Terms of Service

By using Thread Reader (the "Site"), you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Use (the "Thread Reader") and/or any revised version. Any new service available on the Site or any modification of an existing service will be governed by the TOS, which may be modified or updated from time to time. We strongly encourage you to review the TOS regularly. The Site is operated in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Provided Service

Thread Reader makes available to its users ("You") access to a fully customizable Site that allows you to select and aggregate content provided by third parties ("Third Party Content") through computer programs called scrollers ("Unroller (s)", and tools that allow you to create and publish any content, of any kind, in accordance with the terms of the Thread Reader Terms and Conditions ("Thread Reader"). Thread Reader does not provide content but rather functions as an aggregator. A Un Unroller is defined as software that provides content, including data from third parties. It is composed of computer code, which is the exclusive property of Thread Reader.

Use of the Service is free of charge. However, access to Third Party Content may be subject to a charge: this billing is done outside of Thread Reader. Thread Reader does not host any Third Party Content and retains only technical and personal data in accordance with our privacy policy.

Twitter specifics

In Twitter own term of service it is explicitly stated: "You retain your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or through the Services. What’s yours is yours — you own your Content (and your photos and videos are part of the Content)."
And so you do on Thread Reader too.

However, you also grant them some rights: "By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute such Content in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed). This license authorizes us to make your Content available to the rest of the world and to let others do the same."

Thread Reader is bound to Twitter by the Developer Agreement and Policy that grant us a Licence to display your content.
