The rules of the road, in plain English.

These Terms govern your use of every Tennessee Roleplay surface — the website at tnrp.net, our Discord servers and bot, and our private ER:LC server. They work together with our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle your data.

You accept these Terms when you do any of the following: sign in to tnrp.net, join our Discord server, link your Discord or Roblox account to our bot, or join our private ER:LC server. Continuing to use any of these after we update the Terms (see §16) is your acceptance of the new version.

If you do not agree, leave. Run /unverify in the Discord bot to remove the Discord-Roblox link, leave the Discord server, and stop joining the ER:LC server. We will treat your departure as a request to delete your account unless you tell us otherwise — see Privacy Policy §11.

• “TNRP”, “we”, “us” — Tennessee Roleplay, the staff team operating the service from Norway, as identified in our Privacy Policy §1.
• “Service” — the website, the Discord bot, the Discord servers we run, and the private ER:LC server, together.
• “You”— the individual using the Service. If you are using it through accounts you do not personally own, “you” means the human pressing the keys.
• “Staff” — administrators, moderators, and department heads who have been given elevated permissions in the Discord and the bot.
• “Platforms” — Discord, Roblox, and Police Roleplay Community (PRC) collectively. Each has its own terms; see §13.

To use the Service, you must:

• Be at least 13 years old, or the higher minimum age set by your country's implementation of GDPR Article 8 (some EU states set it at 14, 15, or 16), whichever is greater.
• Be the rightful owner of the Discord and Roblox accounts you link to us. Borrowed, shared, sold, or stolen accounts are not eligible.
• Be in good standing with Discord, Roblox, and Police Roleplay Community — not currently banned or suspended by any of them.
• Not be a person we have previously banned, unless your appeal has been granted (see §9).
• Be located somewhere using our Service is legal. We do not knowingly serve users in countries under international sanctions that would prohibit it.

Tennessee Roleplay is a state-roleplay server built on Roblox's Emergency Response: Liberty County. We run curated departments (PD, Fire, EMS), custom SOPs, an in-bot economy and stock market, and a moderation and ticketing system. We are a hobby project, not a business, not a registered company, not a paid service. There is no subscription, no microtransaction, and no real money inside the Service. Everything in the economy is fictional.

We make no guarantee that the Service will be available at any particular time, that any specific feature will keep existing, or that your in-game progress, characters, balances, or holdings will be preserved across rule changes, rebalances, or breaking bugs. We try to preserve them. We cannot promise it.

5.1 — One Discord, one Roblox

The Service links exactly one Discord account to exactly one Roblox account. Attempting to link a Roblox account that is already linked to a different Discord, or to operate multiple Discord accounts on the same Roblox identity, will fail by design and may result in moderation action (see §8).

5.2 — Account security is on you

You are responsible for keeping your Discord and Roblox credentials safe. We will not accept “my alt did it”, “my little brother used my account”, or “someone else logged in” as a defense to actions taken from your verified account. Lock your accounts down, enable two-factor authentication, and do not share them.

5.3 — Disconnecting

You can disconnect at any time by running /unverify in our Discord. That removes our stored link between your Discord and your Roblox accounts and deletes the OAuth tokens we held. To delete more — your character profile, your economy data, your moderation history, etc. — open a ticket per Privacy Policy §11. Note that moderation records may be retained for the period described there.

Tennessee Roleplay is a whitelisted server. Admission is at the discretion of staff. We may refuse a whitelist application, revoke an existing whitelist, or remove you from the Service for any non-discriminatory reason. Reasons we will give you when practicable, but we are not obliged to share private moderation context with the person being acted on, and in cases of safeguarding we will not.

Whitelisting is a privilege, not a right. It is also not a trade good — selling, gifting, or trading whitelist status, staff positions, in-game licenses, or in-game money for real money or external services is a fast route to a permanent ban.

Specific community rules — for the Discord, the in-game server, the economy, and each department — are maintained in the rules guide and the SOPs published on this site. They can change with the community; this document only sets the baseline.

You will not:

• Harass, threaten, sexually harass, dox, stalk, hate-speech, or target any person — staff, member, or non-member.
• Sexualise minors, share or discuss child sexual abuse material, or roleplay relationships involving minors as anything other than minors in a normal civic context. Violations will be reported to Discord, Roblox, and where appropriate, law enforcement.
• Use cheats, exploits, automation, bug abuse, or third-party tools that give an unfair advantage in the game, the bot, or the economy.
• Operate alternate accounts to evade a ban, manipulate the economy or leaderboard, vote-stack a poll, or otherwise avoid the consequences of your behaviour. See Privacy §7 for how we detect this.
• Run scams, phishing, real-money trading, account selling, account boosting, or any other monetisation scheme using our Service as the venue.
• Spam, raid, or coordinate brigading inside or against our communities.
• Post NSFW, gore, or shock content in any channel not marked for it (there are no such channels in our Discord).
• Impersonate staff, departments, Discord, Roblox, PRC, or any real person or organisation.
• Attempt to disrupt, attack, reverse-engineer for malicious purpose, or break the security of any part of the Service.
• Use the Service in violation of any applicable law, of the Discord Terms of Service, of the Roblox Terms of Use, or of the ER:LC Terms of Use.

Roleplay context is not a free pass. “My character was just doing it” does not excuse harassment of a real person at the keyboard, real-life threats, or behaviour that breaks a platform's own rules.

When the community rules are broken, staff respond. Our escalation ladder, in rough order of severity, is: an informal note, a formal warning, a temporary mute or timeout, a kick, a temporary ban, and a permanent ban. We may skip steps for severe behaviour — safeguarding violations, explicit threats, exploits, ban-evasion, and the like jump directly to a permanent ban.

Every formal moderation action is logged with the moderator who issued it, the reason, and any duration. You can see your own moderation history on request. You can dispute any action via the appeals path in §9.

We aim for proportionate, consistent moderation. We will get it wrong sometimes; that is why appeals exist.

If you have been warned, muted, kicked, or banned and you believe the action was incorrect or disproportionate, you can appeal:

• If you can still access the Discord, run the /ban-appeal or /appeal command, or open a Ban Appeals ticket.
• If you have been banned from the Discord, reply to the ban DM you received from the bot. The bot accepts appeal messages even when you are no longer in the guild.
• If neither works, contact a staff member on Roblox using the username in your verified profile.

A different staff member from the one who took the action will review your appeal. We aim to respond within fourteen (14) days. Possible outcomes: action is upheld, action is reduced, action is reversed. The decision on an appeal is final at the staff level; if you believe the outcome involved a violation of your data-protection rights, you also have the right to complain to your supervisory authority (see Privacy §11).

10.1 — By you

You can stop using the Service at any time. To remove the identity link we hold, run /unverify. To delete more of your data, see Privacy §11.

10.2 — By us

We can suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for any of the reasons in §7, for any of the reasons in §6, or for any other lawful reason. Where it is practical and safe to do so we will tell you why. Where we cannot — most commonly in safeguarding situations — we will say so.

10.3 — Effect of termination

On termination, your access to the Service ends. Sections of these Terms that should reasonably survive — intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, governing law, dispute resolution — do survive. Our retention of certain data after termination, including ban-evasion identifiers, is governed by the Privacy Policy §10.

You keep ownership of anything you write or create — your character's name and backstory, the messages you post in tickets, the appeal text you submit. By using the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to host, display, and store that content as needed to operate the community: showing your character profile to staff, surfacing your username on the leaderboard, keeping ticket transcripts for moderation purposes, displaying your mod history to other staff. The licence ends when we delete the content under §10 or your erasure request under Privacy §11.

Be aware that in-character data is visible to other players. Your character's name, phone number, plate, and address can be looked up in-game by other members. Do not use real personal information for your character — use a roleplay alias. We treat in-character data as personal data anyway, because at the end of the day it is connected to you.

The Tennessee Roleplay name, the TNRP wordmark, our SOPs, our website code, our bot code, our custom assets, and the general design and arrangement of the Service are ours (or licensed to us). You may reference us, link to us, and write about us. You may not copy, redistribute, or commercially exploit our materials without permission.

Roblox, Discord, ER:LC, “Police Roleplay Community”, “PRC”, and any associated marks are the property of their respective owners. Tennessee Roleplay is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Roblox Corporation, Discord Inc., or Police Roleplay Community. Where we use these names, we use them descriptively to identify the platforms our Service runs on.

Tennessee Roleplay sits on top of three platforms you have a separate relationship with: Discord, Roblox, and Police Roleplay Community. Their terms apply to you in parallel with these. We summarise the parts that are relevant to your use of our Service below; for the full text, follow the links.

If any of these platforms revokes or restricts your access (e.g. a Discord ban or a Roblox suspension), your access to our Service is restricted accordingly until the underlying access is restored. We cannot let you into Discord-only features without a working Discord account.

14.1 — “As is”

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without any warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, accurate, or fit for any particular purpose. We do not warrant the conduct of other members, of staff, or of users of the Platforms.

14.2 — Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Tennessee Roleplay or any individual member of its staff be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of in-game progress, characters, virtual balances, virtual holdings, goodwill, or data, arising out of or in connection with the Service.

Our aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to NOK 0 (zero Norwegian kroner). The Service is free; this limit reflects that.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it cannot lawfully be excluded or limited — including liability for intent, gross negligence, or personal injury under Norwegian law. Your statutory rights as a consumer, where they apply, are not affected.

14.3 — Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold Tennessee Roleplay and its staff harmless from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms or your violation of any law or third-party right while using the Service. We will tell you promptly if such a claim arises and let you take over the defence if you choose.

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or with your use of the Service, are governed by Norwegian law, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The agreed forum for non-consumer disputes is the Oslo District Court (Oslo tingrett).

For consumers, Norwegian and EU mandatory consumer law preserves your right to bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live, and to rely on the consumer-protection rules of that country. Nothing in this section overrides those rights.

Before going to court, please try to resolve the dispute with us directly — open a ticket or write to us per §18. We genuinely want to resolve issues without lawyers.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The version number and dates at the top of this page track changes. For material changes — anything affecting your rights, your obligations, or the data we handle — we will announce them in our Discord and pin a notice on the dashboard at least fourteen (14) days before they take effect.

If you continue to use the Service after the new version takes effect, you have accepted it. If you do not accept the new version, you can terminate per §10.

• Entire agreement. These Terms together with our Privacy Policy, our published rules, and any SOPs you accept on application, are the entire agreement between you and Tennessee Roleplay about the Service.
• Severability. If a court finds part of these Terms unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a part of these Terms in one case, that is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms to someone else. We may assign them to a successor project or entity that takes over operation of Tennessee Roleplay, on materially the same terms; we will tell you if we do.
• Language. If we publish a translated version of these Terms, the English version on this URL controls in case of conflict.
• Headings. Section numbers and titles are for navigation; they do not change the meaning of the clauses.

For anything about these Terms — questions, appeals, complaints, or notices of legal action — the primary path is through our Discord:

• Open a Support ticket by running /ticket in our community guild and choosing the appropriate category. Mark it clearly if it is a legal or formal notice.
• For ban appeals specifically, see §9.
• For data-protection and privacy matters, see Privacy §16.

We respond to formal notices within thirty (30) days. Service of legal process on a hobby community is unusual; if you are a lawyer reaching out on behalf of a user, please say so up front so we can route it correctly.
