6. Code of Conduct. As a condition to your use of the Services, you agree to follow our Code of Conduct, set out below. Under this Code, you will not:
- Upload, email, or otherwise transmit any image or other content that is unlawful, obscene, harmful, hateful, invades the privacy of any third party, contains nudity or pornography, or is otherwise objectionable.
- Disseminate materials that impact or invade the privacy of others, such as photographs, video clips, sound recordings, Personal Information, or other materials that reveal personal, private, or sensitive information about another person, without that person's consent.
- Submit material that is intentionally false, defamatory, unlawfully threatening, or unlawfully harassing.
- Infringe any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy. Electronic materials – such as music, videos, images, and text in electronic form – can easily be copied, modified, and sent over the internet. These electronic materials are thus extremely vulnerable to unauthorized distribution and copyright infringement. These materials may not be transmitted over the Website without the copyright owner's permission or without a legitimate "fair use" justification for the transmittal.
- Transmit materials that contain viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or other computer-programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept, or expropriate any system, data, or Personal Information.
- Use the Website to artificially generate traffic or page links to a website or for any other purpose not expressly allowed under these Terms.
- Use the Website in a manner that could disable, overburden, or impair the Website or Services or interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of the Website and Website Services, such as through sending "spam".
- Use the Website to test or reverse engineer the Website in order to find limitations, vulnerabilities, or to evade filtering capabilities.
- Seek to obtain access to any materials or information through "hacking", "data harvesting", or through other means we have not intentionally made available to you through the Website.
- Use the Website for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms. For example, you will not use the Website to violate any law, statute, or regulation (including, without limitation, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination, or false advertising).
Our Code of Conduct is based, in many instances, on principles of applicable law. Accordingly, users violating our Code of Conduct may be exposed under these laws to criminal charges, and civil liability to harmed parties for compensatory damages and attorney's fees. We reserve the right at all times to disclose information that we deem necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, consistent with our Privacy Policy. We reserve the right at any time to terminate or suspend your access to some or all of the Services if you engage in activities that we conclude, in our discretion, breach our Code of Conduct.
