Terms of Service for FazBrowse
Effective Date: [10/08/2025] Last Updated: [12/08/2026]
Welcome to FazBrowse. By accessing or using our website ("Site"), services, forums, video hosting features, or any other content or functionality we provide (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by the following Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you") and FazBrowse, its owners, operators, administrators, moderators, contractors, and affiliates (collectively, "FazBrowse," "we," "us," "our").
1. Acceptance of Terms
By using FazBrowse, you affirm that:
- You are at least 18 years of age, OR you are at least 13 years of age and are accessing the Services under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
- Certain subforums, channels, or sections of the Services are restricted to users 18 years of age or older ("Adult Sections"). By accessing any Adult Section, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. FazBrowse may, but is under no obligation to, implement age-verification measures, and you agree that self-certification of age constitutes a binding representation.
- You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts under the laws of your jurisdiction.
- If you are using FazBrowse on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have full authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" shall refer to both you individually and that organization.
- All information you provide during registration or use of the Services is accurate, current, and complete, and you will maintain the accuracy of such information.
FazBrowse reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, or restrict access to any person for any reason or no reason, as further described in Section 10.
2. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
2.1 Informal Resolution
Before initiating any formal dispute proceeding, you agree to first contact FazBrowse at the email listed in Section 18 and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for a period of no less than thirty (30) days.
2.2 Binding Arbitration
If a dispute is not resolved informally, you and FazBrowse agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The arbitration shall be administered by a mutually agreed-upon arbitration provider under its rules then in effect, and shall be conducted in [YOUR STATE/COUNTY], in the English language. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
2.3 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver
You and FazBrowse each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or any representative or consolidated proceeding. Claims must be brought in your individual capacity only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
2.4 Severability of This Section
If any portion of this Section 2 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful, that portion shall be severed, and the remainder of this Section shall continue to apply. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) shall proceed in court rather than arbitration, while all other claims remain subject to arbitration.
2.5 Limitation on Claims
Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Services or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or it shall be permanently barred, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.6 Assumption of Risk
You acknowledge that FazBrowse is provided "as is" and "as available," that you use it entirely at your own risk, and that your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the Services is to stop using them.
3. Modifications to Terms and Services
FazBrowse reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify, amend, or replace these Terms at any time, for any reason. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We are not obligated to provide individual notice of changes, and it is your sole responsibility to review these Terms periodically. Your continued use of the Services after any modification constitutes your binding acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to a modification, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Services.
3.1 Changes to the Services
FazBrowse reserves the right, at any time and without notice or liability, to modify, suspend, discontinue, or remove any feature, subforum, channel, or other part of the Services, in whole or in part, for any reason or no reason.

6. Service Availability
FazBrowse may be temporarily or permanently unavailable due to maintenance, updates, technical issues, or factors outside our control. We do not guarantee uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free access to the Services, and we are not liable for any downtime, data loss, or inaccessibility, regardless of cause.
6.1 No Obligation to Store or Back Up Content
FazBrowse has no obligation to store, maintain, or back up any User Content, including videos uploaded to Ftoob or files uploaded elsewhere on the Services.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- The Services and all content are provided "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.

Any information, discussion, or content on the Services, including in forums such as those used for questions or help topics, is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice. You should not rely on any such content as a substitute for consultation with a qualified professional.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
- In no event shall FazBrowse, its owners, operators, affiliates, employees, moderators, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Services.

- This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), and even if FazBrowse has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
- Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you; in such cases, FazBrowse's liability shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.
9. Indemnification

FazBrowse reserves the right, at your expense, to assume exclusive control of the defense of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with FazBrowse's defense.
10. Termination
FazBrowse reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, with or without cause, and without liability of any kind. Grounds for termination may include, without limitation, violation of these Terms, conduct FazBrowse deems harmful to the Services or its users, or extended inactivity. Sections 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 18 shall survive any termination of these Terms.
11. Content Moderation and Third-Party Content
FazBrowse allows users to post content and does not pre-screen all User Content.
