Terms and conditions

Last updated: July 2026

1. Acceptance of terms

By using What Happened ("the site", "we", "us"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

2. What this is

What Happened is a crowd-sourced question and answer site. Users ask what happened to a person, place, thing, or event, and other users answer. Answers reflect the opinions and knowledge of the person who posted them, not verified facts endorsed by us.

3. Accounts

You need an account to ask questions, answer, vote, or comment. We use passwordless email sign-in. You're responsible for keeping access to your email account secure, since that's how you sign in here. You must be at least 13 years old to use the site.

4. Your content

You own what you post. By posting a question, answer, comment, or profile information, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and store it as part of running the site. You're responsible for what you post.

5. Content rules

We don't allow political, religious, or sexual content, harassment, hate speech, spam, or illegal content. Submissions are checked against these rules before publishing, and can still be reported or removed afterward. We may reject, edit, or remove any content, and suspend or ban accounts, at our discretion.

6. No warranty on content

Answers on this site are submitted by other users and may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. Don't rely on anything here as verified fact, professional advice, or a substitute for your own research. Even "accepted" answers are just the asker's pick of the best answer, not a guarantee of accuracy.

7. Limitation of liability

The site is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we aren't liable for any damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on content posted here.

8. Changes

We may update these terms as the site evolves. Continued use after a change means you accept the update.
