Without this license, My-Face-Place.com would be unable to provide the My-Face-Place Services. For example, without the right to modify Member Content, My-Face-Place.com would not be able to digitally compress music files that Members submit or otherwise format Content to satisfy technical requirements, and without the right to publicly perform Member Content, My-Face-Place.com could not allow Users to listen to music posted by Members. The license you grant to My-Face-Place.com is non-exclusive (meaning you are free to license your Content to anyone else in addition to My-Face-Place.com), fully-paid and royalty-free (meaning that My-Face-Place.com is not required to pay you for the use on the My-Face-Place Services of the Content that you post), sub-licensable (so that My-Face-Place.com is able to use its affiliates and subcontractors such as Internet content delivery networks to provide the My-Face-Place Services), and worldwide (because the Internet and the My-Face-Place Services are global in reach). This license will terminate at the time you remove your Content from the My-Face-Place Services. The license does not grant My-Face-Place.com the right to sell your Content, nor does the license grant My-Face-Place.com the right to distribute your Content outside of the My-Face-Place Services.

    1. You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the Content posted by you on or through the My-Face-Place Services or otherwise have the right to grant the license set forth in this section, and (ii) the posting of your Content on or through the My-Face-Place Services does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person. You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing any person by reason of any Content posted by you to or through the My-Face-Place Services.

We Review Videos Flagged As Inappropriate

Okay, this one is more about us than you. When a video gets flagged as inappropriate, we review the video to determine whether it violates our Terms of Use—flagged videos are not automatically taken down by the system. If we remove your video after reviewing it, you can assume that we removed it purposefully, and you should take our warning notification seriously. Take a deep breath, read our Terms of Use and try to see it from our perspective. If you find other videos on My-Face-Place with the same violations, please flag them so we can review them as well!

Don't Cross the Line

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

  • My-Face-Place is not for pornography or sexually explicit content. If this describes your video, even if it's a video of yourself, don't post it on My-Face-Place. Also, be advised that we work closely with law enforcement and we report child exploitation. Please read our Safety Tips and stay safe on My-Face-Place.
  • 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.
  • My-Face-Place is not a shock site. Don't post gross-out videos of accidents, dead bodies and similar things.
  • Respect copyright. Only upload videos that you made or that you are authorized to use. This means don't upload videos you didn't make, or use content in your videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, or videos made by other users, without necessary authorizations. 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 (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity).
  • 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 My-Face-Place.
  • Everyone hates spam. Do not 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.

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 termination of your account. If your account is terminated you are prohibited from creating any new accounts.

My-Face-Place is for the Community

Remember that this is your community! Each and every user of My-Face-Place makes the site what it is, so don't be afraid to dig in and get involved!

  • Have fun with the site. There's a lot here to see, and lots of folks making amazing stuff—one of them might be you! Equipment's getting cheaper and easier to use all the time, so dive in and enjoy.
  • Let folks know what you think. Feedback's part of the experience, and when done with respect, can be a great way to make friends, share stories, and make your time on My-Face-Place richer. So leave comments, rate videos, make your own responses to videos that affect you, enter contests of interest—there's a lot going on and a lot of ways to participate here.
  • You may not like everything you see. Some of the content here may offend you—if you find that it violates our Terms of Use, then click "Flag as Inappropriate" under the video you're watching to submit it for review by My-Face-Place staff. If it doesn't, then consider just clicking on something else—why waste time watching videos you don't like?

Third-party Advertisers, Links to Other Sites

My-Face-Place allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the My-Face-Place 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 My-Face-Place 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.

My-Face-Place 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 My-Face-Place 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 My-Face-Place 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. My-Face-Place's privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites. Any data obtained by third-party ad servers subsequently shared with My-Face-Place is maintained and dealt with by My-Face-Place in accordance with this privacy policy.

Currently, My-Face-Place has relationships with the following third-party ad servers or ad networks:
