Seventh Generation

Social Community Guidelines: We strive to maintain a respectful, engaging, and informative conversation, and we ask that any users of the Community do the same. To that end, if you wish to use any part of the Social Media Community, you must agree to the Social Media Community Terms of Service (“TOS”), available at http://7gen.us/6Z, and we ask that you follow the spirit of the community they seek to create. Please understand that User Generated Content posted to the Community is the product of other users and does not represent the opinions of Seventh Generation. This Social Media Community Comments Policy below highlights certain parts of the TOS specifically applicable to User Generated Content (including user comments) in the Community. For further information, please see the TOS. Rules of Engagement We value the collective voices of all our Community users as together we work to nurture the health of this and the next seven generations. We recognize, however, that social media often is used as a platform to propagate hate and divisiveness, which are strongly against our values. We’re committing that we will do our best to not accept any User Generated Content or behavior in the Community that is intended to discriminate against, demean, offend, or intimidate others. False information for the purposes of misleading others is also strictly prohibited. We want to keep the Community a safe and welcoming space, and we need your help to make this happen. To maintain a respectful dialogue, we have designed these Community rules of engagement. By participating in the Community in any way, you are agreeing to abide by these rules of engagement, as well as these TOS and all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations, including, without limitation, all intellectual property laws (such as U.S. copyright laws). By way of example and not as a limitation, you agree that, when using the Community in any way, you will abide by the following: o Stay focused. Conversations, shares, and User Generated Content should remain relevant to the Seventh Generation brand, products, campaigns, and/or living a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that keeps people and planet in mind. All viewpoints are welcome. o Be Kind and Courteous. Bullying and hate speech of any kind are not allowed, and User Generated Content that incites or engages in violence, intimidation, harassment, threats, or defamation targeting an individual or group based on their actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, immigration status, sex/gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, medical condition, military or veteran status, ancestry, citizenship status, or age will not be tolerated. o You will not defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or otherwise violate the legal rights of any other person o Be Truthful. Spreading misleading or false information is prohibited. Do not falsely present yourself as a representative, employee, or official of a governmental entity by accidental or deliberate means including misleading or confusing statements in your postings. o Respect people’s rights. You will not upload files that contain software or other material protected by intellectual property laws (or by rights of privacy or publicity) unless you own or control the rights thereto or have received all necessary consents. o Be Family-Friendly. Vulgarity, profanity, obscenity, indecency, and use of offensive language or images (as determined in our sole discretion) is not allowed. o Respect Everyone's Privacy. Participation in the Community requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great, but may also be sensitive and private. Some pages in the Community are private, and you might post or have access to User Generated Content not intended for the general public. Please respect the private nature of those pages and keep in mind that what's shared on the Community private pages should stay in the Community private pages. When you are on public pages in the Community, be mindful that any User Generated Content is accessible to the public. o No Promotions or Solicitations. Users are not permitted to offer products and services for sale, including Seventh Generation products. Self-promotion and sponsored content also are not allowed. You are not permitted to advertise or offer to sell or buy any goods or services for any business purpose. You are not permitted to solicit for any open jobs or positions, either temporary or permanent, or make any other type of solicitation that we in our sole discretion deem to be inappropriate. o No Spam. Users are prohibited from uploading or attaching files that contain spam, viruses, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that may damage the operation of another's computer. o No Resale of Free Products or Coupons. From time to time, we may offer opportunities to try Seventh Generation products and/or other partner products for free. All users are prohibited from reselling any Seventh Generation or partner products or coupons they receive as a user of this Community. o You are not permitted to collect users' content or information, or otherwise access the Community, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without our permission. You will not solicit login information for or access an account belonging to someone else. o You will not engage in unlawful multi-level marketing, such as a pyramid scheme or chain letters. o You will not develop or operate a third-party application containing, or advertise or otherwise market alcohol or tobacco-related or other mature content without appropriate age-based restrictions. o You will not offer any contest, giveaway, or sweepstakes ("promotion") on the Community. o You will not use the Community to do anything unlawful, misleading, malicious, or discriminatory. o You will not do anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working of the Community, such as a denial of service attack. o You will not facilitate or encourage any violations of these TOS. o You will not post anyone's identification documents or sensitive financial information on the Community. o You will not interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Community, any portion or contents thereof, or related systems or networks. o You will not use the Community in any way that degrades its reliability, speed, or operation, or underlying hardware or software. o You will not restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the Community. o You will not violate any applicable laws or regulations. You agree that, if you collect information from any Community users, you will: obtain their consent, make it clear that you (and not we) are the one collecting their information, and post a privacy policy in compliance with applicable law explaining what information you collect and how you will use it. We have the right to investigate occurrences that may involve such violations and may involve, provide information to, and cooperate with, law enforcement authorities in prosecuting users who are involved in such violations. You are solely responsible and liable for any activity, behavior, use, and/or conduct that breaches any terms or conditions of these TOS. You agree we have no responsibility to you or to any third party for any breach of your obligations under these TOS or for the consequences (including any loss or damage that we may suffer) of any such breach. Persons found in violation of any of these rules or any aspect of these TOS, as decided by us in our sole discretion, may have their access to the Community blocked and their Membership revoked. Violations of system or network security or these TOS may result in civil or criminal liability. Right to Monitor We are committed to monitoring the Community to enable a respectful experience. We reserve the right to monitor, moderate, regulate, screen, or prescreen (together, “monitor”) any User Generated Content posted by any user of the Community. We reserve the unconditional right to remove, move, or edit (together, “remove”) any User Generated Content that we in our sole discretion consider unacceptable. Generally, User Generated Content will not be edited or modified to remove unacceptable content, but instead the entire content will be removed. Some of the reasons we may consider User Generated Content to be unacceptable include if it: • Is abusive, vulgar, obscene, racist, threatening, or harassing; • Contains libel, slander, or personal attacks of any kind, including the use of offensive terms that target specific individuals or groups; • Is spam; • Makes unsupported accusations; • Is not relevant to the subject of the post to which it relates; • Is suggestive of or encourages illegal, dangerous, or destructive activity; • Is a duplicative post; • Is clearly off topic; • Contains political campaigning or lobbying; • Violates these TOS; • Reasonably could be construed as a violation of federal, state, or other applicable law, including laws prohibiting anti-competitive activities or unfair trade practices; • Infringes any other person’s or entity's rights, including but not limited to proprietary, copyright, trademark, service mark, trade dress, or privacy-related rights. Our commitment to you. We permit users to post User Generated Content subject to our rights to monitor and remove. Seventh Generation staff will monitor the Community M-F 9-5pm EST, excluding holidays. We will make reasonable efforts to monitor User Generated Content for any material that is unacceptable as we determine in our sole discretion, and when we identify such material, we will make reasonable efforts to remove it. Every user of the Community has the power and responsibility to help elevate the level of conversation and remove those who would degrade it. If any User Generated Content does not seem to be in adherence with these TOS, you can "Report/Mark as spam." Taking these simple actions helps bring appropriate content to the top and remove bad content quickly. We recognize that the Internet is a 24/7 medium, and we welcome your comments at any time. We will try to respond to your questions, comments, or requests as quickly as possible. To expedite a customer service issue, please send us a direct message. (See the Contact Us section of these TOS.) Users who subsequently post User Generated Content that violates these TOS may no longer be permitted to use the Community. Users may contact Seventh Generation for information about any removals of their User Generated Content and any denial of Community access related to their User Generated Content. (See the Contact Us section of these TOS.) Right of Appeal. Any user who is denied access to or use of the Community for violation of any hateful activities provision of these TOS may appeal the decision to deny the user’s access to or use of the Community by contacting Seventh Generation. (See the Contact Us section of these TOS.) The user may present evidence supporting the appeal. Seventh Generation will have the appeal reviewed and determined by a neutral decision-maker who was not the original decision-maker and who has relevant knowledge and expertise.
