Terms of Service

Welcome to myMantle. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of myMantle (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use myMantle. This is a developing application currently being worked on and is not for profit at this moment.

This document works together with our Privacy Policy, which explains what information we collect and how we use it.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create a myMantle account. If you are between 13 and 17 years old, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has given you permission to use the Service and agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

By creating an account, you confirm the age and identity information you provide is accurate. We do not independently verify your age — we rely on the information you provide at signup, checked in your browser at the time you sign up. If we later determine that an account was created with a false age, or by someone who did not meet the eligibility requirements above, we may suspend or terminate that account (see Section 6).

If you access myMantle from outside the United States, please note that some countries set a higher minimum age for using online services without additional parental consent. It’s your responsibility to comply with the age requirements that apply to you in your own location.

2. Your Account

• You’re responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activity that happens under your account.
• One account per person. Don’t create multiple accounts to evade a ban, timeout, or content moderation decision.
• Usernames may not impersonate another person or entity, or use content our automated username filter blocks (see Section 5).
• You’re responsible for keeping your account email address accurate — it’s how we reach you about your account, including security and moderation notices.
• You may delete your account at any time. See Section 9 (“Ending Your Account”) for how.

3. Your Content

myMantle lets you upload photos and information about your physical collectibles (games, movies, books, trading cards) and display them on a personal, shareable shelf.

• You own what you upload. Photos, descriptions, and other content you add to myMantle remain yours.
• You grant us a license to display it. By uploading content, you grant myMantle a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display that content as necessary to operate the Service — including showing it to other users if your profile or the specific item is set to public, and generating thumbnails or resized copies for performance. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies retained temporarily in backups (see our Privacy Policy).
• You’re responsible for what you upload. You confirm you have the right to upload and display any photo or content you submit. Don’t upload content that infringes someone else’s copyright or other rights.
• Public by default. Shelves, cabinets, and binders are public by default unless you set your account to private in Settings. Understand what you’re sharing before you upload it.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use myMantle to:

• Upload or share sexually explicit, graphically violent, hateful, or otherwise illegal content.
• Harass, threaten, stalk, or impersonate another person.
• Upload content that infringes someone else’s intellectual property rights.
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits, CAPTCHA, content moderation, or other technical protections we’ve put in place.
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the Service outside of normal, individual human use.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to another user’s account or to any part of the Service you’re not authorized to access.
• Use the Service for any purpose that violates applicable law.

5. Content Moderation

To keep myMantle safe, every image and every piece of text you submit (cover photos, avatars, item titles and descriptions, cabinet and binder names, your bio, and similar fields) is automatically screened by an automated content moderation system before it’s saved. This screening happens on our servers, not just in your browser, and applies to all users.

We also maintain a blocklist that prevents usernames containing impersonation attempts or profanity from being registered.

Automated moderation isn’t perfect. If something is incorrectly flagged, or if something inappropriate slips through, please contact us using the reporting tools described below.

6. Reporting and Enforcement

Any signed-in user can flag an individual item or another user’s profile as inappropriate, using the “⋯” menu available on items and profiles. Filing a report submits a record of the report (including your account, the item or profile involved, and its container) to our moderation team for review, and sends us a notification email.

If we determine that your account or content violates these Terms — including providing false information to meet the eligibility requirements in Section 1 — we may, at our discretion and without prior notice for serious violations:

• Remove or hide the offending content.
• Issue a timeout — a temporary suspension of your account for a set period, after which access is automatically restored.
• Issue a ban — a suspension of your account until we lift it.
• Terminate your account entirely for repeated or severe violations.

Content and account visibility affected by a ban or timeout is hidden from other users but is not deleted, and is restored automatically if the suspension lifts. We keep an internal record of moderation actions and their stated reasons; that record is not visible to other users.

We aim to review reports promptly, but myMantle is a small, independently run project — please understand that response times may vary.

7. Third-Party Services and Data

Operating myMantle relies on a number of third-party service providers, including hosting, database, and email delivery, as well as an automated content-moderation provider used to screen uploads, and optional third-party game and movie databases you may choose to use to help fill in item details. Details of what data is shared with which providers, and why, are in our Privacy Policy.

If you use the optional game-lookup search when adding an item, your search query is sent to that third-party database to retrieve results; cover art sourced this way is linked directly from that provider’s servers, with attribution, rather than being copied onto ours.

8. Service Availability

myMantle is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We take reasonable steps to back up data (including database and uploaded file backups), but we do not guarantee the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data will never be lost. We recommend keeping your own copies of anything irreplaceable.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We’ll do our best to give notice of significant changes where practical.

9. Ending Your Account

You may stop using myMantle at any time. To request deletion of your account and associated data, contact us at support@mymantle.net. We’ll confirm your identity and process deletion requests within a reasonable time, subject to the data-retention notes in our Privacy Policy (for example, records kept for security or legal reasons, and copies that persist briefly in backups).

We may suspend or terminate your account for violating these Terms, as described in Section 6.

10. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, myMantle and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, including loss of data, loss of access, or content posted by other users. The Service is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll update the “Last updated” date above and, where practical, notify active users. Continuing to use myMantle after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
