What you may and may not do. Our "Terms of Use" Policy |

| Wolfhome is an online community, and as with other communities, there are rules to help this be an enjoyable experience for everyone. | |
| Use of Artwork / Intellectual Property | |
|
Wolfhome is owned by wunderwood LLC (also referred to in this policy as "we", "us" or "the company"). By allowing you to use this site, wunderwood LLC has not given up any rights to the code, concepts, art work, web pages or other intellectual property.

On the WOLFHOME website we allow the use of several types of Artwork or other copyrightable intellectual property. These are typically poses, backgrounds or text. The main types of artwork are Custom, Premades Free, Mods, Objects and Backgrounds. Some of this Artwork and other creative material on WOLFHOME.com has been created and/or submitted by Users like you. The Artist/Owner retains the copyright on submitted artwork. If the User is not the same person as the Artist/Owner, the User must have permission from the Artist/Owner before submitting the material to the site. By uploading Artwork to WOLFHOME, you are affirming that you have a LEGAL RIGHT to do so and that you have an agreement from the Artist/Owner (the current owner of the copyright) that he or she has agreed with all of the terms and conditions described here. |

WUNDERWOOD LLC retains the right to reproduce and redistribute your artwork on all parts of this website and on any other websites owned or operated by WUNDERWOOD LLC. It exercises this right on behalf of the Artist/Owner. This does not mean however that WUNDERWOOD LLC can override an artists own Terms Of Service or make a profit off of artwork posted by the general userbase, These terms are here to protect the artists and general users and to allow WUNDERWOOD LLC to continue displaying artwork on the company site(s) and forum(s). |
|
|
WUNDERWOOD LLC agrees that any use of Artwork for other Commercial Purposes (such as merchandise, ads and banners) will require additional licensing from the respective Artist/Owner of said artwork. |
|
|
WARNING: Your paid subscription tier does not obligate WOLFHOME or WUNDERWOOD LLC to automatically accept submitted Artwork. All pieces of artistic material must go through normal channels of approval, via the Art Review Team. This may include a waiting period, inquiries, and possible rejection. |
|
|
Uploading artwork in which you (the User) do not own the copyright, or have permission to use is NOT permitted. Doing so will only get you banned from all chats owned or run by WUNDERWOOD LLC. |
|
|
Our team on WOLFHOME works hard to keep unwanted use of artwork to a minimum. However, when material is submitted for public access, theft by others is possible. By submitting artwork or other intellectual material to WOLFHOME, you have agreed to not hold WOLFHOME accountable for theft that may have occurred on the site, or sites owned by WUNDERWOOD LLC. If you think theft has occurred, please notify a member of our team so that a swift resolution can occur. A permission list is also appreciated by the WOLFHOME Art Review Team. |
|
|
The Artist/Owner recognizes that unwanted distribution may occur when sharing artwork, or other creative materials. It is important to understand that once a member of WOLFHOME has been given permission to use a piece of artwork or other creative material, that permission cannot be revoked. However, if an Artist/Owner no longer wishes to allow their artwork to appear on WOLFHOME, any new poses, rooms or other creative material will be rejected. The Artist/Owner recognizes that it is important to keep WOLFHOME.com and its team notified if they no longer wish to allow their artwork to appear on WOLFHOME. |

| Art Definitions | |

|
"Poses" - Pieces of artwork that represent someone on the chat. Some poses are unique to that individual (Custom Poses). Others have been obtained by a User/Artist as a set (Pre-mades). |
|
|
"Custom" - This means there is no other like it. These might be rooms or poses, and they could be made by the User/Artist, or have been commissioned to be made by another User/Artist. These can also include custom colored or shaded outlines, and Premades. |
|
|
"Premades" - Generally generic Poses that are only allowed to be used by few individuals via purchasing/being gifted. Freebies can also fall under this category. These are generally copyrighted. |
|
|
"Modified Poses" or "mods" for short - Poses that are made from pre-existing poses. Whether they be from the WOLFHOME default set, Customs, or Freebie poses. They are often made from a combination of different poses or props added to make a new pose. The terms of use for these can vary from a Custom pose to Freebie pose. |
|
|
"Freebies" - include but are not limited to poses (outlines, grayscales, Modified poses or full color poses or Custom poses), User-submitted rooms (outlines, photographs or full color images), and forum avatars/signatures that the Artist/Owner has allowed to be used free of cost on WOLFHOME and or other sites/chats. Any Artist has the right to impose limitations and conditions on the usage of their artwork. |
|
|
"Freebies" are made available for use by Users of Wolfhome (and various other sites/chats) remain under the jurisdiction of the Artist. The Artist has the right to determine where and how they are used and alter their limitations at any time. If unsure about the allowed usage of an image, please contact the Artist or administration. |

| No Refunds | |
|
|
Subscriptions and other services on the Wolfhome website are acquired by expending "Deltas". Deltas (see Wolfhome Deltas FAQ) are purchased from us using PayPal. All sales are final. You may choose to cancel your account on Wolfhome at any time. Any credit remaining in your account is NON-REFUNDABLE. Deltas purchased for Wolfhome services is treated in a manner similar to that of purchases for credit at an arcade that uses tokens to operate their video games. If you wish, you may transfer your unused Wolfhome Deltas to another account before closing your account. Once an account has been closed, all remaining Deltas are permanently removed. Unspent Deltas cannot be transferred from a previously closed account. |
|
|
You may transfer credit from one Wolfhome.com account to another, but only if you have a valid e-mail address stored on Wolfhome.com. |
|
|
IMPORTANT: ALL FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MADE VIA PAYPAL. When we transfer money to you for any reason, unless explicitly agreed upon in advance by both parties, the financial transaction is made using PayPal. PayPal will send an e-mail to your account notifying you of the completed transfer. You should then follow a link in that e-mail to receive payment. Financial transactions that are left unclaimed for more than 30 days WILL BE CANCELLED. |
| Minimum Age | |
|
|
You must be at least 13 years old in order to make use of Wolfhome. While some other Chatlands sites allow you to have an account if you are younger than 13 (as long as you have permission from your parent or legal guardian) there are NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule on Wolfhome. Note: Like all other websites operating inside the United States, wunderwood LLC must comply with COPPA, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (more information). The Wolfhome website previously was open to children under the age of 13, if the parent agreed, by clicking on a link sent to their e-mail address, but we have changed that rule. We try to keep the public rooms at a PG-13 level. We do not have the ability to prevent someone from acting badly. If this causes concern, even parents of children older than 13 should not grant permission for their child to use this website. |
| Privacy | |
|
|
We make every effort to protect your privacy (see our privacy policy for more). However, we do log the chat to protect both you and ourselves. This log is kept confidential and unread unless there is trouble. |
| Misuse | |
|
|
Chatlands.com was created so you can chat with friends. Misuse includes harassing other users, using the messaging system to spam users, or to solicit illegal activities, trolling, disturbing the peace in any way, threatening others or Chatlands as a whole, etc (Wolfhome Rules). We reserve the right to ban any user from the system for any reason. |
|
|
We reserve the right to restrict the text you enter and the graphics you submit, including, but not limited to your user name, the description of your private room(s), and even your personal information. Many of our users don't want to be exposed to profanity, vulgarity, or sexual insinuation. The Constitution protects your right to say what you want. There is no law that that compels us to broadcast your words for others to see. If you desire free speech, do it on a street-corner and not in our chat. |
|
|
There is an appeal process depending on your type of ban. So please be sure to read over the email sent to you. Also depending on that ban, all judgements may be final. If you break any of the rules established by WOLFHOME.com, there is no reason we have to appeal our decisions. |
|
|
Misuse includes, but is not limited to, activities such as these:
We take hacking and the threat of hacking very seriously and we will defend wunderwood LLC and its properties against such threats. Do not threaten to hack us. Do not threaten to hack another user. You will be banned and you may face legal consequences as well. We are extremely serious when it comes to protecting minors on Chatlands. Those 18+ are subject to additional expectations the interacting with minors. This includes, exposing a minor to explicit content or NSFW material, propositioning minors, grooming, etc. |
| Changes to the Terms and Conditions | |
|
|
We reserve the right to change these terms and conditions from time to time. When we make any significant changes to these rules, we will attempt to alert Wolfhome members by way of a splash screen or with an update on the Wolfhome home page. However, we do not guarantee that this will happen or that you will see it. It is your responsibility to check from time to time for updates or changes made to this document. BY CONTINUING TO USE OUR SERVICES, YOU INDICATE THAT YOU AGREE TO THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF THESE RULES. |
