Don't Cross the Line

Here are some common-sense rules that will help you steer clear of trouble:

Uzane is not for pornography or sexually explicit content. If this describes your project, even if it's of yourself, don't submit it to Uzane. Also, be advised that we work closely with law enforcement and we report child exploitation.
Don't post videos showing bad stuff like animal abuse, drug abuse, or bomb making.
Graphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed. If your video shows someone getting hurt, attacked, or humiliated, don't post it.
Uzane is not a shock site. Don't post gross-out videos of accidents, dead bodies and similar things.
Respect copyright. Only submit projects that you made or that you have obtained the rights to use. This means don't submit projects that you didn't make, or use content in your projects that someone else owns the copyright to, such as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, or videos made by other users, without their permission. Read our Copyright Tips for more information.
We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech, which is content intended to attack or demean a particular gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, ethnic origin, veteran status, color, age, disability or nationality.
There is zero tolerance for predatory behavior, stalking, threats, harassment, invading privacy, or the revealing of other members' personal information. Anyone caught doing these things may be permanently banned from Uzane.
Everyone hates spam. Do not create misleading descriptions in order to increase views. Promoting your project is one thing, but it's not okay to post large amounts of untargeted, unwanted or repetitive content, including comments and private messages.

Please take these rules seriously and take them to heart. Don't try to look for loopholes or try to lawyer your way around them—just understand them and try to respect the spirit in which they were created. Violations of the Terms of Use may result in a warning notification or may result in termination of your account and deletion of all your videos. We decide whether we believe your violation of our Terms of Use should result in termination of your account. If you have an account terminated you are prohibited from ever signing up for another account!

Third-party Advertisers, Links to Other Sites

Uzane allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the Uzane Sites. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the Uzane Sites. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content you see.

Uzane does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. However, please note that if an advertiser asks Uzane to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, men ages 18-34) or audience segment (for example, men ages 18-24 who have viewed certain channels of content) and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. The advertiser may also use information regarding your use of the Uzane Sites, such as the number of times you viewed an ad (but not any personally identifiable information), to determine which ads to deliver to you.

You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks (see links below) for more information on their practices and for instructions on how to opt-out of certain practices. Uzane's privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites.
