Hello and Merry X-Mas to everyone!
I have made some changes to our (TOS) Terms Of Service and Privacy Policy. These changes are effective December 23rd, 2012 and everyone must read, understand and accept the new TOS and Privacy Policy Terms.
The changes are how CAGCLAN.com uses cookies and how google uses cookies to server their ads on our website and forums.
Some of the changes made to the TOS and PP were made because of Law requirements when having a website. It is a lengthy contract but everyone has to read and accept it in order to avoid problems and remain part of CAGCLAN.com.
All "Registered Members" that also includes Clan Members, must understand what the whole Terms mean. I am just notifying you because the Law requires me to notify when changes are made to the TOS and Privacy Policy Terms on this site.
Your access or use of CAGCLAN.com subsequent to such an update signifies Your consent to be bound by such changes, in other words, you are acknowledging that you read and understood the new TOS and Privacy Policy Terms and accepted them.
So please read it carefully and make sure you understand it. There is nothing in there that is going to put you in bad situation and we are not forcing you to do anything illegal, unmoral, unethical or out of the ordinary for visiting and being a member of our website.
If you have any questions and you want more clarification, please contact me at CheechDogg@cagclan.com or just simply ask the questions here. No question is a dumb question, so do not be afraid to ask it.
Changes made as of December 23, 2012 are how cookies are used here at CAGCLAN.com.
