Terms

The rules.

Lord Denning would be proud. He once opened a judgment with “It was bluebell time in Kent.” We couldn't work bluebells in, but these are in plain English and you can finish them before your tea goes cold.

The basics

rabbithole (the-rabbit-hole.app) is run from the UK. “We” and “us” means the people running it. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, that's fine, but please don't use it.

You need to be at least 13 to make an account.

Your account

One account per person. Keep your password to yourself. You're responsible for anything posted from your account, so if you think someone else has got into it, tell us at hello@the-rabbit-hole.app.

Your writing is yours

You keep the copyright in everything you write here. We don't own it and never will.

When you publish a rabbit hole, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, reproduce and distribute it, both on rabbithole and in things that promote or come from rabbithole. That includes printed collections, like a book of the best rabbit holes. We'll always credit you by your username.

The licence ends when you delete the rabbit hole or your account, apart from copies that have already been printed or shared, which we can't get back.

By publishing, you're confirming it's your own work, or that you have the right to use anything in it that isn't.

What you can't post

  • Anything illegal, or anything that encourages someone else to do something illegal.
  • Someone else's writing passed off as yours.
  • Harassment, threats, or content attacking people for who they are.
  • Sexual content involving anyone under 18. This gets reported to the police.
  • Other people's personal information without their permission.
  • Pretending to be someone you're not.
  • Spam, adverts, or pieces that exist to rank a website on Google.

Reports and moderation

If you see something that breaks these rules, use the flag option on the rabbit hole, or email hello@the-rabbit-hole.app. We read every report.

We can remove content or suspend accounts that break these terms. If we remove something of yours and you think we got it wrong, email us and a human will look at it again. The same address works for any other complaint about how we've handled things.

Deleting things

You can edit your rabbit holes at any time. To delete one, or to delete your account and everything in it, email hello@the-rabbit-hole.app from the address you signed up with. The privacy policy explains what happens to your data after that.

The small print

rabbithole is provided as it is. We'll try to keep it running and not lose anything, but we can't promise it will always be available, and we might change or close it. If we close it, we'll give you notice so you can take a copy of your writing.

As far as the law allows, we're not liable for indirect losses from using the site. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that can't legally be limited, and none of it affects your statutory rights.

Changes

If we change these terms we'll update the date at the top. If the change is significant, we'll email you first.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
