Description

🔹 Description
The project currently lacks a dedicated Terms of Service (ToS) page. To ensure clarity, professionalism, and transparency, I propose implementing a Terms of Service page that defines the rules, responsibilities, and guidelines for users interacting with the OWASP Nest platform.

🔹 Proposed Changes
Create a new TermsOfService component/page.

Include sections such as:

- Introduction
- Acceptance and Agreement to Terms
- User Responsibilities
-- Account Security
-- Content Responsibility
-- Community Standards
-- Compliance

- Prohibited Activities
-- Illegal Activities
-- Security Violations
-- Inappropriate Content
- Intellectual Property
-- OWASP Nest Content
-- User-Generated Content
-- Open Source Components
-- Respect for Others' IP

- Limitation of Liability
-- Disclaimer of Warranties
-- Limitation of Damages
-- Maximum Liability

- Termination of Access
-- Termination by You
-- Termination by Us
-- Effect of Termination
- Governing Law
-- Applicable Law
-- Dispute Resolution
-- Severability
- Contact Information
- Changes to These Terms

Add proper routing to /terms-of-service.
Ensure a responsive, accessible, and consistent design across all devices.

🔹 Benefits

- Defines clear rules and expectations for users.
- Improves trust, professionalism, and legal compliance.
- Prevents misuse of the platform and ensures fair participation.
- Protects both users and the project under defined terms.
- Strengthens transparency within the OWASP ecosystem.

🔹 Alternatives Considered

- Adding a short summary in the footer (less detailed and not user-friendly).
- Linking to OWASP’s general Terms page (doesn’t address project-specific usage policies).

🔹 Implementation Status
✅ Yes, I would like to work on implementing this feature.
