Terms of Service

NewLifeGames.net Forums “Tos” Terms of Service.

Acceptance of Terms

NewLifeGames.net provides message board services to you, the visitor, based on its Terms of Service outlined here. When using the forums provided by NewLifeGames.net you are subject to these posted terms. Usage of the services on this site means acceptance of these terms. The TOS may be changed and without direct notice to individual visitors, so it is recommended that you check back with this page if you have questions or concerns.

Account Responsibility

Users are solely responsible for protecting their accounts from access by others. You are strongly encouraged to select a hard-to-guess password and not reuse that password on any other sites where it may be read by the owners or administrators of that site.

While it is acceptable for users to maintain multiple accounts on NewLifeGames.net NewLifeGames.net can and does track multiple shared accounts from a single or multiple computers as one account in terms of TOS violations. If the TOS is violated severely enough to warrant banning one account, all known accounts shared between a single or multiple users who use the same computer may also be banned for the actions of the violating account at the administrators' discretion.

Because of this rule, it is recommended that board users do not share their accounts with others, nor share their computers used to access the site with others, as the actions of some other person could easily directly impact all known shared message board accounts

However, in cases of certain severe or repeated TOS violations or illegal activities, we reserve the right to send any known information about you and your accounts to your ISP (including libraries, schools, and places of employment), e-mail service provider, your ISP account owner (if someone else is paying for it), and any parties whose copyright has clearly been infringed by your actions on the boards.
