Xertion and its Owners/Administrators and Affiliates are not responsible for any of the content or actions from the users on this network. We accept no liability for any hurt, injury, loss or damage that you may incur whilst using, attempting to use, or your inability to use this service. We reserve the right to deny access to this server to any, for any reason without warning. Pursuant to United States Code (USC), Title 18, Part 1, Section 2701 Part (c), Xertion may do a passive scan on your system to ensure it does not provide a security risk to our network or its users. More information on this scan can be provided upon request. Accessing this system once specifically denied access via a different host or ISP is illegal, violators may have their ISPs or law enforcement notified. IRC is an unmoderated environment and you connect here at your own risk.

Attacks/Virii (Viruses) that deny service, hurt, impair, or otherwise cause damage to this network, or the users of it are illegal via Title 18, U.S.C. Part 1, Chapter 47, Section 1030. They are also illegal via the Canadian Criminal Code s. 342.2. For information on laws concerning DoS attacks, and other computer crimes, in other countries, please contact local law enforcement. Xertion will cooperate fully with any ISP, proven law enforcement entity, or court order to aid in the apprehension of persons who violate the applicable laws.

This server is unmoderated, but for security reasons, connection logs are maintained. Be advised that in case of server misconduct, these logs may be consulted. Xertion does not, and will not at any point, keep logs of user or channel conversations public or private, nor will Xertion staff attempt to snoop on another channel without making their presence fully known. Xertion fully respects the privacy of their users at all times.

Xertion is a privately owned and operated network. As such, Xertion staff reserves the right to remove any person or bot from any or all servers for any reason at any time.

Each channel founder is responsible for policing their own channel(s) by the correct laws and guidelines. Xertion accepts no responsibility for the actions of channel members or their founders. Xertion IRC operator law is to only deal with network-level issues - we will refuse to interfere in any channel issues at all times.

TOR NOTICE: We strongly support the idea of privacy and anonymity online. Unfortunately, due to excessive amounts of abuse from spammers and other malicious actors, we were forced to completely disallow use of Tor network-wide. Any user connecting using Tor will be automatically banned upon discovery. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but it was necessary to protect our users from abuse. You may use a trusted/paid VPN service instead.

THIS IS A FREE SERVICE PROVIDED TO YOU BY HARD-WORKING VOLUNTEERS. Please do NOT disrespect or otherwise insult them for any reason.
