SAFE AND FAIR PLAY
To ensure our game is fair and fun for everyone, we do not tolerate cheating, indecent or fraudulent behavior.
Fraudulent service providers are often involved in illegal activity, hacking and scams; these activities hurt innocent people, in addition to being unfair to other players.
To help us create a great gaming environment, and to safeguard your account and device from abuse, please steer clear of the following dangers:
1. THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE
Third party software consists of unapproved apps that manipulate gameplay. By altering game functionality, third party software aims to provide unfair advantages while potentially putting players’ ccounts and privacy at risk.
Third party software includes:
Hacks, “mods”, or programs that unfairly alter game functionality
“Bots”, or gameplay automation services or scripts
Any other programs that aim to modify or provide unearned progress
2. BUYING & SELLING GAME ACCOUNTS
The Game prohibits the use of another User's Account (logins), sale, transfer, purchase of an Account (logins), including by exchange or donation. It is prohibited to post information, including information in voice and text chat, containing the intention to transfer, sell or purchase an Account (logins) to another User.
Sellers of Accounts (logins) advertise accounts, luring attractive and impossible promises to players who want to gain advantages in the Game.
The sale of Accounts is associated with the following risks:
- the seller can take the User's money and not transfer the account to the User;
- the User cannot be sure that the seller will not continue to use the Account;
- an Account can be sold to multiple people;
- the User does not know the status of such an Account — it may be permanently blocked;
- the Account will never be secure — the Operator does not provide support to owners of hacked accounts;
- if a User spends money on such an Account, in reality it will never belong to the User anyway.
3. INDECENT BEHAVIOR
In the Game, in voice and text chats, as well as in the official groups of the Game on social networks, the following actions are prohibited:
1.1. The use of profanity, veiled profanity, other obscene language, insulting other people.
1.2. Posting information aimed at distracting Users from the topic of conversation and the Game (flood).
1.3. The use of insults that sow discord on the basis of race, nationality, religion or gender.

CONSEQUENCES
Fraudulent and indecent behavior, cheating and any related commercial actions surrounding our game are strictly prohibited. In addition to the very real danger of a compromised account, participating in any of the above practices will lead to penalties such as temporary game suspension and even permanent closure of the game account, as well as blocking access to multiplayer services.
We cannot provide support for game accounts that have been involved in fraudulent behavior, or in cases where a fraudulent service provider has compromised an account.
Please keep your account safe by avoiding all of these issues. It really isn’t worth your time or money.
