Mage Faire Studios, LLC (“Mage Faire”) is a publisher and developer of interactive software entertainment, and offers games, activities, and services through its Game and System. A Mage Faire “Game” refers to any Mage Faire software product. The Mage Faire “System” refers to the social networking features and all interactive features, forums, chat rooms, websites and services associated with Mage Faire or any Mage Faire Game, including the Game itself. This Terms of Service applies to the Mage Faire System (“System”).
Your use of the System, or Game and access to your Mage Faire Account is subject at all times to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.
EACH TIME YOU USE OR ACCESS THE SYSTEM OR A MAGE FAIRE GAME, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THEM. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY (OR CANNOT COMPLY WITH) ANY OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, PLEASE DO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SYSTEM OR GAME. ANY REFERENCES HEREIN TO “YOU” AND “YOUR” REFER TO BOTH YOU AND SUCH PERSON AND ENTITY ON WHOSE BEHALF YOU ACT, IF ANY.
PART I: TERMS THAT APPLY TO THE ENTIRE MAGE FAIRE SYSTEM
1. Accounts and Naming
You may view some of the content on the System as a visitor without registering. By using the System, you agree to be bound by this Terms of Service. In order to post to any forum, participate in chats, or play any of the Mage Faire Games, you must register for a Mage Faire Account. By completing any specific Mage Faire Game’s registration process, you will establish a Mage Faire Account with which to access the System and become a Mage Faire Account Holder. Mage Faire Accounts have specific Game Accounts attached to them (Mage Faire Accounts and Game Accounts, unless specified, are collectively referred to as “Accounts”).
1.1. Accounts for Personal Use Only
You shall not share your Accounts with anyone or allow anyone else other than you to access or use your Accounts, other than your parent(s) or guardian(s) who have rights to access and manage your Account if you are a Minor. Joint or shared ownership or use of an Account by more than one individual natural person is prohibited, other than parent(s) or guardian(s) who have rights to access and manage your Account if you are a Minor. Selling or renting access to another person to your Account for the purposes of allowing them access to the Mage Faire System is prohibited. Access to the Mage Faire System is intended solely for the purposes of entertainment by individual natural persons, and not for purposes of corporate, business, commercial, or income-seeking activities.
1.2 For Children Under 13 Years Old
You may not register for a Mage Faire Account if you are under 13, which will allow you access to certain portions (but not all) of the Mage Faire System.
1.3 For Minors Between the Ages of 13 and 17 Inclusive
If you are between the ages of 13 and 17, you may register for a Mage Faire Account with the permission of your parent or guardian.
1.4 Naming Policy
To create a Mage Faire Account, you may create a Mage Faire Public Name. Certain Mage Faire Public Names are not acceptable, including those that either directly or by use of misspellings, phonetics, or numbers are: 1) vulgar, obscene, lewd, sexual, racist, hateful, or contain ethnic references or slurs; 2) refer to any drug or drug paraphernalia references; 3) created with the clear intent to harass, impersonate, or abuse other players, guilds, or staff; 4) are a part of any Mage Faire Game; 5) derived from popular culture, media, religious, or historical significance or origin; 6) the trademark or service mark (whether registered or under common law) of any third party; or 7) are non-pronounceable (e.g., no “asdbxwrs” or “2lkjf25”). Such names may be removed by Mage Faire. Extreme violations of the Naming Policy can result in suspension or termination of your Mage Faire Account.
We reserve the right to change any name that we feel—in our sole discretion—violates the spirit of any Mage Faire Game or the Naming Policy, with or without warning or consent.
1.5 Sale of Accounts Prohibited
You may not transfer, sell or auction, or offer to transfer, sell or auction, or buy or accept any offer to transfer, sell, or auction, any Mage Faire Account. The buying, selling, auctioning of Mage Faire Accounts whether through online auctions (for example through eBay), newsgroups or postings on message boards, or through a third-party broker service, and/or any offer or attempt to do so, constitutes a violation of this Terms of Service.
2. Billing
2.1. Charges Apply to Some Activities
You may create a Mage Faire Account without paying any registration or subscription fees to access the Mage Faire System. However, Mage Faire may charge fees to access or participate in certain activities on the System. You will be informed prior to entering any agreement whereby charges will be imposed. All billing issues are handled through the Account Management section of the relevant Game website. Any applicable fees and other charges are payable in advance. Mage Faire may change its fees and external billing methods which directly impact you at any time effective immediately after notice of these changes are given. You are responsible for reviewing the Account Management section of the Game to obtain timely notice of such changes. If any change is unacceptable to you, you may cancel your Mage Faire Account or Game Account at any time, but Mage Faire will not refund any fees that may have accrued to your Mage Faire Account or Game Account before such cancellation, and we will not prorate fees for any charges.
2.2. Payment Options/Major Credit Card
Subject to technical problems and revisions to payment policies which may be instituted by Mage Faire at any time without notice, you may pay for any applicable fees and charges by major credit card, or other methods expressly authorized by Mage Faire. When you provide payment method information to Mage Faire, you represent to Mage Faire that you are the authorized user of the payment method that is used to pay the fees and charges applicable to the subject Account. As the Mage Faire Account Holder, you are responsible for all fees and charges incurred, including applicable taxes, and all purchases made by you or anyone that uses your Account or any linked Mage Faire Account, including your family or friends. This means that, unless your Account or credit card information is obtained unlawfully or fraudulently by someone using your Account, you will be responsible for all usage and purchases on your Account.
2.3. Refund Policy
All fees and/or charges incurred by a Mage Faire Account Holder through the use of their Mage Faire Account are non-refundable except in the following situation: If the Mage Faire Account Holder who incurred the subject fees and/or charges can prove that the Mage Faire Account Holder has been victimized by identity theft. If you have any questions regarding our refund policy, please contact our customer service department at the relevant Game website.

8. Miscellaneous
8.1 Governing Law, and Dispute Resolution Procedure
To facilitate the resolution of any controversy related to this Agreement (“Dispute”), you and Mage Faire agree to first attempt to resolve any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least 30 days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Informal resolution may be completed through a customer service mechanism. If this fails, additional informal discussions begin upon written notice from you or Mage Faire. Mage Faire will send its notice to the email address you have provided to us and may also provide a copy to a physical address if we have one on file. You will send your notice to Mage Faire Studios, LLC, 11024 Montgomery Blvd. NE #161, Albuquerque, NM, 87111, USA.
If you and Mage Faire are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal discussions, either you or Mage Faire may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by final binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be performed under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by these AAA rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, Mage Faire will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online as allowed by the AAA rules. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Mage Faire may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
No Class Action. You and Mage Faire agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between Mage Faire and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law no arbitration or other dispute resolution proceeding shall be joined with any other or decided on a class-action basis.
Exceptions to Informal Discussions and Arbitration. You and Mage Faire agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal discussions and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or criminal activity; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief.
Venue. Any arbitration will take place in the County of New York, State of New York, United States of America. Any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of New York, State of New York, United States of America, and you and Mage Faire agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. Construction and performance of this Agreement and the legal relations between the parties hereto shall be under the law of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Each party hereby waives any claim that such venue is improper or inconvenient.
8.2. Modification to System/Permanent Discontinuation of System
Mage Faire may at any time and from time to time revise, supplement, suspend, modify, or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the System (or any part thereof) with or without notice to you, and terminate all licenses granted in these Terms of Service. You agree that neither Mage Faire nor any of its affiliates, licensors, agents, or employees is liable to you or any third party for any revision, supplement, suspension, or discontinuation of the System, and termination of any license.
Mage Faire, in its sole discretion, may remove or delete any of your Content when such Content has exceeded a pre-determined time restriction and/or quantity, or when the System, or any component thereof, requires maintenance or upgrades.

PART III: TERMS THAT APPLY TO ALL ALPHA AND BETA TESTS
You may be given the opportunity to test new game elements and site features. Your participation as a tester is subject to the following terms and conditions:
Closed Tests
Closed Tests are confidential. The Closed Tests, including information about features and functionality to be offered as part of the games, are confidential. If you participate in a Closed Test, you must safeguard and prevent unauthorized access to, copying, disclosure, and unauthorized use of the Closed Test. Specifically, you may discuss any items in the Closed Test in our forums, but not disclose it to press or third-parties. You will carry out the testing personally and not provide access to the Closed Test to any other person. You agree that breach of the above confidentiality obligations will entitle Mage Faire to (in addition to any other remedies available to it) limit or remove your access to any test content—without notice to you—to prevent any breach, potential breach or threatened breach. Your obligation to keep the Closed Test confidential will continue until Mage Faire publicly distributes, or has otherwise disclosed to the public through no fault of yours, each of the games and the content that you are testing.
All Tests (Closed and Open)
As a tester, you are invited to play test games for the sole purpose of evaluating the games and identifying errors. Nothing in these Terms of Service or on the System shall be construed as granting you any rights or privileges of any kind with respect to the test games or content that you find here. The test games are provided for testing on an “as is” and “as available” basis and we make no warranty to you of any kind, express or implied. In fact, as a tester you should expect errors during game play. When playing some test games, you may accumulate items, experience points, equipment, or other value or status indicators. This data may be reset at any time during the testing process. We reserve the right to reset player history and erase data. By using the Mage Faire System during the test period, you agree that: (i) playing test games is at your own risk and that you know the games may include known or unknown bugs; (ii) any value or status indicators that you achieve through game play may be erased at any time; (iii) Mage Faire has no obligation to make these games available for play without charge for any period of time, nor to make them available at all; (iv) these games may be available only by purchasing virtual currency once the testing process is complete or at any time in the future; (v) these Terms of Service apply to your use of the games during the testing phase; and (vi) if it is a Closed Test, you will keep all information about the test games confidential as stated above and not disclose such information to any other person.
Test Accounts are non-transferable under any circumstances.
