These terms set out the deal between you and OurWorld. We’ve kept them plain and honest — the same way we try to run the platform.
By using OurWorld, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don’t agree with them, please don’t use the platform. These terms work alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your information.
OurWorld is a trading name of Peter Sanford, an individual based in the United Kingdom.
You must be 16 or older to use OurWorld. By using it, you confirm that you meet this age requirement and that any information you give us when signing up is accurate.
OurWorld is a platform for civic discussion and community participation — sharing opinions, discussing issues, and taking part in referendum-style votes on questions of public interest.
You’re responsible for keeping your account secure and for activity that happens under it. Please use accurate information, keep one account per person, and let us know if you think someone else has accessed your account.
You keep ownership of everything you post on OurWorld. By posting, you give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store and display your content within the platform so the service can work — for example, showing your opinion in the public feed.
You’re responsible for what you post, and you confirm you have the right to post it. Remember that opinions, shares and replies are public and visible to anyone who uses OurWorld.
OurWorld is built for honest, good-faith debate. You agree not to:
OurWorld uses automated word-filtering to screen out clearly abusive content, but this doesn’t replace your responsibility to follow these rules.
We may remove content, or suspend or close accounts, that breach these terms or that we reasonably believe are harmful to the community. Wherever practical we’ll act fairly and proportionately.
OurWorld includes an AI chat assistant. Its responses are generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. They are for general information only and are not legal, financial, medical or professional advice. Always check anything important with a qualified source before relying on it.
OurWorld uses other services to provide certain features — including live video discussion (Daily.co) and embedded short videos (YouTube). Your use of those features may also be governed by the relevant provider’s own terms, and we aren’t responsible for third-party content or services.
OurWorld is an independent, self-funded project and is provided “as is” and “as available”. We don’t guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted, or free of errors, and we may change, suspend or discontinue features at any time.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, OurWorld is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss arising from your use of (or inability to use) the platform, from content posted by other users, or from third-party services. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under UK law.
We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date above. By continuing to use OurWorld after a change, you accept the updated terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
