You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
3. User-Generated Content
You retain ownership of the content you create on past.fun. By making a timeline public, you grant past.fun a non-exclusive, worldwide license to display, distribute, and make that content available to other users. Other users may fork public timelines, creating derivative works that reference your original.

5. Intellectual Property
The past.fun platform, including its design, code, and branding, is owned by past.fun. AI-generated timelines created by the Archivist system account are derived from publicly available sources (Wikipedia, Wikidata) and are provided under their respective licenses.
6. Forking and Collaboration
Public timelines may be forked by other users. Forks create independent copies that credit the original. Collaborators added to a timeline may view or edit it according to their assigned role. Timeline owners can remove collaborators at any time.
7. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms. You may delete your account at any time through the Settings page, which will permanently remove your account and all associated timelines.
8. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee the accuracy of AI-generated or user-submitted historical content. We are not responsible for content created by users.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, past.fun shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service.
