TERMS OF USE.

Ideally this site is meant to be all about Ovation guitars, and the people who play them.  As the largest source on the Internet for all things Ovation we encourage everyone to stay on topic within reason.  We are after all musicians, and many of us own more than one brand.  So while we are lenient with moderation, please keep all conversations at least related to Guitars and Music, especially Ovation guitars and music.  Besides the below generic legal babble we at the Ovation FanClub community have really only one rule, BE KIND TO EACH OTHER. It may sound corny, but we have a large community of great folks who do not sit around flaming each other all day, but rather just love to talk about guitars and music, especially Ovation guitars and music.

Use of and/or participation on any portion of this website is considered acknowledgment and agreement to comply with the terms and rules outlined below.
