In addition to providing public access to user-submitted artwork, images, videos, and AI-generated media, the Platform supports research into artificial intelligence, generative media, content classification, tagging systems, and related technologies.
The Platform may offer user accounts, content submissions, tagging, search functionality, content filtering, commenting, and related features.
MakeFox may modify, suspend, discontinue, or restrict Platform features or services at its discretion, subject to applicable law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, permanent storage, or continued access to any particular content or functionality.

4.1 Platform Intellectual Property
Except for User Content and third-party materials, the Platform's software, design, branding, documentation, and other proprietary elements belong to MakeFox or its licensors.
We grant users a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Platform in accordance with these Terms.
This license does not transfer ownership of Platform intellectual property.
4.2 User Content
"User Content" means any images, videos, artwork, text, metadata, tags, descriptions, comments, or other materials submitted to the Platform.
Users retain whatever intellectual property rights they lawfully possess in their User Content.
Submitting content does not transfer copyright ownership to MakeFox.
However, submission grants MakeFox the license described below.
4.3 License to User Content
By submitting User Content, you grant MakeFox Group, Inc. a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, host, store, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, transmit, modify, adapt, translate, index, classify, and create derivative works from that content.

MakeFox may voluntarily remove content from public availability upon request but is not contractually obligated to relinquish rights previously granted under this license.
The license extends only to rights the submitting user lawfully possesses or is authorized to grant. It does not create rights in material that is otherwise unprotected or owned by another party.

MakeFox does not represent that AI-generated content is necessarily eligible for copyright protection or that every submission is free from third-party rights.
Users are responsible for determining whether they possess sufficient rights to submit and license their materials.
Nothing in these Terms constitutes a determination of copyright ownership, authorship, or infringement.

16. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
The Platform is operated under the authority of MakeFox Group, Inc., a Texas-based organization.
Unless a dispute is subject to arbitration or applicable law requires otherwise, proceedings arising from these Terms shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction serving Lubbock County, Texas.
The parties consent to the jurisdiction of those courts to the extent permitted by law.
17. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
17.1 Informal Resolution
Before initiating formal proceedings, either party must provide written notice describing the dispute and requested relief.
The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for at least thirty days after receipt of notice.
Notices to MakeFox may be sent to:
MakeFox Group, Inc.
PO Box 277
Slaton, TX 79364
A user may also contact management@blep.art to initiate informal dispute resolution.
17.2 Binding Arbitration
For users located in the United States or Canada, disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration, except where applicable law prohibits arbitration or permits an exception.
Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms where legally permissible.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.
Arbitration may be conducted remotely where permitted by the applicable rules.
The arbitrator may award relief available under applicable law.
17.3 Class-Action Waiver
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND MAKEFOX AGREE THAT DISPUTES SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY, NOT THROUGH CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
Neither party may participate as a class representative or class member in an arbitrable dispute.
If this waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim or form of relief, that issue shall be addressed in accordance with applicable law.
17.4 Exceptions
Either party may bring an eligible claim in small-claims court.
Nothing in these Terms prevents a party from seeking relief that cannot lawfully be subjected to arbitration.
The arbitration agreement does not restrict the authority of government regulators or law-enforcement agencies.
17.5 Users Outside the United States and Canada
For users outside the United States and Canada, disputes not otherwise subject to mandatory arbitration shall be resolved in the state or federal courts serving Lubbock County, Texas, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Mandatory consumer protections applicable in a user's jurisdiction remain unaffected where they cannot lawfully be waived.
18. Time Limits for Claims
To the extent permitted by applicable law, contractual claims arising under these Terms must be initiated within one year after the claim accrues.
This provision does not shorten a statutory limitation period where doing so is prohibited by law or interfere with nonwaivable legal rights.
19. International Access
MakeFox operates the Platform from the United States.
We do not represent that all Platform content or functionality is lawful or appropriate in every jurisdiction.
Users accessing the Platform from other jurisdictions are responsible for complying with applicable local laws.
MakeFox may restrict access in particular locations to comply with legal obligations or reduce operational risks.
20. Changes to These Terms
MakeFox may revise these Terms to reflect changes in law, Platform functionality, or operational requirements.
The current version will be published on the Platform with its effective date.
Where reasonably practicable, we will provide advance notice of material changes through the Platform or registered users' contact information.
Material changes will apply prospectively unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Continued use after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.
Changes requiring affirmative consent will not become binding without that consent.
21. Termination
You may discontinue using the Platform at any time.
MakeFox may suspend or terminate access in accordance with these Terms.
Termination does not affect accrued rights, outstanding obligations, or provisions intended to survive termination.
Surviving provisions include intellectual property licenses, indemnification, limitations of liability, dispute resolution, and other provisions that by their nature remain applicable.
22. General Provisions
Severability
If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.
No Waiver
Failure to enforce a provision does not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
Assignment
You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without MakeFox's written consent.
MakeFox may assign these Terms in connection with a lawful transfer, restructuring, or succession of its operations, subject to applicable law.
Entire Agreement
