Born Ready - Terms of use

These terms apply to Born Ready (https://bornready.co.nz). By registering or posting you agree to them. If you don't agree, don't use the board.

Who can join

You must be 13 or older to register. If you're under 18, check with a parent or guardian before signing up. We delete accounts we find belong to someone under 13.

Your account

  • Keep your password to yourself. You're responsible for what's posted from your account.
  • One account per person.
  • Give a real email address. We use it to activate your account and for password resets, and never show it to other users.

What you post

  • You keep ownership of what you post. By posting, you let us store and display it on this board, and keep it in backups, for as long as the board runs or until it's removed.
  • Only post things you have the right to share. Credit photographers and artists.
  • You must follow the board rules. We can edit, move, hide or delete any post, and suspend or ban any account, when we think it's needed.
  • Posts are public: anyone, including people without an account and search engines, can read most of the board.
  • Private messages are private between users, but they can be reported to moderators, and the board's admins can technically access them. Don't use them for anything truly secret.

Trades and shows

Trades, sales and show listings are between users. Born Ready doesn't check them and isn't responsible for losses, cancelled shows or anything that goes wrong.

Harmful content

We take complaints under the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015 seriously. To complain about a post, use the Report button or email [email protected] with a link to the post and the reason. We aim to respond within 48 hours.

No guarantees

The board is run by volunteers on a home server. It's provided as it is, and it might go down, lose data or close. We'll do our best to keep backups, but we can't promise anything.

Changes and closing accounts

We may change these terms; when we do, we'll post in Rules and announcements. You can ask us to close your account at any time (see the privacy statement).

New Zealand law applies to these terms.
