Policies

I.	Features and Functionality

You must not violate any law or the rights of any individual or entity, and must not expose Facebook or Facebook users to harm or legal liability as determined by us in our sole discretion. In particular you will (if applicable): comply with the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), and obtain any opt-in consent necessary from users so that user data subject to the VPPA may be shared on Facebook. You represent that any disclosure to us will not be incidental to the ordinary course of your business.

You must not include functionality that proxies, requests or collects Facebook usernames or passwords.

You must not circumvent (or claim to circumvent) our intended limitations on core Facebook features and functionality.

If you offer a service for a user that integrates user data into a physical product (such as a scrapbook or calendar), you must only create a physical product for that user’s personal and non-commercial use.

If you exceed, or plan to exceed, any of the following thresholds please contact us (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxxx/?xxx000000000000000) as you may be subject to additional terms: (>5M MAU) or (>100M API calls per day) or (>50M impressions per day).

Your website must offer an explicit “Log Out” option that also logs the user out of Facebook.

Special provision for apps on Pages: When a user visits your Page, if they have not given explicit permission by authorizing your Facebook app or directly providing information to your Page, you may only use information obtained from us and the user’s interaction with your Page in connection with that Page. For example, although you may use aggregate analytics for your individual Page, you must not combine information from any other sources to customize the user’s experience on your Page and may not use any information about the user’s interaction with your Page in any other context (such as analytics or customization across other Pages or websites).

You must not use or make derivative use of Facebook icons, or use terms for Facebook features and functionality, if such use could confuse users into thinking that the reference is to Facebook features or functionality.

Mobile Web Apps that are running within the Facebook iOS app must not accept payments. In particular, these apps must not reference, use, or otherwise encourage the use of Facebook Payments or other non-iOS approved payment methods.

10.

Reciprocity and Replicating core functionality: (a) Reciprocity: Facebook Platform enables developers to build personalized, social experiences via the Graph API and related APIs. If you use any Facebook APIs to build personalized or social experiences, you must also enable people to easily share their experiences back with people on Facebook. (b) Replicating core functionality: You may not use Facebook Platform to promote, or to export user data to, a product or service that replicates a core Facebook product or service without our permission.

11.

The primary purpose of your Canvas or Page Tab app on Facebook must not be to simply redirect users out of the Facebook experience and onto an external site.

12.

You must not include data obtained from us in any search engine or directory without our written permission.

13.

Special provisions for games:

Desktop web games off of Xxxxxxxx.xxx (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx) may only use Facebook Login (Authentication, (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) excluding user connections such as friend list), Social Plugins (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxxx) and publishing (e.g., Feed Dialog, Stream Publish, or Open Graph). When authenticating, these games may not request additional permissions (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx) other than age, email, and our Publishing Permissions (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxxxxxx).

Games on Xxxxxxxx.xxx (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx) and mobile must not share the same app ID with desktop web games off of Xxxxxxxx.xxx (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx). You must not use Canvas (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/#xxxxxx/) apps to promote or link to game sites off of Facebook, and must not use emails obtained from us to promote or link to desktop web games off of Xxxxxxxx.xxx (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx).

Games on Xxxxxxxx.xxx (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx) or Mobile Web must use Facebook Payments as their sole and exclusive payment method for all virtual goods and currencies made available to users within the game. All other payment options are prohibited within games on Xxxxxxxx.xxx (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx) or Mobile Web unless they go through Facebook Payments rather than directly through that payment option. By “Payment Method” we mean any method that allows a user to complete a transaction in a game that is on Xxxxxxxx.xxx (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx) or Mobile Web, including, without limitation, by exchanging monetary value for virtual currency or virtual goods, whether directly at the time of purchase or via any previous transaction such as the user’s earlier purchase of a prepaid gift card or electronic code. In-game rewards of virtual currency or virtual goods earned by users through game-play activity alone are exempt from this definition.

Games on Xxxxxxxx.xxx (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx) or Mobile Web may reward users with virtual currency or virtual goods in exchange for user actions that do not involve third parties, but rewards for user actions that involve third parties must be powered by Facebook Payments by integrating Facebook Payments offers. For example, you may not reward users with virtual currency or virtual goods in exchange for any action in which personally identifiable information is shared with a third party, you may not reward users with virtual currency or virtual goods in exchange for third party downloads, such as toolbars or ringtones, and you may not reward users with virtual currency for engaging in passive actions offered by third parties, such as watching a video, playing a mini-game, or taking an anonymous poll.

II.

Data Collection and Use

You will only request the data you need to operate your application.

You may cache data you receive through use of the Facebook API in order to improve your application’s user experience, but you should try to keep the data up to date. This permission does not give you any rights to such data.

You will have a privacy policy that tells users what user data you are going to use and how you will use, display, share, or transfer that data. In addition, you will include your privacy policy URL in the App Dashboard, and must also include a link to your app’s privacy policy in any app marketplace that provides you with the functionality to do so.

Until you display a conspicuous link to your privacy policy in your app, any data accessed by your app (including basic account information) may only be used in the context of the user’s experience in that app. A user’s friends’ data can only be used in the context of the user’s experience on your application.

Subject to certain restrictions, including on use and transfer, users give you their basic account information when they connect with your application. For all other data obtained through use of the Facebook API, you must obtain explicit consent from the user who provided the data to us before using it for any purpose other than displaying it back to the user on your application.

You will not directly or indirectly transfer any data you receive from us, including user data or Facebook User IDs, to (or use such data in connection with) any ad network, ad exchange, data broker, or other advertising or monetization related toolset, even if a user consents to such transfer or use. By indirectly we mean you cannot, for example, transfer data to a third party who then transfers the data to an ad network. By any data we mean all data obtained through use of the Facebook Platform (API, Social Plugins, etc.), including aggregate, anonymous or derivative data.

You will not use Facebook User IDs for any purpose outside your application (e.g., your infrastructure, code, or services necessary to build and run your application). Facebook User IDs may be used with external services that you use to build and run your application, such as a web infrastructure service or a distributed computing platform, but only if those services are necessary to running your application and the service has a contractual obligation with you to keep Facebook User IDs confidential.

If you need an anonymous unique identifier to share outside your application with third parties such as content partners, advertisers, or ad networks, you must use our mechanism (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxx/xxxx/). You must never share this anonymous unique identifier with a data broker, information broker, or any other service that we may define as such under our sole discretion.

You will not sell or purchase any data obtained from us by anyone. If you are acquired by or merge with a third party, you can continue to use user data within your application, but you cannot transfer data outside your application.

10.

If you stop using Platform or we disable your application, you must delete all information about a user you have received from us unless: (a) it is basic account information; or (b) you have received explicit consent from the user to retain their data.

11.

You cannot use a user’s friend list outside of your application, even if a user consents to such use, but you can use connections between users who have both connected to your application.

12.

You will delete all data you receive from us concerning a user if the user asks you to do so, and will provide an easily accessible mechanism for users to make such a request. We may require you to delete data you receive from the Facebook API if you violate our terms.

13.

You will not include data you receive from us concerning a user in any advertising creative, even if a user consents to such use.

14.

You must not give your secret key and access tokens to another party, unless that party is an agent acting on your behalf as an operator of your application. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account identifiers.

15.

Sharing information with Facebook:

You must not use, display, share, or transfer a user’s data in a manner inconsistent with your privacy policy, and must not give us information that you independently collect from a user or a user’s content without that user’s consent.

You must provide an opt-out to users where required.

You must not knowingly share information with us that you have collected from children under the age of 13 unless you obtain verifiable parental consent that covers Facebook’s collection, use and disclosure in compliance with applicable law.

Web sites or services directed to children under 13: If you use Social Plugins or our JavaScript SDK for Facebook on sites and services that are directed to children under 13, you are responsible for complying with all applicable laws. For example, if your web site or service is directed to children in the United States, or knowingly collects personal information from children in the United States, you must comply with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. You must also adhere to our usage notes (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxx/).

We will use information we receive from you in accordance with our Data Use Policy (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxx/), including to provide you with insights about the effectiveness of your ads and the use of your app. We can analyze your app, content, and data for any purpose, including commercial (such as for targeting the delivery of ads on and off Facebook and indexing content for search). You can limit your sharing of information with us by updating the Insights section within the Advanced tab in the App Dashboard.

III.

Content

General

Responsibility for content: You are responsible for all content of and within your application, including advertisements, user-generated content, and any content hosted, streamed or otherwise delivered to users by third parties. You must make it clear that this content is not provided by Facebook. You must also comply with the Facebook Community Standards (xxxxx://xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

Demographic restrictions: You are responsible for restricting access to your content in accordance with our content policies and all applicable laws and regulations. Although we provide controls (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxx/xxxxxxxxxxx/#xxxxxxxxxxxx) to assist with this, please note that we make no representations regarding the sufficiency of any controls provided to you and that you are ultimately responsible for establishing legally compliant restrictions for each country where your app is visible.

Advertisements and cross-promotions:

You must not include advertisements, cross-promote other applications, or provide web search functionality in content distributed through Facebook social channels.

You can only utilize advertising or similar monetization related products or services from companies that appear on this list of Advertising Providers (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxxx) within Apps on Xxxxxxxx.xxx (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx).

Promotions: If you run, reference, or facilitate a promotion (contest, competition, or sweepstake) on Facebook, you must comply with Facebook’s Promotions Guidelines (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx_xxxxxxxxxx.xxx#xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

Permission from Facebook: You must not promote, or provide content referencing, facilitating, or containing online gambling, online real money games of skill or online lotteries without our written permission.

Quality of content: you are responsible for providing users with a quality experience and must not confuse, defraud, mislead, spam or surprise users. For example, you must monitor your app’s negative feedback in Application Insights (xxxxx://xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx) to ensure it stays below our thresholds, avoid excessive advertisements or bugs, and ensure the description of your app is consistent with your app’s content.

B.	Content Rights

You agree that you will not promote or provide content that references, facilitates, contains or uses content that infringes upon the rights of any third party, including intellectual property rights, privacy, publicity, moral or other personal or proprietary rights, or that is deceptive or fraudulent.

You must ensure that you own or have secured all rights necessary to copy, display, distribute, deliver, render and publicly perform all content of or within your application to Facebook users in all countries where you make the content available.

You are responsible for all licensing, reporting and payout obligations to third parties required in connection with content of or within your application.

You must use commercially reasonable geo-filtering technology to block access to your application’s content in countries where you are unauthorized to deliver such content, or where delivery of such content would otherwise infringe the rights of a third party.

Although we have no obligation to do so, in our sole discretion we may request, and you are required to provide us, proof that your application and any content of or within your application is properly licensed.

C.	Third Party Content

If your application contains content submitted or provided by third parties, you must comply with the following rules:

In the United States you must take all steps required to fall within the applicable safe harbors of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act including designating an agent to receive notices of claimed infringement, instituting a repeat infringer termination policy and implementing a “notice and takedown” process. In other countries, you must comply with local copyright laws and implement an appropriate “notice and takedown” process upon receiving a notice of claimed infringement.

IV.

Application Integration Points

You must not incentivize users to use (or gate content behind the use of) Facebook social channels, or imply that an incentive is directly tied to the use of our channels.

You must not pre-fill any of the fields associated with the following products, unless the user manually generated the content earlier in the workflow: Stream stories (user_message parameter for Facebook.streamPublish and FB.Connect.streamPublish, and message parameter for stream.publish), Photos (caption), Videos (description), Notes (title and content), Links (comment), and Jabber/XMPP.

If a user grants you a publishing permission (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxx/#xxxxxxxxxxx), actions you take on the user’s behalf must be expected by the user and consistent with the user’s actions within your app.

Platform integrations, including social plugins:

Your advertisements must not include or be paired with any Platform integrations, including social plugins such as the Like button, without our written permission.

You must not sell or purchase placement of our Social Plugins (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxxx), and must not facilitate or participate in any like exchange program.

You must not incentivize users to Like any Page other than your own site or application, and any incentive you provide must be available to new and existing users who Like your Page.

You must not obscure or cover elements of our social plugins, such as the Like button or Like box plugin.

Ad networks, ad exchanges, and data brokers must not use Facebook’s Platform, logos, and trademarks (including, but not limited to, Platform APIs, social plugins, the Share button, and the F logo).

Facebook messaging (i.e., email sent to an @xxxxxxxx.xxx address) is designed for communication between users, and not a channel for applications to communicate directly with users.

Requests (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx): you may not offer a select all option or pre-select multiple recipients to receive a Request (effective January 8, 2014).

V.	Enforcement

We can take enforcement action against you and any or all of your applications if we determine in our sole judgment that you or your application violates Facebook Platform Terms and Policies. Enforcement action is both automated and manual, and can include disabling your application, restricting you and your application’s access to Platform functionality, terminating our agreements with you, or any other action as we in our sole discretion deem appropriate.

Communication with developers takes place via an email sent from the xxxxxxxx.xxx or xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx domain to the contact email address registered to the application. To stay in touch, please ensure that your email address is current and that you do not filter out any such messages.

VI.

Changes

We can change these Platform Policies at any time without prior notice as we deem necessary. Your continued use of Platform constitutes acceptance of those changes.

VII.

Definitions

By “Application” we mean canvas page application, Platform integration, or any other technical integration we have assigned an application identification number.

By “Facebook social channel” we mean Application Info Section, Page Tab, Feed, Requests (including invites), inbox attachments, Chat, Cover, Bookmarks, or any other feature of a user profile or Facebook communication channel in which or through which an application can provide, display, or deliver content directed at, on behalf of, or by permission of a user.

By “basic account information” we mean: name, email, gender, birthday, current city, and profile picture URL.

By “Facebook Platform Terms and Policies” we mean the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities and the Platform Policies.

By “User data you receive from Facebook” we mean any data or content (including any images, text, or other information or materials) you receive from us, that was provided by users to us, or was associated by us with a particular user.

VIII. Branding

and Promotion Policy

Your app’s description, display name and icons must adhere to our Advertising Guidelines (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xx_xxxxxxxxxx.xxx).

IX.

Advertising Guidelines

(xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xx_xxxxxxxxxx.xxx)

X.	Facebook Developer Payments Terms

(xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxxx)

Developers participating in the program for accepting payments are subject to these terms.

XI.

Ads API

Separate apps: You must use separate apps for your staging, self-service, managed service, and white-labeled apps. If you offer a white-label version of your app, you must only do so by creating a unique app for each end-advertiser (or requiring each end-advertiser to create their own app) and you must include a required field for the third party to agree to Facebook’s Platform Policies.

Separate ad accounts: You must use separate ad accounts for each end-advertiser and use our multi-client manager functionality to structure your end-advertiser accounts. You must never combine multiple end-advertisers within the same ad account, and this includes their Facebook connections (ex: pages and apps).

Freemium: If you offer a free or trial version of an ads API app, you must allow no more than 50 ad creations per day per customer, require phone or email verification for all new accounts, and prohibit affiliate networks from using your technology.

Pricing transparency:

You must only charge fees for the use of your tools and managed services, and must only do so on a fixed fee (per campaign or period) or variable percentage of ad spend. You must disclose to your clients the actual amount that you spent on Facebook advertising based on the auction pricing, including the actual Facebook metrics (e.g. CPC, CPM rate) and the amount you charged as fees. We reserve the right to disclose this information to your client upon their request. We may require documentation from you to ensure your compliance with this policy.

You must not sell ads on a fixed CPM or CPC basis when using the Facebook advertising auction without our prior permission.

Data collection and use:

You may place 1x1 pixel view tags on certain advertisements with our prior authorization.

All data collected or obtained by you or the end-advertiser, including but not limited to all view tag data that is not otherwise available through the Facebook service, and all data derived therefrom, may only be used by you or the end-advertiser on an anonymous basis to optimize and measure the performance of that end-advertiser’s Facebook campaign. Neither you nor the end-advertiser may use data for the following purposes: retargeting whether on or off of the Facebook service; to commingle data across an advertiser’s campaigns from multiple platforms; to build or augment any user profiles, or to use piggybacking or redirects with the 1x1 pixel tags, or for any other purpose not expressly authorized by us.

You must not permit any person (other than an agent acting on the end-advertiser’s behalf) to access the end-advertiser’s Ad or Sponsored Story advertising statistics, including but not limited to, fixed CPM rates and any other raw, aggregate, or anonymous statistics derived from this data.

Separate Reporting: If you use last-click attribution, create reporting tools that separate Facebook reporting from other channels. For example, don’t create reporting dashboards that directly compare Facebook Ads metrics to search or display marketing metrics on a last-click basis. If you support other channels, you must either create a separate Facebook tool, include Facebook metrics in a separate Facebook section of your tool, or show multi-touch attribution results side-by-side with last-click attribution results. You may report Facebook mobile ads ROI metrics as they relate to other mobile ads channels.

Self-service reporting for Homepage ads: You must include a self-service reporting dashboard, through which end-advertisers may access up-to-date reports (raw ad statistics) for all available data points of their Homepage Ad and Sponsored Story campaigns.

Bidding types: You must implement all bidding types, including Optimized CPM, and you must not default to a specific type (ex: you must not default to CPC and hide oCPM).

Custom Audiences:

If you use custom audiences you must comply with the Custom Audience Terms (xxxxx://xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxx.xxx).

You may create a custom audience on a client’s behalf but must only use the client’s customer data to do so (ex: you must not collect or provide any additional data to create a custom audience).

You must not use Facebook User IDs to create custom audiences unless the person associated with the User ID has logged into your client’s app and your client has secured any necessary consent from that person (ex: you must not create a custom audience based on users who have engaged with a Facebook Page).

You must not sell custom audiences, and must not transfer a custom audience to anyone without our permission.

Your custom audience tool may provide the same functionality and targeting options that Facebook provides, but you must not provide additional data or targeting options.

10.

Enforcement: You must immediately revoke an end-advertiser’s access to your app upon our request.

Examples and Explanations

We want you to be successful on Facebook Platform, and we believe that the best way to do so is to provide a great user experience. Our Platform Policies will help you do this by explaining what’s required; these examples and explanations (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxxxx_xxx_xxxxxxxxxxx) will help you understand how to put that into practice.

Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

This agreement was written in English (US). To the extent any translated version of this agreement conflicts with the English version, the English version controls. Please note that Section 17 contains certain changes to the general terms for users outside the United States.

Date of Last Revision: December 11, 2012.

Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities (“Statement,” “Terms,” or “SRR”) derives from the Facebook Principles, and is our terms of service that governs our relationship with users and others who interact with Facebook. By using or accessing Facebook, you agree to this Statement, as updated from time to time in accordance with Section 14 below. Additionally, you will find resources at the end of this document that help you understand how Facebook works.

1.	Privacy

Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Data Use Policy (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxx) to make important disclosures about how you can use Facebook to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Data Use Policy, and to use it to help you make informed decisions.

2.	Sharing Your Content and Information

You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/?xxxxxxxxxxx) and application settings (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/?xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). In addition:

For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx) and application settings (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx.xxx): you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.

When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).

When you use an application, the application may ask for your permission to access your content and information as well as content and information that others have shared with you. We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information. (To learn more about Platform, including how you can control what information other people may share with applications, read our Data Use Policy (xxxxx://xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxx) and Platform Page (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx).)

When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).

We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Facebook, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).

3.	Safety

We do our best to keep Facebook safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to keep Facebook safe, which includes the following commitments by you:

You will not post unauthorized commercial communications (such as spam) on Facebook.

You will not collect users’ content or information, or otherwise access Facebook, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without our prior permission.

You will not engage in unlawful multi-level marketing, such as a pyramid scheme, on Facebook.

You will not upload viruses or other malicious code.

You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging to someone else.

You will not bully, intimidate, or harass any user.

You will not post content that: is hate speech, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.

You will not develop or operate a third-party application containing alcohol-related, dating or other mature content (including advertisements) without appropriate age-based restrictions.

You will follow our Promotions Guidelines (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxx.xxx) and all applicable laws if you publicize or offer any contest, giveaway, or sweepstakes (“promotion”) on Facebook.

10.

You will not use Facebook to do anything unlawful, misleading, malicious, or discriminatory.

11.

You will not do anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working or appearance of Facebook, such as a denial of service attack or interference with page rendering or other Facebook functionality.

12.

You will not facilitate or encourage any violations of this Statement or our policies.

4.	Registration and Account Security

Facebook users provide their real names and information, and we need your help to keep it that way. Here are some commitments you make to us relating to registering and maintaining the security of your account:

You will not provide any false personal information on Facebook, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission.

You will not create more than one personal account.

If we disable your account, you will not create another one without our permission.

You will not use your personal timeline primarily for your own commercial gain, and will use a Facebook Page for such purposes.

You will not use Facebook if you are under 13.

You will not use Facebook if you are a convicted sex offender.

You will keep your contact information accurate and up-to-date.

You will not share your password (or in the case of developers, your secret key), let anyone else access your account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account.

You will not transfer your account (including any Page or application you administer) to anyone without first getting our written permission.

10.

If you select a username or similar identifier for your account or Page, we reserve the right to remove or reclaim it if we believe it is appropriate (such as when a trademark owner complains about a username that does not closely relate to a user’s actual name).

5.	Protecting Other People’s Rights

We respect other people’s rights, and expect you to do the same.

You will not post content or take any action on Facebook that infringes or violates someone else’s rights or otherwise violates the law.

We can remove any content or information you post on Facebook if we believe that it violates this Statement or our policies.

We provide you with tools to help you protect your intellectual property rights. To learn more, visit our How to Report Claims of Intellectual Property Infringement page (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxxxx.xxx?xxxxx_xxxxxx).

If we remove your content for infringing someone else’s copyright, and you believe we removed it by mistake, we will provide you with an opportunity to appeal.

If you repeatedly infringe other people’s intellectual property rights, we will disable your account when appropriate.

You will not use our copyrights or trademarks (including Facebook, the Facebook and F Logos, FB, Face, Poke, Book and Wall), or any confusingly similar marks, except as expressly permitted by our Brand Usage Guidelines or with our prior written permission.

If you collect information from users, you will: obtain their consent, make it clear you (and not Facebook) are the one collecting their information, and post a privacy policy explaining what information you collect and how you will use it.

You will not post anyone’s identification documents or sensitive financial information on Facebook.

You will not tag users or send email invitations to non-users without their consent. Facebook offers social reporting tools to enable users to provide feedback about tagging.

6.	Mobile and Other Devices

We currently provide our mobile services for free, but please be aware that your carrier’s normal rates and fees, such as text messaging fees, will still apply.

In the event you change or deactivate your mobile telephone number, you will update your account information on Facebook within 48 hours to ensure that your messages are not sent to the person who acquires your old number.

You provide consent and all rights necessary to enable users to sync (including through an application) their devices with any information that is visible to them on Facebook.

7.	Payments

If you make a payment on Facebook or use Facebook Credits, you agree to our Payments Terms.

8.	Special Provisions Applicable to Social Plugins

If you include our Social Plugins, such as the Share or Like buttons on your website, the following additional terms apply to you:

We give you permission to use Facebook’s Social Plugins so that users can post links or content from your website on Facebook.

You give us permission to use and allow others to use such links and content on Facebook.

You will not place a Social Plugin on any page containing content that would violate this Statement if posted on Facebook.

9.	Special Provisions Applicable to Developers/Operators of Applications and Websites

If you are a developer or operator of a Platform application or website, the following additional terms apply to you:

You are responsible for your application and its content and all uses you make of Platform. This includes ensuring your application or use of Platform meets our Facebook Platform Policies and our Advertising Guidelines (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xx_xxxxxxxxxx.xxx).

Your access to and use of data you receive from Facebook, will be limited as follows:

You will only request data you need to operate your application.

You will have a privacy policy that tells users what user data you are going to use and how you will use, display, share, or transfer that data and you will include your privacy policy URL in the Developer Application (xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxx).

Facebook Developer Payments Terms

The Facebook Payments service (“Facebook Payments”) helps developers who wish to offer premium in-game content generate revenue, so they can focus on creating apps, games, and features (generically, “apps”) rather than on building payment systems.

Facebook Developer Payments Terms

Date of Last Revision: September 6, 2012

To enhance the quality, convenience, and security of the user experience on Facebook, these Facebook Developer Payments Terms (the “Terms”) apply to all developers of apps using Facebook Payments. We have provided section headers for your convenience, but you should carefully read though these Terms in order to understand your rights and responsibilities, as well as ours.

This agreement was written in English (US). To the extent any translated version of this agreement conflicts with the English version, the English version controls.

Additional Languages (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxxx/#xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

1.	Transactions

Eligibility. We may approve or deny your request to integrate Facebook Payments at our sole discretion. You must be eighteen (18) years of age or older to integrate Facebook Payments in your app; in addition, you may not be listed as an administrator for a Payments-enabled app if you are under the age of sixteen (16). We may also revoke your eligibility to continue utilizing Facebook Payments at any time at our sole discretion.

Roles of parties. You accept responsibility for fulfilling each transaction pursuant to the terms you offer. Facebook is not involved in any underlying transaction between or among developers and users.

Pricing. Price-setting in apps is governed by the following rules:

You may price items for sale in your own local currency where such pricing is supported. However, if you are pricing in the Facebook Credits virtual currency (“Credits”) you may not price items for sale in fractions of Credits.

You may not price an item differently based on a user’s electronic value Balance.

You may allow users to import your in-game virtual currency or items from your website or other platform that the user is connected to, but you must adhere to the following:

You must offer the same price on Facebook that you offer to logged-in Facebook users on your own website or other platform app; and

You may not incentivize logged-in Facebook users to make a purchase on your website or in an app on another platform by, for example, providing free or discounted goods or services that are not available to purchasers on Facebook.

Prohibitions. Facebook Payments does not allow the following types of transactions:

You may not conduct a transaction for which the promotion or execution is prohibited on Facebook.

You may not utilize Facebook Payments to sell virtual currency or other stored-value item that can be used outside of the app where the transaction was completed. You may not accept electronic value from a user in one app and then deliver or transfer the purchased item to the user in another app without our prior authorization. For example, an app solely designed to facilitate transactions is not permitted.

Except as a method of purchasing within your app in accordance with these Terms or with our prior written authorization, you may not sell, trade, or exchange electronic value, including without limitation Credits or Gift Card balances, with any third party, nor may you enable or allow others to do so.

You may not accept Credits as payment for tangible goods, including as payment for anything that may subsequently be used to acquire tangible goods, defined as any good that is physically delivered to a user.

Except with our prior authorization, you may not use Facebook Payments to solicit, collect, or transfer funds for charitable causes.

Any items, virtual currency, or services you offer on or through Facebook are considered to be content or apps posted by you to Facebook under the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. You may not offer any items, virtual currency, or services on or through Facebook that require consent or other rights from any third party unless you have obtained all such rights. You may not offer any item, virtual currency, or service that would require us to pay any fee or royalty to any third party. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any claim arising out of or related to your failure to comply with this paragraph.

Except with our prior authorization, you may not administer a promotion on Facebook in which a user’s purchase of in-game items or virtual currency contributes to or results in eligibility to win any prize of value. To request permission, please contact us and include an opinion letter from your legal counsel that explains why your game does not constitute gambling and instead is a lawful activity in all jurisdictions where the promotion is available to users.

Non-disclosure. You will not use or disclose any user’s payment information obtained from us for any purpose other than to complete the transaction for which the information was obtained.

Other terms apply. You may offer supplemental terms and conditions in conjunction with your sales; however they may not conflict with Facebook terms or policies. You must comply with Facebook’s Brand Asset Guidelines.

2.	Balance Tracking

Developer Balance. Developers using Facebook Payments will have a Developer Balance with Facebook. Whenever you complete a sale on our platform, Facebook will credit the proceeds from that sale, less our service fee, to your Developer Balance. Facebook will earn a 30% service fee, plus any applicable sales tax or VAT, in connection with each Facebook Payments transaction on our platform.

Nature of Service. Facebook is not a bank and does not offer banking services. You will not earn interest on your Developer Balance. Developer Balances are not deposit obligations and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, or any other entity or insurance scheme, whether governmental or private. All Developer Balances are held and expressed in United States Dollars; if your transaction was in a different currency, proceeds from the sale will be converted at the time of the transaction according to the day’s published exchange rate before being credited to your Developer Balance.

Payout. We will redeem your Developer Balance according to the following rules:

We can redeem your Developer Balance only if we have your current banking information and any other information we need to make the payment on record, including, if required, identification and tax and business formation documentation. A list of our current payout methods is posted on our site.

We will make Developer Balance redemption payments only to the account entered by the developer in the Payout Information field of the Developer’s Facebook Payments sign-up form.

Facebook will redeem your Developer Balance approximately 21 days following the end of the bimonthly period (either the 1st through 15th of the month or the 16th through the end of the month) in which the transaction occurred, except as otherwise set forth herein.

Developer Balances will be redeemed only in United States Dollars.

If a Developer Balance redemption payment for any given pay period would be less than One Hundred United States Dollars ($100.00), we will roll payment over to the next month, unless your account is being deactivated or deleted, or if it has been one year since either your last redemption payment or your first use of Facebook Payments or Credits.

Facebook has in the past issued a small amount of Credits at no cost to certain users (for example, a new user of Credits, or someone whose usage has lapsed). If you receive those Credits in transactions, we will not redeem them.

We may delay payout related to any investigation we are conducting, but in no case longer than 180 days after the transaction.

We may withhold from redemption any Developer Balance or portion thereof that was earned due to any breach of any Facebook terms or policies by you, or that was transferred based on fraudulent or illegal transactions, or that was alleged by a user to have been transferred without his or her consent, or that resulted in returned, undelivered, rejected, or defective goods or services or transactions.

We may deduct from payout any amounts for which you are past due to Facebook on any payment in connection with any Facebook program.

10.

If you owe Facebook an amount exceeding your Developer Balance, we may charge or debit a payment instrument registered with your account to cover the amount owed. Your failure to pay fully any amounts owed to Facebook on demand will be a violation of these Terms, and you will be liable not only for the amount collected but also for Facebook’s costs associated with collection, including without limitation attorney fees, court costs, collection agency fees, and any applicable interest.

Discrepancies. If Facebook makes a redemption payment to you in error, you are liable for the full amount of that payout. You agree to reverse the payment associated with that redemption or to permit Facebook to reverse the payment. You must provide written notification of any disputed payout within 30 days of receipt of the associated payment. Failure to do so constitutes a waiver by you of any claim relating to the payout.

Taxes. It is your responsibility to remit all duties, taxes (including without limitation sales tax and VAT) and other fees that apply to your transactions, including the redemption of any Developer Balance. Facebook complies with tax and legal informational reporting requirements in various jurisdictions. If you are a U.S.-based developer, you acknowledge that Facebook in tax year 2011 began reporting to the Internal Revenue Service on IRS Form 1099K the gross amount of the payments you receive each calendar year if, in that calendar year, you (i) receive more than $20,000 and (ii) receive more than 200 payments. If duties, taxes, or fees apply to the redemption of a Developer Balance, we may adjust the service fee so that the net amount we receive remains at 30%. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any claim arising out of or related to your failure to comply with this paragraph.

Abandoned Property. If we are unable to pay you because you have not provided valid payment information or, where required, valid identification information, we may terminate your ability to maintain your Developer Balance to the extent permissible by law, and process any remaining Developer Balance in accordance with applicable law.

3.	Your Responsibilities and Risks

Voidability. You acknowledge that transactions with minors may be voidable by law and agree that you may be required to refund amounts paid.

Dispute resolution. You are solely responsible for the resolution of disputes between yourself and users, including without limitation disputes that we refer to you or notify you of via tools or systems we may provide. We have the right, but not the obligation, to assist in the resolution of such disputes.

Cooperation. You agree to provide us with any records that we request related to a dispute between you and a user. You agree to notify us in a timely manner if you receive an inquiry from any government agency about Facebook Payments.

Fraud. You agree to cooperate with us to prevent fraudulent or illegal transactions. As part of our efforts to deter fraud and suspicious transactions, we may limit the number of transactions or volume of payments you are able to accept during a given period of time. We may also may suspend, remove, or disable access to any product or service you offer at any time without notice, and we will have no liability for removing or disabling access to any such product or service.

No Liability. We will not be liable to you for compensation, reimbursement, or damages on account of the loss of prospective profits, anticipated sales, or goodwill, or on account of expenditures, investments, or commitments in connection with your use of Facebook Payments, or for any termination or suspension of Facebook Payments services.

Subscriptions. If you offer subscriptions to your app or to a feature within your app, you must continue to make the app or feature available to subscribed users through the end of any active subscription period, or refund any remaining subscriptions on a pro-rated basis.

Chargebacks. You will be liable for all Chargebacks relating to transactions discovered within 90 days of the transaction. By “Chargebacks” we mean any reversals of payment initiated by a third-party payment provider. We will assume responsibility for Chargebacks discovered after the 90th day unless: (a) we determine you conducted the transaction in connection with a breach of Facebook rules or policies, or (b) your Chargeback rate for any one of the prior three months exceeds five percent of your total transaction volume for that month.

Offset. If we provide refunds or other compensation to a user as a result of either the user’s transaction with you using Facebook Payments or any claims made by third parties arising from your products or services, then you agree that we may recover from you any monetary loss related to such provision.

4.	Additional Terms

Conflict of terms. In the event of any conflict between the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxxxx) and these Terms, these Terms control.

Conflict of laws. Some countries may restrict or prohibit your ability to make payments through Facebook. Nothing in these Terms should be read to override or circumvent any such foreign laws.

Courtesy translations. These Terms were written in English (US). To the extent any translated version of these terms conflicts with the English version, the English version controls.

Assignment. Facebook may assign or delegate any of its obligations and/or rights arising under these Terms without restriction.

Amendments. We may revise these Terms at any time without prior notice as we deem necessary to the full extent permitted by law. The Terms in place at the time you confirm a transaction will govern that transaction.

Notice to you. We may provide notices to you by posting them on the Facebook Developer Blog, or by sending them to an email address or street address that you previously provided to us. Website and email notices will be considered received by you within 24 hours of the time posted or sent; notices by postal mail will be considered received within three business days of the time sent. We will give you 30 days’ notice of changes to our service fee.

Notice to us. Except as otherwise stated, you must send notices to us relating to Facebook Payments and these Terms by postal mail to: Facebook, Attn: Legal Department, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, 00000.

“Us”. The following are the entities to which “us,” “we,” “our,” or “Facebook” refer:

If you are a resident of or have your principal place of business in the U.S. or Canada, these Terms are between you and Facebook Payments Inc., a Florida corporation.

If you are a resident of or have your principal place of business in a country other than the U.S. or Canada, these Terms are between you and Facebook Payments International Ltd., a private limited company in the Republic of Ireland.
