more.

You are free to join as a user, editor or author, but you must follow the rules.

Remember that you yourself are responsible for all your work, for all your edits, as well as for the reuse of project materials, in accordance with the current legislation of Ukraine and other applicable laws (which may include the laws of the country where you live or that country , where you view or edit these materials). This means that it is important to exercise caution when posting. Because of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you should not post. Most of these rules are intended either for your own protection or for the protection of other users. Please keep in mind that the materials we provide, store and publish are for general informational purposes only.

1. Our services

The main task of the project (mission) is to encourage the growth, development and distribution of free multilingual materials related to the world of the doll hobby, as well as to ensure that the full content of such materials remains publicly available, high-quality and free. Our role is to store and maintain this data, and to keep the project up and running. We operate exclusively in the field of hosting, infrastructure support and organizational environment, which allows our members to build a project by independently creating and editing content. In connection with our role, there are several points about our relationship with you, our Projects and other users that you should know:

• We do not assume an editorial role, but we do not limit ourselves to this : All materials posted on us are provided by the same users as you, and we do not assume any editorial functions, except for moderation for compliance with the rules in in case of user complaints. This means that we generally do not control or edit the content of the site, and are not responsible for that content. Likewise, we do not promote any opinions expressed through our project, nor do we represent or warrant the authenticity, accuracy, or reliability of community-generated content. Instead, we simply provide access to the materials.
• You are responsible for your own actions and posted materials : You are legally responsible for all your actions in adding and changing materials in our project, therefore, for your own safety, you should exercise caution and avoid adding any materials here that may cause criminal or administrative liability in accordance with current legislation. Let us explain that the concept of "current legislation" includes, at a minimum, the laws of Ukraine. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn authors and editors that the authorities of various countries may try to apply the laws of other countries to you, including the local laws of the country where you live, where you view or modify these materials. The project team cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or compensation in this case.

2. Privacy Policy

We ask that you familiarize yourself with the terms of our Privacy Policy so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information. Because our services are used by people around the world, the personal information we collect may be stored and processed in Ukraine, or any other country where we or our agents have equipment. By using our services, you consent to any such transfer of information outside your country.

3. Content of our projects

• You may find some material objectionable or erroneous: Because we provide a wide range of material created or collected by other users, you may come across material that you may find offensive, erroneous, misleading, misnamed, or otherwise incorrect. Therefore, we ask you to use common sense and due discretion when using our services.
• Our materials are intended for general reference.

They should not be taken as professional advice.

Although you have considerable freedom to reuse content on our site, it is important to note that we protect our trademark rights in order to protect our users from fraudulent imitations. In this regard, we strongly ask you to respect our trademarks.

7. Content Licensing

The project requires giving an unlimited circle of people broad rights to freely redistribute and use their contribution, provided that authorship and reference to the source are properly indicated (so-called "attribution"), and for any derivative works, the same freedom of reuse and dissemination. In accordance with our goal of providing free access to information to the widest possible audience, we require that all materials provided be licensed in such a way that anyone can access them and be able to freely reuse such materials, at any time, as soon as they need it. Also, in the case of copying materials from other resources, these materials must fulfill the same rights as indicated above (that is, permitted by the relevant resources and their rules). The project team may remove such materials without notice if they violate the rules of other resources or existing license restrictions

8. DMCA Compliance

The project aims to allow users to re-use for their own purposes the materials posted by us, without fear of liability and without fear of infringing other people's property rights. In order to be fair to our users and other authors and copyright owners, it is our policy to respond to reports of alleged infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) procedures. In accordance with the DMCA, we will, in appropriate circumstances, block users and account holders of our system and network who are found to be repeat infringers.

However, we also understand that not every message about the need to block should be considered credible and well-intentioned. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to send a counter-notification if they have reasonable grounds to believe that the DMCA block request is in error.

If you are the owner of material that is currently being misused in one of the projects without your permission, you may request that the material be removed in accordance with the DMCA. To submit a related request, please email support@dollshobby.club.

9. Third Party Websites and Resources

10. Website Management

The project team intervenes in the process of filling materials only as a data moderator for compliance with the rules, but is not responsible for the content of this data. During moderation or in case of complaints from other users, the project team has the right to:

In order not to limit the power of the community, the Project will not per se ban a user from posting, nor will it block a member's account or access to the Project solely because of constructive criticism that does not result in actions that otherwise violate these Terms of Use or rules community

Particularly troublesome users whose accounts or access have been blocked may be permanently banned by IP or other identifiers.

If your account or access is blocked or otherwise restricted for any reason, your public contribution remains publicly available (subject to applicable rules) and, unless we notify you otherwise, you can still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading the public content of our projects. However, under such conditions, you will not be able to access your account or personal settings. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the Services at any time, with or without reason, and with or without prior notice. Even after your participation is banned, blocked or otherwise terminated, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to the relevant provisions, including sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-14 and 16.

16. Amendments to these Terms of Use

Since the input of the project community is extremely important to the growth and maintenance of our projects, we consider community awareness and involvement to be an important element in ensuring that these Terms of Use properly serve the interests of our project participants.

If significant changes are planned, we will provide an additional 30 days to submit comments after publishing a translation of the proposed changes in at least three languages (chosen at our discretion). The community will be invited to translate the proposed changes into other languages as needed. In the case of changes due to legal or administrative reasons, the need to correct inaccurate statements, or changes in response to community comments, we intend to allow at least 3 (three) days for advance notice.

However, we ask that you periodically review the most recent version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new version of the Terms of Use becomes official following notification and after the end of the further discussion period shall be deemed to be your acceptance of these Terms of Use. To protect the project and other users like you, do not use our services if you do not agree with our Terms of Use.

These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership or joint venture relationship between you and us, the DollsHobby.club project. Unless you have entered into a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Use and a written agreement between you and us, the written agreement will control.
