Terms of Service and Licensing Agreement


Terms

Please read this license before agreeing to its terms and thereby gaining access as a Player to Nexon and Nexon Inc.'s online game, "Dark Ages". Nexon grants to you a limited, non-exclusive license to use Dark Ages pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

Conduct
In short you, the Player, are a member of a virtual community. Respect the other members of this virtual community as much as you would those of a physical community. Respect others as you respect yourself. Player may not engage in any conduct or communication while using Dark Ages that restricts or inhibits any other Player from using or enjoying Dark Ages. Nexon reserves the right to terminate Player's membership if it determines, in its sole discretion, that Player has engaged in unacceptable conduct. Nexon reserves the right, but not the responsibility, to restrict conduct which Nexon deems, in its sole discretion, to be harmful to individual members, damaging to Dark Ages, or in violation of Nexon's or any third party's rights. Nexon may prohibit or delete conduct, communication or content transmitted on Nexon services that is deemed to be in violation of applicable laws or is harmful to other members, the Nexon service community or the rights of Nexon in general. Player acknowledges, however, that communication over Dark Ages often occurs in real-time and Nexon cannot, and does not intend to, screen communication in advance.
