<section class="legal-section" id="content">
<h2><span class="section-num">06</span> Content &amp; Ownership</h2><div class="mini-summary"><strong>In short:</strong> Your content belongs to you. We only need limited rights to host and deliver it, and public content can be seen by anyone.</div>

<!-- Git terms -->
<section class="legal-section" id="git-terms">
<h2><span class="section-num">07</span> Git Hosting, Additional Terms</h2><div class="mini-summary"><strong>In short:</strong> Use the git service for software projects, not as a general-purpose file host or for harmful tooling.</div>
<p>Our git service (git.arcaneneko.com) is intended for hosting software projects and related development work. The following additional rules apply:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Fair use:</strong> Do not use the service as a general file storage or media hosting service. Repositories should primarily contain source code or project-related files.</li>
<li><strong>No malware:</strong> Do not host malicious software, exploit code designed to cause harm, or tools intended primarily for illegal purposes.</li>
<li><strong>Public repositories:</strong> You are responsible for the contents of your public repositories. If you accidentally commit sensitive data (API keys, passwords), treat it as compromised and rotate it immediately.</li>
<li><strong>Resource limits:</strong> We may impose fair use limits on repository size or other resources to ensure the service remains available for everyone.</li>
</ul>
</section>
<!-- Neovoxis terms -->
<section class="legal-section" id="neovoxis-terms">
<h2><span class="section-num">08</span> Neovoxis, Additional Terms</h2><div class="mini-summary"><strong>In short:</strong> DMs are encrypted, but the platform rules still apply. Server owners must moderate responsibly, and preview features may change.</div>
<p>Neovoxis is a chat and community platform. In addition to the general acceptable use rules above, the following applies:</p>
<h3>Server owners &amp; administrators</h3>
<p>If you create a server on Neovoxis, you are responsible for moderating your community and ensuring it complies with these Terms. ArcaneNeko is not responsible for content posted in user-created servers, but we reserve the right to remove servers that violate these Terms.</p>
<h3>Direct messages</h3>
<p>Direct messages are end-to-end encrypted. While we cannot read DM content, the acceptable use rules still apply. Using DMs to send spam, harassment, illegal material, or CSAM is prohibited regardless of encryption.</p>
<h3>Early preview</h3>
<p>Neovoxis is currently in early preview. This means the platform is still under active development. Features may change, be removed, or be unstable. We appreciate your patience and feedback.</p>
<h3>Community standards</h3>
<p>Beyond what's legally prohibited, we expect users to treat each other with basic respect. We reserve the right to act on behaviour that, while not necessarily illegal, is genuinely harmful to other users or to the community.</p>

<!-- Termination -->
<section class="legal-section" id="termination">
<h2><span class="section-num">11</span> Termination</h2><div class="mini-summary"><strong>In short:</strong> You can leave at any time. We can suspend or remove accounts that break the rules, with immediate action for serious abuse.</div>
<h3>By you</h3>

<!-- Liability -->

</ul>
<p>Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under UK law.</p>
<p>Our services are provided free of charge. Given this, it is reasonable that our liability exposure is limited.</p>
