To make the most of your Hawaii Penpals experience, please read these Guidelines carefully and act accordingly.In the interest of making Hawaii Penpals a fun way to connect with other people, we ask that everyone follow a few key rules, including:
- Hawaii Penpals provides a forum to interact with people in cyberspace. Under no circumstances should you physically meet anyone through this service.
- You must be 18 years old or older to use Hawaii Penpals. Do not post profiles that seek out or advertise users who are younger than 18.
