Yes, you are allowed to exchange contact information.  

Terms Section 5. Q.

Unfortunately there is no way of searching for a username without logging into Chaturbate.  Plus the search feature ONLY looks for users that are publicly on cam.

This question has been asked to Support for a clarification of this.

But my understanding, tips are seen as gifts.  ‘Promising’ a performer that you’ll tip a certain amount of tokens for something in exchange from the performer can be deemed as against the rules.

But if a performer has a ‘tip menu’ or a app / bot running & a user sends tokens for a certain act, this would be classed as not against the terms as you are not ‘promising’ to send tokens in exchange for an act.

Once Support have answered the Question this answer will be updated.

EDIT

Support  have now answered with the following answer:

This will confirm that demanding anything in return for tips,
whether before or after tipping, is prohibited and may subject your
account to termination.  As stated in our terms, tipping is a voluntary
gratuity.  You should tip if you feel like it, don’t tip if you don’t
feel like it, and never expect anything in return for a tip.

Thanks,

Support

The reason that some App & Bot makers obfuscate their programming is due to others copying & pasting the code into another App / Bot without getting credit to where they have taken the coding from.

There are two ways of looking at the un-obfuscated code, one is to use a program or online tool to clean up the code to be partially readable.

The other way is to message the maker of the coding & ask them permission for the code or their help in programming a App / Bot with you.

You are allowed to add email address to profiles, but please take the precaution of either splitting the email up or having it included in an image.

For example:

support (at) chaturbate (dot) com

This is to protect your email address from bots from picking up your email address on your profile and you receiving spam / scams.

Its is also a good idea to have a different email address for public access & one which you use for your account.
