# Rules & Guidelines
## Orders & Availability
**Message Before Ordering**
Please send me a message before placing an order so we can discuss availability, expectations, and the service you'd like. Orders placed without prior contact may be declined.
**Per Person Charging**
Services are charged **per person** in the call. Please purchase one unit per participant and disclose if anyone else will be joining.
**Respect My Time**
If I don't reply immediately, I'm likely busy or away from my computer. I always do my best to respond as soon as I'm available.

## Behavior & Respect
**SFW Only**
All of my services are strictly SFW. Any inappropriate, suggestive, or explicit behavior will result in the session ending immediately.
**Inappropriate Behavior**
Objectifying comments, persistent innuendos, or other inappropriate behavior will result in your session ending and may lead to a block and report.
**No Discrimination**
Racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, hate speech, or any other form of discrimination will not be tolerated.
**Toxic or Tilted Players**
Friendly banter is always welcome, but excessive hostility, harassment, disrespect, or toxic behavior may result in the session ending early.
**Social & Team Games**
Games like Valorant, Overwatch, and VRChat are social games. While my client is always my priority, I will still communicate and participate with teammates when appropriate. Becoming upset over normal in-game communication may result in being banned from future orders.
**No Guilt Tripping**
Attempting to make me feel guilty about my prices, having to leave for another order, or ending a session early is not acceptable. This includes dry begging and similar behavior. Doing so will result in being banned from future services.
**No Parasocial Conversations**
Please don't ask to become friends or hang out outside of ePal. If I ever offer my time free of charge, I'll state so directly. Otherwise, any time spent together is considered part of an order.

## Recording & Privacy
**Recording or Streaming**
You **must disclose** if you plan to record or stream our session. Recording requires an additional **+10 Buff**, and you must provide the YouTube channel where the content will be uploaded.
If I am taken out of context, misrepresented, or objectified in your content, I will report it.
**Face & Content Usage**
I am not comfortable with my face appearing on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, or any other social media platform without my explicit permission. Unauthorized uploads will result in a block and report.
---
## Payments & Refunds
**Please Respect My Pricing**
My prices reflect my time and the service I provide. If they're outside your budget, I completely understand, but please don't negotiate or criticize my rates.
**Refunds**
Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. If a session ends due to an issue on my end, I'll happily provide a refund whenever appropriate.
**Repeated Rule Violations**
Repeatedly ignoring or breaking these rules may result in your session ending without a refund and the loss of future ordering privileges.

## Final Notes
**I Reserve the Right to Decline**
I reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or end any service at any time if I feel uncomfortable or believe we're not a good fit.
**By Ordering**
By placing an order, you confirm that you've read and agree to these rules. Thank you for respecting my boundaries and helping create a comfortable experience for both of us.
♡ If you have any questions, feel free to message me before ordering.
