1. Why do we have Fiction Ratings?
   Both online and offline publishers have a responsibility to convey an accurate maturity level of literary content to readers. Fiction Ratings is our way of simplifying this process.
2. Can I use Fiction Ratings?
   Fiction Rating guidelines and logos, in unverified forms, are available for free for non-profit organizations and individuals for personal use. All users of Fiction Ratings must adhere to our guidelines and terms of service.
3. Why do all the current Fiction Rating symbols contain the phrase "unverified"?
   FictionRatings.com provides a free rating system for qualified publishers. However for the free, "unverified" rating symbols, FictionRatings.com does not individually rate each content to validate the given rating. The "unverified" ratings are self-imposed by the respective parties. FictionRatings.com does not declare the authenticity of these claims and thus all free usage symbols come in only "unverified" form.
   
   FictionRatings.com does impose that free, "unverified", Fiction Rating users submit regular samples, every 3 months, to FictionRatings.com for verification of general rating compliance and competency according to established rating content guidelines.
