User Contributions

The Website may contain message boards, chat rooms, personal web pages or profiles, forums, bulletin boards, group pages, discussion threads, and other interactive features (collectively, “Interactive Services”) that allow users to post, submit, publish, display, or transmit to other users or other persons (hereinafter, “post”) content or materials (collectively, “User Contributions”) on or through the Website.

All User Contributions must comply with the Content Standards set out in these Terms of Service. Any User Contribution you post to the site will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. By providing any User Contribution on the Website, you grant to White Alliance and the affiliates and service providers of White Alliance, together with each of their licensees, successors and assigns, an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free right to use, republish, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute, and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for any purpose.

  • All of your User Contributions do and will comply with these Terms of Service.

You understand and acknowledge that you are responsible for any User Contributions you submit or contribute, and you, not White Alliance, have full responsibility for such content, including its legality, reliability, accuracy and appropriateness.

White Alliance is not responsible or liable to any third party for the content or accuracy of any User Contributions posted by you or any other user of the Website.

Monitoring and Enforcement; Termination

White Alliance strives to ensure that freedom of speech, excluding profanity, remains the standard of the Website for content moderation. White Alliance will make its best efforts to ensure that all content moderation decisions and enforcement of these Terms of Service do not punish users for exercising their God-given right to speak freely.

White Alliance collects comparatively little data on its users relative to other social networking sites. The default position of White Alliance is that White Alliance should implement no prior restraints on any User Contribution. However, given the breadth of speech that White Alliance permits, there may be circumstances where White Alliance is unable to determine whether content is protected by freedom of speech, excluding profanity, or not and prudence may require White Alliance to err on the side of caution. Accordingly, White Alliance reserves the right to take any action in relation to any User Contribution that White Alliance deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion, including the following:

  • Take any action in relation to any User Contribution that White Alliance deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion, including if White Alliance believes that such User Contribution violates these Terms of Service, including the Content Standards, infringes any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity, or could threaten the physical safety of users of the Website or the public.
  • Take appropriate legal action, including without limitation referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorised use of the Website or in cases of life-threatening emergency.
  • Terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Website for any violation of these Terms of Service.

It is the policy of White Alliance to not provide any user data to any person unless compelled by a court order issued by an Australian court, except in cases of life-threatening emergency.

White Alliance does not review material before it is posted on the Website and cannot ensure prompt removal of unlawful material after it has been posted. Accordingly, White Alliance assumes no liability for any action or inaction regarding transmissions, communications, or content provided by any user or third party. White Alliance has no liability or responsibility to anyone for performance or non-performance of the activities described in this section.

Content Standards

These Content Standards apply to any and all User Contributions and use of Interactive Services.

As a general rule, written expression that is protected political, religious, symbolic, or commercial speech under freedom of speech, excluding profanity, will be allowed on the Website. User Contributions absolutely must in their entirety comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations in the the country in which you live.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, User Contributions must NOT:

  • Be unlawful or be made in furtherance of any unlawful purpose. User Contributions must not aid, abet, assist, counsel, procure or solicit the commission of, nor constitute an attempt or part of a conspiracy to commit any unlawful act.
  • Unlawfully threaten.
  • Incite imminent lawless action.
  • Interfere with the operation of any computer.
  • Post content that is obscene, sexually explicit, pornographic or that contains nudity.
  • Use profanity.
  • Be excessively obnoxious, irritating or annoying.
  • Infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual property or other rights of any other person.
  • Violate the legal rights (including the rights of publicity and privacy) of others or contain any material that could give rise to any civil or criminal liability under applicable laws or regulations of the country in which you live or that otherwise may be in conflict with these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy.
  • Impersonate any person, or misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person or organisation for a purpose that is not protected by freedom of speech, excluding profanity.
  • Involve commercial activities relating to finance, investments or gambling, such as contests and sweepstakes, penny stock promotion, money transmission, or Initial Coin Offerings; or the trade of live or endangered animals or animal parts, or anything that portrays or encourages the abuse of animals.
  • Give the impression that they emanate from or are endorsed by White Alliance or any other person or entity, when this is not the case.
  • Link to any content from the above-listed categories.

White Alliance strongly encourages you to ensure that your User Contributions are cordial and civil. The foundation of a free society is people peacefully settling their differences through dialogue and debate. White Alliance exists to promote the free flow of information online. It is the view of White Alliance that the responsible exercise of one’s right to free speech is its own reward and, as a general rule, the most well-respected online publishers tend to be the ones who behave the most civilly and put forward their arguments most intelligently.

The policy of White Alliance on “hate speech” is to allow all speech which is permitted by freedom of speech, excluding profanity, and to disallow all speech which is not permitted by freedom of speech, excluding profanity. White Alliance allows hate speech if it is lawful because it is lawful. White Alliance reserves the right to remove speech when it is unlawful because it is unlawful.

White Alliance will not be tracking “hate speech”, providing any mechanism to report it specifically, nor responding to anyone who reports it. If users wish to file a report for content which is objectionable they may do so via the usual channels. If they report conduct which is lawful under freedom of speech, excluding profanity, they should expect that no action will be taken by White Alliance.

Copyright Infringement

If you believe that any User Contributions violate your copyright, please see the Copyright Policy for instructions on sending us a notice of copyright infringement. It is the policy of White Alliance to terminate the user accounts of repeat infringers.
