All visitors and users (whether players or games masters) agree to the following terms and conditions, as a condition of using this site and the gaming system.  Any questions or comments about these terms and conditions should be sent to admin@rebornthegame.com.

Copyright and creative rights

Please refer to the Copyright page for a general statement about copyright and the text, media, coding and other material on this web site.

For the purposes of these conditions, RIC is considered to be both a written publication (hence full copyright is applicable) and also a computer game (so the design, algorithms, text and code found within this site is also subject to copyright).

To further clarify:

1. All unique concepts and 'performances' contained within, all text contained within and everything associated with RIC is solely copyright to Gary Allen.
2. All posts and other contributions to RIC (including posts and other contributions by players and games masters) are covered by the copyright for this site.  Consequently, creative and all other rights reside with RIC.
3. Users and other visitors are not allowed to reprint or distribute any text, media or other material contained within RIC without the prior written permission of the copyright holder.

Users and other visitors must not copy, clone or steal any of the gaming techniques, details of the universe in which the game is set, unique ideas and player interface designed for and by the owners of RIC. This provision applies to, but it is not limited to, the characters and gaming system, posting interface and all intellectual property rights applicable under the fullest extent of the law.

Liability

RIC offers no indemnity to users of this web site.  To further clarify this point:

1. Users of RIC are liable for everything posted on, submitted to and/or sent to RIC and all consequences of those actions. RIC and its owners and operators are not responsible for any of the player generated content, nor its effects, consequences or repercussions.

Viruses and malicious code

Whilst we do not use any malicious software ourselves, we offer no warranty that this site has not had such malware posted by others.

Availability of the web site and gaming system

Although RIC functions 24/7 for 365 days of the year: we can give no guarantee that the web site and gaming system will be available at any given moment.  The web site and gaming system may not be available because of the sometimes unpredictable nature of the internet, the multiple service providers that can be involved, the process of updates, backups and unforseen system downtime.

Gaming conduct and the responsibilities of users

RIC is a roleplaying game, and at least some of the characters are rough individuals.  Because players of RIC must be aged 15 or over, some colorful language in round posts is acceptable.  However, excessive vulgar / objectionable language is considered to be inappropriate.  If a games master feels that the use of language is inappropriate they may edit that language before incorporating the language into the next round.

Emails between player, the campaign's GM and the RIC Admin should use language that is measured and courteous.  A player who is considered to be using objectionable language, especially if it is derogatory of an individual, sexist, racist or otherwise inappropriate, may result in emails from the player being blocked.  Repeated offences may result in the individual's membership of RIC being suspended or even cancelled.

A player who is offended or otherwise finds objectionable the language used by another player should contact their games master.  If the concern relates to a games master, the player should send an email to admin@rebornthegame.com.

Any abuse of a RIC account and of these Terms and Conditions, may result in suspension or deletion of a user account at any time, pending the judgement of the system operators.

Payments to RIC

It is currently free to play Reborn: The Invessi Chronicles.  Even if a player subscription is later introduced, players who commence in a RIC campaign will not be obliged to pay to continue to play while this system remains operational.

Applications to play RIC

Persons who wish to play RIC must complete a membership application form.  Applications are considered by the operators of this site.  The operators reserve the right to accept or reject any application.  The decision of the operators is final and not subject to appeal or review.
