Children's Code Compliance

In alignment with the Children’s code, we are committed to:

• Identifying players under the age of 18 with a reasonable degree of certainty.
• Ensuring that gameplay does not adversely affect children's health and well-being.
• Turning off behavioral profiling for marketing to children by default.
• Discouraging the use of "nudge techniques" that lead to poor privacy decisions by children.

Community Rules and Conduct

As part of our commitment to creating a safe and welcoming community, all users must adhere to the following rules:

• Respect all members, regardless of their skill level, origin, or background.
• Harassment, bullying, and discrimination are strictly prohibited.
• Do not engage in or promote cheating, hacking, or any form of unfair advantage.
• Keep discussions and content shared within the community and Discord channels appropriate for all ages.
• Violations of community rules may result in temporary suspensions or permanent bans.

Our Discord community follows the same principles of respect and fair play. We monitor the channels closely to ensure a positive environment for all members.

Account Suspension and Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account immediately if we find:

• A high bounce rate in your emails;
• A high percentage of spam complaints from your emails;

We will determine what constitutes "high" levels for bounce rates, spam complaints, and illegal communication with other users. If your account is suspended, you may be required to provide proof of valid legal ground for email messages/ communication. Failure to provide proof may result in permanent account termination, without refund.
