We’re working to revise our terms of service and wanted to know whether there is anything in the default ToS that is _required_ from Discourse or we’re free to modify this as we see fit.

If you have any specific questions about how the hosting is provided that you need answered to write the ToS, send a message to `@support` or [support@discourse.org](mailto:support@discourse.org) !
