Hey,
I've just taken a look at the T&Cs and found the following clause:
"We can (WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTICE) edit, close/lock, move, duplicated or publish any of your posted content because as soon as it is posted, you are the author of the content, but it becomes property of Habbox UK Forum."
This could have some serious, intended or not, repercussions for people posting their own work on the forum (e.g alterations, photographs, website designs, other graphics work, etc.) as effectively you are claiming the right to do as you please over the content as soon as it is posted on the forum without having to obtain express permission from the author and copyright holder.
Can we get some clarification on the issue and perhaps make the T&C more clear if this is not the intended use of the clause?
Thanks,
Tom
