Collection of Data

If you collect content and information directly from users, you will make it clear that you (and not BEPUPPY) are collecting it, and you will provide notice about and obtain user consent for your use of the content and information that you collect. Regardless of how you obtain content and information from users, you are responsible for securing all necessary permissions to reuse their content and information. You will not collect users' content or information, or otherwise access BEPUPPY, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without our permission.

Tagging

You must not inaccurately tag content or encourage users to inaccurately tag content.

Branded Content on Channels

You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including by ensuring that you provide all necessary disclosures to people using BEPUPPY, such as any disclosures needed to indicate the commercial nature of content posted by you.

Cover

All covers are public. This means that anyone who visits your Channel will be able to see your cover. Covers can't be deceptive, misleading, or infringe on anyone else's copyright. You may not encourage people to upload your cover to their personal profiles.

  5. If your offer may be redeemed at a merchant not operated by you, it is your sole responsibility to communicate with the merchant and ensure they honor your offer.
  6. You must only use the offer creation tool for its intended functionality and not to promote your website or other contact information, or to offer the equivalent of a gift card, gift certificate or stored value card.
  7. You are responsible for ensuring that your offer complies with these terms and all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
