The agreement between you and C1A.club.
Last updated: 25 August 2026
C1A.club ("C1A", "we", "us", "our") is an online platform, currently in early release, that helps creators (starting with writers and artists) build a profile, find collaborators, message each other, and read community news. These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy, form the agreement between you and C1A.club. You can reach us at supportc1aclub@gmail.com.
We're a very early-stage, independently run project and have not yet registered a formal operating entity. We'll publish those details here once they exist.
By creating an account or using C1A.club, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service. C1A.club is provided free of charge during this phase. If we introduce paid features in the future, we'll tell you the price and terms before you are charged.
You must be at least 16 years old to use C1A.club. By using the service you confirm that you are 16 or older. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 16, we may suspend or remove it. You must provide accurate information when you register and keep it up to date.
You are responsible for your account and for keeping your password safe. You are responsible for all activity that happens under your account. We are entitled to assume that anyone logging into your account is you or has your permission. Tell us promptly at supportc1aclub@gmail.com if you think someone has accessed your account without permission.
Your account is personal to you. You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account as described under "Suspension and termination" below.
C1A.club is a space for creative collaboration. When you use it, you agree not to:
We may remove content or restrict accounts that break these rules.
You keep full ownership of everything you create and upload to C1A.club(your profile text, images, writing, artwork, messages, and any work you make, together your "Content"). C1A does not claim ownership of your Content.
To run the platform, you grant C1A a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt (for formatting/display only), display, and transmit your Content only as needed to operate and provide the service to you and the people you share it with (for example, showing your profile and preview images to other users so they can find and contact you). This licence ends when you delete the Content or close your account, except where we must keep a copy for a limited time for legal reasons or in ordinary backups.
We do not sell your Content, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
You promise that you own your Content or have all rights and permissions needed to post it and to grant the licence above, and that your Content does not infringe anyone else's rights or break the law.
You are responsible for your Content and you assume all risks related to posting it, including anyone's reliance on its accuracy and any claim relating to intellectual property or other rights.
C1A does not pre-screen most Content and is not obliged to monitor what users post. Content is the sole responsibility of the person who created or posted it, and we do not endorse or guarantee it. You understand that by using the service you may encounter Content that is inaccurate, offensive, or otherwise objectionable.
We may (but do not have to) access, review, preserve, and disclose your Content and account information where we reasonably believe it is necessary to: comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or government or authority request; enforce these Terms, including investigating suspected breaches; detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, safety, or technical issues; respond to your support requests; or protect the rights, property, or safety of C1A, our users, or the public.
C1A.club helps creators find each other. C1A is only a platform and is not a party to any agreement, project, or collaboration between users. We do not employ users, do not supervise collaborations, and are not responsible for what users agree, produce, deliver, pay, or fail to do with one another. Nothing in these Terms creates any employment, partnership, agency, or joint-venture relationship between C1A and you, or between users.
Ownership of work created jointly by collaborators is a matter between those collaborators. We strongly recommend that collaborators agree in writing, before they start, on who owns what, how any income is split, and how credit is given.
To the extent permitted by law, you release C1A from claims, demands, and damages of every kind arising out of or connected with disputes between you and other users or third parties relating to your use of the service. This does not apply to loss caused by our own fault to the extent set out under "Liability" below.
If you believe Content on C1A.club infringes your copyright or other rights, or is illegal, contact us at supportc1aclub@gmail.com with your details, a description and link to the Content, and an explanation of the problem. We will review reports and may remove Content or restrict accounts. We aim to handle notices in line with applicable EU and German law (including the Digital Services Act where it applies). We may remove Content alleged to be infringing without prior notice, and we may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.
The C1A.club platform, including its software, design, look and feel, text, and the C1A name and logo, belongs to C1A or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not give you any right to use our name, logo, or branding, or to copy, adapt, or reuse any part of the platform, except as needed for ordinary permitted use of the service. Do not use our branding in a way that suggests endorsement or a relationship that does not exist.
If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about C1A.club, you agree we may use them freely, without any obligation or payment to you, to operate and improve the service.
We may suspend, restrict, or close your account, or remove Content, if you break these Terms, if it is reasonably necessary to protect other users or the service, or if we are legally required to. Where reasonable and lawful, we will give you notice and a chance to respond, and where practical we will notify you by the email associated with your account. You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time.
C1A.club is offered in an early phase and provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise that it will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will meet your specific needs. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have as a consumer under mandatory German or EU law.
To the extent permitted by law, C1A is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost data, or loss arising from your dealings with other users, from Content posted by others, or from the service being unavailable.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where it cannot be excluded by law, including liability for intent (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit), for injury to life, body, or health, or under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz). For slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation (Kardinalpflicht), and then only for foreseeable, typical damage.
You are responsible for your Content and your use of the service. To the extent permitted by law, if a third party brings a claim against C1A because of your Content or your breach of these Terms, you will compensate us for reasonable losses, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from it, and you agree to cooperate with our defence. This does not apply where, or to the extent that, the claim is caused by our own fault.
C1A.club relies on third-party providers, for example Supabase for our database, authentication, and file storage, and Vercel for hosting, to run. Links to external sites are not under our control and we are not responsible for them.
Changes. We may update these Terms as the platform grows. If we make a significant change, we will notify registered users (for example, by email or an in-app notice) a reasonable time before it takes effect. If you keep using C1A.club after a change takes effect, that means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you may close your account.
Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not remove the protection of mandatory laws of your country of residence.
Consumer dispute resolution. The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not currently obliged or willing to take part in dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration board, unless required by law.
These Terms are personal to you: you may not assign or transfer them without our consent. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms (for example, as part of a reorganisation, financing, or sale of the business), provided this does not reduce your rights.
These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy) are the entire agreement between you and C1A about the service. If any part is found invalid, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a right at some point does not waive it.
