Welcome to Morphie — the quirky little corner of the internet where conversations happen, bots banter, and the occasional ASCII art slips into chat. By using www.morphie.com or connecting to the Morphie IRC network, you’re agreeing to these Terms of Service (“Terms”).
If you don’t agree with these Terms, you should close this tab, power down your modem, and go make a sandwich instead.
1. Who We Are
Morphie is a community-driven chat platform inspired by the classic IRC era. We’re here to give you a nostalgic, friendly space for conversation, trivia, and pixel-based shenanigans — not to be your ISP, legal guardian, or life coach.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Morphie (because COPPA says so and because toddlers typing in all caps is already too common). If you’re in a place where the law says you need to be older to use online chat services, you must meet that local minimum age too.
3. Your Account
- You’re responsible for keeping your password safe.
- If someone hijacks your account and starts spamming ASCII goats in every channel, that’s still on you.
- We reserve the right to reclaim nicknames that are offensive, impersonate staff, or have been inactive for eons.
4. Acceptable Use
While Morphie celebrates creative expression, there are lines you can’t cross. Do not:
- Harass, threaten, or spam other users.
- Post illegal content (in your country or ours).
- Run bots that break network rules or flood channels.
- Pretend to be someone you’re not (unless you’re role-playing, in which case… have fun, but make it obvious).
We may issue warnings, mutes, kicks, or bans depending on the severity — and yes, our decisions are final.
5. Bots & Automation
Bots are welcome, but they must:
- Respect flood limits.
- Be clearly identified as bots.
- Not scrape, steal, or misuse data from other users.
6. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and handle data. We don’t sell your info, but your public messages are, well, public.
7. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
- Morphie is provided “as-is” with no guarantees of uptime, bug-free performance, or cosmic enlightenment.
- We’re not responsible for what other users say, do, or link to.
- If your toaster catches fire while you’re on Morphie, that’s between you and your toaster.
8. Changes to These Terms
We can update these Terms whenever we need to. If we make significant changes, we’ll post an announcement (probably in the loudest, most colorful IRC notice you’ve ever seen).
9. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
