Terms and agreements of submitting, and using user content to Kuma's Corner, affiliates of Kuma's Corner, staff of Kuma's Corner and using images from kumascorner.com or associated places and location.
This is boring legal stuff that no one likes to deal with except for certain dicks that will find and use any thing against you just for their advantage and make the world less fun for us normal inhabitants of this spinning rock of freedom. The shortened of this is that anything you send us, we will try to use. We will also try to credit you (if you give us proper information) and you are also promising that the stuff you send us is indeed yours to send. And if not, then we can blame you for lying. We don't want you taking stuff from us (or any for that matter) and say that you created it, or it's your idea. When it's not. That's rude. And lying. And we do not agree with that at all. We are cool with it if you want to use things you find on the site of us in almost any way. Just make sure you point the credit where it is deserved. That means if we use someones stuff here and you want to use it somewhere else, cool. Just say who the original person was that created the awesome-ness. That's right. Just credit the person. We don't care if you are using it in the worst I hate Kuma's Corner blog. Be respectful to the person who created the content you are using. We just don't want to see images of use showing up on white supremacists racist idiot sites, or photoshoping our faces on some porn. That's just not cool.

Now there are some things that will happen if you do not follow our respectful guidelines. First we will try to get a hold of you and say, "stop it dick, this is not cool" After which you should stop being a dick. Either by not using the stuff, or change the fact that you are using it like a dick. If not then you are one of the dicks that this is for. Then we have to get serious and everything stops being fun. And I don't want to do that. It's a waste of time. So please. Don't be a dick, and use common sense. It's not that hard.

There is more reading to the rights and legal stuff below. But still a bit more first. If you do not like what you see on our website for any reason, you can opt out of viewing the site any further. It's easy. Stay away. No more phone calls about being confused, or offended by a paragraph about being awesome. As you may have noticed, we are not a normal establishment. We have found our nitch and gotten popular for NOT catering to the masses and doing the things we want to do the way we want to do them. Simple. Just because we have a more diverse and different customers then when we first started, does not mean for any reason that we are going to change anything about us. That being said, they have given the web-developer (me) pretty much free range on how and what goes on the site. And I abuse that. I also have a very weird sense of humor. I am not asking you to understand it, just do not go into panic mode that you do not understand it. The staff did not approve their back stories, photographs, or pretend names. That was me. I also made up all the paragraphs on all the pages. Same with whenever I have to take the website down for maintenance. They do not know why it is down or what it says when it is down. So do not yell at them. They don't even understand why I am as off my rocker as I am. They just let me do it. Even furthermore, Kuma's Corner and myself do not aim to offend anyone. That is not our goal. But if you do find something offensive, walk away. We will not censor ourselves for your virgin ears. And do not ask us to. We aim to make your tummy bobble while giggling at the cynicism that is plastered all over this place. And if, unfortunately, you do not find it humorous, then so be it. But do not ruin other peoples fun around you by being a dick.

If you would like more rantings on how to be awesome and not a dick, email awesome@kumascorner.com
If you would like to use something about us, or want general information, email info@kumascorner.com
If you have anything you want to share with us, be it images, movies, stories, jokes or boobs (we love boobs) email images@kumascorner.com
If you have a problem with the website, or you found an error email me (web-developer) at web@kumascorner.com
Any other information can be achieved by emailing info@kumascorner.com.

Now it's time to say EXACTLY the same thing I just said, but in really big stupid legal words. Man do I hate the dicks I gotta do this for:
