Chuckles, Inc.
[Other naming concepts: Don’t take this seriously, Inc., Just a laugh, Inc., Just a lark, Inc., For the laughs, Inc.]
NOTE: The draft name and set of disclaimers and policies listed here are for a mobile app (and its corresponding website). The app, called “Should I be Forgiven”, is intended as a viral crowdsourcing social app playing on the ideas of “forgiveness” and “penance” in the Catholic faith. The hope is that people will do stupid things for which they will ask forgiveness on the app via video. Users will then vote whether they should be forgiven or not. If not, then the user can seek penance by doing some act that has been listed as an option in the app. Example: Singing and dancing Copacabana by Barry Manilow, trying the latest popular Tik Tok dance (only if they are over 50), etc.
We want a simple set of disclaimer and terms and we want to make sure that the app is seen as intended for humor… thus the different company name ideas.
We definitely do not want the app to be used for purposes inconsistent with its intended purpose thus the reason we put down requirements of no violence in the Content Submission disclaimer.
As it is, we think we are close with the General Disclaimer and the Content Disclaimer, but the Privacy/Usage terms need work. We are most concerned about the first two at this point since we will be going into testing shortly.
