9. Content Standards
These content standards apply to any and all User Contributions and use of any Interactive Services. All User Contributions must in their entirety comply with our Code of Conduct and all applicable federal, state, local, foreign, and international laws and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, User Contributions must not contain material that, outside of clearly marked fantasy, within art, or in-character contexts:
● Is defamatory, abusive, harassing, or otherwise targets or harms real individuals or entities outside of fictional contexts.
● Promotes real-world hate speech, violence, or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, age, or other protected characteristics; however, this does not apply to depictions in explicitly fantasy-based content, such as non-human art, roleplay scenarios, or text chat, provided such content does not advocate for or encourage real-world actions.
● Infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other intellectual property or any other rights of any person or entity.
● Violates the legal rights (including without limitation, the rights of publicity and privacy) of any person or entity, or include any material that could give rise to any civil or criminal liability under any applicable laws or regulations or that otherwise may be in conflict with these Terms of Use, our Code of Conduct, or our Privacy Policy.
● Is likely to deceive any person or entity.
● Violates any applicable laws or regulations, or promotes, advocates, or assists any illegal activities.
● Causes annoyance, harassment, or needless anxiety to real individuals, or is likely to upset, embarrass, harass, or annoy any person or entity outside of consensual fantasy roleplay contexts.
● Restricts or inhibits any other user’s use of the Website, or harms us or other users.
● Impersonates any person or misrepresents your identity or affiliation with any person or entity, or gives the false impression that you emanate from or are endorsed by us or by any other person or entity, if this is not the case.
● Involves unsolicited commercial activities or sales, including without limitation, any contests, sweepstakes, or other sales, advertising, or marketing activities or promotions not authorized by us.
For clarity, we permit User Contributions involving explicit fantasy themes, including but not limited to non-human or anthropomorphic art, roleplay, and text-based scenarios that may include contentious elements, as long as they are clearly presented as fictional and do not violate any laws, promote real-world harm, or involve non-consensual interactions among users. Please see our Wiki for more information on all of our guidelines.
