Plain Text

The staff of CherAmi is not responsible for users' actions, and we are not to be held accountable if the rules are broken by the user. By logging in and/or creating an account it will be taken as you have agreed you read the following statements. You also agree that any questions you have will be brought to the staff BEFORE any punishments are handed out as ignorance will not be a valid defense. By logging in you agree to the following list:

• You read this actual document. Good on you.
• You read the rules that are on the site and agree that you understand them and have asked any questions you have.
• You read the tagging guidelines present under site use, and that you understand them and have asked any questions you have.
• That you read the Code of Conduct and agree to abide by it, as well have asked any questions you have to the site staff.
• That you agree that by breaking any of the above statements you can be punished in ways that are, but not limited to: having a prompt drafted, a private warning, a temporary ban, permanent ban, IP ban, IP range ban, or IP information handed over to authorities. We can decide punishments on a case-by-case basis.
• That we have a record of the following data that is, but not entirely limited to: IP addresses from devices you use for your account, timezone, email associated with your account, and log in dates. These will not be distributed or used in any way off-site outside of the functionality of the site and the userbase and you're okay with it.
• It's on you to read the rules, guidelines, and agreements whenever there is an update. There will be announcements of changes, and you agree that you read them as they come out and will abide by them.
• If the server or database takes a large nap for any reason, and we lose some data, we will try our best to recover it for you. If this nap and/or data loss is the result of an intentional breach from an outside source, they will be responsible for damages and punished appropriately. Stuff happens and we can't predict everything but will do our best to recover from it and make it as painless as possible for users.
• Donations are just that; donations. There are no refunds and no expectation of direct benefits outside of the goals listed, and that if you want to cancel a recurring donation, you will get ahold of us and we can cancel it for you. If you are permanently banned, we'll automatically cancel your recurring payments.
• Unless your partner agrees, you won't post your chats anywhere. They are entitled to half of it just like you. If they find out that you posted it somewhere without their written permission in the log and they bring it to us, you're open to any punishment moderation sees fit.
• That we can do these things called "data sweeps". Basically, we search keywords in the database to ensure there is no shady business going on ooc and that you're okay with this. If we find out you're doing shady business, we can treat it just like someone bringing us a report, and you will be punished if you're caught intentionally trying to avoid them to break rules.
• That you are over 18 when you make your account. If we think you aren't, we can launch an investigation and request a form of ID to confirm the age within reason. If we cannot confirm age or you are underage, that's the chopping block.
• That we are pretty tight with this thing called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). But! If your chat partner saved your chat together or something, we have nothing to do with the copy and if it comes up somewhere you can't blame us since it has nothing to do with us.
• That you aren't entitled to know about your partner. Asking things about them is not a crime - you can ask as anonymity is up to user discretion. If they're willing to share great, but if not continued attempts to find out will be treated as harassment. As such, you will face punishment in line with our rules around harassment.
• That we are not required to give you an appeal to any sort of punishment we hand out. An appeal is a privilege, not a right. If you utilize the ticketing system (on site or through the Discord) to be belligerent to staff or take matters into a staff member's DMs directly, we will not grant you an appeal.
