Terms and Conditions

We must agree on ground rules that provide mutual benefits and protection from abuse. TLDR: We promise not to betray your trust, and you agree to follow our community guidelines. These terms help us correct errors and bad content while limiting our liability if mistakes are made.

🫣
We know that most people do not read the terms agreement of anything, and certainly not of a free website, so we will try to keep this short and on point.

Dispute Resolution

Informal Resolution

We are available via our Contact Us form to address any concerns regarding Our Service. You may quickly resolve most disputes in this manner. For any dispute you have with us, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We each agree to resolve any dispute arising out of or in connection with, or relating to this Agreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
