Last updated: [DATE] · Draft — pending legal review
This is a placeholder draft, not a lawyer-reviewed document. Replace all [bracketed] fields once the company is formed, and have a licensed attorney review this before real users sign up.

3. Your content
You retain ownership of the ratings, posts, and comments you submit ("User Content"). By posting User Content, you grant Mubrary a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute it as part of operating the Service (e.g. showing your ratings to people who follow you).
You are solely responsible for your User Content. Don't post anything illegal, infringing, harassing, or that violates someone else's rights.

5. Conduct & moderation
We may remove content, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, harass other users, or abuse the blocking/reporting systems. See our DMCA Policy for copyright takedown requests.

8. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
