We don't believe in bombarding an adult chat community
with rules; so the very few rules we do put in place we ask you out of respect & courtesy to adhere to them to help keep
our community friendly & pleasant for everyone.
By using any of our services you agree to all that
is stated below and by using any of our services you give Friendly Chat permission to collect any information mentioned below
and to log anything that is mentioned below.
Disclaimer
The below rules/terms of use may change at any time
without warning so we advise you to check them regularly. If they do change you are still agreeing to the changed/added
terms when using any of our services. We cannot take any responsibility if you do not read the terms or conditions. Our
staff members have the right to remove you from any of our provided services without any given notice or warning.
Friendly Chat is an adult e-community. It is intended
for chatters aged 18 & over only. We cannot and will not be held responsible for any content a minor is subjected
to if he or she wrongfully uses our services.
Copyright
This entire site is copyright to Friendly Chat ©.
The site is regularly backed up and records are always kept, including the original dates. The format, layout, literature
and slogan ("Your friendly e-community") belongs to Friendly Chat © and may not be copied, imitated or plagiarised without
written & signed permission from its owner.
Privacy
We care a great deal about your privacy and will never
give out any information we hold on you to any third party. Such information includes e-mail address, alternate usernames,
IP addresses and any personal information you might volunteer to the management. You have the right to contact
us at anytime and find out what information we hold on you, if any.
Transcripts
Due to recent legislation we are required by law to keep a record of all conversations - public and private.
Public transcripts can only be seen by one person; the Founder of Friendly Chat and no-one else.
Transcripts are never looked into unless a complaint has been made via the contact form. Again, only the founder of Friendly
Chat has access to these e-mails. We take your privacy very seriously.
Private transcripts are kept on record, locked safely away on a secure server incase of any future police inquiries (such
as if there's been an allegation of serious sexual harassment or stalking).
English
Being an international site, we must ask you to stick to the universal language of 'English'. This is so staff members
can monitor what is being said, and that nobody is alienated, abused, mocked or is offended. Staff members reserve the right
to request you stick to the English language when you use our services, if you refuse you may be banned.
Usernames
Usernames that include sexual, harassing, intimidating
or generally inappropriate comments or words are not permitted. We also do not allow the advertising of third party software
or offline meeting that jeapordize the personal safety of our chatters. Such words & comments include (but are not
limited to);
- MSN
- CAM
- SEXUAL WORDS
- RACIST WORDS
- SWEAR WORDS
- OTHER OFFENSIVE WORDS
- MEET
Sexual Content
All our G rated chat
rooms are for general chat only, that means sexual content must be kept to a bare minimum. This is to keep our community a
safe & pleasant one, where like-minded adults can meet, make friends and let their hair down without being harassed by
perverts.
However; we understand that this is a community for
adults and from time to time adults like to discuss topics of a sexual nature. The provided A rated chat rooms are
the only rooms in the community where moderate sexual content is permitted for discussions of a more risqué nature.
Picshare
Our chat client has a feature called 'picshare' -- this is where you may upload pictures into
the chat client for others to see. This can be a picture of yourself (if requested), comedy pictures, pictures of your pets
and any other such pictures.
You are not to upload rude pictures, offensive pictures or explicit pictures of any kind. Doing so will result in an immediate
ban. If you upload pictures of you exposing certain body parts, the log, the picture and your IP address will be sent to your
ISP.
Sexual harassment & indecent exposure are crimes. We do not tolerate perverts at Friendly Chat.
Spamming
We do not allow the spamming
of URLs, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, real names, MSN addresses or any other similar content. This is both for your protection
and the protection of other members. Spamming (unsolicited advertising) is in breach of your ISP's terms of service, we will
request the closure of your ISP account.
Message Boards
When you register
to our message boards, you agree to only sign up with one username, not to spam or post abuse to fellow members. You also agree that once you have
registered your name, we cannot just 'delete your account and posts' on request.
Deleting usernames & posts makes the site look messy,
and we don't want to get into a circle of people deleting their account in a strop only to re-create another one a week later.
Staff
Our staff members are 100%
voluntary, they are a hard working & dedicated team. They are just like you; regular members of the community - please
treat them with respect and understand that they are just trying to help a new community grow to the best of their ability.
Our staff members may remove you from our community
for any of the following reasons;
- We suspect you are under 18
- Your chosen username is inappropriate, hurtful or offensive
- You are harassing our staff or other community members
- You are impersonating a staff member
- You are impersonating a reserved member
- You are persistently disrupting the chat rooms
- You are spamming the community
- You are preaching, soliciting or condoning illegal activities
- You are a pervert
Perverts
We reserve the right to
determine ourselves what we constitute a 'pervert' within our community. We do not use this term for libelous or slanderous
reasons; we use it to help differentiate between ordinary, friendly & welcomed chatters from those that seek 'sexual acts'
over their computer screen that we'd rather stay away from our community.
Boot On Sight
We reserve the right to put your name on our 'boot on sight' list. Members on this list
are permanently banned from using any of the Friendly Chat services. Members will only be put on this list in extreme, rare
circumstances. Such reasons include (but are not limited to);
- Giving out residential addresses
- Serious sexual harassment
- Serious threatening behaviour and/or abuse
Only the management has the right to put names on this list, although support staff members have the right to request a
member be put on it.
