Please review these Terms carefully before using the website and information provided by GifDB.com, its subsidiaries and affiliates.
GifDB.com may, without notice to you, at any time, amend these Terms and any other information contained on this website. The latest Terms will be posted on our website and you should review the Terms prior to using the website.

Access
This website is intended to be accessed via standard web browser software such as the ones present on our Compatible Browsers section, and similar products via direct interaction by a human. With the exception of publicly accessible RSS feeds provided in XML format, the website and its associated files are not meant to be accessed via any automated means such as by scripts or bots or automated applications.
Be aware that if you utilize an automated means of accessing or downloading this website, in whole or in part, your access to the site may be prevented, terminated, delayed, or slowed either temporarily or permanently, especially if you attempt to download too many large files simultaneously. This is necessary in order to protect the user-experience of the website for those who access it in the manner envisioned by its authors.
Please understand that automated access to the site, via scripts, bots, or other similar means can have the effect of seriously degrading the performance of the website or incurring significant additional costs to its operators without sufficient revenue generated to cover those costs. Keep in mind that even minor infractions against this policy can have a large negative effect when combined with similar actions by other users.
We ask that you respect the above guidelines so that we may continue to offer the website as a free resource to the world. We prefer to use our resources, both human and financial, to improve and expand the features and content of the website. Your cooperation is essential.

User-submitted Content
GifDB.com is a community supported website, relying on its user community for the bulk of its primary content. Currently we accept content submissions in the form of GIFs. In order to maintain the quality of our content offerings, only a subset of submissions are selected to be published to publicly accessible portions of the website.
Some of GifDB.com’s content may be commented on publicly, with user-submitted text appearing directly on the site, associated with the appropriate content. It is the intention of the operators and architects of this site that the commenting feature be used only for constructive feedback and other discussions directly related to the content in question. It is not to be used for personal insults, explicit or implied, off-topic discussions, racially or culturally insensitive material, sexual content, or other material not suited for a family audience including small children. Additionally, we ask that personally identifiable information not be posted to the website, regardless of whether it pertains to yourself or another individual.

We reserve the right to moderate the content posted on GifDB.com, both during and after the submission process. The moderators may delete or edit content at any time, manually or via automated means including the use of user-generated data to determine what is and is not acceptable to our audience. Moderation criteria may vary over time.
