Special Note Regarding Content:
Our site and the materials, submissions and content contained here are available only for the purpose of providing general information. This Site and the information and resources contained on this site are not intended to replace or substitute for any professional advice.
LetsVlog makes no representations and warranties and expressly disclaims any and all liability concerning actions taken by a user following the information or using the resources offered or provided on or through this site. If you have a situation that requires professional advice, you should consult a qualified specialist.
Uploaded content, regardless of its form, should be with the intent to foster community interaction, feedback, and discussion. The Letsvlog Community Group is not to be used for personal media storage. Other digital media services exist online to accomidate your possible need to store digital data for personal use, reflection and/or for the purposes of archiving. Material uploaded to Letsvlog that we deem is for personal, archival purposes will be removed with or without prior notice. This policy is in effect for public and privately labeled material. We do discourage, by the same token, the labeling or classifying of uploaded material as "private" although we allow it in small numbers.
All content uploaded to LetsVlog must be in clearly spoken or written English (American). Material which is not understandable to the Administration Team will be removed.
Youtube Embeds/Other Embeds:
Our site enables you to embed videos from other video sharing sites such as Youtube. However, we have set a limit of 1 embed per day from any member. Any additional embeds will be removed.
The reason for this policy is to encourage original content to LetsVlog. Also, it will prevent somebody from posting a large number of videos, in embed form, and fill up the entire current videos page - moving everybody else off and to the bottom. We believe this is a balanced method of handling embeds, rather than to just completely disabling them. Embedded videos have definite value. We welcome them. But we do not want to make them the primary focus of our content.
Embedding videos from Youtube Partners is prohibited. This is a violation of Youtube Term Of Use. In addition, it is an indirect way of monetizing videos for profit - on our site - which is not for profit.
Not Open Source:
The LetsVlog Community Group is not a part of a larger group. For example: We are not a part of Ning or any other white label platform. Our platform and venue of operation is not open source. Therefore, it is strictly prohibited to copy any part of our code to replicate, duplicate or emulate our site or a new site using our apperance and technical script.
