Privacy

Your use of the Website is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information. Please review it before using the Service.

User Accounts (If Applicable)

Some features may require an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities under your account. Notify us promptly of any suspected unauthorized use.

User Content and Community Guidelines

When you submit comments, messages, or other material ("User Content"), you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display such content for the purpose of operating and improving the Website.

You are solely responsible for your User Content. Do not post content that is unlawful, infringing, harassing, deceptive, hateful, or that contains malware or unauthorized promotions. We may moderate, edit, or remove User Content at our discretion.

Editorial Independence; Reviews and Mentions

Our articles reflect the views of their authors and are provided for general information only. Mentions of products or services may be editorial or sponsored; where compensation influences presentation, we aim to label it clearly. Opinions remain our own unless stated otherwise.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to (a) copy, distribute, or exploit content beyond what is permitted by law or these Terms; (b) interfere with security or access controls; (c) use automated means to scrape or harvest data except as allowed by applicable law; (d) upload malware or engage in activity that disrupts the Service; or (e) misrepresent your identity or affiliation.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise noted, the Website and its content (text, images, graphics, and other materials) are owned by or licensed to Aera Media and protected by applicable laws. No rights are granted except as expressly stated in these Terms or by written permission.

Third-Party Services and References

The Website may reference third-party resources or display advertising. Third parties are responsible for their own offerings and policies. We do not control or guarantee third-party information, availability, or performance.

DIY, Safety, and Local Requirements

Guides in home improvement, gardening, pets, and travel are general information. Conditions vary by location and skill level. Use appropriate safety measures, follow manufacturer instructions, comply with local laws/codes, and seek licensed professionals when needed. You are responsible for permits, inspections, and suitability of methods and tools.

Availability and Technical Issues

We endeavor to keep the Service available and secure, but we do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation. You should use appropriate cybersecurity protections when accessing the Website.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Aera Media and its affiliates, licensors, and service providers shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, even if advised of the possibility.

Where liability cannot be excluded under applicable law, our aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid (if any) for access to the Service in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) USD 100.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Aera Media and its affiliates, officers, employees, and partners from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or for any reason at our discretion. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive (e.g., Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law) will survive termination.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Indonesia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of competent courts in Indonesia for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, subject to the "Dispute Resolution" provision below.

Dispute Resolution

If you have a concern or dispute, please contact us first to seek an informal resolution. If unresolved within a reasonable time, the dispute may be brought before the courts identified above. Nothing here prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief for urgent matters.

Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. A failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of future enforcement.

Translation

Where we provide translations, the English version controls in the event of a conflict.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with the revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective means you accept the updated Terms.
