We provide a service that allows you to
discover and receive content from sources that interest you as well as to share
your content with others. We respect the ownership of the content that users
share and each user is responsible for the content he or she provides. Because
of these principles, we do not actively monitor and will not censor user
content, except in limited circumstances described below.
In order to provide the Sharelst service and the ability to communicate and stay
connected with others, there are some limitations on the type of content that
can be published with Sharelst. These limitations
comply with legal requirements and make Sharelst a
better experience for all. We may need to change these rules from time to time
and reserve the right to do so. Please check
back here to see the latest.
