General Guidelines
This site is offered for use as a service to its members.

All information and data on this site remains the property of its original poster and of www.martialartslife.net. Copyright restrictions apply to all information, media and data files on this site and is not to be replicated without authorisation first.

While reading this, please keep in mind that we are all here to have fun, kill time, learn or whatever and that at all times the sites best interests are in mind with any actions taken towards individuals or groups.

The general rules for the use of this site are as follows:

• Treat all members with respect and courtesy - We reserve the right to ban any member(s) who make personal attacks, threats or mistreats any other member in any way (discretion is up to the moderator at the time of the offence).
• No Spamming - This includes useless posts to increase posts, mass private messages and any mass advertising.
• Defamatory remarks made towards businesses or individuals will not be tolerated on this website - We understand that if you have had a bad experience with a business you want to warn other people of said experience. Unfortunately, the same publicly expressed opinion could be viewed as libelous and/or constitute an attempt to deter business from any individual or business. Australian law holds the site owner partly responsible for any defamatory remarks posted on said website, and that is unacceptable. Informing people via private messages is tolerated as it is not a public message. With this said, feel free to post any information about a business or individual that you have had good dealings with.
• All businesses are to contact community@martialartslife.net before advertising anything on this site with the exception of the designated areas made available (events calednar, club directory etc).
