Welcome to Novarae Media. These terms govern your use of our website, services, and submission platform. By accessing or using the site, you agree to these terms.

1. Who We Are

We provide a platform for people to share creative work, discover others, attend events, and engage with a vibrant, supportive creative community. Submissions, blog content, and real-life or virtual showcases are all part of what we do.

2. Accounts

To submit work, you’ll need to create an account. You must be 16 or older. Keep your login secure, and please let us know if you suspect any unauthorised use.

3. Submissions

When submitting your work (e.g. video, music, photography, writing), you confirm you own the rights or have permission to use it. You keep ownership of your work. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display, promote, and feature your submission on our site, social channels, and events.

4. Submission Fees & Purpose

We charge fees for submissions. These fees help support the cost of:

• Organising and hosting events

• Promoting selected work

• Maintaining and improving the platform
  Paying a fee does not guarantee your work will be accepted. Submissions are reviewed and curated based on relevance, quality, and available space.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the site — no unlawful, offensive, or misleading content. We reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts that breach these terms or community standards.

6. Content and Intellectual Property

Unless stated otherwise, all content (excluding user submissions) is owned by us. This includes branding, written content, images, and design. You may not reuse any part of the site without permission.

7. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We’ll post changes on the site and inform users of major updates. Continued use of the platform means you accept the latest version.

8. Legal & Global Use

These terms are governed by UK law. If you're accessing the platform from another country, we still aim to honour your local rights where applicable.
