Participating in Volte is a privilege - not a right. COPPA stipulates that one must be at least 13 years of age to participate in Volte. One is allowed a single account & name in the game. Prior to receiving the welcome e-mail from Rebecca, one has two weeks to register on the forum to escape expulsion. Excluding the joining form, no recognition e-mail will be sent in response to submitted forms. All member-created websites pertaining to Volte must have a disclaimer on every page. This includes, but is not limited to, a statement regarding the ficticous nature of the content and a working link to Volte.
While it is perfectly acceptable that one uses pictures for their animals, written permission is unconditionally required from the photographer. Written credit is a courteous way to show appreciation to photographers. The penalty for copyright infringement is swift expulsion.

Animals
Horse owners are responsible for housing, feeding, equipping, and transporting their animals. Horses must receive a veterinary checkup annually; they must receive farrier attention bi-monthly. The Volte Humane Society has grounds to confiscate any animal at their discretion. Animals may be "warp aged" at anytime to an elder year - never younger.
Finances
Upon arriving in Volte, each player decides to start with between $0 and $200,000. You also receive two horse creation credits, which may be used at any time. After two weeks of gameplay, players earn two additional creation credits. Each player records their own creation credits in the Treasure Chest. The Bank records your finances for you.
Establishments
Any member may open a business or society at any time. Members must wait one month to apply for a stable of their own. Stable owners must purchase facilities from Volte Construction, Ltd. prior to applying for approval.

Breeding seasons are March-May and September-November. Animals must be at least four years old and have earned 1 point to breed. Foals inherit 10% of their parents collective points.
Mares carry their foals for one month and may only be bred once per breeding season. Further, the dam may not be shown during the pregnancy. Mares may only have one foal per birth year. For example, if one of her foals is registered as being born in 2005 - she cannot have another foal 'born' in that same year.
Racehorses - mares and stallions - may not be bred, excluding endurance horses. However, all endurance stallions are required to take 1 month off from competition after being bred.
