IMPORTANT Server Rules

Status
Not open for further replies.
0. Introduction

0.1 By registering, you agree to the rules of the project. You need to follow them and follow the updates. Ignorance of the rules is no excuse.

0.2 For a number of justifiable reasons, the administration has the right to forgive or further punish a player. The administration has the right to ban you for an offence that is not described in the rules. In addition, depending on the situation, the administration has the right to punish players without any limitations, which includes punishments without evidence. Do not try to bypass the rules.

0.3 You deposit all money for donation services at your own peril and risk. Money spent on purchases cannot be refunded (Read more: Terms of Service).
The sale of donation services is possible only on our website https://mineland.net/.
We do not carry out replenishment in other ways and on other resources of the Internet network! If you do not receive the goods, write to us in our Discord Server and create a Ticket please or email [email protected]

0.4 Players are responsible for their account, their actions and their contents. The administration does not return items stolen by other players or items lost due to bugs, rollbacks, deaths and account hacks, etc.

0.5 The opinion of the staff takes precedence, however, an appeal can be made about a ban/kick/mute/warning received, in your opinion, improperly.

0.6 The permissions granted by ranks may be changed by the administration without notice.
