DPP may change the Agreement, or may modify or discontinue the Website or services offered thereon, at any time at its sole discretion. DPP reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to deny further or continuing access to the Website to any visitor, including, without limitation, any user that DPP determines has violated any aspect of this Agreement.

Your Content may be deleted without warning, if we believe that you are under 18 years of age.
  1. Content. Users may have the opportunity to post comments on blog posts and/or upload content, images, photos, video, sounds, profiles, works of authorship, or any other materials (collectively, “Content”) to the Website.

The type of Content likely to be rejected includes, but is not limited to, the following: 

a. Nudity or Sexual Content. Content containing pornography or sexually explicitly content is not permitted on the Website and will be rejected.

b. Violent or Graphic Content. Violent or gory content that DPP determines is primarily intended to be shocking, sensational, or disrespectful, or to encourage others to commit specific acts of violence will be rejected.

c. Hateful Content. While DPP believes that free expression is important, content that promotes or condones violence against individuals or groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, nationality, veteran status, or sexual orientation/gender identity, or whose primary purpose is inciting hatred on the basis of these core characteristics will be rejected. Additionally, any content whose primary purpose is to attack a constitutionally protected group will be rejected.

d. Spam, misleading metadata, and scams. Everyone hates spam. Don’t create misleading descriptions, tags, titles, or thumbnails in order to increase views. It’s not okay to post large amounts of untargeted, unwanted or repetitive content, including comments and private messages.

e. Harmful or other Dangerous Content. Any content that encourages others to do things that might cause them to get badly hurt and any content showing such harmful or dangerous acts may get rejected depending on its severity, which is determined at the sole discretion of DPP.

f. Copyright. Any content that violates DPP’s Copyright Policy outlined in this Agreement will be rejected.

g. Threats. Things like predatory behavior, stalking, threats, harassment, intimidation, invading privacy, revealing other people’s personal information, and inciting others to commit violent acts or to violate the Agreement are taken very seriously. Anyone caught doing these things may be permanently banned from the Website.

  1. Proprietary Rights in Content. By posting any Content on the Website, you hereby grant to DPP, a non-exclusive, fully-paid and royalty-free, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense through unlimited levels of sublicensees) to use, copy, modify, adapt, translate, publicly perform, publicly display, store, reproduce, transmit, and distribute such Content in any and all media and by any means now known or hereafter devised that DPP, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate.
