Broadside Blogging Policy

Content Restrictions
Broadside bloggers cannot post anything that is illegal, obscene, defamatory or threatening. Likewise, content cannot infringe on intellectual property rights, be invasive of privacy and be otherwise injurious or objectionable. The Broadside name cannot be used to endorse or promote a product, opinion or cause. Any promotion of the above must be identified as the blogger’s own opinion and not that of Broadside. Bloggers must abide by all rules and regulations restricting all staff members.

Content Ownership
Broadside will not own blogger content, yet bloggers must agree to having their content copied, distributed, displayed or performed through RSS feeds and other online and print means. In every case, the blog author’s name will be attributed along with a link to the blog. Broadside also reserves the right to publish blogger material in print or other media.

Broadside is not liable under any circumstances or in any way for any errors, omissions, losees or damages incurred as a result of blogger content. The evaluation of blog content and burden of risks remain solely on the blog’s author.

Reserved Rights
Broadside reserves the right to remove its association/linkage to any content that infringes on that discussed in ‘content restrictions.’ Broadside reserves the right to remove all linkage to the blog and strip the blog of all logos/images/text/links/other items designating it as affiliated with Broadside. Broadside also reserves the right to delet posts that contain inappropriate material. In cases where bloggers repeatedly post inappropriate content on the blog, Broadside reserves the right to delete the entire blog.

Both parties understand that bloggers, in agreeing with this policy, only gains access to the use of the system, and are not, by any virtue of the blogging relationship, members of the staff. Broadside is the provider of the service, and along with any ownership, disclaims any control other than the control that could be exercised by a service provider.

When and if the agreement terminates, in no event will the termination create liability for either party to the other.

Term Modification
Broadside reserves the right to alter these terms at any time. All bloggers will be notified if this occurs.
