Terms of Use

Welcome to PeopleWiki!

These Terms of Use ("Terms") apply to your use of the websites, mobile applications, and other services (collectively, the "Services") provided by the PeopleWiki Foundation. By using our Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use our Services.

1. Our Services

We are dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free, multilingual content, and to providing the full content of these wiki-based projects to the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference projects in the world.

However, we act only as a hosting service, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework that allows our users to build the PeopleWiki projects by contributing and editing content themselves. Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should consider when interacting with our projects:

• We do not take an editorial role: Because all content on the PeopleWiki is collaboratively generated by users, we generally do not monitor or edit the content, and we do not take any responsibility for this content.
• You are responsible for your own actions: You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on PeopleWiki projects, so for your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid contributing any content that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws.

2. Licensing of Content

To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to PeopleWiki are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to re-distribute and re-use their contributions freely. When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:

• Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0)

3. Refraining from Certain Activities

The projects hosted by the PeopleWiki Foundation exist only because of the vibrant community of users who collaborate together to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We expect you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and additions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared project.
