Be respectful to the people in the community and the community will be respectful to you. If you treat others the way you wish to be treated I foresee absolutely no problems.

You and only you are responsible for the legalities for what you say, upload and do on YAN. We do not take any legal responsibility for anything illegal you might be doing on YAN.

Registered Sex Offenders - We are very protective of our community and we have the right to refuse entry to any sex offenders. This is done on a case by case basis. If you are on the registry we highly recommend you email us before you sign-up to YAN and explain your situation so that together we can prevent future headaches.
With respect to case-by-case basis, if you are on a registry because when you were 19 you dated a 17 year old with bitter parents we might just make fun of you but if you committed any violent sex crimes then we are definitely going to have a problem with you on YAN.

You Have To Be Legal - 18 Years Old Or Older - We are not talking about illegal as in illegal immigrant. We are talking about legal as in age of consent and age to be able to see and buy pornography legal if you want to become a member of YAN. No 18 years old of older, no legal, no membership, no ifs, ands or buts!

Certain Topics Are Prohibited on YAN - Anything involving under-age children, rape, murder or any type of violent crimes will not be permitted on YAN and will be removed. Role-playing about these topics will be permitted though.

Be Responsible If You Choose To Meet Someone - I personally think that the large majority of people out there are good people, but that does not mean you shouldn't still be careful. If you decide to meet someone you meet on YAN in real life take the proper precautions. We do not and can not screen users of YAN and can not be at all responsible for anything that happens outside the boundaries of YAN. Just use your common sense and everything should be fine!

You Uploaded It, You Own It - Assuming it was your media to begin with, if you uploaded any media then you retain the right to that media. It is not YAN's (or any of it's members) media just because you uploaded it here. If anyone wants to use the media for any reason what so ever they have to contact the person who uploaded it. On that note, don't upload any media that does not belong to you. If anyone complains that someone has uploaded media that does not belong to them we will have to investigate and we might have to remove the piece of media.

Don't Spam Users - If we find out you are spamming users then we will have no choice but to put a stop to it. It is our responsibility to protect our users and the quality of their experience.


Like YAN itself, the Terms of Use and Community Guidelines will evolve over time but the general theme of keeping good karma and we do not do anything to others that you would not want to be done to yourself will always be kept.
