1. ADMINISTRATION AND SERVER

1. Bless MU's administrative team is entirely composed of legally capable individuals, of France, United States nationality, volunteers and without any personal and/or professional ties with the original developer of Mu Online - Webzen - and its employees, and this service is, therefore, a private server of the same Game.

2. The members are responsible for managing and guaranteeing the server's operation in its entirety, which refers to technical issues, financial support, community support, and other aspects, except in cases where the team's intervention proves to be unnecessary or impossible.

3. By accepting Bless MU terms of use and creating your account, the user reserves to the administration the rights to manage your account, by changing the data informed at registration that are in disagreement with the server rules, or suspending temporarily or permanently your registration in cases where it is found to be in violation of the rules in acts while within the Game itself or any other community platform managed by the administration; however, the user does NOT reserve to the administration the rights to use, for any purpose, the e-mail, name, password and IP address informed at registration.

4. It is the right of the members who has been suspended to appeal ONCE only for a review of the ban by the administration, who will decide if the penalty was actually valid or if it was a mistake; it is also the right of the suspended player to ask for a copy of the article that convicts him/her in these terms of use, along with proof of the infraction he/she committed in order for the suspension to be imposed. The review can be done through the Discord support system (ticket).

5. Although the Game proposal is to work 24 hours a day, Bless MU team may shut down the servers in order to perform maintenance considered necessary for the good functioning of the equipment and programs. These maintenances may or may not be scheduled in advance, varying according to the needs that the technical adjustments demand.

6. All information related to your account(s) is the property of Bless MU.

2. SECURITY

1. We are NOT responsible for the security of your username and password. Players are in charge of protecting their accounts. This means that you should never provide your account login or password on a non-Bless MU site (https://bless.mu). DO NOT divulge your login information; the moment you give out your login or personal information, you basically give away all the items you own, including the account itself. Violation of this rule is done at your own risk.

2. Any problems arising from sharing your account(s), passwords or personal information at any cybercafe or other actions are the sole responsibility of the registered user of the account. We will not assume responsibility or provide any support for any problems that may occur with your account.

3. DO NOT log into any user's account that you do not own. After doing so, your computer's hardware number will be registered in this user's account. If any account and/or hardware is banned, your computer will be banned as well, even if your personal account is not banned. In order to access your account, you will need to use a new PC. This rule also applies to any internet cafes or computers owned by schools or libraries.

It is up to the user to judge the situation and determine if it is possible or not to perform Chaos Machine combinations, Trades, etc.

10. It is understood that by registering on the site, the user is already aware of the terms of use that are in force on the server. Alleging ignorance of the rules will not be accepted as justification for unblocking the account, character or reimbursement of any kind of damage that the user will acquire.

3. RESTRICTIONS

1. The online environment has several communication systems, which makes it possible to send and receive written messages from other players. Because it allows the display of any type of content, the chat and the other official Bless MU networks have their own rules and prohibitions established to promote mutual respect and conscientious use of the tools.

It is strictly forbidden to use the Game chat or text rooms on Discord to disseminate hate speech, xenophobia, racism, pornographic content, personal insults and other reprehensible attitudes and intolerance foreseen and punishable according to the Constitution of France.

However, punishments will be applied to the infractor in the hypothesis that the target of slander, libel and defamation feels injured by the terms directed to him or the team deems necessary.  In addition, punishments may be applied if the user makes disrespectful, unnecessary or excessive comments in or out of Game about any player.

We leave here registered the alert to users to use common sense in situations where there are doubts about what is allowed or forbidden within the server.

2. The rules and terms of use listed here are subject to change without notice from the Administrators, and you should periodically visit this topic to stay informed of changes.

3. Users should have DISCORD and SITE as primary sources of data and information that are essential for Gameplay, being aware that several of Bless MU's characteristics (such as success rate of combinations in Chaos Machine, for example) were changed in order to provide a better balance and fluidity to the virtual environment. Since it is technically impossible to show the real data inside the Game, it's up to the player to confirm them externally based on the aforementioned sources. The Bless MU Administration will not be responsible for the loss of items due to incorrect use by the player of In-Game tools whose functioning has already been guided in the official communication means.

4. Only infractions that have occurred within a period of 6 months prior to the date of the complaint through our official channels will be analyzed by the Administration. After this period, the infraction becomes obsolete and Staffs reserves the right to discard it, since the system is unable to store the records to be used in the judgment for a prolonged time.

8. LEGAL PROVISIONS

The ban/suspension of user accounts that infringe the Game rules will not result in compensation for material or moral damage in the judicial sphere, considering that all the virtual content present in the Game is Bless MU property and there are no charges or fees for using our services.

In the hypothesis of the filing of an action where, on the merits, the relationship of this Game is discussed, the action must be proposed in the Supreme Court of the United States - SCOTUS, this district being the competent jurisdiction, renouncing any other, however privileged it may be.
