Chat Disclaimer
SeriousHookupsM4M.com,
its owners, or employees do not encourage or discourage nudity or sexual
expression on our site. We are neutral, but we are intent that our site
be lawful and want members to be aware of the spots in the site where
these are permitted and where they are not.
In a Nutshell…
Nudity:
Basically, nudity is allowed throughout the site, as it is not covered
under 2257.
Sexually Explicit photos and
Videos:
Sexually explicit photos or videos are not allowed on profiles.
Sexual Expression In the Video,
Audio and Tex Chat and in the Im features of the site:
In Video, audio or text chat, and on IM, we do not prohibit sexual expression,
as it is constitutionally protected expression. We do not monitor IMs
and we do not get involved heavily with monitoring the chatroom, as these
are pieces of the site in which users communicate privately, as they would
for example using the telephone or video phone, in a private conversation
or conference (see below for details). We do, however, want to know if
you think a user is abusing these features or other members. Notify us
and we will take action.
Members have already signed off on the following disclaimer
when they entered the site, but reading it again will help explain in
detail our policy about nudity and sexual expression on our site (all
specifics and rationale).
Please read below to be sure you understand.
D.
As for our chat, cam and audio chat and IM with cam and audio features,
2257does not apply to these for the following reasons:
1.
These features are individual communications between users, broadcast
privately to another user or users only. All users have certified
themselves to be 18 years old or older upon joining the site (no visitors
are allowed on the site, all must join either as free or paying members.
) By joining the member indicates that they understand they may view
sexual expression, they want to view it, and consider it normal and
healthy. Further, they certify that they are aware of their local,
state and federal laws, and standards of decency and consider that
nudity and sexual expression while using this service will not violate
these. We are not responsible if they are violating these.
Members/users, by joining, indicate that their
use of Video/Audio/Text Chat or IM features on our site constitutes
a private communication between adults (like a private conversation
on the telephone or video phone, or a conference call on the telephone
or video phone). Since adult US citizens are guaranteed freedom of
speech and expression (including sexual expression) in their private
abodes or in private spaces, we allow this on our site between members.
Members/users signify by becoming a member of our site that they will
only utilize these features in their abode or in a private space (where
minors cannot view), and that they are 18 and won't involve minors
in any way with their use of the IM or Chat portion of the site (or
any portion of the site for that matter). We are not responsible for
where they choose to use their computer, they are. We are released
from any liability and any legal implications this might have... they
are responsible for that.
2.
Thus the communications, whether textual, audio or video, whether
mundane or sexual in nature, are covered under freedom of speech and
expression guaranteed by US law and constitution to all adults. US
citizens and those visiting are free to express ourselves in word
thought and deed in our own abodes, via communication devices. Citizens
of other countries upon joining the site agree to utilize the service
in accordance with the laws and standards of decency in their own
communities, states, provinces, cities etc. The pictures audio or
text conveyed when users use these features are not broadcast over
the net to surfers at large. They are broadcast only to members of
our site (who are all adults), and only to those members who choose
to view hear or see it.
3.
And just to be clear, once again, the owners of the site are not the
primary producers of any of these private, user generated broadcasts
using any of these features.
Note: Camming/Chatting is a legal, constitutionally
protected communication. It's not a public performance or a film or video.
It is a private communication between members of this site, just like
a phone call, videophone call, or conference call. And just as more than
one person can be on the end of a phone or conference call, the fact that
more than one person may be on either end does not change the fact that
it is still a private communication and is thus constitutionally protected
communication and expression. Therefore, U.S. law 2257 does not apply
to camming or chatting. Everyone in camchat has confirmed their age upon
joining the site and entering the site.
