    Notorious Games provides the end users (the "User") with the ability to create a forum account in which to communicate with other users on the forum ("The Service").

    5. Content Responsibility

    The User understands that all content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from which such Content originated. This means that the User is entirely responsible for all Content transmitted via the Service. In NO WAY is the Staff or the Service responsible for the Content transmitted.

    6. Termination of Accounts

    Notorious Games or anyone placed in position by Notorious Games has the right but not the obligation to terminate ANY account on the service if the said account has broken any part of these terms, no matter how minor. Termination of accounts is done on a case-by case basis and the specific member of the Staff of the Service determines the outcome of that particular Terms of Service violation. Each case is different, and each will be treated differently, on that member's sole discretion.

    The Creator of the said Account on the Service is not required to be notified at any time before termination of the Account. However, in most cases, the Creator will be notified of the violation in hopes that the Creator will fix this violation. If no compliance is made, the Account will most likely be terminated. As said earlier, termination is done on a case-by-case basis, and for more severe cases, notification of the Creator will most likely not happen, and an action will be taken immediately. Additionally, the reason why they said account was terminated is not required to be given to the Creator, as the Creator should be aware of the violations that are occurring at the said Account.

    The creation of a secondary or alternate account used to circumvent a temporary or permanent banning will result in a permanent ban of all forum and game accounts associated with the offending user and associated IPs without notification.
