The content you upload, transmit, distribute, store, create or otherwise publish through the Service must comply with the user content and conduct rules below.  Enforcement of these rules is solely at Mobi Stream’s discretion, and failure to enforce such rules in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce such rules in other instances.  In addition, these rules do not create any private right of action on the part of any third-party or any reasonable expectation that the Service will not contain any content that is prohibited by such rules.

You agree not to upload, transmit, distribute, store, create or otherwise publish through the Service any of the following:

 

Using the Mobi Stream Service does not grant you any rights not granted to you by the Game Publisher.  If you would like to share videos that feature or contain elements of a game for any purpose other than non-commercial purposes, you must contract the applicable Game Publisher. The games and the assets and elements of the games are subject to Game Publisher’s proprietary rights.

 

The Service is provided to you free of charge.  Mobi Stream is able to provide the Service to its users for no charge because the Service is supported by other revenue sources including advertising and download referral fees. You acknowledge and agree that any advertising or other revenue derived from content that you share on the Service or via the Service to Connected Sites and/or other sites does not belong to you. It belongs to Mobi Stream.

 

By using a game that has embedded the Service, your use of the game and related activities (e.g., sharing content) are subject to the applicable Game Publisher's terms and conditions. Likewise, by interacting with a Connected Site (whether sharing content with a Connected Site or otherwise), your interactions with the Connected Site are subject to the applicable Connected Site's terms and conditions. Since your Content and the way you use it may be subject to the terms and conditions of Game Publishers and Connected Sites, please review the policies and terms of such Games Publishers and Connected Sites.

 

Game Publishers, at their sole discretion, may (but do not have an obligation to) remove, screen or edit certain content or other information uploaded, transmitted, distributed, stored, created or otherwise published through the Service embedded in their games. For instance, if a Game Publisher believes that a user is sharing content detailing ways to cheat in a game, the Game Publisher may remove such content.

 

Game Publishers may use an API to access content you have uploaded, transmitted, distributed, stored, created or otherwise published through the Service and/or your social connections on the Service and use such content and information in its games. For example, a Game Publisher may show content from Mobi Stream in its game's main menu.

 

Mobi Stream does not control, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding, any games or the acts, omissions or otherwise of Game Publisher or Connected Sites including, but not limited to, the content, accuracy, quality, nature, appropriateness, decency, functionality, performance, reliability, completeness, timeliness, validity, safety, legality or any other aspect thereof.
