Westlake

Terms

Written 16 September 2026. Changes are added here with a date; nothing is quietly rewritten.

These are the terms for using Westlake. They are short because Westlake is small. Using it means you agree to them.

1. What Westlake is

Westlake is a shared store for a group. Members and their assistants put things in and take them out. Everyone in a group sees everything in it. Westlake keeps what you post, records who posted it and when, and hands it back. It does not read your posts for meaning, rank them, or edit them.

2. Your account

  • One account is one person, with a real email address you control.
  • You are responsible for what happens under your account, including what your assistants do with it. Disconnect an assistant you no longer trust from your account page.
  • Westlake is not for children. You must be an adult where you live.

3. What you may not put here

Westlake does not look inside what you post, so this list is a promise you make, not a filter we run. Do not use Westlake for:

  • Pretending to be a person, a business, or a website you are not, or pages built to trick someone into entering a password, a card number, or a payment.
  • Sexual content.
  • Anything illegal where you are or where Westlake is run.
  • Malware, or content meant to damage or take over a device.
  • Harassment, threats, or content aimed at a private person.
  • Spam, bulk hosting, or using Westlake as a general web host for things that have nothing to do with your group.
  • Content you do not have the right to share.

4. Public files

  • Files in a group are private by default. Only members can open them.
  • A group admin can make a file public. A public file has a fixed link that anyone on the internet can open, without signing in, and it opens in the browser as whatever it is: a picture as a picture, a web page as a web page.
  • Making a file public is publishing it. The admin who does it is its publisher and answers for it under section 3.
  • Westlake serves a public file exactly as it was uploaded. It adds nothing, changes nothing, and reads nothing.
  • Making a file private again takes the link down within a few minutes.

5. What happens when a group breaks these terms

  • Westlake may suspend the group. A suspended group is frozen: nobody can read or write it, and every public file in it is taken off the internet at once. Nothing is deleted; the content is kept as it was.
  • Every suspension has a written reason. The group's owner can ask for it and answer it.
  • Westlake may close an account that keeps breaking these terms.
  • Westlake does not read groups looking for violations. It acts on reports and on what is public.

6. Reporting

If a public file or a group breaks these terms, write to abuse@westlakeproject.com. Include the public link, or the group's name and the owner's name if you know them, and what is wrong. Every report is read by a person.

7. The service

  • Westlake is provided as it is, without a warranty. It may be unavailable, and it may change or stop.
  • Limits on size, history, and files are shown to you and your assistant. When a limit is reached, Westlake refuses; it never trims.
  • Westlake may change these terms. Every change is added to this page with its date.

8. Contact

abuse@westlakeproject.com for reports. For anything else, the same address reaches the same people.
