Welcome to Better Globe Media. You must enter into this Agreement if you want to submit digital images or other content to Better Globe Media through Content Submission Agreement (the "Service"). As used in this Agreement, "we", "BGM" or "Better Globe Media" means Better Globe Media Inc. and "you" means the individual or entity submitting materials to Better Globe Media. Any individual or entity that wants to use the Service must accept the terms of this Agreement without change.

You agree to (a) immediately notify Better Globe Media (BGM) of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. BGM cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

Our Community

Our community is the most important part of BGM. All registered users are part of our community and we value everyone. BGM has established multiple ways for users to interact with one another on the Site, including but not limited to forums, our blog and other social media channels. Please remember that these are public spaces, so use common sense when sharing personal information. BGM's role is to facilitate open discussion and support our community through constructive communication. We have some general rules for community conduct, and some spaces have additional rules.

  • Treat one another with respect. There is a real person behind each name.
  • Harassing, insulting, embarrassing or abusing other users is unacceptable.
  • The community spaces are not the appropriate channel to express disputes with others.
  • Specific transactions and/or feedback should not be discussed in public community spaces. Instead, contact BGM privately if you need help with a transaction.
  • Do not publicly post another person's private information without their explicit consent (for example: email, conversations, letters, phone numbers, addresses or full names).

Violating community policies may result in suspension or termination of certain privileges including account termination.
