ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
YA RLY Lite provides the services to you, the visitor, based on its Terms of Service outlined here.
The latest TOS can always be found here at http://yarly.thisisgod.net/orly/tos.php. When using
the services provided by YA RLY Lite, you are subject to these posted terms. Usage of the services
on this site denotes acceptance of these terms. The TOS may be changed at any time and without
direct notice to individual visitors, so it is recommended that you check back with this page
at any time you have questions or concerns.
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
In order to post messages on the YA RLY Lite message boards, view boards with level restrictions
and use other advanced services, you must register with YA RLY Lite using a valid email address. Upon
registration, an Activation Key in the form of a URL will be mailed to the address you provided.
You must visit this URL using the web browser of your choice to activate the account. No posting
privileges are granted until the account is activated, and inactive accounts may be deleted after
48 hours of creation. YA RLY Lite does not require you to use your real name or other identification
that can be easily traced to you, and the email address you provide will be kept private. In
order to register on YA RLY Lite, registrants must be 13 years of age or older. YA RLY Lite does not
knowingly collect any information from any users under 13 years, and if it is found that an underage
user has fraudulently registered, their account will immediately be terminated.
CONTENT NOTICE
By viewing the site content, you agree that all content on the YA RLY Lite Message Boards is the
responsibility of the person from which the content originated. You agree that neither YA RLY Lite
nor its sponsors or affiliates are responsible for all content that you personally post or upload.
YA RLY Lite does not directly control any content posted on the boards, and does not guarantee the
truthfulness or quality of any content. You agree that while using the YA RLY Lite message boards,
you may be exposed to content that is offensive or objectionable, and that you will in no way
hold YA RLY Lite nor its sponsors or affiliates liable in any way, shape, or form for any harm or
loss that may come to you or others as a result of viewing this content. YA RLY Lite is not responsible
for screening content before it is posted.
ACCOUNT RESPONSIBILITY
Users are solely responsible for protecting their accounts from access by others. You are strongly
encouraged to select a hard-to-guess password and not re-use that password on any other sites where
it may be read by the owners or administrators of that site.
While it is acceptable for users to maintain multiple accounts on YA RLY Lite, YA RLY Lite can and does track
multiple shared accounts from a single or multiple computers as one account in terms of TOS violations.
If the TOS is violated severely enough to warrant the banning of one account, all known accounts shared
between a single or multiple users who use the same computer may also be banned for the actions of the
violating account at the administrators' discretion.
Because of this rule, it is highly recommended that board users do not share their accounts with others,
nor share their computers used to access the site with others, as the actions of some other person
could easily directly impact all known shared message board accounts.
PRIVACY AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION
Under normal circumstances, YA RLY Lite will never release your provided information to any third party
without a court order requiring us to do so. However, in cases of certain severe and/or repeated TOS
violations or illegal activities, we reserve the right to forward any and all known information
about you and your accounts to your ISP (including libraries, schools, and places of employment),
email service provider, your ISP account owner (if someone else is actually paying for it), and any
parties whose copyright has clearly been infringed by your actions on the boards.

Accessing or attempting to access any YA RLY Lite user account not belonging to the user in question
without permission is prohibited. Accessing another user's account in this manner is grounds for
immediate loss of all known accounts.
Using exploits or tricks in the YA RLY Lite code to gain privileges, access, or abilities not clearly
intended by the board design is also prohibited. While you are more than welcome to try and find any
exploits away from the public eye, making them public or using them for personal benefit is grounds
for immediate loss of all known accounts.
- Usernames, Profiles, Purchased Items, and Forms
Violating any of the above rules with a username, any part of the user profile (signature, quote,
email, IM), purchased item (Code/Images/Hyperlinks), or via feedback forms (such as the Mark for Moderation function) is considered a

such as karma or Seeds loss, may be applied at the moderator's discretion. Re-posting deleted violations (yours or those of others)
is also considered a violation.
Messages and topics may be removed at any time and for any reason at the sole discretion of YA RLY Lite
and its designated moderators. User accounts may be warned, suspended, or revoked at any time and
for any reason at the sole discretion of YA RLY Lite and its designated moderators. All determinations
of what is "acceptable" and "unacceptable" content will be determined solely by YA RLY Lite and whoever
it designates as moderators. You agree that the decision of the moderators and administrators is
final, and you may not legally contest their rulings.
Intentional, repeated, or severe violations are cause for the banning of your account, all use of the
boards from your IP address or your entire ISP, and YA RLY Lite contacting your ISP or other relevant
parties concerning your activities.
