# Sideway Username Policy Effective: September 17, 2016 Sideway usernames are claimed on a first-come, first-served basis. A username can only be attached to one account at a time. ## Inactivity We encourage you to remain active with your Sideway account. This activity can include commenting, highlighting, or publishing. Accounts may be removed after 6 months of inactivity. We don't accept requests for inactive accounts, unless you own a registered trademark for it. ## Trademarks Username trademark violations may involve using a trademarked logo, business or product name in a way likely to confuse people. For more information, read our [Trademark Policy](https://github.com/sideway/policies/blob/master/trademark-policy.md). ## Parody Accounts Sideway allows parody and fan accounts. Those accounts must be clearly marked as such, and need to adhere to the following guidelines: The bio must directly state that the account is not affiliated with the targeted subject by using words such as "parody," "fake," "not," "false," or "fan." There's no specific formula you must use for the disclaimer, but it must be quickly and clearly evident this is the intention of the account to any audience. The Sideway name and username must not be the exact same as the targeted subject, and should contain a disclaiming word such as "parody," "fake," "not," "false," or "fan." For example, if you are parodying John Smith, your username cannot be @johnsmith. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in suspension or removal of the Sideway account. ## Changes to this Policy We can change these Terms at any time. We keep a historical record of all changes to our Terms on [GitHub](https://github.com/sideway/policies). If a change is material, we'll notify you on the Sideway site before it take effect. By using Sideway on or after that effective date, you agree to the new Terms. If you don't agree to them, you should delete your account before they take effect, otherwise your use of the site and content will be subject to the new Terms. ## Questions We welcome questions, concerns, and feedback about this policy at [support@sideway.com](mailto:support@sideway.com).
