"The Site offers a platform for users to organize and attend face-to-face meetings at restaurants, bars and other venues all over the world (“Meetups”). However, Tumblr does not sponsor, oversee or in anyway control Meetups. You understand and agree that you organize and participate in Meetups at your own risk and Tumblr does not bear any responsibility or liability for the actions of any Tumblr users or any third parties who organize, attend or are otherwise involved in any Meetups". That smacks of trouble if ever I saw it.
The T&C's do not bear any new revelations in content when compared to other sites. In fact they are much of a muchness. Basically - whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine too. Tumblr has a "non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable right and license (with the right to sublicense), to use, copy, cache, publish, display, distribute, modify, create derivative works and store such Subscriber Content and to allow others to do so (“Content License”) in order to provide the Services."
But anything that Tumblr have created, you cannot "copy, modify, publish, transmit, upload, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce have created is not for to be used, create derivative works based on, distribute, perform, display, or in any way exploit, any of the Content, software, materials, or Services in whole or in part". In my opinion, what is good for the goose is good for the gander, but evidently not!
Interestingly my user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party if the company were to go out of business. "You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquiror of Tumblr may continue to use your personal and non-personal information only as set forth in this policy". I really am an asset.
