Terms of Service

• These Terms of Service (TOS) govern access to Gryffs. If you disagree with them you may not play the game. Failure to comply with these terms means you may lose accounts/items/gryffs, and not knowing is not an excuse. All players are expected to abide by the TOS. Updates to the TOS will be posted on the site news so users know when to read them again.
• Despite the fact that Gryffs is intended for all ages, all users are required to be thirteen years of age or older to play Gryffs to comply with the COPPA. We will not allow children under thirteen years of age to use our site, regardless of parental permission.
• All users are forbidden from posting anything illegal under their own country's laws or under the United States laws (where Gryffs is hosted). Similarly, users are forbidden from posting material that is not acceptable for all audiences.
• While we strongly recommend against posting your personal information on our site for other users, we will not take action against this. This information includes IM accounts or emails, real names or contact addresses. If such information needs to be exchanged, players are encouraged to do so via private messaging and not through the public chat
• Scamming, harassing, or generally impolite behavior will be dealt with severely. Players are expected to act in a responsible, honest manner towards others.
• Gryffs is intended to be G rated. Posting links to inappropriate content is not acceptable. This includes anything that breaks the rules, such as media or language. Because of this, posting Youtube links is no longer allowed, due to the vulgar language in almost all video comment pages.
• Because Gryffs allows teens (13 and up) to join, swearing is not allowed anywhere on the site. This includes minor swears.
• Spamming is not allowed. Spamming is sending repetitive messages that generally don't say much on the chat, messages, news comments, or billboards.
• Public black listing of any kind is not allowed. This includes but is not limited to: Any kind of list that adds a negative note to the individuals, transcation black lists, etc. This is extremely offensive to users, and while every user is free to turn down transactions or messages for any reason, that reasoning does not need to be made public.
• Targeting other users is not allowed in any way. This includes publically talking about issues regarding those users. If for any reason you find another user's behavior is unacceptable, please talk to a mod or admin about it through private messages. If you're unsure if it is targeting, consider this: Can the user in question read your complaints, and know that it is them being spoken about? If so, you may not want to post it.
• Each user may have one account only in which to play and collect gryffs. The use of spare accounts to hold gryffs or items is not acceptable.
• Sharing an account is not allowed. Every user is allowed one account only that they may not share with others. Account sharing is considered letting anyone have access to your account in any way. Rather or not you know the person in real life is irrelevant. Everything that happens in an account is the responsability of the account owner, including punishment.
• Account names cannot be changed unless by a request to an admin. Because of this, trading, selling, or giving away accounts is not allowed.
• Gryffs invites are intended to be given free of charge to new players. It is forbidden to accept any kind of currency, virtual pets, virtual items, or real-life currency for Gryffs invites.
• Users are allowed to trade Gryffs items or gryffs for other site currencies, as long as the other site allows such a trade. However, trading Gryffs items, currency, or gryffs for USD, EUR, or other real currency is forbidden. This includes Gryffs derivative works.
• There is no set price for items or gryffs, so players can ask for whatever price they want, no matter how unreasonable others may feel it is. Arguing that a price is too high in chat or on the billboard is not allowed - players are expected to just not buy the item and move on, rather than potentially discourage a sale to someone else by stating they do not feel the price is fair.
• In most cases, an admin will return lost damages that were the result of scammming, or the other player becoming inactive. However, there is a three day wait before any transactions will be reversed, regardless of reason. This is to give the current holder of said properties time to respond, as withholding another player's property is punishable by banning or fines.
