Drooodle's Terms of Service

= SHORT VERSION: =
 Drooodle is an online tool for creating and remixing images with 
friends and strangers. By submitting images, you aknowledge that other 
people can edit, remix and republish your work within the service. 
Drooodle is made to foster creativity trough creation and destruction. 
We believe that creating things is best done together.
Our service is currently free, as an early beta offering. By signing 
up, you acknowledge that you are aware that in the future we will add 
advertising and offer you paid upgrades. Our service is designed to give
 you as much control and ownership over what goes on your account and to
 let you express yourself freely. However, be responsible in what you 
publish. In particular, make sure that none of the prohibited items 
listed below appear on your account (things like spam, viruses, or hate 
content).
The use of drooodle is a privilege, not a right. Missuse of the 
service (yes, we will be the judge), will cause you to be banned from 
the site. This means that we preserve the right to delete any image or 
delete both your user, all of your images and report you to the 
authorities if neccesary.
== Dont’s: ==
 - Don’t use drooodle if you are under 18 years of age. (We plan to 
lower our age limit later, but while we are in beta, you need to be at 
least 18 year old or get consent from your parents or guardians.)
- Don’t be a jerk or a troll when using drooodle.
- That means don’t draw, upload, discuss, spread, request or link to
 pictures or content containing obscenity, advertising, solicitations, 
"hate speech" (i.e. demeaning race, gender, age, religious or sexual 
orientation, etc.), or material that is threatening, harassing, 
defamatory, or that encourages illegality. Or anything else that 
violates local or United States law.
-Don’t use drooodle if you get mad when people are remixing your content.
== Do’s: ==
- If you see any material that you believe violate our terms of service, please email us at abuse@drooodle.com
- Have fun and play.
== About the drooodles you create: ==
Everything on drooodle is publicy available, unless you choose to 
make your content private. Private drooodles shared with a friend are 
only private until the link is shared with someone else. Eg. the 
internet.
In other words: don’t create stuff that you don’t want other people to see.
