Just as there is access to adult materials at convenience stores, shopping malls or via mail order, adult materials can be obtained electronically. Such may include adult oriented message areas, text files containing adult stories and files containing adult pictures. IMPORTANT: *** TCE! does NOT actively seek, collect and/or store files of *** adult nature. However, as a result of being linked to various *** networks, it is possible that these types of materials can be *** requested and 'passed through' TCE! to the USER. TCE! tries to *** provide family oriented services, but we cannot be responsible *** for everything that passes through the system. TCE! does, however, support freedom of speech. To that end, some message bases offered here will be adult in nature. That can be as simple as a general message base with no specific restrictions on foul language or as complex as sexually explicit storytelling. Access to the adult areas of TCE! is available only to callers who are: 1. 18 years of age or older, 2. Have completed this form and returned it to TCE!, 3.
