Terms of Service
Click to Display the Terms of Service TERMS OF USE FOR SWCOMBINE(TM) THIS AGREEMENT DESCRIBES THE TERMS UNDER WHICH SWCOMBINE (COLLECTIVELY, "SWC") OFFERS YOU ACCESS TO AN ACCOUNT (THE "ACCOUNT") AND THE SERVICE TO ALLOW YOU TO PLAY THE SWCOMBINE ONLINE FANTASY ROLE PLAYING SIMULATION (THE "GAME"). BY CLICKING THE "I ACCEPT" BUTTON, YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW. BY CLICKING THE "DECLINE" BUTTON, YOU DECLINE OUR OFFER, IN WHICH CASE YOU MUST NOT REGISTER OR USE THE GAME. 1. Accounts are available only to adults or, at their discretion, their minor child of at least thirteen years of age (for the purposes of this Agreement, a "minor child" is a person of at least thirteen years of age who has not reached the age of majority under the law of the jurisdiction in which he or she resides). If you are a minor child, your parent or guardian must complete the registration process, in which case he or she takes full responsibility for all obligations under this Agreement. By clicking the "I Accept" button, you represent that you are an adult and are accepting this Agreement either on behalf of yourself or your minor child. You may not transfer or share your Account with anyone, except that if you are a parent or guardian, you may permit one minor child to use the Account instead of you (in which case you may not use that Account). You are liable for all activities conducted through the Account, and parents or guardians are liable for the activities of their minor child. Corporations and other entities are not eligible to procure Accounts. 2. To play the Game, you must: (i) have a fully registered Account; (ii) have a valid browser; and (iii) have an Internet connection (which we do not provide or pay for) to access your Account. You are responsible for all hardware, software, service and other costs you incur to access your Account. We may update or otherwise enhance the Game and/or the Software at any time, and downtime may occur during such periods. You understand that online games evolve over time and, accordingly, system requirements to play the Game may change over time. 3. We may amend this Agreement at any time at our sole discretion. Amendments to this Agreement or to Game rules will be communicated via the Sim News. Such amendments shall be effective at the time you access your Account or play the Game after we make the notification publicly available. 4. In the Character Creation process, you will be required to choose a name for your Character ("Handle"). While you are strongly encouraged to use a pseudonym rather than your real name, especially if you are a minor child, you may not choose a Handle that is also the name of a character or entity from another universe or from real life. Your chosen Handle must sound like a name and may not be a phrase or obscenity in any language. You may not disclose your password to any third party. We will never ask you for your password by email, and you should not disclose it via email if someone asks you to do so. Sharing your Account will result in the ban of your Account and any other Accounts involved. Although we may offer a feature that allows you to "save" or "remember" your password on your hard drive, please note that third parties may be able to access your computer and thus your Account. We are not responsible for the security of your personal computer or Internet-capable device and cannot guarantee that you will retain access to your Account if it is accessed by another party. 5. SWC is free of charge and you will never be billed. You may choose to make voluntary donations to the Game at any time. If you choose to terminate your Account, simply stop logging in. Level 1 accounts are automatically deleted after nine months of inactivity. Higher level accounts are not deleted and you will be able to return to it in the future if you choose. 6. We may terminate this Agreement and/or suspend your Account immediately and without notice: (i) if you violate any provision of this Agreement; (ii) if you infringe any third party intellectual property rights; (iii) if we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us; (iv) if you violate any of the SWC rules detailed on the Rules pages of the website (which we will amend or supplement from time to time, at our discretion), or (v) if you engage in game play, chat or any player activity whatsoever which we, at our discretion, determine is inappropriate and/or in violation of the spirit of the Game. If we terminate this Agreement or suspend your Account under these circumstances, you will lose access to your Account for the duration of the suspension, which may be permanent. We may also terminate this Agreement if we decide, at our sole discretion, to discontinue offering the Game. 7. You may not use any third party software, automated macros, or similar modications to automate or change game play, or knowingly attempt to play in such a way that it contradicts the posted rules. You may not decrypt or modify any data transmitted between client and server; you may not use or distribute macros or other programs which would allow unattended game play. You may not take any action which imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load (as determined by us) on our infrastructure. You may not buy, sell or auction (or host or facilitate the ability to allow others to buy, sell or auction) any Account or any Game characters, items, credits, entities, or copyrighted material or any other intellectual property owned or controlled by us or our licensors. 8. As part of your Account, you can upload content to our servers in various forms, such as in the selections you make for the Game, avatars, in-game posts and chat, and in chat rooms and similar user-to-user areas (collectively, your "Content"). If we, or our licensors, can reasonably construe that your Content contains any material that infringes any of our respective or collective intellectual property interests (hereafter, such Content shall be referred to as "Derivative Content"), you hereby acknowledge and agree that any such Derivative Content is owned by our licensors or us. For any of your Content that is not a Derivative Content, you hereby acknowledge that we have the right to remove or limit your Content if we deem it inappropriate. Your Content shall not: (i) infringe any third party intellectual property, other proprietary or publicity/privacy rights; (ii) violate any law or regulation; (iii) be defamatory, obscene, child pornographic or harmful to minors; (iv) contain any viruses, trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or other routines or components that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, decrypt, intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information, or (v) violate any SWC rules. 9. We cannot ensure that your private communications and other personally identifiable information will not be disclosed to third parties where demanded by law. For example, we may be forced to disclose information to the government under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Additionally, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to private entities, law enforcement or other government officials as we, at our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries. For persons in European Union countries, terms such as "personal information" refer to "personal data" as defined by the Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (the "Directive").
