Terms of Service

Last updated: September 2026

These terms govern your use of Every Block Has a Story (the "site"). By creating an account, posting a story, or otherwise using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Your Account

You need an account to post a story, like, comment, save, or follow. You're responsible for keeping your login secure and for anything that happens under your account. Provide accurate information when you sign up.

Posting Eligibility

Posting a story requires verifying that you've purchased an Every Block Has a Story product, matched against our Shopify order records. This keeps the community tied to real supporters of the project. Browsing, liking, saving, commenting, and following don't require a purchase.

Your Content

You keep ownership of the videos, photos, and text you post. By posting, you grant Every Block Has a Story a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, display, and distribute that content on the site (and in promotional material about the site) for as long as it remains posted. You're responsible for making sure you have the rights to anything you upload.

Content Guidelines

Stories should be genuine, on-topic accounts of a block, neighborhood, city, or community. You agree not to post content that:

  • Contains nudity, sexual content, graphic violence, or gore.
  • Contains hate speech, harassment, or targets a person or group.
  • Is spam, an unrelated advertisement, or low-effort/junk content.
  • Is unrelated to sharing a real neighborhood or community story.
  • Impersonates another person or misrepresents your identity or location.
  • Infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, or other rights.
  • Is illegal, or promotes illegal activity.

This applies to videos, captions, titles, comments, bios, profile photos, and banners alike.

Content Review & Removal

Newly posted videos and profile photos are automatically screened by an AI system, and may also be reviewed by our team, before or after appearing publicly. We may remove any content, or suspend or terminate any account, that we believe violates these terms — with or without notice.

Reporting

If you see content that you believe violates these terms, please report it or contact us through the Contact page.

Purchases

Physical products are sold through our Shopify store and are subject to Shopify's own terms and the payment processor's terms. Every Block Has a Story doesn't directly process or store your payment information.

Intellectual Property

The Every Block Has a Story name, logo, and site design belong to us. Nothing in these terms gives you rights to use our branding without permission.

Disclaimer

The site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee the site will always be available, error-free, or that any particular piece of content will remain posted.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Every Block Has a Story isn't liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site.

Termination

You can stop using the site and request account deletion at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as the site evolves. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
