HORROR-WEB
TERMS OF SERVICE |
|
Horror Web's Terms of Service (TOS) are
very simple:
1. Like most TOS's, we offer what
we have here, nothing more nothing less =)
2. Like most TOS's we expect
you to accept our TOS if you wanna
play at, hang around,
or be part of the Horror-Web
3. We do wish you to given current/accurate information,
BUT we do not require you to give 'real life' information in any of the public
forums...if you prefer to use online names only, that's fine, just make sure
that your email is correct. This is especially important for prize notification
for various contests and those 'whims' we've been known to go on and just give
stuff away =) However, we do not tolerate doppelgangers, lying, or otherwise
providing false personalities. One persona per schizo please...
4. Horror-Web is pg13.
By MPAA definitions
that means: "Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May
Be Inappropriate For
Children Under 13." By Horror-Web definitions pg13 breaks
down to two things: intension and intensity.
We understand that the genre [horror] is full of violence, swearing, blood, guts,
demons, etc. but also know that you can watch, discuss, and recommend on a pg13
level. Even if what we're discussing is not pg13, there is no reason we can't
be. Why do we do this? Because the genre should be for everyone - young and old.
If we go beyond the pg13 rating, some may not be able to get into the site because
of parental controls, etc. It is also a more mature, dignified, and professional
way to present oneself. How does 'intention' and 'intensity' break down, you
ask?
- INTENTION: Swearing, sexuality, and violence
used to shock, disrespect, anger, flame, or otherwise alarm other members
in such a way as to make them uncomfortable intentionally, or to disrupt
the group, discussion, chat, etc. is unacceptable.
- INTENSITY: Referring to sexuality or the act
of intercourse in a mature, responsible fashion - as well as, the occasional
cussing in adjective or expletive form, not aimed AT another is understandable
and acceptable. When it becomes graphic, habitual, or unnecessarily vulgar
it is unacceptable.
Please use taste and tact in your postings, listings, and websites that are
associated with the Horror Web. The Horror Web DOES reserve
the right to remove sites from our programs that we feel are inappropriate
or overly grotesque. If you question your site's appropriateness just E-mail
HorrorWench.
5. Accounts, passwords, and security: upon
joining any of our various programs/areas you will receive emails or online

as many of our areas are hosted remotely and we do not have access to them
in such a manner as to retrieve your information for you.
