Streams Rules

PANTERRA NETWORKS, INC.

STREAMS RULES

 

The Streams Rules (along with all incorporated policies), Privacy Policy, End-User Service Agreement ("EUSA") and Service Level Agreement ("SLA") collectively make up the "Streams User Agreement" that governs a user's access to and use of Streams and all other PanTerra services.

All individuals accessing or using Streams must adhere to the policies set forth in the Streams User Agreement. Failure to do so may result in PanTerra taking one or more of the following enforcement actions:


  • requiring you to delete prohibited content before you can again create new posts and interact with other Streams users;
  • temporarily limiting your ability to create posts or interact with other Streams users;
  • asking you to verify account and/or user ownership with a phone number or email address; or
  • permanently suspending the offending user and notification of actions to the authorized administrator of the account.

If you attempt to evade a permanent suspension by creating a new user or new account, we will suspend your new user or account.

Content Boundaries and Use of Streams

Copyright

PanTerra responds to copyright notifications submitted under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). Section 512 of the DMCA outlines the statutory requirements necessary for formally reporting copyright infringement, as well as providing instructions on how an affected party can appeal a removal by submitting a compliant counter-notice. PanTerra’s response to notices of alleged copyright infringement may include the removal or restriction of access to allegedly infringing material. If we remove or restrict access to user content in response to a notice of alleged infringement, PanTerra will make a good faith effort to contact the affected account holder with information concerning the removal or restriction of access.

Graphic Violence and Adult Content

We consider graphic violence to be any form of gory media related to death, serious injury, or violence. We consider adult content to be any media that is pornographic and/or may be intended to cause sexual arousal.

Unlawful Use

You may not use our service for any unlawful purposes or in furtherance of illegal activities. By using Streams, you agree to comply with all applicable laws governing your online conduct and content.

Misuse of User or Account Names

Selling user or account names: You may not buy or sell Streams user or account names.

Account name squatting: You may not engage in account name squatting. Some of the factors we take into consideration when determining whether conduct is account name squatting include:


  • the number of accounts created;
  • the creation of accounts for the purpose of preventing others from using those account names; and
  • the creation of accounts for the purpose of selling those accounts.

Abusive Behavior

We believe in freedom of expression and open dialogue, but that means little as an underlying philosophy if voices are silenced because people are afraid to speak up. In order to ensure that people feel safe expressing diverse opinions and beliefs, we prohibit behavior that crosses the line into abuse, including behavior that harasses, intimidates, or uses fear to silence another user’s voice.

Context matters when evaluating for abusive behavior and determining appropriate enforcement actions. Factors we may take into consideration include, but are not limited to whether:


  • the behavior is targeted at an individual or group of people;
  • the report has been filed by the target of the abuse or a bystander.

Violence and Physical Harm

Violence: You may not make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people. This includes, but is not limited to, threatening or promoting terrorism.

Suicide or self-harm: You may not promote or encourage suicide or self-harm.

Child sexual exploitation: You may not promote, in any manner, child sexual exploitation.

Abuse and Hateful Conduct

Abuse: You may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so. We consider abusive behavior an attempt to harass, intimidate, or silence someone else’s voice.

Unwanted sexual advances: You may not direct abuse at someone by sending unwanted sexual content, objectifying them in a sexually explicit manner, or otherwise engaging in sexual misconduct.

Hateful conduct: You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.

Private Information and Intimate Media

Private information: You may not publish or post other people's private information without their express authorization and permission. Definitions of private information may vary depending on local laws.

Intimate media: You may not post or share intimate photos or videos of someone that were produced or distributed without their consent.

Threats to expose/hack: You may not threaten to expose someone’s private information or intimate media. You also may not threaten to hack or break into someone’s digital information.

Impersonation

You may not impersonate individuals, groups, or organizations in a manner that is intended to or does mislead, confuse, or deceive others.

Spam and Security

To promote a stable and secure environment on Streams, you may not do, or attempt to do, any of the following while accessing or using Streams:


  • Access, tamper with, or use non-public areas of Streams, Streams’ computer systems, or the technical delivery systems of Streams.
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any Streams system or network, or breach or circumvent any Streams security or authentication measures.
  • Access or search, or attempt to access or search, Streams by any means (automated or otherwise) other than through our currently available, published interfaces that are provided by PanTerra (and only pursuant to the applicable terms and conditions), unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate written agreement with PanTerra. Note that scraping Streams without PanTerra's prior consent is expressly prohibited.
  • Forge any TCP/IP packet header or any part of the header information in any email or posting, or in any way use Streams to send altered, deceptive, or false source-identifying information.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the access of any user, host or network, including, without limitation, sending a virus, overloading, flooding, spamming, mail-bombing PanTerra's services, or by scripting the creation of content in such a manner as to interfere with or create an undue burden on Streams.

Any user or account engaging in the following activities may be temporarily locked or subject to permanent suspension:


  • Malware/Phishing: You may not publish or link to malicious content intended to damage or disrupt another person’s browser or computer or to compromise a person’s privacy.
  • Spam: You may not use PanTerra’s services for the purpose of spamming anyone. Spam is generally defined as bulk or aggressive activity that attempts to manipulate or disrupt Streams or the experience of users on Streams to drive traffic or attention to unrelated accounts, products, services, or initiatives. Some of the factors that we take into account when determining what conduct is considered to be spamming include:
    • if you create abnormally large number of messages in a short period of time;
    • if a large number of spam complaints have been filed against you;
    • if you post duplicative or substantially similar content or comments over multiple users or accounts or create duplicate or substantially similar users or accounts;
    • if you repeatedly post other people’s user or account information as your own;
    • if you post misleading, deceptive, or malicious links;
    • if you create fake users or accounts, account interactions, or impressions;

Content Visibility

Users or accounts under investigation or which have been detected as sharing content in violation of these Streams Rules may have their user or account or messages visibility limited in various parts of Streams, including search.
