To keep yourBusinessChannel’s social pages informative and enjoyable for everyone, we have some expectations of how you should behave on our sites. These Channel Rules supplement and form part of yourBusinessChannel’s Terms of Use of SmarterWorld.tv.  (the Site).

By using the Site, you accept and agree to abide by these Channel Rules and the Terms of Use. We may need to revise these Channel Rules from time to time by amending this page. Please review this page regularly to ensure you are aware of any changes we make as they are legally binding on you.

Respect others’ privacy and keep personal information private
Remember that these sites are a public space, so only post things you want people to see. Never post personal details or any personally identifiable information about you or others and make sure you have the consent of anyone you feature in any videos or images that you share.

Be honest
Never impersonate other people, companies or brands or claim that someone else’s work is your own. Don’t lie about your age in order to see content restricted for people older than you.

Keep it civil and tasteful
Everyone has opinions and we want to hear them. If you disagree with something someone has posted, keep it friendly and keep it clean. Contributions that areunlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, hateful, offensive, obscene, profane, inflammatory, sexually oriented, homophobic, racially, sexually or religiously offensive or otherwise objectionable or unlawful is not acceptable and may be removed. This includes inappropriate usernames and profile pictures.

If you feel that someone is commenting inappropriately, please report the person through the site’s reporting procedures or by filling out the SmarterWorld.tv “contact us” form here.

Harassment won’t be tolerated
If you feel you’re being harassed, we recommend you initially ignore it – in most cases this will put an end to it. But if it’s particularly offensive or continues, report the person through the site’s reporting procedures or by filling out the SmarterWorld.tv “contact us” form here.

Don’t break the law (including copyright!)
Don’t post any videos, images or text showing or referencing people committing illegal acts and take care not to breach any court injunctions. Don’t post any content (including music, videos or images) that you haven’t made if you don’t have express permission to use them from the copyright owner. This includes any profile pictures.

No flooding, spamming or advertising
Flooding is when the same comment is posted over and over in the same forum; spamming is the posting of the same comment (or very similar) to more than one forum. Don’t re-post the same message, or very similar messages, more than once. This is not the place to promote your own business or related interests so please don’t post any advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, junk mail or other forms of commercial solicitation. Keep comments and links relevant – any links to pornography, commercial or other inappropriate content may be deleted.

You are responsible for content you post
All content that you contribute to the Site is your responsibility and is in no way endorsed by yourBusinessChannel. yourBusinessChannel is not responsible as author, editor or publisher of any content that it has not submitted to the Site and we expressly exclude liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of the Site by anyone in breach of these Channel Rules or our Terms of Use.
