concepts/rights              Nanvaent Player Help

Whether you like it or not, NANVAENT really exists. It runs on a
real machine in a real place and is run by some real people.

It is currently hosted in the UK and as such is subject to UK law.

Changes to UK law in 2000/2001, including the RIP Act, mean that the
content stored or communicated by machines in the UK now has legal status,
and as such are subject to all UK laws concerning content.

Some of these laws give British citizens certain rights. However, they
also impose restrictions on how a service can be run.

BY LOGGING INTO NANVAENT YOU DISCLAIM CERTAIN RIGHTS UNDER UK LAW.

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THIS, TYPE "q" then "quit" NOW AND NEVER COME BACK.

BY NOT LEAVING NANVAENT YOU INDICATE AGREEMENT TO THIS POLICY.

We don't want to infringe your rights but we cannot afford the problems
this can cause us legally and ask you to refrain from using NANVAENT if you
do not agree with this policy.

Specifically this means that (but it is not restricted to):

* Tools in use by the administration of NANVAENT and features in the game
  of NANVAENT may be classified as intercepting communications in their
  lawful course. You disclaim all rights to the sovereignity and/or ownership
  of any content stored or transmitted by NANVAENT or the machines on which
  it is hosted.

* You do not have an automatic right to play or connect to NANVAENT. You
  cannot assume that because NANVAENT is publically accessible that you 
  have such a right or that by allowing you to connect we won't kick you
  off.

* There is no warranty that NANVAENT is fit for any particular purpose,
  stated, implied or otherwise. If you want purpose, give us all your money
  and go join the Red Cross. http://www.icrc.org/

* The Administration of NANVAENT can bar access, remove character files
  or make use of other measures under any circumstance they see fit in
  order to protect the nature and property of NANVAENT. See the "cheating"
  document for examples of conditions where this comes into play.

* The Administration is not responsible for any loss or damage, real or
  virtual, to equipment, property or persons as a direct or indirect
  result of the use of NANVAENT or by the willful or negligent operation 
  of NANVAENT by its Administration or by its players. You cannot send 
  us a Bill (one is more than enough) because you think it blew your PC up.
  We did not send you to the asylum. You cannot magic missile your boss.

* You waive all rights, past, future and present, including those under
  the Geneva Convention. If you die in action or are captured, taken to
  a cell and tortured for all you're worth in some obscure corner of
  NANVAENT, tough. Don't come whining to us.

* The content of NANVAENT is unrated, but the Administration advise that
  much of it would fall under 18 or NC-17 as it contains sometimes
  graphical descriptions of mutilation, gore, death, otherwise violent
  acts and sometimes sexually related acts. If this type of content is
  likely to offend, we advise you leave now, quickly, as directed above.
  It's a cruel world out there, and NANVAENT is no better.

* The Administration reserves the right to amend, update, add or remove
  any paragraph in this policy document at any time without prior notice
  as long as this document is referred to in both the WELCOME banner and
  the NEWS after authentication.

* This policy shall be enforceable in its entirety. If any section should
  for whatever reason become unenforcable, it shall remain in force as
  though the invalid section were removed.

* We are not responsible if you cannot separate reality from a game.
  It's only a game! Get a Real Life! (available at all good shops)
