Admins and/or Hosts of the UniBall Services reserve the right to ban offending members from any or all of the UniBall Services.
Take Responsibility
You are responsible and liable for all your activities while participating in the UniBall Services. Remember, you are responsible for anything you say or post.
ByteRyder offers our users the ability to create their own BR Chat squad channels. ByteRyder takes no responsibility for the ratings, content, nor any activities resulting from the content or otherwise, in these areas. The creators of these user-created areas are required to agree to and uphold this Code of Conduct before creating their squad.
ByteRyder reserves the right to remove at any time, without notice, any user-created squad (or any particular posting) that violates this Code of Conduct.
You are responsible for any actions you may take based on advice or information you receive online. Use your own good judgment when evaluating information provided through any UniBall Service, remember that the information provided could be from people at any age and experience level. The decision to conduct transactions with anyone is your own and you should conduct your own research prior to making any decisions.
Remember that the words you enter in a burst of passion or indignant anger will be there for you and everyone else to see, sometimes long after those intense feelings have passed. That's not meant to discourage spontaneity, but just a friendly reminder of the long-term existence and effects of what you say or post.

ByteRyder reserves the right to immediately terminate or suspend access to any UniBall Service for violations of our Code of Conduct.
