Terms of Service

1. Introduction

Welcome to Cosmic Civilizations. These Terms of Service explain the rules for using our website, community features, content pages, user submissions, and optional paid membership features.

By using Cosmic Civilizations, you agree to follow these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

2. What Cosmic Civilizations Provides

Cosmic Civilizations is a digital space and science community website. Users can explore space-related content, read and share theories or ideas, comment on discussions, and access optional membership features.

Cosmic Civilizations does not sell physical goods, cryptocurrency, NFTs, investment products, financial products, donations, adult content, regulated goods, or third-party marketplace products.

3. Accounts

Some features may require an account. You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for any activity that happens through your account.

You agree to provide accurate information when creating or updating your account. We may suspend or remove accounts that violate these Terms, abuse the website, or create safety, security, or moderation concerns.

4. User Submissions

Users may submit theories, ideas, comments, profile details, avatars, and other community content. You are responsible for the content you submit.

By submitting content, you give Cosmic Civilizations permission to display, moderate, edit, remove, and use that content for operating and improving the website.

We may review submissions before or after publication. We may reject, hide, edit, or remove content that violates our rules or creates risk for the community.

5. Community Rules

You agree not to submit or share illegal, harmful, hateful, abusive, misleading, spammy, adult, violent, scam-related, or infringing content.

You also agree not to use Cosmic Civilizations to promote cryptocurrency, NFTs, financial schemes, investment advice, medical advice, legal advice, regulated products, malware, phishing, or other unsafe activities.

6. Paid Membership

Cosmic Civilizations may offer an optional paid digital membership called Cosmic Citizen. The membership may include premium community features, Citizen Hub access, profile badges, and other digital website features.

The Cosmic Citizen membership is a digital subscription currently priced at $4.99 per month unless stated otherwise on the checkout page. Prices and features may change in the future.

Membership access is provided digitally. No physical goods are shipped.

7. Billing and Cancellation

Payments are processed by a third-party payment provider. By purchasing a membership, you agree to the price, billing cycle, and payment terms shown at checkout.

You can cancel your subscription according to the cancellation options provided through the checkout, payment provider, account page, or support process. Canceling stops future billing but does not automatically refund past charges unless a refund is approved under our refund policy.

8. Refunds

Refund requests are handled according to our Refund Policy. Because Cosmic Civilizations provides digital membership access, refunds may be reviewed case by case.

9. Educational and Community Content

Cosmic Civilizations content is provided for educational, creative, discussion, and community purposes only. We do not guarantee that all theories, ideas, comments, or user submissions are scientifically proven, complete, current, or accurate.

User-generated theories and comments represent the views of their authors, not necessarily Cosmic Civilizations.

10. Intellectual Property

The Cosmic Civilizations website design, branding, original written content, layouts, features, and related materials are owned by Cosmic Civilizations or its respective rights holders.

You may not copy, reproduce, sell, or misuse our content, branding, or website materials without permission.

11. Service Changes

We may update, improve, limit, suspend, or discontinue parts of the website at any time. We may also change membership features, free features, or community features as the website develops.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to Cosmic Civilizations if a user violates these Terms, creates risk for the website or community, abuses features, attempts fraud, or breaks applicable laws.

13. Disclaimer

Cosmic Civilizations is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that all content will always be accurate, complete, or available.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Cosmic Civilizations is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the website.
