Stampzz
Welcome to Stampzz, a social media networking service owned and operated by Stampzz Media (“Stampzz,” “we,” or “us”). Stampzz consists of an app (the “App”) for your app-enabled mobile device (the “Device”) and of a website located at www.stampzz.com (the “Site”).
Terms of service.
Please read these terms of service (the “Terms of Service”) carefully. By accessing or using the App or the Site, you agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions described in these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to all of these terms and conditions, do not use our App and our Site. We reserve the right to change or modify these Terms of Service or any policy or guideline of our App and Site, at any time. Any changes and modifications will be effective immediately upon posting of the revisions on our Site, and you waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such change or modifications. Your continuous use of our App or Site following the posting of changes or modifications will confirm your acceptance of such changes or modifications.
Service provided.
Stampzz is designed for real time content sharing and interaction between and among users. Our service (the “Service”) consists of enabling registered App users (the “Users”) to capture, upload, post and share digital pictures which can be titled, tagged, geotagged, and linked and which are displayed with Users’ details in a specific format (collectively, we call these “Stamps”). The Service includes the ability for Users to follow other Users or to be followed, to post some Stamps (to “stamp”) or to share some Stamps (to “re-stamp”), to search, search nearby, view, like, comment, e-mail, geographically localize, alert Stamps of all and any Users, and in particular, of Users followed, and to engage in social networking. The Service also enables Users to share Stamps on other social networks, including Facebook and Twitter.
Privacy.
Please refer to our
privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) for information on our privacy practices. Your use of the App or Site signifies your acknowledgment of, and agreement to, the Privacy Policy.
Rules and guidelines.
These Terms of Service apply any time you use our App or visit our Site. By using our Service, you agree to these terms. You are responsible for your use of the Service, for any content you stamp on Stampzz, and for any consequence thereof. Do not stamp nude, partially nude, or sexually suggestive content. Do not use our Service in any way to harass, bully, stalk, or harm others, violate their privacy rights. Do not use our Service to encourage harassment, bullying, or other inappropriate behavior. Do not use our Service to defame, slander, or advocate hateful practices, like advocating racism, bigotry, illegal acts, and acts of violence or terrorism. Do not stamp any confidential or personal information about anyone. If we discover or are alerted that you have engaged in these or other objectionable acts, have violated our Terms of Service, we reserve the right to permanently disable our App on your Device, bar you from using our Service and remove any Stamp featuring a questionable content.
Audience.
Our Service is intended for use by people who are thirteen years of age or older. If we are alerted that a child under thirteen has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to remove such information and terminate the child’s account. Minors over the age of thirteen should seek permission from their parents or legal guardian to use the App or Site.
Stamps are public.
When you create Stamps using our App, those Stamps are immediately published on Stampzz and available for viewing by all and any Users. Stamps are a public content. Since Stamps can be e-mailed or shared on other social networks, Stamps can easily be transmitted outside our community and viewed by non-Users. Accordingly, you should only create Stamps that you are comfortable sharing with everybody, and not only within our community. Be aware that a Stamp may be viewed all around the world instantly. At any moment, you can delete, and are encouraged to delete, any Stamp you have inappropriately created on Stampzz. Deleting a Stamp will erase any and all re-stamp of such Stamp on Stampzz, if any, but will not delete Stamps already transmitted or shared outside our community. In any case, do not create Stamps that would be unsuitable to share in a public environment, including, without limitation, any Stamp conveying unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, harassing, offensive, or gratuitously violent images or including obscene, provocative or threatening titles or tags. Also, do not create Stamps infringing copyrights you do not hold. If a single User alerts a Stamp you have posted, Stampzz reserves the right to immediately and temporally remove the Stamp and/or disable your ability to use the App on your Device. If in our sole discretion we decide the reported Stamp in question violates our Terms of Services, we reserve the right to permanently remove the Stamp, close your User account and permanently disable your ability to use the App on your Device. If you fall across a User’s Stamp that you believe to be violating these Terms of Service, you are encouraged to alert this Stamp immediately by using the alert function. If you repeatedly alert Stamps not violating our Terms of Service, we reserve the right to close your account and permanently disable your ability to use the App on your Device. If you do not like a comment posted on one of your Stamps, your potential recourse is to remove the Stamp to which such comment is attached. Please keep your private and potentially inappropriate photos for other applications and networks and avoid creating Stamps featuring undesired content.
You own the content you create.
Whatever content you upload to Stampzz or capture via the App remains yours. You own the copyrights on any picture or any title you create on Stampzz. When you create a Stamp, the original picture that you capture with the App is saved on your Device’s native image folder and belongs to you. However, by submitting your content to Stampzz, you are giving Stampzz permission to use your content under the terms defined herewith. Stampzz also retains all rights in the format of the Stamp under which your content appears.
You are responsible for your Stamps.
All and any Stamps created via the Service as well as all and any comments that you originated are your responsibility. You, and not Stampzz, are entirely responsible for all pictures that you upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available through Stampzz in the format of Stamps. By using the Service, you understand that you, and not Stampzz, might be liable for exposing other Users to offensive, harmful, inaccurate or otherwise inappropriate Stamps or comments. Stampzz does not control any Stamp or comment posted and does not endorse, support, represent, or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any Stamp created or comment originated via the Service. By posting Stamps, you represent and warrant that you have the lawful right to distribute such Stamps and that their content does not infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual or proprietary right of any third party.
You cannot freely use the content of others.
You are not allowed to use, modify, publish, broadcast, distribute, or disseminate through media channels another User’s content appearing on Stampzz, unless you have obtained permission from such User for the desired usage. The only acceptable use of another User’s content is the sharing of Stamps in which such content appears on other social networking services and within the acceptable limits defined under these Terms of Service.
You can share Stamps with reasonable limits.
Beyond the sharing options provided by the Service, Stamps, and this format only, can be displayed or reproduced outside our community, provided you attribute credit to Stampzz as the source where such Stamps were obtained. In case Stamps are reproduced for any commercial purpose or broadcasted or disseminated through non-affiliated commercial media channels or platforms, written permission shall be requested to Stampzz to obtain a sublicense to use. Any such request shall be made at:
use@stampzz.com
License grant.
