Terms of Service

Last Updated on October 12th 2010

These Terms of Service, hereafter known as "TOS", are subject to be changed at anytime at the sole discretion of CrippleWars.

Any major changes within the TOS will be announced in the game's announcements. It is your responsibility to be aware of the TOS, agree to the TOS, and follow the TOS at all times. Failure to do so may result in account suspension, deletion, or other lack of privileges.

The TOS applies to both non-donator players and donator players. Those who have donator accounts and have been deleted or suspended will not be refunded.

I) Connectivity - CrippleWars does not guarantee connectivity to CrippleWars. The network center where CrippleWars is located does not guarantee 24/7 uptime, hardware stability, or software stability. If any issues arise, we will be on the case within 24 hours.

II) Accounts - All accounts, memberships, etc. are property of CrippleWars. Failure to recongnize the proper owner of your account will result in account suspension and/or deletion. You acknowledge that CrippleWars.com may establish limits concerning use of the Service and may modify these limits at any time.
A) Selling Accounts - You do not have the right to sell your account to anyone including third parties. 
B) Account Limitation - You may only have one account. If you have multiple accounts you will have all of your accounts deleted and your IP banned from accessing CrippleWars.com. 
C) Family Accounts - Anyone using his or her account on your computer is considered a "Family Account". You may not trade, sell, or purchase any game items or game currency for one another. You may not sell or purchase any game items or game currency from one another and you may not give any game items or game currency to one another. This rule specifically applies to the Family Account.

III) You agree to indemnify and hold CrippleWars operating as CrippleWars.com, and its affiliates, officers, agents, or other partners, and employees, harmless from any alleged claim or demand, including reasonable attorney fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your Content, your use of the Service, your connection to the Service, your violation of the TOS, or your violation of any rights of another, whether you are a registered user or not. The user is solely responsible for his or her actions when playing CrippleWars, including, but not limited to, costs incurred for Internet access.

IV) CrippleWars operating as CrippleWars.com reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice at any time. You agree that CrippleWars.com shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

V) Censorship/Decency - This game was not intended for persons under the age under 13. CrippleWars puts forth their best effort in censoring member messages to help establish a more mature audience. CrippleWars cannot guarantee that all vulgar words will be blocked. Using an excessive amount of vulgar words may result in account suspension or deletion.

VI) Donations - All donations to CrippleWars are non-refundable. You agree that the service given by CrippleWars is satisfactory. Once a payment has been completed the process is final. All currency is donated to CrippleWars in USD. 
A) Credit Card Revokes, etc. - If your card has been revoked/charged back and is tied to your account, your account will be suspended until you pay a $50.00 USD fee per chargeback/revoke. Failure to do so will have your account (and other accounts that are tied to your computer) suspended.

VII) Bugs, Exploits, etc. - All bugs, exploits, etc. must be reported to the game either by the appropriate message forum or reported to the owner of CrippleWars or his designee. Failure to report any bugs, exploits, etc. will result in account deletion and/or suspension along with your IP address being banned from accessing CrippleWars.

VIII) E-Mail - You agree that CrippleWars will be able to send you any newsletters or any messages to your e-mail address that you have provided us. As our privacy policy states, we will not give your e-mail address to any 3rd party programs. We will also never send spam messages to your e-mail address.

IX) Addendum - Other sections of the game (ie: Message Boards) may have their own rules. These rules do not override or replace these Official game TOS, rather, they are an addition to the TOS. Violations against rules for Message Board use or covering any other aspects of CrippleWars.com are against the TOS and your account will be suspended, deleted, etc. It is your responsibility to know the game rules and to keep up with the new additions to these rules. You will be notified of changes in the Announcements which are posted regularly and accessible to every player.
