#5 @thibault Terms of Service, User Conduct, 1. "Cheating. This comes in various forms. Cheating is anything that gives you an unfair advantage over a human player, and includes opening books, computer engines, and having a friend help you. You may use these for training, or against Stockfish. This is to keep the game fair. A game of chess is you vs. them, not Rybka at 3000 rating vs. them."
At very least this should be changed, then. And something along the lines of what @CM Kingscrusher-YouTube is purposing should be implemented. Also, I think that if allowed, team players should still be restricted to an extent (perhaps to casual tournaments and games), to keep it fair to other players.

"2. Can I use an engine in casual games (or against stockfish/the puzzles/opening training)?
A: Yes. You may, however, let your opponent know you're using one. (...)"
Keyword "casual". Perhaps that should be added to ToS as well, if true.
The point is, a GM and IM duo is quite overwhelming, even if they are only "bouncing ideas".
