Questions or Additional Information

If you have questions regarding this Agreement or wish to obtain additional information, please send an e-mail to David@MUGAGamingLLC.com This Terms of Service was last modified on August 10, 2017.

Account Suspension/Deletion

Your account may be suspended, modified or deleted at any time for any reason, with or without notice to you. In the event of suspension, modification or deletion of your account, you will not be entitled to a refund of any prior amounts that have been paid by you to purchase credits for your account. For purposes of explanation and not limitation, most account suspensions/deletions are the result of violations of the Code of Conduct.

Inactive Account

If, upon logging in to your account, you receive a message stating that your account is "Inactive" it is possible that your account was rendered inactive due to a violation of the games rules.

If you believe you did not break these rules here is what you can do.

Please be aware, and I'm looking at you monarchs here, we cannot discuss another players account. This means if you email us asking why a kingdom mate was deleted we will not be able to tell you. We will release details only to the account owner.

Now that is out of the way here are the steps you can take.

Send a POLITE email to utopiasupport@utopia-game.com from the email associated with your master account. Include your username or your Support ID. Explain why you think you might have been deleted, the more detail you provide the better. If it is found that you were deleted in error your account will be restored, along with your province.

Be aware though that ignorance of the rules is not an excuse we can accept, nor are we able to contact people via mail before we take action - it is simply not feasible.

These actions are taken for the good of the game. While we understand you may be angry we will not put up with swearing, insults, threats and the like so, for your own sake, please keep the language civil.

Finally, if you do not get your account reinstated that does not mean you are banned forever from the game (not unless its an IP ban, which is rare unless you use a proxy). You are free to make a new account but you should probably email us to confirm it wont be deleted automatically.

Code of Conduct

Your Account

You may create only one account in the Utopia gaming environment. You may maintain only your own account: under no circumstances should your account be accessed by anyone other than you. In the event that a third party is deemed to be accessing your account, both you and the third party will be considered in violation of the Code of Conduct.

Persistent creation and deletion of accounts is not allowed under any circumstances.

Should your account be suspended, the creation of a new account will be considered a breach of the Code of Conduct.

Internet Proxies and Anonymizers

If you access the site via a proxy server, anonymizing network or any anonymizing software, you will be considered to be in violation of the Code of Conduct.

Exceptions may be made at the sole discretion of the operators of the game, and may be revoked at any time without notice.

Spirit of the Rules

Players attempting to manipulate rules and quirks of the game in ways obviously not intended may be subject to deletion. Because of their nature, these types of circumstances are considered on a case-by-case basis. Users should avoid actions they believe are against the spirit and intent of the game.

Fair & Honorable Play

The operators of the game aim to maintain the highest standards of ethics within the game. Any instance of inappropriate language, manipulation of bugs, or acts of deception/fraud can result in immediate removal from the game. We rely on our users to help us enforce these rules and provide an enjoyable gaming environment for users of all ages and backgrounds.

Language & Attitude

Utopia is played by people of all ages and backgrounds. You are expected to treat others with respect and use only appropriate language in any contact with other players. In particular:

• you may not use language that is vulgar or that is otherwise offensive, defamatory, obscene, hateful or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable
• you may not post any content that is subject to the rights of any other person or entity
• you may not post any content that is related to drugs, sex or any criminal activity
• you may not post any content including any personally identifiable information about another player or yourself

You are encouraged to report any violation of these rules. Violators will be considered in breach of the Code of Conduct, and subject to suspension or deletion.

Kingdom Flags and other Images

Various game features permit players to upload images to the website, which are visible to other players in the game. As such, these images are subject to the Language & Attitude rules defined above. In addition, you are forbidden from uploading any images that are pornographic in nature.

Province, Leader and Kingdom Names

Players may select names for their province, leader and kingdom, which are visible to other players in the game. As such, these names are subject to the Language & Attitude rules defined above. In addition, the following rules apply:

• Names may not contain gibberish (for example, “asdqwe”, “lkjlkjlkj”, “542341224” etc)
• Names may not be designed to be confusingly similar to other names in the game. For example, it is forbidden for the provinces of a kingdom to select names that are deliberately difficult to distinguish from each other.
• Names may not be designed to be confusing with respect to the normal text of the game. For example, it is forbidden to set a kingdom name that reads like an error message to a novice player.
• Names may not be designed to impersonate another player or member of the game.

Changes to this Agreement and the Game

We reserve the right to modify this Agreement and any aspect of the Game, with or without prior notice. Your continued use of the Game following any revision to this Agreement constitutes your complete and irrevocable acceptance of any and all such changes.

The purpose of this privacy policy (this “Policy”) is to provide you with a description of the types of information we collect about you when you visit the Company web site located at www.utopia-game.com and associated sub-domains (the “Site”) or use the products, applications or services we provide through the Site (the “Services”), and how we use that information.
