- No shared accounts.
- You are only allowed up 3 accounts.
- No external scripts in any programming language.
- No pornographic, racist, religiously offensive, obscene, abusive, or generally mean/rude materials allowed.
- Don't steal our stuff! It's copyrighted. This means all the text, images, and code belong to Furry Paws.

inappropriate, even if it's not on this list, do not discuss it on this site. Remember, there are kids who
play this site. Keep it G-rated. You are, however, allowed to discuss these topics in private messages as
long as the content is kept G-rated.
Terms of Service
Note: New additions colored in red.
Furry Paws ("www.furry-paws.com", "FP", "site") is owned privately by me ("I").
FP is an online dog simulation comprised of fake kennels, fake dogs, fake shows,
fake shops, and many more fake things, intended for use by those
at least 13 years of age or older. Anyone
who is under the age of 13 must first obtain the permission of a parent or
guardian before signing up for or playing FP. I try to keep FP as clean as possible, but
please note that there are certain areas of the site that are determined strictly by user
("member"), defined as someone who has signed up for an account on FP, input, hence, I
cannot always control everything that goes on the site. Therefore, FP will not accept
any responsibility for the distress that some of the aforementioned areas might hold.
Each user is granted a certain set of privileges. Please note that they are only privileges,
not rights, and can be taken away at any time for any reason without explanation being neccessary.
Privileges include, but are not limited to: logging on to your user account, interacting with other
users through messages and message boards, owning virtual dogs, personalizing virtual kennel pages,
personalizing owned virtual clinic/shop pages, personalizing virtual dog descriptions, posting on
the message boards, and creating virtual shows. One or all of these privileges may be and will be
taken away or restricted if a member does not strictly adhere to the Terms of Service. FP also
reserves the right to take away any of the above privileges and restrict access to the site for
any reason without any explanation. These rules apply to everyone, "basic" accounts and "elite"
accounts alike.
FP reserves the right to shut down at any time for any length of time
or permanently without any warning or reason given. In other words, if I decide to close
down FP, I can. If I decide to close FP for a while for the heck
of it or for renovations, bug fixes, or
anything else, I can.
A user is responsible and accepts complete liability for any content he or she uploads onto
Furry Paws and agrees that Furry Paws
is not responsible for it. This includes, but is not limited to, pictures posted or linked to
without the permission from holder of the copyright, and programming
code that is copyrighted by another party.
Shared accounts, accounts that are used by two users, are prohibited. But, since people do
seem to like to do it, by logging in to an account that is used by two members you agree that
FP forfeits all responsibility in consequences that may result because of untrustworthy partners.
You will not own more than three user accounts, active or inactive, on FP. Ownership of an account
is defined as, but not limited to, possessing the username and password of an account.
The use of any scripts outside of the www.furry-paws.com domain written in PERL, Javascript,
CGI, PHP, ASP, or any other programming language on this site is strictly prohibited. Any
such use will constitute in the offender's account(s) being immediately frozen, and the offender
will be banned from all further use of FP.
You will not upload, or otherwise distribute onto the site any pornographic, racist, obscene, religiously
offensive, abusive, or anything else that violates
any law or infringes on any person's rights.
Inappropriate topics, such as (but not limited to) sexuality, religion, politics, or puberty will not be allowed or
tolerated on either the message boards or the chat. Furry Paws reserves the right to limit any discussions on the
message boards and chat. Please keep in mind that children are welcome on this site and do not need to be exposed
to mature subjects.
Moderators will remove any posts, kennel pages, etc. with inappropriate, non G-rated titles/content and the offending
player will be warned. If the player continues to violate these guidelines, they will be banned from the site.
You are allowed to discuss topics such as religion and politics in private messages as long as the content is kept
G-rated and non-abusive. Self-affirming tags/statements on nicknames, kennel pages, shop pages, etc are also
acceptable as long as they don't directly insult a group of people.
The sale of Furry Paws cash (defined as the currency of Furry Paws), Furry Paw Points, items, dogs, or accounts for
any form of "real life" currency, which includes but is not limited to USD, CD, etc., is
strictly prohibited. You agree not to participate in the sale or purchase of such.
The images, text, and code of this site belong to FP. You agree not to plagiarize, steal, or
otherwise pilfer any of these materials without
the sole permission of me, the owner.
If you find any bugs, defined as errors in the code of FP, you agree to notify me immediately
by email (admin@furry-paws.com), describing the location of the bug and what you were doing at
the time of it. Any user who abuses a bug will be punished, maybe even banned.
You agree to allow FP to collect your IP address and time of login. You agree to allow FP to
place cookies in your computer. Use of these things are purely to enhance a user's experience
on the site.
The above Terms of Service are subject to change at any time. Use of this site signifies that
you have read, accept, and agree
with the Terms of Service. Any violation of the Terms of Service will result in the punishment
of user privileges, as defined above,
and restriction to the site.
If you do not agree to accept and adhere to the Terms of Service above, then cease use of this
site IMMEDIATELY.
