Re: EULA

If its not, it is now below copied from ingame:)

Perpetuum – User Agreement==

''Please read through the following carefully, it contains information that is important to the correct use of the game. We list your rights and options here, what you may or may not do while playing the game. Knowing and adhering to the following will help you have a good time in the Perpetuum Community.''

Thank you for your interest in our game (Perpetuum or the game in the following). Perpetuum is being developed by Avatar Creations and published by Gamestorm ltd. (AC in the following). On your end the game is represented as a Client program, which allows you to connect to the virtual world of Perpetuum. The client uses the Internet to connect to the game servers, so the reliability and quality of your Internet connection is an important factor in the reliability of the game.

The game client and the game server (the game system) is the intellectual property of AC and is protected by copyright law.

This user agreement contains the terms and conditions of installing, subscribing to and using the game. The user agreement may be updated on the official website of the game (www.perpetuum-online.com) at any time. On their first connection and after any update to the user agreement, players are required to sign the agreement by clicking on accept in the client program. By clicking accept you agree to adhere to the terms and conditions set in this user agreement.

===Logging in and Your account===

'''Taking part in the game'''

If you download the client, create an account and subscribe to the game for a time period by redeeming a time-code on your account, you are entitled to play the game during that time period. Buying a boxed subscription (including a time-code) of the game grants you the same rights. During your time in the game you are required to comply with the terms and conditions of this user agreement.

'''Creating accounts and characters'''

Accounts may only be created by natural persons for their own or for someone else’s use in case it is created by a person's legal guardian. The creator of the account is responsible for adhering to the rules concerning subscriptions. During the account creation process you will be asked to validate an email address and pick a new password. On the first login you will be asked to create a new user character. Choosing a good name for your character is important as you won’t be able to change it again during the game. Your character will be known by this name in the game, and your actions under this name will be what other players are going to judge you by. This is why you will not be able to change the name to escape consequences of your actions in-game. When picking a character name make sure it’s not offending in nature in any way. Creating characters with offending names is strictly forbidden, and AC under its own discretion may change or require you to change the name of your character in this case. During gameplay players will be interacting with each other in various ways, and thus it’s unavoidable that some players use strong language, thus players under the age of 14 need the consent of a parent to play the game.

'''Subscription and deleting an account'''

The user of the game requires an active subscription. On purchase players receive codes, each of which can be redeemed on a single account one time. You can look at the pricing system on the official website.

Accounts which don’t have an active subscription aren’t deleted and can be reactivated by redeeming a purchased time-code on them. Inactive accounts retain all of the gameplay information, statistics and in-game status on the account.

Deleting an account may happen on the request of either you or AC. You can at any time choose to delete your account without any reason. If you don’t adhere to the terms and conditions or the “rules of conduct”, AC under its own discretion may either suspend your account for a given timeframe, delete your account, or block your access to the game by blocking accounts that use the same IP addresses or can in any other way be proven to be yours.

In the case that AC decides to suspend or completely terminate Perpetuum, your account will be deleted and you are not entitled to any compensation. In this case AC is required to notify you at least 30 days ahead in writing on the e-mail address you used to create your account.

What is strictly forbidden:

In order to make sure that the player community isn’t disturbed by the actions of a few, AC forbids the following activities to the players:

* It is forbidden to use any kind of third party application or tool that interfaces with, mimics or interferes with any part of the game system in any way, including the use of macros, control scripts, bots, system time manipulation tools, memory access tools or reverse engineering tools;
* It is forbidden to use any trick, hack or exploit that allows the player to gain ingame currency, or anything that an ingame monetary value can be assigned to, or any kind of unfair advantage over the other players.
* It is forbidden to evade accepting this user agreement prior to playing the game, or to go around the login process in any way to give an unauthorized player access to the game;
* It is forbidden to share account details with anyone, trade or sell Perpetuum accounts, in-game items, characters, money, etc in any way outside the game. In this case both the seller's and the buyer's characters and accounts may be terminated by AC.
* Accounts can only be used by the creator of the account, unless the user required a legal guardian to create it. Account sharing can result in the termination of said account.

===Privacy policy / communication===

In order to ensure the fairness of the game, AC reserves the right to monitor the processes going on in the game. Therefore we’d like to point out to the players that in-game communication is not private, nor protected by privacy law, and they shouldn’t give out personal information in-game.

The information you provided during the registration process is protected by the highest technical standard at our disposal, however even so AC cannot guarantee 100% security of this data. The staff of AC takes every reasonable precaution to protect your information, but in the case of this information leaking out AC will not take financial responsibility.

AC adheres to the privacy policies set by the EU to their fullest.

We inform you that AC may use the collected information (including in-game and registration information) for statistical purposes. (The biggest cause of this is to make the game better for you) These statistics may be released to the public.

===Entitlement of use===

With this user agreement AC grants you limited, non exclusive, revocable rights (while adhering to the terms and conditions in this agreement) to use the client program and to connect with the client program to the Perpetuum game servers. These rights do not include the copying, modification, reverse engineering, disassembly, decompiling or publication of any part of the game system. Reverse engineering or otherwise trying to learn the inner workings of the game system (including the packets sent between server and client) is strictly forbidden and any such attempt will be punished by AC. We inform you that if any kind of information you upload into the system contains harmful content (virus, trojan etc), apart from disabling your account AC may also take other action as it sees fit.

Every part of the game system, including your account, characters, the items and virtual currency in the game, etc is property of AC, for parts which you only have usage rights.

===No Warranty and Limitation of liability===

The game system and all of is components are provided to you “AS IS”, without any warranty - this means AC cannot guarantee the perfect and problem free function of the game. AC will do everything in its power to fix all errors and issues in the game, we intend to provide you with a game that you enjoy.

The game works only if both the game server and your Internet connection work perfectly, and thus the error in any of these may prohibit you to connect to the game. We’re constantly monitoring the system for these kinds of problems, however we cannot guarantee 100% access to the game at all times. The Internet connection of the player is the responsibility of the player and AC cannot reimburse any losses from the failure of the players connection to the game server. 

AC’s liability concerning any issues that arise from the use of the game shall not exceed the monthly fee of the game.

Scheduled downtimes of the game will be reported ahead of time on the login screen in the game.

Any legal arguments in connection with this user agreement shall be governed by Hungarian law, in front of the “Budai Központi Kerületi Bíróság” in Budapest, Hungary.

Please send any questions or problems about this user agreement to support@perpetuum-online.com

IMPORTANT!

The “code of conduct” is also part of this user agreement, please also read that carefully.

RIP PERPETUUM

Bump! Because I think the EULA needs to be some place on the Perpetuum Website.

I can name three or more times that it has been. So, yes it is enforced.

(Insurance, Styx, Account sharing, and a couple others I shall not mention.)

Re: EULA

Do tell Gremrod!

And try and do a Google of what the EULA really is and how it's in-forced.  You will find out in most cases its more of a "guide" that the originator can change, but you have to re "I Agree" however.

Basically make it legal or start banning people is what usually happens.

Myself personally I'm quite fond of the "immortal soul" clause.

Irony Overload detected.

I wish they'd start enforcing it and banning people for repetitive troll posting but meh ...

Any Idiot knows the EULA is there for the Devs to use as needed to enforce the general rules of the game or when blatant exploits occur. No Dev wants to sit there and monitor every single literal minor infraction and punish for it, they would rather the players understand the spirit of the game and play along, play the game as intended, and not jump up and scream and cry about EULA this or EULA that when the real reason is the game simply is not going well for them.  Devs have better things to do like improve the gamecode and features.

Re: EULA

also dont forget the code of conduct!


Perpetuum - Code of conduct==

As Perpetuum is an unusual game, this code of conduct is a bit unusual too, it's more of a behaviour-codex, adhering to which will make you have a better time while playing the game, and helps keep others from ruining your fun.

This ruleset is the code of conduct for the sci-fi MMORPG Perpettum developed by Avatar Creations (Budapest, Hungary), and is an amendment to the User Agreement.

'''1. We ask that you respect your fellow players and the Perpetuum staff by always talking to them in a calm manner, and don't let your words or actions dictated by emotions.'''
* It is forbidden to insult or bad-mouth other players, the Game Masters or the Developers, or to impede their work or fun willingly in any way.
* It is forbidden to falsely or baselessly accuse anyone of anything.
* Sexist, racist, obscene talk and hate-speech is strictly forbidden.

'''2. Conflicts between players are the spice of the game world in Perpetuum, this however doesn't entitle anyone to be impolite to others.'''
* We ask that you adhere to the instructions of the Perpetuum staff to the letter.
* We ask that you never use the in-game communication channels for advertising purposes.
* It is forbidden to publicize quotes from in the game or the forums - keep in mind that the information communicated there may not have been intended to be public..
* It is forbidden to publicize the personal information of any player or member of the Perpetuum staff, be it outside or inside the game.

'''3. The business operated by the financial income from the subscriptions is the property of Avatar Creations.'''
* Don't try to recreate any part of the system, including the server - if someone else does, don't log in to such an emulated server.
* Tools and utilities created for the game can only be made public with the permission of Avatar Creations.
* It is forbidden to use any third party software or tool that affects, mimics or disrupts the orignal game mechanics.
* Any kind of activities that disturbs or annoys the other players or the Perpetuum staff in the use of the game or the website is forbidden.

'''4.  We ask that you supply your real information when registering to Perpetuum as this is how we can identify and stay in contact with you.'''

We're aware of instances where child labour has been used in similar games to create ingame goods that were later sold - this practice goes against every vision of what Avatar Creations has for the game, we take every action to prohibit such practices. In order to prohibit similar things Avatar Creations might need to personally get in contact with you so we ask that you supply a valid phone number when registering to the game.'''

'''5. The game - like any software - may contain errors and bugs. Correcting these issues and further developing the game is the most important duty of Avatar Creations.'''
* It is strictly forbidden to use any errors or bugs in the game system to gain any kind of advantage in or outside the game.
* Problems, bugs or exploits must be reported at once on the forums appointed for this end on the website.

'''6. Offensive names'''
* It is strictly forbidden to create any in-game entity with names that may be offensive to other players or the Perpetuum staff.'''
* In the case of such violation Avatar Creations may at its sole discretion change the offending name.

WE ASK THAT YOU ALWAYS ADHERE TO THE ABOVE RULES!

Avatar Creations reserves the right to at its sole discretion punish players who violate this code of conduct, based on the severity of the violation. Punishments include temporary in-game muting, the confiscation of unrightfully obtained account information, temporary account suspension or even permanent ban from the game. By accepting the user agreement you also accept this amendment. If AC decides to punish a player for violation of either the user agreement or this code of conduct, the player is not eligible for any kind of reimbursement even if the account(s) in question still have active subscriptions.
