5. User-Generated Content

5.1 Your Content

The Service allows you to create, upload, and share content including but not limited to:

• Item templates and instances
• Shop templates and instances
• Loot tables and instances
• Collections
• Characters
• Parties and party notes
• Images and artwork you upload
• Images generated using our AI features
• Text descriptions, names, and other written content
• Ratings and reviews

Collectively, this is referred to as "User Content" or "your content." You retain ownership of the content you create.

5.2 License to ScryMarket

By creating or uploading User Content, you grant ScryMarket a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, store, host, display, and distribute your User Content solely for the purposes of:

• Operating and improving the Service
• Displaying your content to you and (if you choose) other users
• Serving your content to other users who duplicate or instantiate it
• Creating backups and archives
• Enabling features you use (such as marketplace sharing)

This license continues for as long as your content remains on the Service and for a reasonable period thereafter to allow for backup retention.

5.3 Public Content and License to Other Users

You control the visibility of your content:

• Private: Visible only to you (and party members if in a party context)
• Public: Visible to all users through the marketplace
• Unlisted: Accessible via share link but not discoverable in marketplace

When you make content public, you grant other ScryMarket users a perpetual, non-exclusive license to:

• View and browse your content
• Duplicate your content to create their own independent copy
• Create instances from your content for use in their parties, shops, and inventories
• Rate and review your content

Duplicates and instances created by other users become their content, not yours. Public content may be rated by other users, and ratings are visible to all users.

5.4 Content Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for your User Content. You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights to your content, including any uploaded images
• Your content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights
• Any images you upload were created by you, licensed to you, or are in the public domain
• Your content complies with these Terms and applicable laws

5.5 Content Restrictions

You may not create, upload, or share content that:

• Is illegal or promotes illegal activities
• Infringes copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights
• Contains malware, viruses, or harmful code
• Is defamatory, harassing, threatening, or abusive
• Contains personal information of others without consent
• Is deceptive, fraudulent, or misleading
• Is obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit (unless clearly marked and restricted)
• Violates any applicable law or regulation

5.6 Content Moderation

We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to:

• Monitor User Content
• Remove, disable access to, or restrict visibility of content that violates these Terms
• Suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly violate these Terms

Content that violates our policies may be made private or removed from public visibility rather than deleted, at our discretion. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you if we take action on your content, unless prohibited by law or if notification could cause harm.

5.7 Uploaded Images and Artwork

You may upload images to accompany your content (such as item artwork, character portraits, or shop images). By uploading an image, you represent and warrant that:

• You own the image or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, or permissions to use and share it
• The image does not infringe any third-party copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights
• You have the right to grant us and other users the licenses described in these Terms

We are not responsible for verifying ownership of uploaded images. If you upload an image you do not have rights to, you may be liable for infringement and agree to indemnify us for any resulting claims (see Section 13).

5.8 Deleting Your Content

Private Content: You may fully delete private content at any time. All associated data will be permanently removed.

Public Content Not In Use: If your public content has not been duplicated or instantiated by other users, you may fully delete it.

Public Content In Active Use: If other users have created duplicates or instances from your public content, full deletion would disrupt their experience. In this case:

• Your content will be removed from your account and from all public visibility
• Your association with the content (as creator) will be removed
• The underlying content data may be retained in anonymized form solely to maintain functionality for existing duplicates and instances
• You will no longer be identified as the creator

This is similar to publishing a recipe—once others have copied it into their own collections, you can remove your name and stop sharing it publicly, but you cannot retrieve copies already in use.

5.9 Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to valid copyright complaints in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a notice to our designated DMCA agent with:

• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
• Identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location on the Service
• Your contact information (name, address, phone, email)
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner
• Your physical or electronic signature

We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing content and may terminate accounts of repeat infringers.

AI-generated content:

• May not be accurate, appropriate, or suitable for your needs
