Terms of Use

Version 2.0 — in force from 11 September 2026. This version replaces every earlier version of these terms.

Please read this document before you use Digibitig. It is a binding legal agreement. It limits our liability, places the responsibility for your content on you, and requires you to cover us if your content or conduct causes us loss.

1. Definitions and the documents that bind you

1.1 In this agreement, "Digibitig", "the Platform", "we", "us" and "our" mean the digibitig.com website, its subdomains, its applications and interfaces, and the operator of that service. "You", "your" and "Member" mean any person who accesses or uses the Platform, whether registered or not. "Content" means anything submitted, uploaded, posted, transmitted or displayed through the Platform, including posts, comments, ratings, reports, tags, profile data, images, files, links and messages.

1.2 These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy and the Community Rules, and any notice or policy published on the Platform, form one agreement between you and us (the "Agreement"). Where the documents conflict, these Terms of Use prevail, except on questions of personal data, where the Privacy Policy prevails.

1.3 Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. Words such as "including" are without limitation. A reference to "in writing" includes electronic messages and notices published on the Platform.

2. Acceptance, eligibility and capacity

2.1 You accept this Agreement by creating an account, by signing in, or simply by browsing the Platform. If you do not accept it in full, you must stop using the Platform.

2.2 You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Platform only with the consent and under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts this Agreement on your behalf and is responsible for your use.

2.3 You warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement; that you are not barred from using the Platform under any applicable law, sanctions regime or export control; and that you are not a person whose account we have previously closed for breach.

2.4 If you use the Platform on behalf of an organisation, you warrant that you are authorised to bind it, and "you" includes that organisation.

2.5 Use of the Platform is void where prohibited by local law. You are responsible for complying with the law of the place from which you access the Platform.

3. Changes to this Agreement and to the service

3.1 We may amend this Agreement at any time — for legal, regulatory, security, technical or business reasons. The current version is always the one published on this page, with the date it took effect.

3.2 We will announce material changes on the Platform. We are not obliged to notify you individually, and it is your responsibility to review this page from time to time.

3.3 Continuing to use the Platform after a change takes effect means you accept the amended Agreement. If you do not accept it, your sole and exclusive remedy is to stop using the Platform and delete your account.

3.4 We may add, change, limit, suspend or discontinue any feature, and the Platform as a whole, at any time, with or without notice, without liability to you.

4. Your account

4.1 Registration details must be accurate, current and complete, and you must keep them up to date. You must confirm your email address before you can post or comment.

4.2 You are solely responsible for keeping your password and any access token confidential, and for everything done through your account, whether or not you authorised it. We are not liable for any loss arising from your failure to secure your credentials or your device.

4.3 Accounts are personal. You may not share, sell, rent, lend, transfer or assign an account, or allow anyone else to use it.

4.4 One account per person. Additional, duplicate or automated accounts — in particular accounts used to evade a restriction, to manipulate ratings, or to simulate agreement — are a breach of this Agreement, and we may remove all accounts connected to the conduct.

4.5 You must notify us immediately through the contact page if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

4.6 We may refuse, change or reclaim a username that impersonates another person, infringes a trademark, is offensive, is reserved for the Platform, or is being held without use.

4.7 We may require you to re-confirm your identity, email address or ownership of the account before restoring access or acting on a request.

5. Licence to use the Platform

5.1 Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable licence to access and use the Platform for its intended purpose.

5.2 No other right is granted. The Platform software, design, structure, database, trade marks, logos, layout and the compilation of all Content remain our property or that of our licensors, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved.

6. Your Content: ownership and the licence you grant us

6.1 You keep ownership of your Content. This Agreement transfers no ownership to us.

6.2 By submitting Content you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable and sublicensable licence to host, store, cache, reproduce, back up, adapt, reformat, translate, excerpt, summarise, index, publish, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and otherwise make available your Content, in whole or in part, in any medium and by any technical means now known or later developed, for the purposes of operating, securing, promoting and improving the Platform — including in page previews, search results, listings, feeds, newsletters, social media previews and other material that presents the Platform.

6.3 This licence lasts for as long as your Content is on the Platform and, to the extent that the Content has already been displayed, quoted, shared, cached, indexed or archived, it continues after removal of the Content or closure of your account. It is irrevocable to that extent, because we cannot recall what third parties have already received.

6.4 You also grant every other Member a non-exclusive licence to access your Content on the Platform, and to quote it with attribution in accordance with the Community Rules.

6.5 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you waive — and agree not to assert against us, our successors, our licensees or the Members — any moral rights or rights of attribution and integrity in your Content, so that we can format, translate, excerpt and display it without a claim arising.

6.6 We are under no obligation to publish, keep, store, back up, monitor, return or restore any Content. Keep your own copy of anything you would not want to lose.

6.7 Feedback. If you send us an idea, suggestion, feature request or other feedback, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use and exploit it for any purpose without compensation, attribution or confidentiality obligation.

7. What you promise about your Content

Each time you submit Content you represent and warrant that:

• you are its sole author, or you hold every right, licence, consent and permission required to submit it and to grant the licence in section 6;
• it does not infringe any copyright, trade mark, patent, trade secret, moral right, right of privacy, right of publicity, confidentiality obligation or any other right of any person;
• it contains no personal data of any other person for which you have no lawful basis and no consent;
• it breaches no duty you owe to an employer, client or third party, and discloses no confidential, proprietary, classified or export-controlled information;
• it is lawful where you are located, and it is not unlawful in the places where it is likely to be read;
• it does not fall into any category listed in section 9;
• it is not false, misleading or presented with the intention of deceiving readers.

You are solely and exclusively responsible for your Content and for all consequences of submitting it, including any claim brought by a third party.

8. Your Content is public

8.1 Everything you post — including your profile — is public by default. It can be read by anyone, with or without an account, and it is indexed by search engines.

8.2 Third parties can copy, quote, translate, screenshot, cache and archive your Content the moment it is published. Deleting it here does not delete those copies, and we have no control over them and no liability for them.

8.3 Do not post anything confidential, secret, embarrassing or sensitive, and do not post personal data — yours or anyone else's — that you would not want a stranger to read years from now.

9. Prohibited Content

9.1 The Platform is openly accessible to readers of any age, in many countries, and we operate no age verification. For that reason the subjects below are prohibited outright rather than merely restricted to adults. The prohibition applies to every form of Content — post, comment, tag, image, file, link, username, profile text or attachment — and applies whether the Content is offering, seeking, recommending, reviewing, comparing, teaching, glamorising or merely making available.

9.2 Alcohol, tobacco and other age-restricted products

• Prostitution, escort, "sugar" and companionship solicitation, sexual services offered or sought, and adult-industry recruitment.
• Any sexualised depiction, description or solicitation involving a minor is met with zero tolerance: the account is closed permanently and without notice, the material and the associated technical records are preserved as evidence, and the matter is referred to the competent authorities. No appeal is available.

9.7 Hatred, violence, extremism and harassment

• Content attacking, dehumanising, degrading or inciting hostility against a person or group by reference to race, ethnicity, national origin, language, religion, disability, illness, age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital or social status.
• Threats of violence, incitement to violence, celebration or endorsement of violent acts, and calls for harm against any person or place.
• Terrorism and violent extremism: propaganda, recruitment, financing, instruction, symbols, manifestos, and the glorification of perpetrators or their acts.
• Harassment, bullying, stalking, sexual harassment, coordinated pile-ons, brigading, and the persistent unwanted contacting of a Member who has asked you to stop.
• Doxxing: publishing or threatening to publish another person home or work address, telephone number, identity or travel document, financial data, medical data, private correspondence, live location or any other information enabling them to be found, contacted or impersonated.

9.8 Self-harm

• Encouragement, instruction, method sharing, challenge participation or glorification concerning suicide, self-injury or disordered eating. We may remove such Content, restrict the account, and where appropriate direct the Member to support resources.

9.13 Commercial abuse and spam

• Unsolicited bulk posting or messaging, repeated posting of the same or substantially similar Content, keyword stuffing, and mass low-value Content produced to inflate presence or reputation.
• Unsolicited recruitment, sales outreach and lead generation directed at Members.
• Using the Platform principally to drive traffic elsewhere rather than to answer the question at hand.

9.14 Intellectual property of others

• Copying text, images, code, translations, courses or documentation without holding the necessary rights; reproducing paywalled or subscription material; publishing leaked corporate or governmental material.
• Using another party trade marks, names or branding in a way that suggests affiliation or endorsement that does not exist.

9.15 Catch-all

Also prohibited is any Content that is unlawful in the Republic of Azerbaijan, unlawful where you are located, or unlawful where it is likely to be read; and any Content that we reasonably consider harmful to the Platform, to its Members, to a third party, or to our reputation — whether or not it is expressly listed above. The list in this section is illustrative, not exhaustive.

9.16 Narrow contextual exception

A neutral, factual mention of a subject in sections 9.2 to 9.4 may be permitted in a genuine educational, scientific, historical, journalistic, legal, medical or harm-reduction context, provided that it contains no brand or product promotion, no source, supplier, price or acquisition information, no practical instruction, and no encouragement. Whether a given item falls inside this exception is decided by our moderators at their discretion, and their assessment governs.

10. Prohibited conduct

In addition to section 9, you must not:

• access the Platform by automated means — crawling, scraping, harvesting, bulk downloading or systematic copying — beyond what robots.txt expressly permits, or use, sell or redistribute Platform data as a dataset;
• use the Platform Content to train, fine-tune, evaluate or ground any machine-learning or generative model without our prior written permission;
• copy, reproduce or republish a substantial part of the Platform or its database elsewhere;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any part of the Platform, or attempt to derive its source code, except where such a restriction is prohibited by law;
• probe, scan, stress-test, penetration-test or otherwise test the security of the Platform without our prior written authorisation;
• interfere with the Platform or its infrastructure, impose an unreasonable load on it, or circumvent rate limits, access restrictions, filters, blocks or bans;
• use bots, scripts, macros or automation to post, vote, rate, report, register or message;
• manipulate ratings, rankings, reputation or visibility by any means, including reciprocal or purchased engagement;
• access another Member account, or attempt to obtain their credentials;
• remove, obscure or alter any notice of ownership, authorship or rights displayed on the Platform;
• use the Platform to send unsolicited commercial communications, or in breach of any applicable law.

11. Reporting Content

11.1 Content that appears to breach this Agreement should be reported using the report function, with a clear reason. Legal complaints — copyright, defamation, privacy, unlawful content — should be sent through the contact page with enough detail to identify the Content and the ground of the complaint.

11.2 We review reports in the order and manner we consider appropriate. We give no undertaking as to response time or outcome, and the fact that Content remains online is not a decision that it complies with this Agreement.

11.3 Knowingly false, abusive or automated reporting is itself a breach of this Agreement.

12. Copyright complaints and repeat infringers

12.1 A copyright complaint must contain: identification of the protected work; the exact address of the Content complained of; your name and contact details; a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent or the law; a statement that the information is accurate; and a statement that you are the rights holder or authorised to act on their behalf.

12.2 We remove or disable access to Content that is the subject of a valid complaint, and we notify the Member who posted it. That Member may submit a counter-statement; where a counter-statement is submitted, we may restore the Content unless the complainant initiates legal proceedings.

12.3 We close the accounts of Members who repeatedly infringe the rights of others.

12.4 A person who knowingly makes a false complaint or counter-statement is responsible for the damage that results, including our costs.

13. Moderation, sanctions and appeals

13.1 Content is published immediately and reviewed afterwards. We do not pre-screen Content, and we assume no general obligation to monitor what is posted or to seek out unlawful activity.

13.2 We may, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, and with no obligation to give reasons: remove, hide, edit, unpublish, de-index, re-categorise, lock or limit the visibility of any Content; withdraw a badge; restrict posting, commenting, rating or messaging; suspend an account; or close an account permanently.

13.3 Sanctions are chosen according to the seriousness, the intent and the history of the Member. Serious cases — unlawful Content, threats, sexual content involving minors, attacks on the Platform, coordinated manipulation — are acted on immediately and permanently, without warning.

13.4 We are not obliged to restore removed Content or a closed account, and we have no obligation to preserve removed Content for you. We may retain a copy of removed Content and the associated records for evidentiary, security and legal purposes.

13.5 You may appeal once, through the contact page, within 14 days of the decision. We consider appeals in good faith, but we may decline to explain our reasoning in detail where doing so would help others evade our safeguards. The outcome of the appeal is final.

13.6 No compensation, refund, credit or damages are payable for Content removed, an account restricted or closed, or reputation or visibility lost as a result of a moderation decision.

13.7 Evading a restriction — through a new account, a shared account or any other means — is a separate and serious breach.

14. Our role: a technical host

14.1 Digibitig is a neutral technical intermediary that stores and displays Content submitted by Members. We are not the author, publisher, editor or endorser of Member Content, and Member Content does not represent our views.

14.2 We do not verify the truth, accuracy, legality, completeness or quality of Content, nor the identity, qualifications, statements or intentions of any Member — including Members who carry a verified badge, which confirms identity only.

14.3 We rely, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, on the liability exemptions available to hosting and intermediary service providers. We act upon obtaining actual knowledge of unlawful Content; acting on one item does not make us responsible for reviewing everything else.

14.4 Voluntary measures we take to keep the Platform safe — filtering, moderation, blocked keywords — do not make us the author of Content and do not create any obligation to detect or remove any particular item.

15. No professional advice, no reliance

15.1 Content on the Platform is general information and personal opinion. It is not legal, medical, psychological, financial, investment, tax, accounting, engineering, construction, safety or security advice, and it must not be treated as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your circumstances.

15.2 No advisory, fiduciary, professional or contractual relationship arises between you and us, or between you and any Member, from the use of the Platform.

15.3 You act on Content at your own risk and on your own judgement. Verify anything material independently before relying on it. Test any code, command, configuration or security guidance in a safe environment before applying it to a live system, and keep backups.

15.4 We accept no responsibility for any decision taken, action performed, loss suffered or damage caused as a result of Content published on the Platform.

16. The verification badge (paid service)

16.1 The verified badge is an optional paid service that confirms that the identity documents supplied match the account holder. It grants no additional rights, permissions, authority or standing, and it is not an endorsement of any Member competence, honesty or Content.

16.2 The fee is payable for the carrying out of the check, not for a particular outcome. Where an application is refused because documents are illegible, inconsistent, expired, altered or cannot be confirmed, the service has been performed and the fee is not refundable.

16.3 By requesting the check you ask us to begin performance immediately and, to the extent permitted by applicable consumer law, you acknowledge that any statutory right of withdrawal is lost once the check has been carried out. Mandatory consumer rights that cannot be excluded remain unaffected.

16.4 The badge is personal, non-transferable, valid for the period stated at purchase, and it does not renew automatically unless stated. It is withdrawn without refund if the account breaches this Agreement, if the underlying documents prove false, or if the account is closed.

16.5 Payments are handled by an external payment provider under its own terms. Prices may change; the price applicable is the one displayed at the time of purchase. Fees are exclusive of any tax that you are required to pay. Initiating a chargeback instead of contacting us may result in immediate suspension pending resolution.

17. Third-party links and services

Links and references to third-party sites, products or services are provided for convenience. We do not control them, do not endorse them, and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, pricing, privacy practices or conduct. Use them at your own risk and under their own terms.

18. Availability, data and backups

18.1 The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available", with no service-level commitment. Interruptions occur for maintenance, upgrades, faults, attacks, third-party failures and events beyond our control.

18.2 We may release features on an experimental or beta basis; those may change or be withdrawn at any time.

18.3 We keep backups for operational purposes, but we do not guarantee that any Content, message, image or account can be recovered. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of Content that matters to you.

19. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, conditions, representations and terms of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free or free of harmful components; that defects will be corrected; that Content is accurate, complete, current, lawful or reliable; or that any result will be obtained from using the Platform.

20. Limitation of liability

20.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we, together with our owners, directors, officers, employees, moderators, contractors, suppliers and agents, are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, or for any loss of profit, revenue, business, contracts, data, goodwill, reputation, opportunity or anticipated savings, however caused and on any theory of liability, even if we were advised of the possibility.

20.2 We are further not liable for: Content published by Members; the conduct of any Member, on or off the Platform; any transaction, meeting, engagement or arrangement between Members; a moderation decision taken or not taken; the removal, loss, corruption or non-availability of Content or an account; unauthorised access to your account or data resulting from causes outside our reasonable control; interruption or discontinuation of the Platform; or the acts and omissions of third-party providers.

20.3 Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Platform, for all claims taken together, is limited to the greater of the amounts you actually paid us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or fifty (50) euros.

20.4 Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If your jurisdiction does not allow certain exclusions or limitations, those exclusions and limitations apply to the fullest extent that jurisdiction permits, and the remainder stays in force.

20.5 To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Platform must be brought within one (1) year of the date on which the claim arose; after that period the claim is permanently barred.

21. Indemnity

21.1 You will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Digibitig, its owners, directors, officers, employees, moderators, contractors, suppliers and agents against all claims, demands, proceedings, investigations, damages, losses, liabilities, fines, penalties, settlements, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: your Content; your use of the Platform; your breach of this Agreement or of any law; your infringement of the rights of any third party; or any misrepresentation you make.

21.2 We may assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter subject to indemnification, at your expense, and you will cooperate with that defence. You may not settle any matter in a way that imposes an obligation or admission on us without our prior written consent.

21.3 This obligation survives the closure of your account and the termination of this Agreement.

22. Suspension and termination

22.1 You may end this Agreement at any time by deleting your account in your account settings.

22.2 We may suspend or terminate your access, in whole or in part, immediately and with or without notice, where: you breach or we reasonably suspect you of breaching this Agreement; your conduct creates risk or legal exposure for us, for a Member or for a third party; we are required to do so by law or by a competent authority; your account has been inactive for an extended period; or we cease to operate the Platform or the relevant feature.

22.3 On termination your licence to use the Platform ends at once. We may remove or anonymise your Content, and we may retain records where retention is required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, to enforce this Agreement, or to prevent abuse. No refund or compensation is payable except where applicable law requires it.

22.4 Sections 1, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13.4, 13.6, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24 and 25, and any other provision which by its nature should survive, remain in force after termination.

23. Legal process, authorities and disclosure

23.1 We cooperate with competent authorities and comply with lawful orders, requests and court decisions.

23.2 We may access, preserve and disclose account information, Content and technical records — including IP addresses, sign-in records and device information — where we believe in good faith that it is necessary to comply with the law, to enforce this Agreement, to investigate suspected fraud, abuse or a security incident, to protect the rights, property or safety of Digibitig, our Members or the public, or to respond to an emergency involving a risk of serious harm.

23.3 We may report suspected criminal conduct on our own initiative and provide the relevant material with it.

23.4 Where we are lawfully able and it is appropriate, we may inform the affected Member; we are not obliged to do so, and we will not do so where notice is prohibited or would frustrate an investigation.

24. Governing law, disputes and jurisdiction

24.1 This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or in connection with it, including non-contractual disputes, are governed by the law of the Republic of Azerbaijan, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

24.2 Informal resolution first. Before starting proceedings, you agree to send us a written description of the dispute and the relief you seek through the contact page, and to allow thirty (30) days for a good-faith resolution.

24.3 The courts of the city of Baku, Republic of Azerbaijan, have exclusive jurisdiction, and you waive any objection to that venue on grounds of inconvenience or otherwise.

24.4 Where you use the Platform as a consumer, the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of habitual residence that cannot be derogated from by agreement remain unaffected, and you may also be able to bring proceedings in the courts of that country.

24.5 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, disputes are resolved on an individual basis only. You agree not to bring or participate in any class, collective, consolidated or representative action against us. If this paragraph is held unenforceable in a given case, it is severed for that case only.

24.6 The English version of this Agreement is the authoritative one. Translations are provided for convenience; in the event of a discrepancy, the English text prevails.

25. General provisions

25.1 Entire agreement. This Agreement is the whole agreement between you and us about the Platform and replaces all prior understandings on the subject.

25.2 Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions continue in full force.

25.3 No waiver. Our failure or delay in enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it, and a single or partial exercise of a right does not prevent its further exercise.

25.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer any right or obligation under this Agreement. We may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of assets.

25.5 Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by an event beyond our reasonable control, including natural events, war, civil unrest, strike, epidemic, power or network failure, cyber attack, failure of a supplier, or act of a public authority.

25.6 Notices. We may give notice by e-mail to the address registered to your account or by publication on the Platform; notice is deemed received twenty-four (24) hours after it is sent or published. You give notice to us through the contact page.

25.7 Electronic communication. You consent to receive communications and legal notices from us electronically, and you agree that they satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing.

25.8 No partnership. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise or employment relationship between you and us.

25.9 Third parties. Other than the persons indemnified under section 21, no third party has any right to enforce this Agreement.
