Introduction

This document outlines the terms and conditions for the use of all products provided by ButterDogCo linking to this document, herein referred to as "The Company", or "The Distributor". The members of the ButterDogCo GitHub organization, administrators of the ButterDogCo Discord Server, are referred to as "The Employees", "The Developers", or "The Administrators". The services provided by ButterDogCo, such as Wikabedia, are referred to as "The Products" or "The Services". The persons who use this service are collectively referred to as "The Customers", "The Users", or "The Clients".

By agreeing to the terms outlined below, the user agrees to be bound by the rules and regulations of this document, as well as any other rules and regulations that may be provided by the company in the future. If a user does not agree to these terms, they are prohibited from using any services provided by the company.

If a user who has agreed to the terms, and is therefore obligated to follow them, breaks said terms, the following rules apply:

1. The company reserves the right to remove or restrict access to users from any products or services, as detailed in the Terms of Use section of this document.

If at any moment, there are multiple competing terms, for example, these terms and the implied terms of a distributed product, the specific terms in this document are the ones which take superiority. To the extent local law (The laws, regulations, and arbitrations of the state of Oregon) conflicts with these terms, local law will control always takes superiority over the terms in this document, as detailed in the Governing Law section of this document.

In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy, the Privacy Policy controls for privacy-related matters to the extent of the conflict.

Unless otherwise indicated, the company is the sole owner and manager of all provided services and products, including all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics (herein referred to as "The Content"), as well as any trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (herein referred to as "The Marks"). Unless otherwise indicated through these terms and only these terms, no part of the products, content, or marks provided by the company may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose whatsoever, without prior written permission from the company.

Contributing

First and foremost, the company does not assert ownership over any user-made contributions. Users retain full ownership of the contributions they provide, as well as any proprietary rights for their contributions. The company is not liable or responsible for any statements or representations in your contributions provided by you in any product given out by the company, or contributed user content.

By providing contributions to the company, users agree that the contributions:

The company has the right to modify any part of any user-made contribution. If the company modifies a core part of the contribution, such as the code, visual media (excluding favicons and other identification icons), or audio media (excluding haptic response feedback and login/boot/error sounds), the company is now in possession of a separate item from the original contribution, or as otherwise stated in the product's contributing or license document.

User Feedback And Submissions

The company may, at times, provide channels for clients to submit feedback regarding a provided service. Feedback given through improper channels will be ignored, as well as any feedback about any provided services that themselves do not provide channels for clients to submit feedback. Users are not allowed to use feedback channels of one service to provide feedback for another service, regardless of whether the two are connected in any way, including but not limited to web frames, links, or advertisements.

Users agree that their feedback is entirely truthful and is constructive criticism aimed not to defame the company, its employees, or its services, but rather to provide suggestions on changes the company could make.

Updates

The company may, at any time, update or modify the provided services, content, or marks. The company is obligated to provide a 10-day notice to the userbase before said changes are in effect, unless the changes are considered minor, in which case the company is not obligated to provide any notice. The company may send notifications of updates through one or multiple of the following methods:

1. A news post on the company's website
2. An announcement message in the Discord server
3. A message sent to the email address associated with the user's account

The following changes to the terms and conditions of ButterDogCo are not subject to the 10-day notification period for other changes:

1. Fixing typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions

In the event that a user does not agree to the changes made to the terms and conditions, they are obligated to stop using the services provided by the company and delete any and all copies of the services, content, or marks provided by the company, including but not limited to local downloads and backups. Users retain the right to contact the company to express their disagreement with the changes made to the terms and conditions, but the company is not obligated to respond to such messages, and terms and conditions stated in this document and privacy policy are still in effect when contacting the company regarding disagreements with changes made to the terms and conditions.

Limitations of Liability

Under no circumstances will the company or its employees be liable to any user or third party for any direct, indirect, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost profit, lost revenue, or lost data, even if warnings or advice have been given to the company regarding the possibility of such damages.

The company is not liable for any downtime of any of its products or services, whether intentional or not, whether through hardware, software, or firmware problems, or other issues that may arise to the extent not prohibited by law. The company is not obligated to announce planned downtimes or provide an explanation for any downtime, intentional or not. The company is furthermore not obligated to notify the userbase about any change, revision, update, suspension, or discontinuation of any of its products or services. If any product or service provided by the company is blocked through any means, neither the company nor its employees is required to supply a backup or alternative access point to the blocked product or service. No part of these terms may be used to force the company to update any of its products or services for any reason; the company is the sole entity that decides what changes are made and when.

Governing Law
