PROJECT ENTROPIA
CONDITIONS OF USE
2005-07-04
This Agreement ("Agreement") is made by and between MindArk PE AB ("MindArk") and the Participant ("Participant") who wishes to use Project Entropia. By accepting this Agreement, the Participant agrees to it in its entirety, effective immediately.
MindArk is the owner of a System ("System"), identified as Project Entropia.
In consideration of the promises set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Arrangement
This Agreement is a legal document that details your rights and obligations as a Project Entropia participant entitled to a participant account and to access and use certain of MindArk's services. You cannot become a Project Entropia participant until you have accepted the terms of this Agreement.
MindArk agrees to provide Project Entropia as is to the Participant, and the Participant agrees to accept Project Entropia, subject to the terms of this Agreement
This Agreement is your entire agreement with MindArk and governs your use of the System. There may be additional terms and conditions if you use affiliate systems, other MindArk systems or products, or third-party software and/or systems. To be a participant, you must be at least 18 years old. If you are not 18 years old but you are at least 13 years old, you may still partake, but only if your account was created and registered by your parent or guardian. This Agreement will be void and without effect, and you will not be entitled access to Project Entropia, if you do not satisfy the age requirement.
Participant agrees not to translate, modify, copy, printout, disassemble, de-compile or otherwise tamper with Project Entropia system, code, or any firmware, circuit board or software provided therewith. The Participant also agrees not to hack into or interfere with any data communication to or from the Project Entropia servers, clients, and systems, as well as not to use any other software than the Project Entropia client to interpret or influence data sent to or from the Project Entropia server and client systems. The participant also agrees upon not using any third party software or equipment that influences Project Entropia in any way. The participant agrees upon not tampering, removing (except complete uninstallation), adding, or changing the installed Project Entropia client software and its associated files in any way whatsoever.
2. Description
MindArk provides Project Entropia as a service, described as a virtual universe. Project Entropia is not a "game".
Upon completing the registration process, you will receive a password and account that is uniquely associated with your participation. All of your access to the system will be through that account, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. An account supplies access to MindArk's online virtual universe. In the virtual universe you will be able to interact with other participants and online constructs. Your interactions will be through an "Avatar", or virtual persona/alter-ego, and is regulated by the Rules of Conduct section below.
You agree to obey with the limits set on your account by your category of participation. You further agree to obey with the Rules of Conduct. Violation of the Rules of Conduct may result in termination of your account.
3. Privacy
MindArk gives access to a virtual universe to participants all over the world. A participant is able to interact with none, few or many of these participants. MindArk intends to keep the identity of each participant private to him or herself. A participant may choose to appear with his or her own name or use a nickname in the virtual universe.
MindArk registers participants for the necessity to transfer money between the real and the virtual world, between MindArk and the participant. MindArk will never divulge registered information to any outside party.
MindArk may monitor or register a participant’s behaviour and collect client system data if necessary to detect and counteract fraud, rules violation, and in order to balance the load on the system.
4. License
Participant acknowledges that he or she shall have only a limited, non-exclusive, license to use Project Entropia. Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she will not use Project Entropia for any purpose that is illegal (see "Governing Law"). Participant agrees that he or she will use Project Entropia carefully and will not use it in any way that might result in any loss of his or her or any third party's property or information. MindArk will not take any responsibility if this should occur.
5. Termination
MindArk may terminate this Agreement upon notice to Participant. Such termination may be made without reason, and may be for one or more or all Participants.
You can cancel your account by filing a request through the Project Entropia Support Section. MindArk reserves the right to collect fees, surcharges or costs incurred before you cancel your account. In addition, you are responsible for any charges incurred to third-party vendors or content providers prior to your cancellation.
In the event that your account is terminated or cancelled, no refund will be granted. Any delinquent or unresolved issues relating to former participation must be resolved before MindArk will permit you to have a new account. All provisions of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination of this Agreement do survive its termination, including, but not limited to, provisions on ownership, proprietary rights, warranty disclaimers and liability and remedy limitations.
6. Ownership and Transactions
The participant deposits funds in advance and have the right to withdraw funds on the avatar that are not spent.
Virtual items will often have names similar or identical to corresponding physical categories such as "people," "real estate," "possessions," and the names of specific items in those categories such as "house," "rifle," "tools," "armor," etc. Despite the similar names, all virtual items are part of the System and MindArk retains all rights, title, and interest in all parts including, but not limited to Avatars and Virtual items; these retained rights include, without limitation, patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other proprietary rights throughout the world.
As part of your interactions with the System, you may acquire, create, design, or modify Virtual items, but you agree that you will not gain any ownership interest whatsoever in any Virtual item, and you hereby assign to MindArk all of your rights, title and interest in any such Virtual item.
All and any trade with Virtual items, virtual funds, as well as real fund transactions, must be done through MindArk approved procedures. Any such transactions carried out using any non-approved procedure is a violation and can result in a lockdown of any involved account. If you are unsure if a certain transaction is approved or not, you must contact the Project Entropia support for confirmation.
7. MindArk's Warranties
MindArk represents and warrants that it has the requisite right and legal authority to grant the license and to provide Project Entropia. Project Entropia is not warranted by MindArk to be error or bug free. MindArk makes no other warranty, expressed or implied, with respect to Project Entropia.
