Rules

Wakelet promotes the free exchange of ideas and content. It is designed to allow people to share their opinions, research, thoughts, and information. We do have a few ground rules though, and they are designed to keep Wakelet free of inappropriate behaviour that are explained below.

By using the Wakelet site you confirm that you accept our Content Standards contained in these Rules and that you agree to comply with them. If you do not agree to these Rules, you must not use the Wakelet site.

Content Standards

These Content Standards apply to all content that you upload to Wakelet (“User Content”) and your use of any services and functions available on the Wakelet site from time to time which enable you to interact with Wakelet and/or other users of the Wakelet site (“Interactive Services”). User Content must in its entirety comply with all applicable local, national and international laws and regulations. The following is a list of User Content that is not allowed:

  • Defamatory, obscene, indecent, abusive, offensive, harassing, violent, hateful, inflammatory or otherwise objectionable.
