1.2 Copyright
Before you submit any content, you must ensure that you have all the necessary rights to do so. You must either own the content, have obtained appropriate licenses, or have some other clear legal basis to upload it. Uploading infringing materials may expose you to legal liability and could result in the termination of your account in accordance with our Terms of Service.
1.3 Screen Name, Profile & Avatar
You may not use screen names, profile pictures or avatars that are offensive (e.g., names with explicit language), display symbols associated with gangs, hate groups, or terror organizations, or violate the content restrictions in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 above.
2. Restricted Users
Certain users may not use our services, regardless of their content. These are: gangs, hate groups, terror organizations, members of the foregoing, persons who are subject to U.S. sanctions, and persons under the age of 18.
3. Conduct
Our Terms of Service clearly and fully lay out rules that explicitly disallow our users from (among other things) harassing other users, interfering with our technical measures, spamming, or engaging in inauthentic behaviour. “Spamming” includes mass distribution of the same or similar content, content containing links intended to sell the user some dubious item, and the use of bots, scripts, or other automated tools for any purpose. “Inauthentic behaviour” includes creating fake accounts, liking or commenting on your own content using another account, and purchasing likes or comments from third parties.
4. Reporting Suspected Violations
If you encounter any content or user accounts that violate our terms of service and the guidelines set forth in articles 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2, and 3, you may report individual GIFs by flagging them through the ‘report’ function visible on all pieces of content. To file a DMCA notice, please follow the instructions found on our DMCA page. To report a user account or for any additional issues, please email support@redgifs.com and clearly describe the issue and provide the appropriate links.
5. Enforcement
We endeavour to review all pieces of content and accounts flagged by our users and third parties.
5.1 Removals and Terminations
Violations may result in suspension or removal of videos, account privileges, or your entire account. Account removal will occur in severe cases, such as where you have wilfully or repeatedly violated our terms or have uploaded extremely inappropriate content. If your account is permanently removed, you may not create a new account. In some cases, dependent on the reason for the content/profile removal, the appropriate authorities will be notified and all offending content shared with them. If you believe your content and/or account has been removed without due reason, then please email support@redgifs.com and make a request for the decision to be reconsidered.
6. Legal Effect
These Guidelines provide our definitive views on our restrictions, but are not meant to be exhaustive and shall not be construed to impose limitations or obligations on RedGIFs that do not appear in our Terms of Service. We may, from time to time, update our Guidelines to provide guidance on new situations that may arise.
