4. The service

Venue information, map data, opening hours, ratings, categories, recommendations, popularity signals, friend heat, and reports may be incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, delayed, or unavailable. heated does not guarantee that any venue is open, safe, suitable, legal for you to enter, or as described. You are responsible for your own decisions, travel, safety, and compliance with venue rules and local law.
7. User content
User content includes profile information, photos, voice notes, messages, reports, comments, venue submissions, plan activity, likes, votes, names, and any other content you provide. You keep ownership of your content, but you grant heated a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify for formatting, display, transmit, distribute, and use your content to operate, improve, protect, and promote heated.

- is illegal, harmful, threatening, harassing, hateful, abusive, exploitative, or discriminatory;

10. Venue reports and submissions
Venue reports and submissions should be truthful, relevant, and based on your genuine experience. Do not submit fake venues, false crowd reports, misleading photos, private information, or content that infringes rights. Admin approval of a venue does not mean heated endorses the venue.
