Please read
this agreement thoroughly and carefully before entering or using
this site. Upon entering and accessing Imagination Café,
you agree to be bound by this agreement, and therefore are subject
to the terms and conditions set forth below.
Welcome
to the Imagination Café website! By using the
Imagination Café website, you are implying your agreement
to these terms of use. If you do not agree to these terms, you
may not access or use the Imagination Café website. We
(Imagination Café and its agents and employees) reserve
the right, at our sole discretion, to modify, add, change, or
delete portions of these terms of use at any time.
Restrictions
on Use
All web design,
characters, and materials contained in the Imagination Café
website are its sole copyrighted property, as well as the copyrighted
property of any of its current and/or future affiliated companies
or licensees. No material from this website may be reproduced,
republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, or distributed in
any way. The use of an Imagination Café material on any
other website or computer environment, or for any commercial or
public use, is strictly prohibited without first obtaining written
consent from Imagination Café.
Safety
We comply
with Internet child safety guidelines, such as the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), therefore we ask
for a parent or guardian's email address before a child can join
Klub Krumbs or participate in other members-only areas of the
website. As required by law, all parents receive:
- a message
about their child's membership and registration on Imagination-Café.com
- a link
to our Privacy Policy
- a list
of activities that your child might participate in as a member
of Imagination-Café.com
Imagination
Café does not:
- Collect
more information from children than is reasonably necessary
for them to participate in website activities.
- Share
any personal information about children with third parties
- When posting
user-submitted work on the website, such as stories or book
and movie reviews, we will include only a child's first name.
Discussion
Boards
Any forums
offered as part of the Imagination Café website have strict
rules regarding participation. If you use our forums, you acknowledge
that these are public and not private communications. Imagination
Café can not make any guarantees regarding the security
of any information you disclose online, and therefore we urge
you to familiarize yourself with online safety rules. We reserve
the right to remove or edit content from any forum, and will try
to remove or edit that content which we view as inappropriate
for our audience, but we are not obligated to do so.
Posting guidelines
are as follows:
Users shall
not upload to, distribute through or otherwise publish, via email,
message boards, or otherwise, any content which is libelous, defamatory,
obscene, threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights,
abusive, illegal or otherwise objectionable, that would constitute
a criminal offense, violate the rights of any third party, or
that would give rise to liability or violate any law.
Children,
therefore, should adhere to the following rules while using our
forums:
- they should
not give out their full name, age, address, school, phone number,
or email address
- they should
not give out their password to anyone except their parents—not
even friends!
- they should
follow these online safety rules at home, at school, at the
library, or at the house of a friend or relative.
Imagination
Café reserves the right to terminate any screen name it
reasonably believes is being used by an adult, is being used for
commercial purposes, or is otherwise in violation of this Agreement.
Amending
the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
We reserve
the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or
delete portions of these terms of use at any time. At that time,
we will post notice of any such change, modification, addition,
or deletion on the Imagination Café website.
Cookies (not Krumbs!)
To reiterate, Imagination Cafe is committed to
providing a fun, entertaining and safe website for children 13
and under. Therefore, we only collect personally identifiable
information online from children under 13 with parental consent.
For example, we only use a user's valid email address to send
these users (and their parents) a message to activate their Klub
Krumbs account, or to notify them if they have won a contest or
giveaway as a member of Klub Krumbs. Additionally, we use member
addresses to send our Café Crack-ups, weekly newsletters
that contain site updates, as well as riddles and jokes for kids
to enjoy. Each newsletter contains instructions on how to be removed
from the subscription list by sending a return email.
We will occasionally respond to emails coming
to the Suggestion Box without parental consent, but this will
only be a one-time correspondence. Or, we may respond on a one-time
basis when we have requested feedback from a user. Otherwise,
we have no obligation to respond to our visitors' correspondence,
though we love hearing from them!
Additonally, when visitors come to our site, we
automatically collect some personally identifiable "computer"
information, such as the type of computer operating system, the
user's "IP" address, the web browser being used, and
information regarding the Internet Service provider.
Imagination Café uses a software technology
called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that
we and certain third parties place in visitors' computer browsers
to store their preferences. Cookies themselves contain no personally
identifiable information, rather, we use them only to determine
how many visitors we have and how often they visit various sections
of the site.
Our site occasionally contains links to other
sites, including possibly those of sponsors or advertisers, whose
information collection practices may differ from ours. Sometimes
the other sites might conduct contests or giveaways that are promoted
on Imagination Cafe. Third party websites may also use cookies.
Visitors should therefore consult the other sites'
privacy notices, since those sites are not covered by our privacy
policy and may follow procedures that are different from Imagination
Café.
