You are solely responsible for your User Content. By posting User Content, you represent that you have the right to share it and that it does not violate these Terms, the rights of others, workplace rules, or applicable law.

6. Media Uploads
If media uploads are enabled, users may be allowed to attach images or other permitted media to experiences. Upload limits, file types, and media availability may be changed by site administrators at any time.
You may only upload media that you own or have permission to share. Do not upload media that contains private customer information, private employee information, restricted workplace areas, confidential documents, copyrighted material you do not have permission to share, or anything that violates these Terms.
We may remove media at any time if we believe it violates these Terms or may create risk for users, the service, or third parties.

Movie pages may include information such as titles, posters, release dates, summaries, ratings, badges, and other details. Some movie information may be submitted by users, entered by administrators, or collected from third-party sources such as movie databases.
We do not guarantee that movie information is accurate, complete, current, or error-free. Movie information is provided for community and informational purposes only.
8. Badges, Ratings, and Extra Movie Information
The service may display ratings, averages, vote totals, badges, extra movie information, and community-reported details such as whether a movie has an end credit scene. These are based on user submissions and administrator settings.
These results are community-generated and may not always be accurate. Do not rely on them as official movie information.
9. Moderation
We may review, edit, hide, remove, or refuse any User Content at our discretion. We may also suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we believe may harm the service, users, or third parties.
We are not obligated to monitor all content, but we reserve the right to do so.
