• You are at least 18 years old;

User Content and Privacy

The Parler Privacy Policy describes what Parler can do with information about you received by Parler when you use the Services. You agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy, including the transfer of information to other countries for storage, processing, and use, if applicable.

Any content that you post to the Services must satisfy all of the following criteria, and you affirm that any content posted, submitted, or otherwise provided by you to the Services satisfies these criteria:

• You have the legal right to post the content to the Services.
• The content and the purpose for posting it complies with all laws, rules, and regulations that may apply.

You are responsible for your use of the Services and for any content that you post. Parler does not endorse, support, represent, or affirm the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any of the content posted through the Services, nor does Parler endorse any opinions expressed through the Services. All content is the sole responsibility of the person who originated the content, and Parler does not take responsibility for such content.

YouTube Content

With respect to any content you contribute that uses YouTube services via Parler, you affirm that—in addition to complying with Parler's own Terms and Community Guidelines—you are also complying with YouTube's more restrictive Terms. Users are encouraged to use Parler's own native video capabilities whenever they wish to avoid the application of these more restrictive terms.

Blockchain Integration

Parler has integrated blockchain technology into some of its products and services. Blockchain technology provides transparency, security, and decentralization, enabling enhanced user experiences. This integration allows users to actively participate in blockchain-enabled features, such as earning digital rewards for specific actions.

Users acknowledge and agree that blockchain-related features involve emerging technologies and may carry certain risks, including but not limited to potential technical errors, transaction delays, or issues related to blockchain network stability. Parler does not guarantee the performance or outcomes of these blockchain features and is not responsible for losses incurred from blockchain-related actions.

Users are solely responsible for managing their blockchain-related credentials, such as private keys, wallet addresses, or other identifiers. Parler does not store, manage, or recover these credentials for users.

By engaging with blockchain-enabled features, users agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing blockchain use in their jurisdiction.

Boosted Posts

Parler offers users the optional ability to "Boost" their posts for increased visibility across the Parler platform. Users may elect to pay for a Boosted Post either by (a) paying a flat fee in United States Dollars (USD) or (b) using OPT digital rewards based on the current market value of OPT as determined by CoinStore, an independent third-party digital asset exchange.

By choosing to Boost a post, users acknowledge and agree that use of OPT for Boosted Posts is entirely voluntary and at their sole discretion; OPT is a utility token earned through participation and contribution to the decentralized Optio blockchain network; Parler does not operate or control CoinStore or any other third-party exchange; Parler makes no warranties regarding the value, performance, or future price of OPT; users are solely responsible for verifying the current value of OPT and making an informed decision prior to completing any Boosted Post transaction using OPT; Parler is not a digital asset exchange and does not engage in the sale, trading, or transfer of OPT; and all Boosted Post transactions are final, non-refundable, and subject to these Terms.

There can be no guarantee that Boosted Posts will be successful, or achieve particular success. Neither Parler nor Optio is responsible for any aspect of a user's content, website, or applications with which Boosted Posts may be associated.

Tipping (USD and OPT)

Parler may provide an optional tipping feature that allows users to send paid interactions, comments, or other paid messages ("Tips") to creators or other users where enabled. Tip amounts and associated messages may be displayed publicly within comment feeds or alongside content.

Users may fund Tips using either fiat currency (USD) through third-party payment processors integrated into Parler, or OPT tokens, with token valuations determined solely by independent third-party digital asset exchanges at the time of transaction.

Parler does not control or guarantee the value, availability, liquidity, or price of OPT tokens, and users assume all risks relating to fluctuations or volatility of any digital asset. All tipping transactions are final and non-refundable.

CSAE Compliance

Parler is committed to ensuring the safety and security of its users by strictly prohibiting any content, activities, or behaviors related to child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). Parler does not tolerate content that promotes, depicts, or facilitates CSAE and will take immediate action against users who violate this policy.

Any user found engaging in CSAE-related activities will have their account permanently terminated and may be reported to the appropriate law enforcement authorities. Parler utilizes automated detection tools via Hive Moderation tools and human moderation to proactively identify and remove CSAE content. Users are encouraged to report any CSAE-related content or activities via support@parler.com.
