41. Terms of Service
Include in part:
“You have to be at least 13 years old to use Tumblr. We're serious: it's a hard rule, based on U.S.
federal and state legislation. “But I’m, like, 12.9 years old!” you plead. Nope, sorry. If you're younger
than 13, don't use Tumblr. Ask your parents for a Playstation 4, or try books.
…
Don't do bad things to Tumblr or to other users. Some particularly egregious examples of "bad
things" are listed in this section….
One thing you should consider before posting: When you make something publicly available on the
Internet, it becomes practically impossible to take down all copies of it….
When you upload your creations to Tumblr, you’re giving us permission to make them available in
all the ways you would expect us to (for example, via your blog, RSS, the Tumblr Dashboard, etc.).
We never want to do anything with your work that surprises you….
Something else worth noting: Countless Tumblr blogs have gone on to spawn books, films, albums,
brands, and more. Any royalties or reimbursement you get for your creations are, needless to say,
entirely yours. It's your work, and we're proud to be a part (however small) of what you
accomplish….”
