Introduction
Rim Locals ("we," "our," or "us") provides a platform where users can contribute content, including but not limited to posts, comments, images, videos, and other materials ("User-Generated Content" or "UGC"). This User-Generated Content Policy ("Policy") outlines the terms and conditions under which users may submit, share, and interact with content on our platform. By contributing content, you agree to adhere to this Policy.

1. Ownership of User-Generated Content

You retain ownership of any UGC you create and post on Rim Locals. However, by submitting UGC, you grant Rim Locals a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display, distribute, and modify your content on the platform. This license is granted for the purposes of operating, promoting, and improving the services provided by Rim Locals.

• You must have the necessary rights and permissions to post the content.
• You must ensure that your content does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others.

2. Acceptable Use of User-Generated Content

While we encourage creativity and diverse expressions, we prohibit the following types of content:

• Illegal Content: Content that promotes or engages in illegal activities.
• Hate Speech and Harassment: Content that discriminates against or threatens individuals or groups based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics.
• Explicit Content: Pornographic, obscene, or sexually explicit content.
• Defamation: Content that harms the reputation of others or spreads false information.
• Violent Content: Content that promotes or glorifies violence, harm, or abuse.
• Spam or Malware: Content designed to solicit, deceive, or spread malicious software or spam.

Any content that violates these standards will be removed, and accounts involved may be suspended or terminated.

3. Monitoring and Moderation

Rim Locals reserves the right to monitor, review, and remove User-Generated Content at its discretion. We are committed to creating a safe and positive environment for all users, and we rely on both automated systems and user reports to identify and address inappropriate content.

• Moderation: We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that UGC adheres to this Policy, but we cannot guarantee the complete elimination of harmful or inappropriate content.
• Reporting: If you encounter content that you believe violates this Policy, please report it to us at support@rimlocals.com. We will review and take appropriate action based on the severity of the violation.

4. User Responsibilities

As a user of Rim Locals, you are responsible for the content you post, share, or distribute. You agree that:

• You will not post content that violates the rights of others, including intellectual property rights.
• You will not engage in behavior that could harm others or disrupt the platform’s operations.
• You are solely responsible for any content you create, including the consequences of sharing or distributing that content.

5. License Termination

If you delete or remove any of your User-Generated Content from Rim Locals, the license we have to use that content will terminate, except where your content has been incorporated into public-facing services (such as other users’ interactions with it) or retained for archival purposes.

6. Third-Party Content

Rim Locals may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not controlled by us. We are not responsible for the content of external websites or services. If you choose to interact with third-party content, you do so at your own risk.

7. Intellectual Property Rights

You affirm that by submitting User-Generated Content to Rim Locals, you do not infringe upon any intellectual property rights held by others. You agree to indemnify Rim Locals from any claims, losses, or damages arising from content that violates the rights of others.

8. Changes to the User-Generated Content Policy

Rim Locals reserves the right to modify or update this Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the platform after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Policy.
