Can I use emojis in my terms of use in New Jersey? What are the requirements?

Use of Emojis in Terms of Use in New Jersey

There are no specific requirements or restrictions on the use of emojis in terms of use in New Jersey. However, it is important to ensure that the terms of use comply with the general restrictions outlined in NJAC 16:41C-4.1, which prohibit signs that contain or are illuminated by any flashing, intermittent, scrolling, or moving light or lights, and signs that interfere with the ability of the operator of a motor vehicle to have a clear and unobstructed view of streets or highways ahead, approaching, merging, or intersecting traffic, or official signs, signals, or traffic control devices.

Additionally, all signs erected under the Logo Program, including terms of use, must be designed, fabricated, located, and installed in accordance with the standards and guidance of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), as determined by the Department of Transportation through its engineering judgment, as outlined in NJAC 16:41E-6.1.

General Requirements for Signs in New Jersey

NJAC 16:41C-8.1 outlines the general requirements for signs in New Jersey. Off-premise signs, including terms of use, must comply with these requirements. Some of the key requirements are:

  • The evaluation of a sign’s compliance with the minimum spacing requirements shall only consider off-premise signs that are visible on the same side of the highway [2.1].
  • No off-premise sign will be permitted that will be visible to any highway or portion of a highway that has been designated as a scenic byway or has been nominated for designation as a scenic byway [2.1].
  • No off-premise sign will be permitted beyond 660 feet of the nearest edge of the right-of-way of an interstate or Primary System highway outside of urban areas if it is visible from the main-traveled way [2.1].
  • No off-premise outdoor advertising sign shall be erected along or be visible to the main-traveled way or any ramp of the Garden State Parkway [2.1].
  • No off-premise advertising sign shall be erected within the protected area or protected zone of a scenic corridor where it can be seen from any point within any portion of a scenic corridor [2.1].
  • The maximum width of the advertising surface area of any sign shall be 60 feet, the maximum height of the advertising surface area shall be 30 feet, and the maximum advertising surface area shall be 1,200 square feet [2.1].

Therefore, while there are no specific requirements or restrictions on the use of emojis in terms of use in New Jersey, it is important to ensure that the terms of use comply with the general restrictions and standards outlined in NJAC 16:41C-4.1, NJAC 16:41E-6.1, and NJAC 16:41C-8.1, respectively.
