We offer what is called a "White Label" version of AmateurCool.com. What this means is that AmateurCool.com may operate under a different brand in some markets. This does not impact you or the use of the site in anyway, we just want you to be aware some members you interact with at AmateurCool.com may in fact be doing so on this platform under a different domain / brand than AmateurCool.com

Use of Multiple Accounts

You are only permitted to establish and use one account at a time on this website. If we discover that you are logging in using more than one account, we reserve the right to delete any and all accounts relating to you. This is at our full discretion.

Refunds

We will review any requests for refunds we receive - please contact us via the help page to make such a request. Refunds are NOT granted if your account is suspended or banned by management or our community reporting system, as this only can occur when you have breeched our terms of service.

Agreement for us to contact you via email

By using this site you agree to allow us to contact you via email. You can control the level to which this happens through the "your account" section of the site.

Age of users and affiliates

In order to use this site or promote it in anyway you must be over the age of 18. By your use of the site or promotion of it you are declaring to us that you are in fact age 18 or over.

Expected Behaviour

You agree to behave to the standard that the community here expects. This means no abusive behaviour toward other members, no racism, no sexist behaviour, no trolling behaviour (behaviour to deliberately bait other members), no negative behaviour to the site itself. Should you behave in a way that the community itself or management deem unfit your account can and will be deleted without notice. If you are a premium member, and your account is banned by management or the community (through our reporting tool), you have no entitlement to a refund. We are more than reasonable, and we have very broad tolerance both from management perspective and the community, but should you cross the line then you will be removed. This might sound harsh but we have only ever had to ban a few accounts. At the end of the day, behave like you would in ordinary public and you will be warmly accepted here. Community reporting tool - we operate a system whereby members are able to report troublesome profiles, providing a reason for this reporting. Through sophisticated algorithms looking both at the reporting and reported parties, our system makes a decision as to whether to ignore the report, warn the reportee or ban the account. The decision of this system is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

Content rules that apply to one area of AmateurCool.com apply to all. For example, taboo talk is not allowed it chat, therefore it is not allowed anywhere, including usernames, status, photos, etc.

AmateurCool.com operates smoothly by utilising the volunteer services of moderators. These moderators are members just like you and donate their time to keep this place a happy and thriving community. Any derogatory comments toward or harassment of moderators is a breach of our rules and may result in your account being gagged (silenced) or deleted.

Premium Membership Transfers

Premium memberships are attached to the account that purchases the premium time (or the account that it is gifted to). Under no circumstances will we transfer premium from one member to another, nor will we refund gifted premiums if the giftee closes their account. We used to offer this service in good faith but we found it was being abused and thus have stopped this as of February 2013.

Further note on Multiple Accounts

You are only permitted to have one account here. Multiple accounts are mostly used for conflict or deceitful purposes and this is the reason they are banned. We have very sophisticated ways to track multiple accounts, and should we find that you have more than one account all your accounts will be deleted without notice. If your account is premium and it is banned, you have no entitlement for a refund, as you have breeched these terms of serivce which you have agreed to on accessing this site.
