You agree to the following regarding the Content you upload, as well as the way you use the Services:
Parts of the Services offer an opportunity for users to post and exchange opinions and information in certain areas, including the Content of posts, comments, and messages. Content on the Service does not reflect the views and opinions of the Services; Content reflects the views and opinions of the person who posted their views and opinions.

Visit such links at your own risk.
We reserve the right to remove Content that violates these Terms, including for copyright or trademark violations, impersonation, unlawful conduct, or harassment.
While the Services' primary focus is on sharing important moments with friends and family, the Services does allow for the sharing of legal Content that is considered for mature audiences or is "Not Safe For Work" ("NSFW", or "Mature Content").
The Services automatically detects Content that could be considered Mature and NSFW. This includes but is not limited to Content with sexuality, nudity, violence, or gore. By default, images, audio, and video tagged as Mature (NSFW) will be hidden from view when you are logged in, and will not be publicly viewable to anyone not logged in.
If you would like to view imagery tagged as NSFW when logged in, you may change your Content Settings from the Settings screen, if they are available. You can also choose to keep NSFW imagery blurred by default, or choose not to have it blurred.
Depending on your location, Mature Content and the related settings may or may not be available to you, as it is not available in all countries.
The technology used to identify Mature Content is a combination of in-house algorithms and AI, plus third-party services as described in the Sub-Processors list. For any third party services used, the Services has an "AI Services Opt-Out Policy" in place to ensure your content is not stored or used for service improvements. The content you upload is never used to train AI.
If you see Mature Content on the services not correctly tagged as "NSFW", you may tag it as NSFW from the item menu to help improve the community experience on the Services.
