You acknowledge that Imagineficiton.com is viewed/read at your own risk. If you come across material which you find offensive or inappropriate, please contact us.
While the administrators and moderators of this site will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every post/story. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to this site express the views and opinions of the author and not the administrators, moderators or webmaster and hence they will not be held liable.

The Fiction Archive
1: Stories submitted to this archive MUST be original fiction works. Reproduction of copyright material is illegal and is forbidden. Any material found to be copied from another source or author will be deleted and the author will be removed from the archive.
If you discover a story which you believe to be plagiarized, please contact us immediately via e-mail or through a private message to chrono23 when you log in.
1a: Submitted stories should be backed up. While we continually monitor the server and make regular backups, these are primarily to preserve our software and database setup. We make no promise to archive your stories as an alternative to you making a backup. While we make every endeavour to safely store submitted stories, we cannot be held responsible for circumstances beyond our control, such as server crashes and hacking attempts etc. which may cause any submitted material to be irretrievably lost.
Disallowed Material: This site does not accept material it's staff considers to be NC-17 in nature. Stories involving graphic sex and/or extreme violence should be labeled NC-17. The reasons for the application of an NC-17 rating can be violence or sex or aberrational behavior or drug abuse or any other elements which, when present, would be considered too strong and therefore off-limits for children. Any such material will not be allowed on Imaginefiction.com. All reasonable efforts are made by the owner and staff to keep such material from being posted on this site.
If we receive complaints about a story we may offer the option to revise it or remove it at our discretion.
3: Stories only please. We will not accept lists, interactive writing, or anything similar.
5: Removal of account/story: Any authors found abusing the site, other users or staff will be warned and if they continue to do so, will have their accounts removed. Major incidents of abuse will result in immediate removal of the author's account.
5a: Removal of stories:NC-17/Copyright material is removed immediately for legal reasons - stories with overly spammed review threads are removed. Authors whose stories contain other violations will be contacted by the staff (please note it is your responsibility to give us a working email address and to check you can receive our mail) and given seven days to amend the violation before a staff member removes the stories. All content removed by the site owner and staff is permanently gone and in no way recoverable. This includes chapters, stories, and reviews. Always back up your material.
5b: Rejection of submitted stories. Stories may be rejected for a number of reasons. An e-mail is sent with each chapter rejection. Due to the amount of daily submissions, the staff of Imaginefiction.com will not be able to repair and amend violations in your stories. Stories will be rejected for corrections where needed.
5c: Multiple accounts used for self promotion/reviews. Any member who registers multiple accounts for the purpose of self promotion or to review their own stories will have their account/s removed.
