Vizwoz is a community of game players of varying ages and backgrounds. You are here as a guest and you should act accordingly and respect the other guests you meet. The following rules are in addition to our terms and conditions. It is very important that you (and your parents, if you're under 18) review these rules that set out the type of behaviour we expect from all users of, and visitors to, www.vizwoz.com.

We may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. You should check this page from time to time to ensure you are happy with any changes.

Your use of our website means that you accept, and agree to abide by, all the rules in this policy.

1. Vizwoz Is A Game, Not A Way To Make Money

   As a guest you do not own the accounts, activities, items, characters, locations and games on the website; they are for you to play with while on the website.

2. Using Vizwoz Artwork Off The Website

   You can display our pictures on your own personal web pages for your personal non-commercial use ONLY as long as you write "Copyright 2008 Vizwoz Limited. All Rights Reserved. Used With Permission" or "(c) 2008 Vizwoz Limited. 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, Vizwoz Items, or points 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 Vizwoz banners or backgrounds for others.

3. Play Safely

   This website is visited by people from around the world. Vizwoz has implemented many safeguards to make this a safe website. 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 to the Vizcop or by emailing VIZWOZ.

4. Other Users Also Enjoy This Website

   Remember this is a community of players and all Avatar names, shop names, guilds, content on the message boards, come straight from other Vizwoz users,] not from someone at Vizwoz. If you see anything mean or nasty on the website, 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 telling the Vizcop or by emailing VIZWOZ 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

   BEWARE: If you do any of the above we may suspend you from using your account or freeze your account permanently. Please note 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 Vizwoz games, including non-Vizwoz software or programs, we will freeze all of your accounts.

7. Your Creative Stuff.

   If you write something that catches our eye on a message board, in an email or [internal message/mail][DN: Is there an internal non-instant message system so messages can be left for others?], we might want to use it on the website or elsewhere when talking about the website. If you're under age 18, remember to ALWAYS check with your parents before you send anything to us or post anything on the website! By sending in your content and comments, you (and your parents) are agreeing that it's okay to repeat on the website 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.]

8. Communications From Vizwoz

   You understand that, as part of playing on the Vizwoz.com website, you may receive e-mail from Vizwoz.com that lets you know when certain events happen. You also agree that occasionally Vizwoz 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 website, as you will no longer receive the Vizwoz newsletters and announcements.

9. 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 will be deleted and you will be permanently banned from the website.

10. You Are A Guest

    Remember, this is a website for everyone and we reserve the right to prohibit the use of the website to any user at any time. Be a good guest.
