Welcome to DropQ (“DropQ”, “we”, “us”, “our”), operating the website dropq.me (the “Service”). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you (“User”, “you”) accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance of Responsibility

By signing up, logging in, asking a question, posting an answer, leaving a comment, voting, or otherwise using DropQ, you fully accept all responsibility for any and all content you submit, transmit, view, or interact with on the Service. You acknowledge that DropQ is a passive intermediary that hosts user-generated content and exercises no editorial control over that content.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the Service with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. Certain content on the Service may be inappropriate for users under 18; you are solely responsible for determining whether any content is appropriate for you.

3. Nature of the Service

DropQ is a global question-and-answer social platform that allows users to receive questions (anonymously or publicly) and post answers that may be viewed by other users and the general public. You understand that:

• Use of the Service is at your sole risk.

We may reclaim usernames at our sole discretion (e.g., for impersonation, trademark issues, inactivity, or violation of these Terms).

5. User Content & License

You retain all ownership rights in the content you submit. By posting content, you grant DropQ a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, perpetual license to host, store, reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display, and create derivative works of your content, solely for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Service. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license.

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Service, related systems, or networks;
• Circumvent rate limits, automated abuse, scraping (other than reasonable indexing by search engines), or any technical safeguards;
