Welcome to Sniffies, a platform designed to help you connect, explore, and embrace the cruising experience. These guidelines outline the expectations for behavior and interactions within the Sniffies community and should be read alongside our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), which governs your use of the platform.

By using Sniffies, you agree to follow these guidelines and all applicable policies, including the AUP. Together, we can create a space where everyone feels comfortable, respected, and free to explore.

  1. Section 1. Minors Are Strictly Prohibited

      • Sniffies is strictly for individuals 18 years of age or older. Minors are not permitted to create accounts, access the platform, or participate in any activities on Sniffies.
      • Any attempt to create a profile as a minor, misrepresent age, or facilitate interaction with minors will result in immediate account termination and may be reported to authorities.

      • Consent is the foundation of all interactions on Sniffies. Always seek clear and enthusiastic consent for every activity, whether online or in person.
