Terms of Service

Welcome to the introduction to our terms of service.

(scroll down a bit to see them, this intro part is irrelevant)

We hate lawyers... well, really we hate how much they charge. We also hate legal jargon, but have been told we need to have it.

We ask that you please read these terms of service carefully, as your use of DareNET, including its sites, services and network, constitutes acceptance of these terms of service. If you do not agree to the terms of service, do not use DareNET. For those of you who can't be bothered reading we have decided to summarize (in our own words). The summary below is for convenience only and has no legal or contractual effect.

DareNET is a cool network! We don't think our network or sites are broken and we do our best to keep all of our services live on the Internets, but if we get hacked, our servers blow up, Osama Bin Laden strikes or we spend our hosting money on beer, you can't hold us accountable and you can't sue us. Remember we know where you live.

You can cancel or delete your account anytime, but we may cry.

Don't break our Acceptable Use Policy (e.g. rules), duh. If you are an idiot, we can cancel your membership. If we ever visit your country you agree to provide us with food, shelter and alcohol. You retain all Ownership rights over the material you provide to DareNET, unless specifically stated otherwise.

The terms of service below contain a lot of legal jargon, some of which probably doesn't make sense. They are also subject to change if we can ever afford a Lawyer or conveniently Excalibur lands one as a Girlfriend (we have written this into Excalibur's job description, so he is working on it)
