This covers information related to the Terms and Conditions listed on the website. If any additional information about this site or Kuro-chan should be included on here, please contact me at my email address.

Permission to obtain the ranks for website/personal use is not necessary (In other words, go ahead and download what you need). However, should you wish to use Kuro-RPG ranksets on a website (RPG, Information, Clan, SIMM, Fleet, etc.), please include a link (and/or) banner attached to your credits, main page or where the ranks are used exclusively. Sample text for link exchange information can be found further down the page.

Example reason: Should browsers or users come across your site, see the ranks and are interested in finding out where they come from, a link back to me makes things easy.

Since Kuro-RPG material deals mostly with content based off existing copyrighted and properly distributed material, Kuro-RPG images, textures, webpage source, all content may be not sold to any person/party under any circumstances. Commissions are to be handled as donations to the site only, thus I will not specify how much for any discussed work. If you paid for Kuro-RPG ranks through a third party, then it is recommend you obtain a refund immediately. All ranks available on the website are offered freely.

Please email Kuro-chan for requests/information.

Banners are under subject to casual "Checking" to make sure the links are still working. If they found to be inactive or the website is gone, the banner link is de-activated (not removed).

Hotlinking to my ranks is strictly prohibited. There are plenty of freeservers where you can host the rank images, plus I need my bandwidth for my regular traffic. In response to hotlinking issue with my ranksets some time ago, all sets are now in .zip files. .zip sets can be found in the rankset pages.

If you wish to use existing ranksets as a referrence point for your own designs, please contact Kuro-chan or the guest you are basing your work off of and inform the person before posting them online.

Please do not modify material from this site without written permission from the webmaster or forum support staff.

90% of modified jobs tend to degrade the overall quality of the image (making them look "cut-and-pastey"). Kuro-chan works with transparent templates and layers that are reduced in size and are better designed to fit together.

Modifications to existing images can be requested through an email to Kuro-chan. If you are planning to modify guest work, please contact the guest artist in question.

If you would care to add this referrence in your disclaimer / site information page, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to Rear Admiral Gregor Mormar and then-forum user Markbell for the text ideas.

Also, if you could refrain from including my email in your contact information, I would appreciate it, unless you happen to encrypt it with a [spam] code like I do. A lot of internet bots obtain email contacts through web code that not been encrypted in some way (Example: Including [spam] or [fake] when entering in the email address on the webpage code), leaving my old kuro-rpg.com email box a victim of vicious spam attacks. Thank you for your concern and consideration.
