Terms of Use

Basically...

TodaysMeet provides a service and would love for you to use it. The basic service is free, and we may offer paid upgrades for advanced features in the future. Our service is designed to allow open and uncensored discussion, and encourage you to express yourself freely. However, be responsible in what you say. In particular, make sure that none of the prohibited items listed below appear in or are linked from your rooms (stuff like spam, viruses, illegal downloads, or hate content).

These Terms of Use are available under a Creative Commons Sharealike license, which means you're more than welcome to steal it and repurpose it for your own use—just make sure to replace references to us with ones to you. They are based on the Terms of Service from WordPress.com.
