NO COMMERCIAL OR ADVERTISING USE

While the Services are meant to be used for business purposes, they are not an advertising medium. Do not post Content that contains advertisements or solicits any person to buy or sell products or services. Recommending a product or service is OK so long as you disclose any material connection between you and the provider of such product or service. Do not use the Services for any “spammy” or other unauthorized purpose, including sending unsolicited or commercial emails, messages, comments or other communications, or collecting usernames and/or email addresses of other Authorized Users for such purposes.

REPRESENT YOURSELF TRUTHFULLY

Do not impersonate any other person or entity. Do not provide false or misleading information. 

KEEP PRIVATE INFORMATION PRIVATE

Remember that some aspects of the Services may be broadly visible to other Authorized Users and/or the general public. Do not post personal information (for example, never reveal your password, phone number, address, or similar information) in any forum on the Services that is public in nature.  In Workspaces, take care when determining whether to reveal your personal information to others. And do not reveal any personal information or private media of any other individual without their permission.
