worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license in your Content. We reserve the
right to use, copy, reproduce process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit,

“Content”), You are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm
resulting from, that Content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted.
That is the case regardless of whether the Content in question constitutes text,
graphics, or audio. When you post something, you represent that you have the
authority necessary to grant us the right to use the Content
Tailgater does not monitor or control content posted via the Service, so any
reliance by you on any Content posted on the service is at your own risk. We do
not guarantee, support, or represent the truthfulness, veracity, or accuracy of
any Content posted on the Service. You understand that posted Content may be

4. Acceptable Use
The internet is a free, open forum, and a lot goes on here, good and bad. When
you post on Tailgater, you agree to limit your Content to the “good” side of
things. Let us explain.
There are many things we don’t tolerate, and here they are: spamming,
pornography or adult-oriented content, abusive language in the form of extensive
cursing or vulgar language, harassment, threats, racial slurs, defamatory
statements, viruses, malware, inciting the violation of our terms, and anything
else a rational person would view as objectionable or unconscionable. We reserve
the right to modify or delete any such Content posted to the Service and
permanently delete the account of the offender. We understand that when sports
are involved, rivalry is involved. This often means demeaning other teams, being
rude to opposing fans, and just bashing in general. We appreciate good rivalries
and discussions and agree that some teams should simply just pack up and go home
before they ever step on the field (along with their fans). However, when
communicating these sentiments, do it in a respectful way.
