ANANTARA VACATION CLUB SOCIAL MEDIA TERMS OF USE AND COMMENTING POLICY
Anantara Vacation Club’s social media channels are social media locations for community members to connect and learn about us through information, pictures and video concerning initiatives and programs. Our goal is to provide useful and interesting content and foster an open and respectful dialogue relating to the specific issues and topics covered in our posts and other media.
Stay on topic. We encourage focused, thoughtful comments and discussion which respond or relate to a particular topic, new initiative or upcoming event. Comments which are not related to our content or attempt to derail the conversation may be removed.
Respectful to others: We welcome your comments on our social media pages and do not discriminate against any views. However, we request that postings and conversations are conducted in a respectful manner.
We reserve the right not to keep any content that you post on our page or feed, and to remove, edit or move, at any time, any content posted which does not comply with these Terms of Use or for any other reason including but not limited to comments that:
- are racist, hateful, sexist, slanderous, insulting or threatening
- suggest serious, unproven, unsupported, or inaccurate accusations against individuals or organizations
- are abusive, aggressive, coarse, explicit, vulgar, violent, obscene or pornographic in tone or content
- are offensive, defamatory, disparaging or include slanderous statements to an individual or an organization
- encourage or suggest illegal activity, including fraud
- are not sent by the author and/or are posted by anonymous or robot accounts
- are put forward for advertising, phishing or spamming purposes, or are solicitations,
- advertisements or endorsements for any commercial or non-commercial entity
- are repetitive posts or spamming of threads
- are posted using all CAPS (it is difficult to read and is interpreted as yelling)
- contain personally identifiable information, including images, about you or any other person without that person’s consent, and
- are unintelligible or irrelevant or do not add to the normal flow of debate.
While we may moderate posts, we are not required to, nor should you expect that we will, take action in response to any content posted on our page or feed. The views expressed by others represent their own views and are not endorsed or approved by us, nor do we endorse or approve any events or other activities posted by a user. In short, be respectful and make sure your comments are relevant to the section where they are posted.
Our social media channels are not the appropriate place to resolve issues, complaints or suggestions about individual sales and service experiences or our products. This does not mean we do not want to hear about such issues, but these types of concerns are best handled by trained representatives. If you’re interested in sharing comments or feedback outside the scope of these channels, please contact us. Comments may be forwarded to other Anantara Vacation Club departments and personnel to ensure appropriate follow-up.
