The following is a partial list of the kind of Content that is illegal or prohibited on the Web site.

Even though all of this is strictly prohibited, there is a small chance that you might become exposed to such items from other Members or Member Content. Multiply is not responsible for the content that Members submit and you hereby waive any legal or equitable rights or remedies you may have against Multiply related to such exposure.

You must use the Service in a manner consistent with any and all applicable laws and regulations.

You may not engage in advertising to, or solicitation of, other Members to buy or sell any commercial products or commercial services through the Service. You may not engage in advertising to, or solicitation of other members to buy or sell any personal products or services except in your personal Marketplace area. You may not transmit any chain letters or junk e-mail to other Members. Although Multiply cannot monitor the conduct of its Members off the Web site, it is also a violation of these rules to use any information obtained from the Multiply Service in order to harass, abuse, or harm another person, or in order to contact, advertise to, solicit, or sell to any Member without their prior explicit consent. In order to protect our Members from such advertising or solicitation, Multiply reserves the right to restrict the number of messages which a Member may send to other Members in any 24-hour period to a number which Multiply deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

We reserve the right to limit the number of times and/or the frequency with which any video or music file hosted on the Multiply Web site can be downloaded and played.
