Content Ownership
When you create or share artwork, photos, and other content on Layo, it's essential to understand the ownership dynamics. Users retain ownership of the content they produce and share on the app. However, by uploading, posting, or sharing content on Layo, you grant Layover LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, display, reproduce, modify, and distribute your content in connection with the app's services. This license is solely for the purpose of operating, developing, providing, and improving the app and fostering a creative and interconnected community. Please note that all content shared by users within the app becomes public domain, meaning it can be freely used and shared by others without specific permission.
Prohibited Activities
Layo is committed to maintaining a respectful and safe environment. As such, the app prohibits:
Sharing nude photographs or any sexually explicit content.
Depicting or promoting violence, cruelty, harassment, or hate speech.
Engaging in activities that promote illegal behavior or contravene local, state, national, or international laws.
Distributing spam, malicious software, or other harmful codes or content.
Attempting to impersonate another person or misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity.
Violating these rules can lead to content removal, account suspension, or even termination, depending on the severity of the infraction.
Dispute Resolution
In the event of a dispute arising between users or between a user and Layover LLC, we aim to resolve such issues swiftly and amicably. Users are encouraged to report any concerns or disputes to Layover LLC via the app or the website. We typically use arbitration as the first line of resolution, seeking to understand all sides of the issue and mediating to find a satisfactory resolution. However, if the dispute cannot be resolved through arbitration, it may be escalated to the appropriate legal authorities or courts, subject to the jurisdiction and laws applicable.
Account Termination
A user's account may be terminated under several circumstances, including, but not limited to, repeated violations of our Terms and Conditions, engaging in prohibited activities, or at the user's own request. If an account is flagged for potential termination, Layover LLC will review the case, considering any relevant evidence and the user's history. Users have the opportunity to appeal termination decisions by contacting Layover LLC with a detailed explanation of their case. However, the decision to reinstate an account is at the sole discretion of Layover LLC, based on the evidence and the nature of the violation.
Inactive or Abandoned Accounts
Layover LLC reserves the right to terminate and remove data for accounts that have been inactive or “abandoned” for a period not less than six months. Users will be notified via the email associated with their account prior to such termination, providing an opportunity to reactivate the account and preserve their data. If no action is taken within the specified period, the account and its data may be permanently deleted.

The accuracy, completeness, or truthfulness of the information provided by users on the app.
Any unauthorized access to or use of our servers and/or any personal information stored therein.

We encourage you to regularly review the Terms and Conditions to stay informed about your rights and responsibilities.
Intellectual Property
While Layover LLC does not claim ownership of the content that users generate and share on Layo, it's important to recognize that the app itself, including its design, interface, code, and underlying technology, is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights. These rights are owned by or licensed to Layover LLC. Unauthorized use of any Layover LLC's intellectual property may lead to legal action.
Safety and Offline Interactions
Layo encourages users to interact positively, both online and offline.

We urge users to exercise caution and good judgment in their offline engagements. In situations where law enforcement involvement is necessary, Layover LLC will cooperate with the authorities to provide any required assistance or information.
Compliance with Laws
Users of Layo are expected to comply with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws while using the app. While Layover LLC promotes a culture of respect and legality, we acknowledge that monitoring and enforcing compliance is largely dependent on the honor system and community moderation. Users are responsible for ensuring that their conduct on the app aligns with these legal standards.
Age Verification
Layo requires all users to be 18 years of age or older. However, the app relies on an honor system for age verification, without the need for formal identification. By using the app, users affirm that they meet the age requirement, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and safety of the Layo community.
