3. Content
A. User Content
The Content uploaded, posted, or linked by you—the user—is your responsibility. Any harm or consequence that results from this Content is the soul responsibility of the user. All Content posted, uploaded, or linked by the user must follow the guidelines as set for in this section and the Terms generally.
Photos: NaturalNatures is mainly a photo based Content site, and so the standards for photos are set forth here in exactness.
NaturalNatures is not designed as a place to share any photos of hiking or other outdoor adventures, but focuses solely on select criteria that equal what has become deemed to be a NaturalNature. This means that the subject in the photo should be nude. The backdrop should be a scape that is at least predominantly natural with little inclusion of man-made objects. The subject may be male or female. Failure to meet these basic guidelines of what a NaturalNature is may result in the removal of the photo. NaturalNatures always reserves final judgement on these criteria.
Some laws do not look favorably on public nudity, though there are possible exceptions for artistic intent. Be that as it may NaturalNatures assumes that any persons taking and posting pictures do so at their own risk. If any consequence should result from the taking of pictures or posting of pictures on the Services, you accept all responsibility of those consequences and surrender any right to implicate NaturalNatures LLC in those litigations. This includes but is not limited to fines and/or arrests due to charges of public nudity, fines and/or arrests due to trespassing, injury from hiking to a spot or taking a photo in a location, or any other consequences that may result. NaturalNatures in no way suggests that the methods used for its public albums are safe and does not encourage others to take the same risks.
The photos cannot be pornographic in nature. This includes full frontal nudity without an artistic intent, any photos showing or suggesting sexual acts, or anything that NaturalNatures deems inappropriate.
The subject of the photo most know of the posting and have agreed to the posting of the photo. All photos uploaded, posted, published, or linked to must be owned by the user posting said photos. Any photos that are deemed to be breaking Copyright laws or infringing upon Intellectual Property Rights may not be posted.
Due to United States law any person appearing in posted photos must be at least 18 years of age, especially if the person is appearing in the nude. If there is any debate as to the person being 18 years of age the photo will be removed promptly.
All posted content, photos or otherwise, must be owned by the user and be legal to use by copyright and Intellectual Property Rights.
You promise not to post anything negative or defamatory about other users or fellow human beings in general. Such negativity goes against the principles of NaturalNatures and will result in the deletion of the Content and possibly the deletion of the account.
Content posted by the user is public and may be used by NaturalNatures or its third party partners or associated companies (parent or subsidiary) for use in advertising and social media outreach. As such Content may be edited and modified in order to better fit the needs of the different social media platforms and advertising.
Any information provided in Content or in signing up for the Services is provided knowing that NaturalNatures can access it, hold it, view it, and share it if need be in order to satisfy laws, regulations, legal situations, or government requests. It may also be accessed and stored and used in order to investigate infringement of Terms, safety of the services, safety of other users.
