Acceptable Use Policy

ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY

Thank you for your use of the New Pod City Service (the “Service“). We at New Pod City encourage positive experiences among our Users and strive to make sure that all our Users feel welcome using our products and platform. We therefore want to build a community where all Users are respected and able to express themselves freely without fear of attack or harassment. Unfortunately, however, not all free expression will be welcome on the platform, as some people may seek to cloak hate speech under the guise of protected speech.

While we do not believe in governmental censorship and value greatly the protections afforded by the First Amendment in the United States, we must also balance making New Pod City a forum for reasoned discourse free from threats and intimidation. We have therefore adopted this Acceptable Use Policy (the “Policy“) to assist you in understanding what forms of communication will be permitted on the Service. All terms not defined in this Policy will have the meanings set forth in the New Pod City End User License Agreement (the “EULA”).

As a User of the Service, we ask that you read and follow this Policy. Failure to do so may result in your expulsion from the Service and/or the removal of any User Content you have posted to the Service.

• Treat fellow members of the community with respect. Act in good faith and assume others are acting in good faith as well. Treat others the way you would like to be treated.
• We do not permit objectionable content on the Service, which is content that is or could be interpreted to be (i) abusive, bullying, defamatory, harassing, harmful, hateful, inaccurate, infringing, libelous, objectionable, obscene, offensive, pornographic, shocking, threatening, unlawful, violent, vulgar, or in violation of any applicable laws (including laws related to speech); or (ii) promoting any product, good, or service, or bigotry, discrimination, hatred, intolerance, racism, or inciting violence (including suicide) (collectively, “Objectionable Content“).

So please, be thoughtful, respectful, and kind. We don’t think that is too much to ask. And if you find it hard to comply, then we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your use of the Service in our sole discretion and without any liability to you
