<div class="prose prose-blue max-w-none text-gray-700">
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold mt-6 mb-4">1. The Agreement</h2>
<p class="mb-4">By accessing Sojorn ("the Service"), you acknowledge that you are entering a space
dedicated to respect, safety, and progressive action. These Terms of Service constitute a binding
agreement between you and MPLS LLC. We prioritize the safety of our community above all else.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold mt-6 mb-4">2. Zero Tolerance Policy</h2>
<p class="mb-4">We do not tolerate intolerance. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia,
ableism, and fascist ideologies are strictly prohibited. Violations will result in immediate and
permanent account suspension.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold mt-6 mb-4">3. No Misinformation</h2>
<p class="mb-4">We reject the spread of verifiable falsehoods, conspiracy theories, and coordinated
disinformation campaigns. Posting content designed to deceive or manipulate will result in account
termination.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold mt-6 mb-4">4. Content Ownership and Sanctuary</h2>
<p class="mb-4">This section replaces the broad content licenses found in conventional social media Terms of
Service. We believe your work belongs to you — always.</p>
<h3 class="text-lg font-bold mt-4 mb-2">4.1 Ownership</h3>
<p class="mb-4"><strong>You retain 100% copyright and all intellectual property rights</strong> to every
piece of content you create on Sojorn. We claim no ownership over your words, images, audio, video, or
any other creative work.</p>
<h3 class="text-lg font-bold mt-4 mb-2">4.2 Limited Technical License</h3>
<p class="mb-4">By posting content, you grant MPLS LLC a <strong>non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide
license solely for the technical purpose of hosting, displaying, and transmitting your
content</strong> to the audience you designate within Sojorn.</p>
<h3 class="text-lg font-bold mt-4 mb-2">4.3 Immediate Revocation</h3>
<p class="mb-4">This technical license <strong>expires immediately and irrevocably upon deletion</strong> of
the content by you. We do not retain shadow copies, hidden archives, or "soft-deleted" records.</p>
<h3 class="text-lg font-bold mt-4 mb-2">4.4 Anti-Extraction Covenant</h3>
<p class="mb-4">MPLS LLC <strong>will never</strong> use your content to train AI models, sell your content
to third parties, mine your content for advertising profiles, or index your content on public search
engines without your explicit opt-in.</p>
<h3 class="text-lg font-bold mt-4 mb-2">4.5 Right to Livelihood</h3>
<p class="mb-4">If MPLS LLC ever wishes to use your content for promotional purposes, we must contact you
directly, offer financial compensation, and receive your explicit written consent. No blanket consent is
granted by agreeing to these Terms.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold mt-6 mb-4">5. Your Right to Vanish</h2>
<p class="mb-4">You have the absolute right to delete your account and all associated data at any time. When
you leave, you leave. We perform hard deletes — your profile, posts, comments, media files, and metadata
are permanently removed from our systems.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold mt-6 mb-4">6. End-to-End Encryption</h2>
<p class="mb-4">Private messages and encrypted capsule content are protected by end-to-end encryption (E2EE)
using keys generated on your device. MPLS LLC has no ability to decrypt, read, or access this
content.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold mt-6 mb-4">7. AI Moderation Transparency</h2>
<p class="mb-4">We use artificial intelligence to assist with content moderation. This AI moderation operates
only on public content, does not analyze private encrypted messages, is subject to human review, and
provides a full audit trail. You may appeal any AI moderation decision through our in-app appeal
process.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold mt-6 mb-4">8. Community Safety Beacons</h2>
<p class="mb-4">Sojorn includes a community safety feature ("Beacons") that allows users to report
real-world safety incidents with location data. Location data is not stored permanently and is not sold
to third parties.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold mt-6 mb-4">9. Age Requirement</h2>
<p class="mb-4">You must be at least 16 years of age to use Sojorn.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold mt-6 mb-4">10. Liability</h2>
<p class="mb-4">MPLS LLC provides this Service "as is." We are not liable for interactions that occur between
users, though we commit to active moderation to maintain community safety.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold mt-6 mb-4">11. Governing Law</h2>
<p class="mb-4">These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, United States.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold mt-6 mb-4">12. Changes to These Terms</h2>
<p class="mb-4">We will notify registered users via email and in-app notification of any material changes to
these Terms at least 30 days before they take effect.</p>
