Doxapolis - by Skewlbuoy

It is very important that you review the following rules so that you know what you can and cannot do on Doxapolis.com. By using this site, you agree to abide by the following terms and conditions. Also, these rules will change from time to time and it is your responsibility to keep apprised of such changes. Basic Summary
Doxapolis is a social gaming portal community comprising people of varying ages and backgrounds. You are here as a guest and you should act accordingly and respect the other guests you meet. Here are some basic rules to follow:

1. Doxapolis Is A Game, Not A Way To Make Money.
As a guest you do not own the accounts, activities, items, Flos, characters, locations, games on the site; they are for you to play with while on the site. Except as permitted by the functionality of this site, you can't sell them (for money or Flos), give them to anyone, trade them for anything (including Flos), or pretend you made them. This means that you cannot try to make money off the Flos or virtual items in your account or even sell the time it took you to collect such items and flos. If we find someone selling Flos or items, we will freeze every account controlled by that user and every account of the user who purchased such Flos or items.

2. Using Doxapolis Material Off The Site.
You can display our pictures on your own personal web pages for your personal noncommercial use ONLY as long as you write "Copyright 2008 Doxapolis, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Used With Permission" or "(c) 2008 Doxapolis, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Used With Permission" on EVERY page with our pictures and/or text and you link directly to us. By the way, this means that you can't sell ads, barter for stuff, offer your services, or otherwise earn money, Doxapolis' Items, or Flos either on web pages that contain our pictures and other Materials, or by using our pictures or other Materials, such as by offering to make Doxapolis banners or backgrounds for others. If there is anything you are unsure of about this, please contact us using this form and we will do our best to give you a quick answer.

3. Play Safely.
This site is visited by many people around the world every month. Doxapolis has implemented many safeguards to make this a safe site. However, it is important that you play safely by not giving anyone personally identifiable information such as your e-mail address, physical address, school name, last name, photographs of yourself, instant messenger username or telephone number. Also make sure that you follow you family's rules for playing on the Internet. If you think anything is suspicious, make sure to report it here.

4. Other Users Also Enjoy This Site. Remember this is a community of players and all names, shop names, agreements, content on the message boards, mesages (except messages from "The Doxapolis Team"), messages (except Warnings!), and "Write to Doxapolis" come straight from other Doxapolis' users, not from someone at Doxapolis.com. If you see anything mean or nasty on the site, or anyone sends you anything that makes you uncomfortable or asks for your password or personal information (such as your name, address or phone number), please let us know immediately by using this form so that we can handle it right away! However, reporting false abuse or inappropriate feedback will not be tolerated and will likely result in the account making a false report being frozen.

5. Respect The Community.

Remember, people who play on Doxapolis are of all ages and backgrounds. Therefore, all user content and communications on the Doxapolis site is filtered and monitored. So that everyone has a good time, you understand and agree that you will not post or send through the site any words, images or links containing or relating to:

BEWARE: If you do any of the above we may suspend you from using your account for up to 72 hours or freeze your account permanently. Please note that depending on your account history and the type of infraction, you may be frozen or suspended for breaking the rules and that you WILL be frozen for multiple infractions. Also, you will not necessarily be warned prior to being frozen. This is your warning.

6. Cheating Is Bad.
If you use cheat programs on any Doxapolis games, including non-Doxapolis software or programs, we will freeze all of your accounts.

8. Your Creative Stuff.
If you write something that catches our eye on a message board, in an email or messages we might want to use it on the site or elsewhere when talking about the site. If you're under age 18, remember to ALWAYS check with your parents before you send anything to us or post anything on the site! By sending in your content and comments, you (and your parents) are agreeing that it's okay to repeat on the site and elsewhere what you say, and it's even all right for us to use it in an ad. So, this means we can use it in any way we want, anywhere, until the end of time.

9. Communications From Doxapolis.
You understand that, as part of playing on the Doxapolis.com site, you may receive e-mail from Doxapolis.com that lets you know when certain events happen with your rooms, etc. You also agree that occasionally Doxapolis.com can send you special offers that you are under no obligation to accept. You understand that you can opt-out of receiving such e-mail through the "My Preferences" page, or send us a message to delete your "snail mail" address at any time, but doing so may detract from your enjoyment of the site, as you will no longer receive e-mails (or "snail mails") from your rooms or the Doxapolis.com newsletters and announcements.

10. Scamming Is Very Bad.
Attempting to gain access to someone else's account and/or account information, or trying to get other people's passwords is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Your account (houses, shops, etc.) will be deleted and you will be permanently banned from the site.

11. You Are A Guest.
Remember, this is a free website and we reserve the right to prohibit the use of the site to any user at any time. Be a good guest.

12. Non-Use
Doxapolis reserves the right to permanently terminate any account for non-use including accounts with Flos items or other items or privileges that may have been licensed through the payment of money to us or our licensing partners. Currently, our policy is to terminate any account that has not been active for two years.

Remember - No member of Doxapolis staff will EVER ask you for your password! Please contact us using this form if anyone asks you for your password.
