artEquity seeks to create an environment that is centered on our values of social justice and community building. In order to support environments free from harassment, we have created guidelines for participants (“Users” below).

These content standards apply to any and all User Contributions, including but not limited to, use of or participation in all artEquity Interactive Services, which includes but is not limited to, virtual and in-person meetings, programs, and forums. User Contributions must comply with federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations. Without limiting those laws and regulations, User Contributions must not:

  • Contain any material that is defamatory, obscene, indecent, abusive, offensive, harassing, violent, hateful, inflammatory, or otherwise objectionable.
  • Promote sexually explicit or pornographic material, violence, or discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age.
  • 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 or that otherwise may be in conflict with these terms and our Privacy Policy.
  • Be likely to deceive any person.
