VIP Conduit Guidelines

Welcome, everyone to VIP Conduit.com. We are delighted to have you join us and participate in our chat site. We hope your visit here is fun and meaningful and that you will return many times. While we will make every effort to keep our policy statement as concise as possible, we are a work in progress and there may be additions made from time to time. We, therefore, suggest an occasional review of this document.

VIP Conduit is an audio chat site and a microphone is required for participation in our chat rooms.

All board members, moderators, tech team members and event hosts, must be supporting members of VIP Conduit. When in one of our family chat rooms, keep in mind that there are no age restrictions here and children may be using it as well as older adults. No profanity or inappropriate adult topics in these rooms please!

Adult Rooms

Conversations in the adult rooms are less restrictive both in content and language. Harassment of any kind is unacceptable in any room and behavior of that type will be considered grounds for review of your membership by our Management Group. Examples of harassment include, but are not limited to, repeatedly following someone from room to room, making any statement that could be considered to be intimidating or threatening. Explicitly sexual or X rated conversation is not permissible in any of our rooms. Our goal is to provide a comfortable chat environment for all and we feel this can be best reached by mutual respect and consideration from all participants.

Privacy And The Use Of Our chat Rooms

At VIP Conduit we think that our members expect that when they enter one of our chat rooms they can be confident that the people they see in the room are the only ones that are aware of the activities in the room they have entered. Therefore no VIP Conduit member may cross connect our chat rooms with another VOIP service such as Skype, MSN or chat rooms on other sites nor may they make it possible for people in other locations who are not in the chat room to monitor that chat room. Additionally, no VIP Conduit member may enter one of our chat rooms when he or she is already in another chat room. The above rules may be waived if the member has received prior permission from the VIP Conduit board.
