Don’t use shareables for harmful or offensive purposes
Here are some things that may harm or offend:
- Insulting, misleading, discriminating or defaming people
- Promoting pornography, tobacco or weapons
- Putting children at risk
- Anything illegal. Like using hate speech, inciting terrorism or breaking privacy law
- Anything that would harm the BBC’s reputation.
Don’t make shareables look like they cost money
You can't charge others for using our shareables. If you put them on a site that charges, say they’re free-to-view.
Don’t make them more prominent than non-BBC content
Otherwise it might look like we’re endorsing you. And don’t make a service of your own that contains only our shareables.
Don’t exaggerate your relationship with the BBC
Don’t say we endorse, promote, supply or approve of you. Don’t use shareables for political purposes. And don’t say you have exclusive access to our content.
Don’t associate BBC content with advertising or sponsorship
That means you can’t:
- Put any other content between the link to the shareable and the shareable itself. So no ads or short videos people have to sit through
- Put ads next to or over them
- Put any ads in a web page or app that contain mostly shareables
- Put ads related to their subject alongside shareables. So no trainer ads with a shareable about shoes
- Add extra content that means you’d earn money from them.
Don’t be misleading about where they came from
Don’t remove or alter the copyright notice, or imply that someone else made them.
