Terms of Service
CucumberRoll is a free-to-play virtual adoptable site. This website is currently not monetized in any way and will never ask for your payment information. If you receive a suspicious link or any statement requesting personal information, please report it directly to a staff member right away.
This website is owned and moderated by mainly just one person, not a large corporate entity, therefore we do not have a perfect moderation system in place and cannot guarantee the safety of users who are younger or may be more sensitive/vulnerable. Eventually we will have a support ticket system in place. However, for the time being, please contact an admin directly if you need to submit a report. We appreciate your cooperation.
Although this website is strictly moderated, it is not intended for small children, and some mature topics/themes may occasionally make their way into discussion. We require all of our users to verify that they are over the age of 16 in real life by entering their birthdate upon registration. Users found to be under the age requirement and/or falsifying this information will receive a ban until they (or their account) reaches the appropriate age.
Everything is provided on an as-is basis and since we are currently undergoing heavy alpha testing, there is no guarantee that your account will remain in-tact until we reach a later stage in development. However, you are free to explore the site as you like all the same.
IMPORTANT: We allow ONE account per user. For moderation purposes, your username must be the same on our site & forums.
If you would like to change your username, please contact an admin. You may do so ONCE per year.
Official Rules:
- DISTURBING THE PEACE: Behaviour determined to disrupt/disturb the peace of others is not allowed. Trolling, spamming, begging, harassment, & threats all fall under this category.
- HATE SPEECH: Hateful, targeted, impersonation, or slanderous language, as well as any indication of affiliation or symbols associated with hate groups are strictly prohibited. Since our staff cannot know someones identity with certainty, inappropriate derogatory language such as slurs directed towards someones race, sexuality, or other status are never allowed, even as a joke. Please refrain from making these types of comments altogether.
- MATURE CONTENT: While we do not filter all mature language & discussion, any adult content intended for an audience of 18+, or extended/explicit discussion of sexual content or illicit substances, will be removed. Adult images & off-site links to such content will result in a permanent ban placed on the account posting them. We do allow top nudity only in artwork, granted it is non-sexual in nature, however all bottom nudity- or indication towards sexual arousal that could make viewers uncomfortable- is strictly prohibited.
- GRAPHIC CONTENT: Graphic & upsetting content is strictly prohibited, this can range from "creepy" content like jumpscares or horror-fiction presented as reality intended to disturb the viewer, or more upsetting/graphic "shock" content which could be potentially traumatic. Attempting to shock other users in such a manner can result in a permanent ban.
- ART THEFT: Art theft, as with tracing, ripping, etc. is strictly prohibited. Users found engaging in this behaviour will be banned on the spot. Please note however that we will not strictly moderate "design theft" except where it is blatant.
- ADVERTISING & SALE: We do not allow sales involving real-world or off-site currency (crypto-currency included) to be hosted on our platform. However, if you are an independent creator (such as an artist, writer, editor, etc.) you are free to promote your work as long as you do not host your sales on our service, with the only exception being if you are offering your work in exchange for on-site currency only.
- FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY: Fraudulent activity will be monitored and we advise our users to exercise caution with such activity as we cannot reimburse users who fall victim to off-site scams. If you are submitting a report of fraudulent activity, you must provide all of the necessary information- therefore we highly recommend our users document any transactions associated with our service in case something should happen.
- IMPERSONATING STAFF: Posing as a staff member (a staff member will never ask for your personal information), speaking on behalf of staff members in a way that claims authority; (e.g. "You're going to get banned for this!!!") or creating false reports intended to stir up controversy and waste staff members time and are inconducive to problem-solving. Violators may end up on the receiving end of a ban themselves.
- UNETHICAL BEHAVIOUR: Any attempts to cheat, scam, hack, DDOS, doxxing- whether it be our site, service, or its users- or otherwise attempt to game the system will be met with a swift permanent ban.
- ILLEGAL BEHAVIOUR: Users found participating of engaging in illegal or dangerous behaviours will be permanently banned and reported to the appropriate authorities when necessary. If required (by US law), we will cooperate with law enforcement by means of submitting information stored in our database. Therefore, it is your responsibility to keep your information private.
Additional Terms:
- PRIVACY: By accessing our service you understand that we have access to certain private identifying information about you, such as your IP address, and anything logged in our system including all account activity, trades, and messages (including private ones), or any information you post to our message boards or your public user profile. Our staff moderates this content with the intention of keeping the website and its userbase safe, and will never reveal personal information about you to the public. Our staff will never ask you to identify anything about yourself for the purpose of moderation, therefore if you do not wish to disclose anything about yourself, you are not required to.
- USER SUBMITTED CONTENT: This service allows user-submitted content, by accessing our website you understand that you do so at your own discretion. By submitting content, you agree that you have the rightful permission to do so, or that you will be held liable failing this. We cannot be held liable for the content our users submit, although we try our best to moderate this content. If you are the rightful owner of something hosted on our website, you have the right to request that it be removed at any time. To do so, please contact an admin.
- OTHER RESTRICTED CONTENT: While not strictly banned, we ask our users to also be considerate of flashing images that could cause injury to people prone to seizures. This content will be removed if found.
We retain the right to restrict access to our service at any time. We do not provide compensation for users affected by this. These terms are subject to change at any time without notice. It is the user's responsibility to understand and abide by our Terms of Service.
