1. Account


1.1. Am I eligible to use the Services?

Only people ages 18 or older may create an account or use the Services. You may not create or use an account or use any of the Services on behalf of a legal entity or for a commercial purpose. By signing this agreement, you certify that you are 18 years or older.

1.2. I'm eligible! How can I create an account and play?

Playing the Game requires you to:

(a) read and accept the terms of this Agreement;
(b) register for an account;

These requirements may change as the Game evolves. You must pay for your own internet connection, equipment, servicing, and any repair costs necessary to access the Game.

1.3. Do I need to provide real information?

We require your email address as a unique login credential. We'll use this info according to our Privacy Policy.

1.4. Can I share or sell my account or login credentials? (No.)

When you create an account with us, we require you provide a valid email address and password (collectively, your "Login Credentials"), which you'll use each time you access the Game. You can't share your account or Login Credentials with anyone. You can't sell, transfer or allow any other person to access your account or Login Credentials, or offer to do so. You're entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Login Credentials. Please notify us immediately if you become aware of any breach of security, including any loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure of your Login Credentials.

2. Account Termination

2.1. How can my account be suspended or terminated?

Three different people/entities can suspend or terminate your account:

2.1.1. You. You may terminate or suspend your account at any time by contacting us at [email protected].

2.1.2. Us. We may terminate or suspend your account if we determine, in our sole discretion, that:
  • (a) you have violated any part of this Agreement;
  • (b) we have stopped offering the Services in your region; or
  • (c) doing so would be in the best interests of our community, the Services, or the rights of a third party.
We may make such determinations by using automated systems or by manual moderation.

2.1.3. During disciplinary actions such as banning an account, you may have the opportunity to appeal your case publicly or privately. Private investigation results are up to the discretion of staff. Public investigations are open to community interpretations, and community members may participate in the discussion of a disciplinary ruling. In any case, a ban can be implemented without a suspension period. All final account termination decisions are up to the sole discretion of Saph (stated previously in section 2.1.2 C).

2.2. What happens if my account is terminated?

If your account is terminated, you'll no longer have access to it, including any of the associated data or user generated content (e.g., written notes, descriptions, or other in-game creations). You'll not be entitled to any refunds and we'll have no liability to you. We also reserve the right to terminate any other accounts you may have created, as well as your access to any other Services (also without any refunds or liability to you).

You understand and agree that using the Services comes with the risk that your account may be terminated or suspended and that, whenever you use the Services, you'll bear this risk in mind and always conduct yourself appropriately.

4. Virtual Goods

4.1. Can I submit ideas for improving the Game to Saph?

We value your feedback on the Services, but please don't submit any creative ideas, suggestions or materials to us (collectively, "Unsolicited Ideas"). This policy is aimed at avoiding potential misunderstandings or disputes when the Services might seem similar to Unsolicited Ideas that people submit.

If you submit Unsolicited Ideas anyway, then you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicenseable, transferable, assignable, non-exclusive, and royalty-free right and license to use, reproduce, distribute, adapt, modify, translate, create derivative works of, publicly perform, publicly display, digitally perform, make, have made, sell, offer for sale, and import your Unsolicited Ideas, including all copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, industrial rights, and all other intellectual and proprietary rights related thereto, in any media now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, including giving the Unsolicited Ideas to others, without any compensation to you. To the extent necessary, you agree that you undertake to execute and deliver any and all documents and perform any and all actions necessary or desirable to ensure that the rights to use the Unsolicited Ideas granted to us as specified above are valid, effective, and enforceable. You also give up any claim that any use by us or our licensees of your Unsolicited Ideas violates any of your rights, including moral rights, privacy rights, rights to publicity, proprietary or other rights, and rights to credit for the material or ideas set for therein.

5. Code of Conduct

5.1. Can I troll, flame, threaten or harass people while using the Services? (No. If you do, you might get banned.)

While using the Services, you must comply with all laws, rules and regulations in the jurisdiction in which you reside. You must also comply with certain additional rules that govern your use of the Services (the "Code of Conduct"). The Code of Conduct is not meant to be exhaustive, and we reserve the right to modify it at any time, as well as take appropriate disciplinary measures including account termination and deletion to protect the integrity and spirit of the Services, regardless of whether a specific behavior is listed in the policy as inappropriate. In addition to the Code of Conduct, please review the Game Rules for additional guidance on exemplary gameplay behavior.

The following are examples of behavior that warrant disciplinary measures:

vii. Spamming chat, whether for personal or commercial purposes, by disrupting the flow of conversation with repeated, non-Game related, postings;

ix. Using any unauthorized third party programs, including mods, hacks, cheats, scripts, bots, trainers and automation programs that interact with the Software in any way, for any purpose, including any unauthorized third party programs that intercept, emulate, or redirect any communication between the Software and Saph and any unauthorized third party programs that collect information about the Game by reading areas of memory used by the Software to store information;

x. Accessing or attempting to access areas of the Game or Game servers that have not been made available to the public;

xi. Selecting a character name contains personally identifying information, or that is offensive, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable.

Saph may modify any name which, in the sole and exclusive judgement of Saph, violates this provision, without notification to you, and may take further disciplinary measures, including account termination for repeated violations;
