GAME RULES

You may only own up to three (3) game accounts. IP addresses are tracked, and you will have ALL your accounts closed - without warning - if you own more than three.

Shared accounts are strongly discouraged. If you share an account with another member, it is at your own risk. Equiverse will not do anything to retrieve stolen horses, money, or any other account feature, if the account is shared. A shared account also counts as one of the three accounts you are allowed.

You are strongly advised to be at least 13 years of age before joining. Anyone under the age of 13 should ask a parent before registering an account.

No potentially offensive content is allowed on this game. This includes, but is not limited to, pornographic, racist or sexist materials and political or otherwise controvertial discussion.

Everything on Equiverse is copyright to its original owner, unless otherwise stated. Content theft and plagiarism is not tolerated.

No items (including, not limited to, horses, art, image manipulations), accounts or money on EV are to be sold for "real" currency (USD, GBP etc). This includes creating artwork (and other) off-site but advertising for sale on-site, and advertising in-game items for sale (and other) off-site.

Any bugs that are discovered as a result of playing the game, or looking for bugs, should be reported immediately. If the bug could be exploited then it should be reported immediately to Abbey and not made publicly aware of.

There is to be no scripting in any programming language, or off-site scripts, in order to cheat on the game.

Any links to other websites found in the game either through advertisements or posted by members do not imply compliance of views and opinions or affiliation, and we will not be held responsible for any products or services obtained through these websites.

It is not always possible to fully control site content as some areas are available for users to post their own content, although EV promises to try to keep the game as child-friendly as possible. However, we will not be held responsible for any distress caused by member content on the site.

All site materials are copyright to Equiverse with exclusion of member-created content, including but not limited to: images, coding and text. This means that you are NOT permitted to use ANY Equiverse content for your personal use, to sell in-game or not in-game, or for any other reason. Doing this will result in an instant, permanent ban. All content posted by members must be suitable for all ages, and failure to comply with this will result in fining of account privileges (money, horses, upgrade days) and ultimately banning from the site. Members remain solely responsible for their own content which they post or display. EV moderators reserve the right to remove any content that is deemed unsuitable for an audience of all ages.

By signing up to the site, every user is given a set of privileges, including but not limited to: owning simulated horses, editing account information, interacting with other members via game messages and the forum, owning stables, the ability to create shows, and owning virtual money. These privileges may be reduced or taken away if a member does not adhere to the Terms and Conditions listed on this page.

EV cannot be held responsible for any server downtime, and reserves the right to close the game at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to: permanent game closure, bug fixes, and renovations.

Shared or partnered accounts are strongly discouraged in the game.

Accounts that have been banned, suspended or fined are not eligible for a refund as a ban, suspension or fine is due to violation of game rules and terms and conditions.
