Terms of Use

Updated: March 11, 2026

Introduction

Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully before using the websites, hosted services, and software ("Services") provided by Free Cattle, Inc. ("Free Cattle," "we," or "us"). Our Services include our website, Polyupload, RealtimeDraw, and related open-source software. By accessing and using our Services, you accept these Terms.

Agreement

By accessing our websites or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and agree that you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ACCESS OR USE OUR SERVICES.

Open-Source Software

Some of our Services, including Polyupload and RealtimeDraw, are released as open-source software. You may run, modify, and distribute this software under the terms of its license. These Terms govern your use of instances operated by Free Cattle (such as Polyupload and RealtimeDraw). If you run the software yourself or use a third-party instance, that operator's terms apply.

User Responsibilities and Eligibility

Free Cattle provides Services that include hosted services and open-source software. You are responsible for using these Services appropriately, securing your wallet and private keys (for Polyupload), managing any encryption keys (for RealtimeDraw), and protecting any credentials or access details. The complexity and security of any encryption keys you use are solely your responsibility. Any damages or costs resulting from unauthorized use, loss, or exposure of this information are your responsibility. We disclaim liability for such incidents.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.

User Conduct and Compliance

Free Cattle is not liable for damages or losses due to misuse of our Services. Misuse can include breaking laws, providing incorrect information, unauthorized use, infringing third-party rights, or violating these Terms. Users are responsible for their actions and for complying with applicable laws and regulations.

Acceptable Use

As a user of Free Cattle's Services, you agree not to impersonate another person or upload content that is harmful, inflammatory, explicit, defamatory, libelous, or infringing on another person's rights. Any violation of these guidelines could result in legal repercussions.

For Polyupload, content is stored on Arweave's decentralized storage network and indexed via blockchain. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the right to upload any content and that it complies with applicable laws. If you upload inappropriate, abusive, or prohibited content, we may block your wallet address from our frontend interface. Your data may remain on the decentralized networks, but you will not be able to access or search for it using Polyupload.

For RealtimeDraw, drawing content is stored on our servers and is deleted when cleared by users. Unused rooms may be cleared periodically. While RealtimeDraw content is not permanent, you remain responsible for ensuring your content complies with applicable laws and does not infringe on third-party rights.

In the event of content-related complaints or infringement notices for Polyupload, complainants must contact Arweave directly regarding content stored on its network. Arweave is responsible for handling those requests according to its own policies. We may block wallet addresses associated with content that violates these Terms from our frontend interface. For RealtimeDraw, we may take appropriate action regarding content on our servers. Free Cattle cannot remove content from Arweave's network.

Ownership Rights

You certify that you possess all rights to content you upload through our Services and that such uploads do not breach third-party rights or any private agreements. You are solely responsible for any legal consequences or infringements of intellectual property rights arising from content you upload.

Decentralized Services and Blockchain Transactions

Services like Polyupload interact with decentralized networks, including the Polygon blockchain and Arweave storage. By using these Services, you acknowledge and accept:

  • Blockchain transactions are irreversible once confirmed.
  • Data stored on blockchains and Arweave is permanent and publicly accessible. Encryption protects file contents, but certain metadata may remain visible.
  • Free Cattle does not control and cannot modify or delete data on these networks.
  • Polyupload may display links to content stored on Arweave or other external networks. Free Cattle is not responsible for the content accessible through these links.
  • You are responsible for transaction fees (such as POL for Polygon network fees and Arweave storage costs).
  • The security of your wallet and private keys is your responsibility.
  • Smart contract interactions carry inherent risks.

RealtimeDraw does not use blockchain technology or decentralized storage.

Smart Contracts

Polyupload uses smart contracts deployed on the Polygon blockchain. These smart contracts were developed by Free Cattle but have not been professionally audited. You use these smart contracts entirely at your own risk. Free Cattle is not liable for any losses, damages, or adverse consequences arising from vulnerabilities, bugs, exploits, or any other issues in the smart contract code. By interacting with our smart contracts, you acknowledge that you understand these risks and accept full responsibility for any outcomes.

Real-Time Collaboration Services

Services like RealtimeDraw provide real-time collaboration features. By using these Services, you acknowledge and accept:

  • Drawing data is transmitted to other participants in your room in real time.
  • Room URLs can be shared with others to grant access. Anyone with the URL can join.
  • If you use an encryption key, you are responsible for sharing it securely with intended collaborators and for choosing a sufficiently complex key.
  • Unused rooms may be cleared periodically.
  • We do not guarantee the availability or persistence of drawing data.

Payments and Fees

For services involving blockchain transactions (such as Polyupload), fees are paid directly on the relevant blockchain (e.g., Polygon) or to third-party services used to facilitate storage or network access. Free Cattle does not process these payments. Instead, payments occur directly between you and the relevant networks or services. Compliance with local laws regarding cryptocurrency transactions rests solely with you.

RealtimeDraw is provided free of charge and does not involve payment processing.

Indemnification

You agree to protect Free Cattle, its affiliates, licensors, suppliers, and their respective officials, directors, and employees from any claims or losses, including legal costs, arising from your use of our Services or violation of these Terms.

Service Availability

We strive to keep our Services accurate and reliable. However, we are not liable for malfunctions in our websites, hosted services, or open-source software, or for any resulting damages. We expressly disclaim liability for technical inaccuracies or typographical errors.

For decentralized services, functionality also depends on third-party networks (Polygon, Arweave, etc.), which we do not control. Network congestion, outages, or changes to these networks may affect service availability.

For RealtimeDraw, functionality depends on WebSocket connections and our server infrastructure. Network issues or server maintenance may temporarily affect real-time collaboration features.

Limitation of Liability

Our Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Free Cattle does not control user-uploaded content or data stored on decentralized networks. The use of our Services is at your own risk. We disclaim liability resulting from your use of the Services to the fullest extent permitted by law. Free Cattle and its affiliates are not liable for your use of, or inability to use, our Services, including any losses related to blockchain transactions, wallet security, smart contract vulnerabilities, decentralized storage, or data loss in collaborative sessions.

Service Termination

Free Cattle may terminate your access to hosted Services without prior notice for any breach of these Terms. Data already stored on Arweave or records already created on Polygon may persist on their respective networks regardless of your relationship with Free Cattle. For RealtimeDraw, termination may result in loss of access to stored drawing data. The parties' liabilities and obligations that arose before termination will continue after termination.

Governing Law

This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.

Acceptance of Terms and Changes

By using our Services, you agree to these Terms as presented. We encourage you to revisit this page regularly for updates. Changes to these Terms become effective once they are posted on our website.
