By abiding by the agreement, the user of the site agrees that they have read the rules and regulations, as well understands them. If there are concerns, they have already approached the staff with their concerns PRECEDING any disciplinary measures. As of 9/16/2020 logging in to an existing account, or creating an account will be a binding agreement from the user that they have done and understands the following:

Plain Text.
The staff of cherp is not responsible for users actions, and all rules in place are a preventative measure out of worry and we are not to be held accountable if the rules are broken by the user. By logging in and/or creating an account after 09/16/2020 it will be taken as you have agreed you read the following statements. You also agree that any questions you have will be brought to the staff BEFORE any punishments are handed out as ignorance will not be a valid defense. By logging in you agree to the following list:
You read this actual document. Good on you.
You read the rules that are on the site itself or the Tumblr, and agree that you understand them and have asked any questions you have. (Also that we aren’t sponsored by Tumblr or any company associated with them.)
You read the tagging guidelines that are on the site itself or the Tumblr, and that you understand them and have asked any questions you have.
That you read the Code of Conduct and agree to abide by it, as well have asked any questions you have to the site staff.
That you agree that by breaking any of the above statements you can be punished in ways that are, but not limited to: having a prompt removed, a private warning, a temporary ban or even a permanent ban. We can decide punishments on a case by case basis.
That we have a record of the following data that is, but not entirely limited to: IP addresses from devices you use for your account, timezone, and log in dates. These will not be distributed or used in any way off-site outside of the functionality of the site and the userbase and you’re okay with it.
It’s on you to read the rules, guidelines, and agreements whenever there is an update. There will be announcements of changes, and you agree that you read them as they come out and will abide by them. (You know, in case I made some dumb spelling error or something).
If the server or database takes a large nap for any reason, and we lose some data, we will try our best to recover it for you. If this nap and/or data loss is the result of an intentional breach from an outside source, they will be responsible for damages and punished appropriately. Stuff happens and we can’t predict everything, and will do our best to recover from it and make it as painless as possible for users.
Donations are just that; donations. There are no refunds and no expectation of direct benefits outside of the goals listed, and that if you want to cancel a recurring donation, you will get ahold of us and we can cancel it for you. If you are permanently banned, we’ll automatically cancel your recurring payments.
You’re here to be anonymous and will stay that way and won’t give any reason for a user to be able to recognize you, or make any attempts to have a user identify themselves. This isn’t social media.
Unless your partner agrees, you won’t post your chats anywhere. They are entitled to half of it just like you. If they find out that you posted it somewhere without their written permission in the log and they bring it to us, you’re open to any punishment moderation sees fit.
That we can do these things called “data sweeps”. Basically we search keywords in the database to ensure there is no shady business going on ooc and that you’re okay with this. If we find out you’re doing shady business, we can treat it just like someone bringing us a report, as well as will be punished if you’re caught intentionally trying to avoid them. It won’t stop us, just make us angry.
That you are over 18 when you make your account. If we think you aren’t we can launch an investigation and request a form of ID to confirm the age within reason. If we cannot confirm age or you are underage, that’s the chopping block.
We are pretty tight with this thing called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Basically, if you want your information deleted, and make a FORMAL request we’ll delete it. But! If your chat partner saved your chat together or something, we have nothing to do with the copy and if it comes up somewhere you can’t blame us since it has nothing to do with us.
You aren’t entitled to know about your partner. This means you don’t need to know why they are banned, why they’re taking a break, their username or anything like that. You can’t go out of your way and ask. That’s their business, just chill for a bit. If you aren’t part of staff, you aren’t allowed to really know any of this stuff and if we find out you’re trying to, we won’t take too kindly and might have to treat it as a report.
We are not required to give you an appeal to any sort of punishment we hand out. An appeal is a privilege, not a right. If you come into our inbox or dms acting out and slinging insults, we don’t have to do anything. You also agree you will ONLY log into your account. If we catch account sharing that’s not allowed, as it will skew user data, you’ll be punished for it as moderation sees fit.
