Terms

Terms

These terms describe the expectations that apply when you use Aficionado.

Effective

Who can use Aficionado

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use Aficionado. If the law where you live sets a higher age for agreeing to terms like these on your own, a parent or guardian must agree to them for you.

Aficionado does not knowingly allow children under 13 to hold an account. If you believe one does, contact Aficionado and the account will be removed.

Your account and Profile visibility

Your username, display name, bio, and Profile Picture remain visible. Scrapbook and Radar each start Public, and you may make either collection Private independently from its tab on your Profile. Visitors cannot see a Private collection’s Works or memories, including through direct links. Lists have separate Public and Unlisted settings: Public Lists appear on your Profile, and anyone with an Unlisted List’s link can open it regardless of your collection settings.

You are responsible for access to your email account and for keeping Authentication Links secure. Do not forward or share an Authentication Link.

Your content

You retain ownership of content you submit, including your Profile Picture, and must have the right to share it. You grant Aficionado a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host that content and display it according to its visibility settings solely to provide the service.

Acceptable use

You must not use Aficionado to:

  • break the law or violate another person’s rights;
  • publish infringing, abusive, or unlawfully harmful material;
  • impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation;
  • disrupt, probe, overload, or interfere with the service; or
  • scrape, automate, or access the service in a way that harms it or its users.

Third-party material

Catalog data, artwork, and external links remain owned by their respective rights holders and are governed by the applicable providers’ terms. Their inclusion does not transfer ownership to you or Aficionado.

Moderation and changes

Aficionado may moderate or remove content, restrict accounts, change features, or discontinue the free service when reasonably necessary to operate, protect, or improve it.

Availability and responsibility

Aficionado is provided on a best-effort basis. Availability may be interrupted, and there is no guarantee that content or account data will always be preserved. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Aficionado is provided without warranties and is not responsible for indirect or disproportionate losses arising from use of the service. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits a right or liability that applicable law does not permit Aficionado to exclude or limit.

Deletion and rights-holder requests

You can delete your account from Settings. For help with it, email support@aficiona.do.

For rights-holder or removal requests, email copyright@aficiona.do or see Rights-holder and removal requests.
