Terms of service

This is offered to you for free. All we ask of you is play by the rules and use your common sense about fair play in situations not described here.

Rules for banning

If someone breaks the terms of service, we have the right to suspend (ban) their account. We will usually send a warning to the player before banning, however in extreme cases or when we suspect someone has multiple accounts we can also directly ban one or more accounts. Having a paid (V.I.P.) account does not mean you can break the rules. Accounts with V.I.P. status can still be banned. No refund or compensation for lost playing time will be given if this happens.

If your account is banned you can contact the game admins. We might have accidentally banned you. If this is the case, please explain your situation and we will undo the ban. If you did indeed break the rules but it is your first offense and you show remorse, you can be unbanned after a cooling down period.

For privacy reason we never correspond about bans with other persons. If your account is banned, you have to contact us yourself. This also means that if you report a suspected cheater, you will therefore likely not hear what we have done with your complaint.

Cheating

You are not supposed to cheat, or try to cheat. The following things are considered cheating. Things not mentioned in this list are not by definition allowed. You are expected to use common sense and play fair, both by written rules and intent.

1. Having multiple accounts.
2. Having multiple players play on the same account.
3. Taking actions that are not in the interest of the team you are managing. Among other things this includes (1) intentionally letting a friend win against you, (2) making excessively high transfer bids to pass money to a friend or (3) intentionally ruining your own club.
4. Buying tickets to your own match when you're not logged in (You can do it when you are logged in), or ask a friend to buy them more than once for the same match.
5. Abusing bugs (report them instead).
6. Using a national team as a training tool for your own or your friends' players or intentionally losing matches with it.
7. Intentionally damaging someone elses player. For examply by loaning him and not letting him play or by intentionally not selecting him for a national team.
8. Manipulating the transfer market by making arrangements with other players. In particular, coordinated bidding to increase the transfer price of a player is not allowed.

Cheating is punishable by

1. Banning.
2. (Temporary) unverification of your account.
3. Removal as national manager and exclusion from national team elections.
4. Other measures deemed appropriate for the type of cheating.

Account ownership

User accounts are strictly tied to one person. As mentioned under cheating (1 and 2), it is not allowed for one person to have more than one account and not allowed for multiple people to share one account. It's also not allowed to create an account for someone else. Everyone who wants to play Rocking Soccer should create and manage their account themselves.

It is not allowed to log in to someone else's account, not even when someone is temporary unable to access the game. There is a babysit option for V.I.P. users under profile that allows another user to look after your account with limited access. This is the only way someone can look after someone else's account.

It is not allowed to transfer ownership of your team to someone else by giving that person access to your user account. Teams can only change ownership in the way described in the help.

It is not allowed to sell your team to someone else. If someone offers to buy their team, please report this user to one of the admins. If you decide to buy an account from someone else this is entirely at your own risk.

1. Help others when you can. Everyone was a new player once, be friendly to people with less experience than yourself.
