terms of service

effective july 29, 2026

The plain-English version: this is your space, on our platform. Be 18+, keep what you put here legal and yours to share, don’t wreck the place for others. What you create belongs to you.

the agreement

These terms are between you and “space of my own” (“SOMO”, “we”, “us”), operator of spaceofmyown.com. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them and to the privacy policy. If you don’t agree, don’t use SOMO.

eligibility

You must be 18 years of age or older to create an account or use SOMO. By creating an account you represent that you are 18 or older. If we learn that an account holder is under 18, we will close the account and delete its data.

your account

Accounts are personal — one real person each, signed in with a real Google account. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Don’t impersonate others, and don’t transfer or sell your account or space.

your content

Everything you place in your space — photos, videos, music picks, text, designs — remains yours. You give us only the license we need to operate: to host, store, display, and transmit your content so your space renders for you and for the people you share it with. That license ends when you delete the content or your account.

You are responsible for having the rights to what you upload. If you believe content on SOMO infringes your copyright, email [email protected] with the location of the material and proof of ownership, and we will take infringing uploads down.

acceptable use

Don’t use SOMO to:

break the law, or post content that does;
harass, threaten, or target other people, on the platform or off it;
post sexually explicit content;
upload content involving minors, or misrepresent your age to be here;
scrape the platform, spam it, probe its security, or interfere with its operation;
upload malware or content designed to harm visitors.

We may remove content or close accounts that violate these terms. For anything involving safety or minors, we act fast and without warning.

youtube

SOMO’s optional YouTube features use YouTube API Services. By connecting your YouTube account you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. What we access and store is described in our privacy policy, and you can disconnect at any time.

the service

SOMO is provided “as is.” We work hard to keep it up and to keep your things safe, but we can’t promise uninterrupted service or that nothing will ever be lost — keep copies of anything irreplaceable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, and our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us in the past twelve months (today, that’s zero — SOMO is free).

ending things

You can leave any time — delete your account and your data goes with it. We can suspend or close accounts that violate these terms. If a part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still stands.

governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

changes

If these terms materially change, we’ll post the new version here with a new effective date. Continuing to use SOMO after a change means you accept it.
