Terms and Conditions
While our basic website/forum code of conduct is listed in our Koroth Caverns section, the official legal agreement is here. Each site has one, and it has little to do with the way we want you to treat fellow members or guests on our forums, shoutbox,
gallery, oekaki, or other portions of the site. The Terms of Service, or TOS, cover the use of the site itself, and serve as protection against 'real world' problems.
The first section below this introduction contains our Terms of Service. Below the TOS, you can find a further detailed privacy policy.
