2. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. You must provide accurate information when creating your account and keep your email address current.

You may use ShaderBox to create, edit, and manage shader code. You can save shaders as private (visible only to you) or make them public for others to view. You are responsible for all content you create or share.

We strive to keep ShaderBox available, but we cannot guarantee 100% uptime. We may temporarily suspend the service for maintenance or improvements.

5. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms. You may close your account at any time through your account settings. If you close your account, you will lose access to your shaders and account information immediately. There is no way to recover deleted accounts or shaders.
