Human Pets Terms of Service

Welcome to Human Pets, a free online dating and hangout site where you can have fun meeting people from around the world! Everyone on Human Pets is an animal. You can be fed, combed, pet, taken on trips, nicknamed, and more!

By using or accessing Human Pets, you agree that you have read, understand and are bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or delete portions of these Terms at any time without further notice. Your continued use of Human Pets after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

Human Pets was founded with the following rules:
1. Be nice.
2. Don.t release more information than you would to strangers. Check out the privacy settings to see what is made publicly visible by default. You agree that Human Pets can distribute information you post to your profile.
3. All content should be internet-safe. Think "PG-13".
4. Don't cheat. Points are worthless, make friends instead!
5. Just have some common sense. HP takes no responsibility.



As Human Pets has grown, expanded and evolved so have the Terms of Service to include the following rules. These apply throughout Human Pets; including Herds, Tales, Nicknames, Express, Topics, Forums, Profile pages, Newspaper articles, Auctions and Auction reviews.
They also apply to the custom features available to users with a Membership; Human Pets URL, Custom *pet* action and Custom habitat.

Threats, intimidation, abuse, harassment or defamation of any kind towards other users will not be tolerated. Using another user's name or image in a negative manner (without their permission) will not be tolerated.

Human Pets will not tolerate any racism, sexism or other hateful or discriminatory behaviour.
