If you share your repository, publish images, code or content, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available by means of the Site (“Content”), you are entirely responsible for such Content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content. That is the case regardless of whether the Content in question constitutes text, graphics, an audio file, or computer software. By making Content available, you represent and warrant that:
By submitting Content or computer code to 8gears for inclusion in your repositories, you grant 8gears a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the purpose of providing the services you request. If you delete Content, 8gears will use reasonable efforts to remove it from the Services, but you acknowledge that caching or references to the Content may not be made immediately unavailable.
Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, 8gears has the right (though not the obligation) to, in 8gears’ sole discretion (a) refuse or remove any content that, in 8gears’ reasonable opinion, violates any 8gears policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or (b) terminate or deny access to and use of the Site to any individual or entity for any reason, in 8gears’ sole discretion. 8gears will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.
Information related to accepted payment methods are made available during the purchasing process.

Some payment methods may only be available subject to additional conditions or fees. In such cases related information can be found in the dedicated section of Container Registry.
