1. Description of Service.
Talking Sperm is a website that makes available to its viewers content generated
by third-parties. The website is a resource for people who want to share and who
are looking for, among other things, visual depictions of adult content,
including sexually explicit images. Visitors to the website can also "rate" the
content they view on a scale of 1 through 5. (Collectively, "Talking Sperm's
Services.")
Among other things, Talking Sperm provides a platform for uploading, sharing,
and viewing various types of content. Talking Sperm's dynamic and collaborative
service enables registered and unregistered users (visitors and registered
members are collectively referred to as "User(s)") to access a host of
functionality, including but not limited to various types of media submitted by
Users (collectively, "User Submissions").
This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms for your use of the Website.
By agreeing to these Terms of Use, you agree to be bound by this Agreement,
whether you are a "Visitor" (which means that you simply browse the Talking
Sperm Website) or you are a "Member" (which means that you have registered with
Talking Sperm). You are only authorized to use Talking Sperm's Services if you
agree to abide by all applicable laws and to this Agreement. Please read this
Agreement carefully and save it.
Talking Sperm grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited,
and revocable license to view the Content and Website subject to the terms of
this Agreement. You may access, transfer, or use the Website on such software,
personal computers, and/or devices as authorized by us or our content delivery
providers.
2. Use.

use of the Talking Sperm Services, including collecting usernames and/or email
addresses of Members by electronic or other means for the purpose of sending
unsolicited email or unauthorized framing of or linking to the Talking Sperm
Website is prohibited. Commercial advertisements, affiliate links, and other
forms of solicitation may be removed from Member profiles without notice and may
result in termination of Membership privileges.
These Terms of Service apply to all Users. The Website may contain links to
