6. Intellectual Property

a. Awareness and Responsibility

The iazo Platform contains an extensive amount of intellectual property, and it is therefore extremely important for all Members to be aware of and respect the intellectual property rights of others, including but not limited to, copyright and trademark rights. When creating, authoring, and/or publishing Member Content on the Platform, it is your responsibility alone to ensure that the Member Content does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights or any rights of iazo Members, other persons, businesses, or entities. If you are not the owner of the intellectual property that you post, publish, and/or make available on iazo, you must first obtain all necessary licenses, permissions, and rights from the owner of the intellectual property to use that content on iazo.

For further information regarding Member Content and your responsibilities, please read the Member Content section of our Terms of Service.

b. Protections and Actions

We believe in protecting the intellectual property rights of all people, and this extends far beyond the Members of iazo. We therefore monitor iazo for infringement of intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, copyright and trademark rights, and when appropriate will take corrective action(s) to protect the intellectual property rights of iazo Members, other persons, businesses, and entities.

If you infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, we may remove your infringing Member Content, in whole or part, to be determined at our sole discretion. It is also our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, to suspend or delete the iazo accounts of Members who repeatedly infringe or are charged repeatedly with infringing the intellectual property rights of others.

For further information regarding Intellectual Property on iazo, please read our Copyright Policy and Trademark Policy.

You may not include, incorporate, or integrate any trademark, service mark, logo, copyrighted design, artwork, building, house, architecture, or other works (collectively, the “Depicted IP”) in your Member Content without first obtaining any additional rights, clearances, and permissions necessary to use any Depicted IP.

b. Incorporated Audio

You may not include, incorporate, integrate, or synchronize any audio content, music, dialogue, sound effects, or other ambient audio in your non-audio Member Content (ex. video) (collectively, the “Incorporated Audio”) without first obtaining any additional rights, clearances, and permissions necessary to use any Incorporated Audio.

c. Placeholder Content

You may not include, incorporate, integrate, or synchronize any Placeholder Content in your Member Content for the purpose of demonstration (collectively, the “Placeholder Content”), including but not limited to, any audio, music, dialogue, sound effects, videos, images, photos, graphics, and text, without first obtaining any additional rights, clearances, and permissions necessary to use any Placeholder Content.

8. Inappropriate Content

We actively monitor iazo for all forms of Inappropriate Content (an “Inappropriate Content”) and quickly act to remove Inappropriate Content from the Platform when identified. Please be advised that we may remove any Inappropriate Content from the Platform, at our sole discretion, at any time, without notice, and without limitation.

Inappropriate Content includes, but is not limited to, any Member Content containing the following:

a. Pornography and Nudity

We do not allow any Member Content containing overt or suggestive forms of pornography. This includes any Member Content or media (ex. images, photos, videos, audio, links, etc.) that displays or depicts sexual activity, fetishes, nude, or partially nude people in sexually explicit or suggestive poses. Nudity that exists in artistic, scientific, or educational contexts is generally acceptable, but is also subject to our approval. Such examples of acceptable nudity may include paintings, statues, artwork, content demonstrating breastfeeding, mastectomies, or other medical related images. Any Member Content that displays or depicts nude children or minors is explicitly forbidden with the exception of infants. Please be advised that if you post any content that includes nudity of any kind, that we may choose to delete, modify, hide, or lower its ranking, to be determined at our sole discretion.

b. Advertisements

We do not allow any Member Content that contains advertisements and/or marketing for anything outside of iazo, and shall take quick and decisive action to remove such content from the Platform and delete or suspend the accounts of offending Members when appropriate. There are many forms of Inappropriate Advertising Content, including but not limited to: (i) promoting a business; (ii) promoting a product or service; (iii) promoting a website; (iv) promoting an event; and (v) any unsolicited commercial messages (collectively (i) through (v), “Inappropriate Advertising Content”).

c. Exploitation

Any Member Content that physically, sexually, or other exploits people is strictly forbidden, and we will report any such content to law enforcement when appropriate. There are many forms of exploitative content, including but not limited to, sexual services, escorts, prostitution, sex trafficking, sensual massages, undocumented labor, and child labor. We are extremely sensitive to any exploitation involving children and minors and will report any such activity to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, as well as to law enforcement.

d. Violence

Any Member Content that exists for the purpose of inciting, fomenting, spreading, promoting, or glorifying violence is strictly forbidden. There is a fine line between portraying occurrences of violence and violence in historical contexts and using such instances of violence to incite further violence. We are wise to this manipulative form of content and will delete it immediately upon discovery. It is permissible to portray acts of violence when reporting news, current events, or when in a historical context. However, when portraying violence under such circumstances you are required to do so in a responsible manner that does not further spread violence.

e. Organized Violence

We do not allow any Member Content that is used to promote, perpetuate, or spread forms of organized violence or to support violent organizations, including but not limited to, international and domestic terrorist organizations, anti-government groups, organized crime groups, gangs, or cults. We will suspend or delete accounts belonging to any individual or group that is dedicated to harming others and/or causing violence to occur, whether directly or indirectly. We will collaborate with industry, government, and security experts to help us identify organized violence groups and shall report any such groups that we identify to law enforcement.

f. Self-Harm

We do not allow any Member Content that displays, rationalizes, or encourages any form of self-harm, including but not limited to, suicide, self-injury, eating disorders, and substance abuse. This includes content with instructions and advice on how to harm yourself, or any media portraying the tools and techniques to harm yourself. Any content mocking or disparaging people struggling with self-harm related issues will be deleted immediately. You may not post any content that directly shows another person(s) harming themselves (such as a video of a suicide). When speaking of self-harm related issues, please carefully consider how your words may influence another person struggling with that issue.

g. Accidental Harm or Death

We do not allow any Member Content that overtly portrays the accidental harm or death of any person(s). This is specifically targeted at overt media (photos, videos, audio, etc.) of a person(s) being harmed or killed. It is permissible to portray the harm or death of a person(s) as part of a news story or in a historical context, but not with any form of media directly showing the harm or death. When posting content that involves the harm or death of a person(s), please do so in a way that treats that person(s) with respect and dignity.

h. Hate Speech

Hate speech of any kind is expressly forbidden on iazo. This includes words, content, or media that disparages or denigrates an individual or group based on race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, political group, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, medical condition, age, weight, immigration status, veteran status, or another similar characteristic. When posting any Member Content that discusses these topics, please do so with great sensitivity and respect, and always consider how your words will be interpreted and felt by other people. If you post, promote, or spread hate speech on iazo in any form we will suspend or delete your account without reservation.

i. Attacks on Individual People

Any Member Content that singles out individual people for an attack or helps to identify them for an attack is strictly prohibited. Attacks come in many forms, including but not limited to, bullying, harassment, intimidation, threats (direct and implied), disparagement, mocking, hate speech, insulting language, extreme criticism, defamation, slander, and libel. You may not post any content that identifies the personal information (including contact information) of another person(s) without their express prior authorization, or that otherwise violates their rights to privacy.

j. Regulated Products

In order to protect you and keep our community safe we do not allow Member Content that is used for the purpose of buying or selling of regulated products, including but not limited to, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, firearms, hazardous materials, and products made from endangered species. These types of regulated products can potentially harm the owner, the people around them, and the environment. Many countries have specialized laws, rules, and regulations that apply to these types of products, and we respect such laws. If you post content that is used to buy or sell regulated products, it will be removed, and when appropriate your account may be suspended or deleted.

k. Impersonation and Affiliation

We do not allow any Member Content or accounts that are used to impersonate another person(s), or that mispresent their affiliation with any person(s), organization, or entity (whether intentionally or unintentionally). If your account and the Member Content within it are used to express that you are a fan of, support, or admire another person(s), organization, or entity, you must make it perfectly clear that you are not affiliated with that person(s), organization, or entity. We will remove any Member Content that we believe misleads or misrepresents the identity of the account owner, and when appropriate we shall suspend or delete offending accounts.

b. Inappropriate Content Flags

The iazo Platform is extensive, and in order to effectively monitor and moderate it, we need your help to report any instances of inappropriate Member Content (the “Inappropriate Content”). We have therefore made it possible for all Members to report any Post or Comment to us by flagging it as inappropriate (a “Flag,” “Inappropriate Content Flag,” or “Flagged Content”).

You can quickly and conveniently Flag any Inappropriate Content, including but not limited to: (i) inappropriate/offensive content; (ii) pornographic content; (iii) advertising content; (iv) illegal content; (v) trolling activity; (vi) spam or solicitation; (vii) copyright infringement; and (viii) trademark infringement. We kindly ask that if you see such activity occurring on iazo that you report it to us with a Flag. All submitted Flags are carefully reviewed, and if a Post or Comment receives beyond a certain number of Flags, it will be automatically removed from the Platform until we have had a chance to officially review it.

We may review Flags at the time and rate of our choosing, and when appropriate remove Flags from a Post or Comment. All decisions regarding Flags, and how they are judged against these Terms of Service, all of our Policies and Guidelines, or any law or regulation, are at our sole discretion. We have the right and authority to change, modify, or delete any Post or Comment, without notice, and at our sole discretion, that has been Flagged, or that we feel violates these Terms of Service, any of our Policies and Guidelines, or any law or regulation.
