Restricted and Prohibited Content

Mature Content

      Mature Content is generally permitted on portes-anciennes. Although portes-anciennes is intended only for an adult audience, we recognize that viewers have different levels of sensitivity about certain types of content. To accommodate such viewers, we have provided a "Mature" designation that must be used in connection with any content you publish which may contain strong violence, strong profanity, highly disturbing scenes, explicit sexual dialogue or situations, nudity and/or graphic sexual content. (Keep in mind that certain content, including pornography, extremely violent content, and hate speech are not allowed anywhere on MyMobileTube.) The Mature designation enables viewers to identify and possibly screen out content that may not be of interest. Your failure to properly designate content as Mature may result in re-designation of the content as Mature or removal of the content from MyMobileTube.

Prohibited Content

      Certain types of content are not allowed anywhere on portes-anciennes. Publishers may not publish content which:

• Promotes or glorifies hatred, violence, racial or religious intolerance, or organizations which promote such views.
• Is pornographic, obscene and similarly adult oriented, which includes content depicting explicit sexual acts, any sexual content involving underage persons, and content depicting excretory and other bodily functions.
• Is excessively and/or gratuitously violent.
• Highly disturbing to an appreciable number of viewers.

portes-anciennes reserves the right to exercise its discretion to remove content that is deemed to be Prohibited Content.

Infringing and Illegal Content

      portes-anciennes is committed to protecting the intellectual property rights of third parties and to providing its users with a safe place upload and view digital content. Infringement is the unauthorized use of other people's intellectual property, which includes copyrighted materials, rights of publicity and trademarks.

• The publishing of unauthorized copies of materials protected by copyright laws is strictly prohibited.
• The publishing of content which infringes the trademarks of third parties is strictly prohibited.
• The publishing of content which infringes other intellectual property rights of third parties is strictly prohibited.
• The publishing of any content which is illegal under the laws of the United States is strictly prohibited.

      We appreciate that intellectual property laws are sometimes arcane and difficult to understand and apply. However, as a publisher, you are responsible for making sure that the content you are publishing is lawful and non-infringing. Penalties for infringement can be severe. If you have any doubts about whether you should be publishing particular content, we strongly encourage you to consult a lawyer or consult other helpful resources, such as:

FACE (Friends of Copyright Education)

      As part of our commitment to protecting intellectual property rights of third parties, it is our policy to comply with legally compliant requests from copyright owners to remove content which they believe infringes their rights.

Site Usage and Publishing Policies

Misleading Thumbnails, Tags and Content Details

      Publishing practices which are likely to confuse viewers or inappropriately divert attention to particular content are not permitted on portes-anciennes. Such practices include, but are not limited to:

• Publishing content in incorrect or inappropriate categories
• Using a thumbnail image which is misleading as to the content being offered
• Using tags, titles or keywords not reasonably related to the content and which are likely to confuse or inappropriately divert viewers to the published content

      Why does portes-anciennes have these policies? Use of confusing or misleading tags, descriptions and thumbnail images results in a poor finding and viewing experience for viewers since such practices return search results in which the viewer may have no interest. These practices are also unfair to Publishers who categorize and describe their items appropriately and may receive fewer potential viewers and/or buyers.

Fee Circumvention

      Publishers cannot use techniques to avoid fees that would otherwise be owed to portes-anciennes. Prohibited practices include, but are not limited to:

• Content details containing with contact information (including email address, phone number or domain name) in the title, subtitle, item location or images are not permitted.

The portes-anciennes details page may not refer to or promote the seller's individual Web site (including home page URLs which directly or indirectly promote an outside-of-MyMobileTube website), sales outside of MyMobileTube, or other businesses. However, sellers may include links to their MyMobileTube profile pages and other content on MyMobileTube.

Unauthorized Advertising

      Publishers cannot upload content that contains advertising or other promotional material, including links to such material, unless expressly authorized by portes-anciennes.

Executable Files

      Publishers cannot upload content that contains executable files, unless specifically authorized by portes-anciennes. Executable files are program files that cannot be read by humans and which, when clicked, cause a built-in routine to automatically execute code that can set several functions into motion. Executable files are typically used to install and run programs and routines. Common filename extensions for denoting an executable file include, but are not limited to:
