Interactive Services

We may offer interactive services on our site, such as chat rooms or bulletin boards. If we provide such services, we will inform you about the nature of the service, whether it is moderated, and the type of moderation used (human or technical).

Minors must obtain parental or guardian consent to use interactive services. We recommend that parents discuss online safety with their children, as moderation is not foolproof. Where moderation is provided, we will generally offer a way to contact the moderator if issues arise.
