Acceptance of Terms

Read the following carefully before you sign you to this site or use the group account. Detailed below are the terms and conditions that you must adhere to to use this site and also the privacy guarentees we make to our users

Welcome to the wolfandhound.com! This is an archive for the Yahoo Group Sirius_Black_and_Remus_Lupin, which is dedicated to the theoretical romantic relationship between Remus Lupin and Sirius in the Harry Potter Novels.

Please use your common sense and consideration.

Failure to accept the following terms will deny you the right to post content to the Wolf and Hound archive. Failure to observe the Terms of Service is grounds for deletion of your writing and black listing of your author account.

Cookies

1. This site uses cookies set for the duration of your visit. Once the browser is closed, you must sign in again to access the site.
2. We do not use cookies in any way to violate our members' privacy.

Children

1. This site is registered with ICRA (Internet Content Rating Association) and is classified as an adult site due to the availability of some graphic material. This site does not pander to those younger than eighteen and every effort is made to deny access to them.
2. Parents are responsible for installing and using filtering software, which would deny them access to material considered 'adult in nature'. We have, to the best of our knowledge, installed the meta tags read by Netscape, Internet Explorer, and various other parental control programs such as NetNanny so that parents can filter out any material they deem inappropriate for their child. These actions are useless unless parents use the filtering software. We have done our part, please do yours.
