Terms of Service

Use of GayOutdoors is free. To pay for our expenses we offer premium memberships, sell banner and text link ads, and sell sponsorship for our weekly e-newsletter. But we do ask you to abide by a few rules:

Community Rules

• Do not use the system to send SPAM — even to your friends. SPAM is any email advertising a product, service, or event where the recipient did not explicitly ask to be put on the mailing list. Anyone caught repeatedly abusing GayOutdoors to send SPAM will be banned from using the system.
• Do not post inappropriate pictures. You should only post photos of yourself or you with friends. Do not post photos that are copyrighted or of some famous person that isn't you. You also should not post photos that are excessively revealing, sexualized, or obscene. Basically, if you are showing more than might be seen in a reasonable swimsuit, that's probably not appropriate for this site — your profile may be deleted without notice. Think of the site as “PG-13.”
• Use a “trail name” as your username, but enter your real first and last name.
• Do not put sexually explicit or overly suggestive material in your profile or classified.
• Did we mention that you shouldn't send SPAM?
• Do not create fake profiles or profiles for anyone other than yourself. Do not create profiles for a business or organization. GayOutdoors is for people!
• Do not impersonate another person, whether famous or otherwise.
• Do not engage in character assassination, slander, or libel. If you can't be adult about it, please go play in another sandbox.
• Do not use the system for illegal activities.
• Accounts not accessed for more than two years may be deleted without notice.
• When you are playing outdoors, do not continue if you start feeling uncomfortable or conditions are dangerous. RETREAT!

OK, so that's a lot of “do not”s, but we hope they're all reasonable ones.

A Bit of Legal Stuff

Use of GayOutdoors is provided to members solely at our discretion. Membership can be terminated for any cause we deem reasonable. You understand that we do not incur any liability by doing so and that we have no obligation to provide you with access to any information about you that was on the site at the time of termination — including, but not limited to, information from your profile, a list of your friends, your messages, or information about any events to which you may have been invited through GayOutdoors.
