User blog:Rogue maltron/TOU for dummies

so as i have noticed  most new users at times do not understand the TOU or do not bother to read it being inspired by the dummies instructional series i have decided to write this blog to simplify the daunting TOU.

what the TOU basically says
so let us start of by defining TOU. TOU basically refers to Terms Of use hence is the name states these are rules you need to understand before using a product or know while using a product in this case we are talking about FANDOMS Terms Of Use. it basically outlines 9 things and these are:
 * Membership
 * Wikia, Inc.'s Intellectual Property
 * User Conduct
 * Submitting Content to the Site and Copyrights
 * Company Original Content
 * Media Content
 * Claims of Copyright Infringement
 * Disclaimers and Limitation on Liability
 * Governing Law, Venue, and Jurisdiction
 * Terms and conditions

I do know that some of these look scary but you will get to understand them as we go forward

Membership
This section of FANDOM TOU basically states that in order to register for membership you must be at least 13 years old to use the service and acknowledge that the Service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. You may not use the Service and may not accept the Terms of Use if you by law are barred from using the Service or accepting the Terms of Use or lack parental or legal guardian consent and you are not fully able and competent to enter into, and comply with, these Terms of Use

Wikia, Inc.'s Intellectual Property
This basically states that the name WIKIA is a registered trademark of a US company and is not to be copied or reused for another company or domain name in such a way that may cause confusion.

This simply states that you are not to use the service in a manner that breaks FANDOMS community guidelines. That simply means no:
 * Abusing or insulting other users
 * Impersonating other users
 * post any illegal content for illegal purposes
 * Solicit personal information from any user under the age of 18
