Terms of Service

Last updated: 22 October 2025

Welcome to CypressRP ("we", "us", or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our GTA V roleplay community, including our website, forums, Discord server, and game servers (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

1. Acceptance of Terms

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent that you meet this age requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. We reserve the right to terminate or suspend access if you violate these Terms.

2. Roleplay Guidelines

CypressRP is a serious roleplay server. All interactions must remain in-character unless explicitly permitted. Key guidelines include:

  • Maintain immersion at all times. No out-of-character (OOC) chat in global channels unless for emergencies.
  • Respect other players' roleplay. Do not disrupt ongoing scenes without invitation.
  • Use voice modulation and appropriate accents to enhance immersion.
  • Failure to follow roleplay standards may result in warnings, temporary bans, or permanent removal.

3. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to engage in any of the following:

  • Cheating, hacking, or using third-party tools to gain unfair advantages.
  • Harassment, hate speech, or discrimination based on race, gender, religion, or other protected characteristics.
  • Exploiting bugs or glitches for personal gain.
  • Spamming, flooding, or disrupting servers, forums, or Discord channels.
  • Sharing personal information of others without consent (doxxing).
  • Impersonating staff, other players, or public figures.
  • Advertising external services or soliciting without permission.

We may monitor activity to enforce these rules and take action at our discretion.

4. Community Voting and Player-Driven Features

Our Services emphasise player-driven politics, roleplay, and development. Participation in votes, polls, and Town Hall sessions is encouraged but must adhere to fair play:

  • Votes must be cast in good faith. Vote manipulation or sockpuppeting will result in disqualification and bans.
  • Proposals for laws, features, or changes must promote positive community growth.
  • Outcomes of votes are final unless overturned by staff for legal or safety reasons.

5. Content Ownership and Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of your in-game creations, characters, and contributions to forums or Discord. However, by submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, modify, and display it for the Services' operation and promotion.

The Services incorporate elements from Grand Theft Auto V, owned by Rockstar Games. You agree not to infringe on their intellectual property or our trademarks.

6. User Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Notify us immediately of any unauthorised access. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts for violations.

7. Limitation of Liability

The Services are provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Services, including data loss or virtual property disputes.

8. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access at any time, with or without cause, including for policy violations. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases immediately.

9. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted here with the updated date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
