9. Content Standards
These content standards apply to any and all User Contributions and use of any Interactive Services. All User Contributions must in their entirety comply with our Code of Conduct and all applicable federal, state, local, foreign, and international laws and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, User Contributions must not contain material that, outside of clearly marked fantasy, within art, or in-character contexts:
● Is defamatory, abusive, harassing, or otherwise targets or harms real individuals or entities outside of fictional contexts.
● Promotes real-world hate speech, violence, or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, age, or other protected characteristics; however, this does not apply to depictions in explicitly fantasy-based content, such as non-human art, roleplay scenarios, or text chat, provided such content does not advocate for or encourage real-world actions.
● Infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other intellectual property or any other rights of any person or entity.
● Violates the legal rights (including without limitation, the rights of publicity and privacy) of any person or entity, or include any material that could give rise to any civil or criminal liability under any applicable laws or regulations or that otherwise may be in conflict with these Terms of Use, our Code of Conduct, or our Privacy Policy.
● Is likely to deceive any person or entity.
● Violates any applicable laws or regulations, or promotes, advocates, or assists any illegal activities.
● Causes annoyance, harassment, or needless anxiety to real individuals, or is likely to upset, embarrass, harass, or annoy any person or entity outside of consensual fantasy roleplay contexts.
● Restricts or inhibits any other user’s use of the Website, or harms us or other users.
● Impersonates any person or misrepresents your identity or affiliation with any person or entity, or gives the false impression that you emanate from or are endorsed by us or by any other person or entity, if this is not the case.
● Involves unsolicited commercial activities or sales, including without limitation, any contests, sweepstakes, or other sales, advertising, or marketing activities or promotions not authorized by us.
For clarity, we permit User Contributions involving explicit fantasy themes, including but not limited to non-human or anthropomorphic art, roleplay, and text-based scenarios that may include contentious elements, as long as they are clearly presented as fictional and do not violate any laws, promote real-world harm, or involve non-consensual interactions among users. Please see our Wiki for more information on all of our guidelines.

The DMCA allows us to restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against the Website user within ten (10) business days of receiving the copy of the Counter Notice.
Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

(a) YOU AND WE HEREBY AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THESE TERMS. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE, OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN, OR HAVE YOUR CLAIMS HEARD AND RESOLVED AS, A CLASS ACTION, A CLASS ARBITRATION, OR A REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
(b) The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Section. (The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/ or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.)
No less than thirty (30) calendar days before you commence arbitration, you must first deliver to us a written “Notice of Dispute” that includes your (a) name; (b) residential address and mailing address; (c) username; (d) email address; (e) phone number; (f) a detailed description of the dispute and Claims; and (h) the specific remedies and relief you are seeking.

No less than thirty (30) calendar days before we commence arbitration, we will send you a Notice of Dispute to the email address that you provide to us.
Subject to the prior written Notice of Dispute requirement above, either you or we may initiate arbitration by filing a demand for arbitration with the AAA, and paying the required filing fee, as set forth in the AAA Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted exclusively in the English language, by a single neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Unless otherwise agreed to between you and us, the arbitration must physically take place in Maricopa County, Arizona, or, if you reside outside of the United States, in a mutually agreed-upon location or via remote means (for example only and without limitation, through video conferencing software such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams), as permitted by the AAA rules.
The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve all Claims as well as any disputes relating to the arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration section, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration section or these Terms are void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award(s) of the arbitrator will be final and binding on you and us, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitrator may award reasonable attorney’s fees to the prevailing party under the standards for fee shifting provided for by law.
Except as required by law or to enforce the arbitration award, the arbitration proceeding and any related documents or information shall be and shall remain confidential.
(c) You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. This means that NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER, OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.
The United States Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this entire arbitration section.
23. Time Limit to Bring Any Claims
Whether you are subject to the “Dispute Resolution for users Not in the United States or Canada” section above, or the “Special Arbitration Provision – Dispute Resolution for users in the United States or Canada” section above, THESE TERMS LIMIT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU HAVE TO BRING ANY CLAIMS (DEFINED ABOVE), INCLUDING THE TIME TO START AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING OR A COURT ACTION (AS APPLICABLE TO YOU).
You agree that YOU MUST BRING ANY CLAIMS WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE DATE OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT(S) OR FACTS GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIMS; OTHERWISE, YOU FOREVER WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE THOSE CLAIMS, AND THEY ARE PERMANENTLY BARRED. In other words, if you do not initiate an arbitration proceeding or a court action (as applicable to you) regarding any such Claims within one year after the date on which those Claims first arose, then the arbitration or court action will be dismissed because you commenced the arbitration or court action too late.
24. Waiver and Severability
No waiver by us of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure by us to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court, arbitrator, or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent, such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
