solely responsible for their behavior in both public and battle chat. Beta-testers are responsible for
protecting their accounts from access by others. You are strongly encouraged to select a hard-to-
guess password and not re-use that password on any other sites where it may be read by the owners
or administrators of that site. It is highly recommended that board users do not share their accounts
with others, nor share their computers used to access the site with others. In case your account has
been lost or hacked, please, inform the administration immediately.
Please report any bugs and errors related to registration to support@worldoftanks.com.

B. Account Suspension
Violations of these rules can lead to the following sanctions:
1. Temporary suspension from public and battle chat

2. Permanent suspension from public and battle chat

 3. Temporary suspension of user account

4. Permanent suspension of user account

5. Account closure

6. Forced renaming of user account

C. Prohibited Uses
By involving yourself in the Game, you acknowledge that you agree to these and all other relevant
rules and will abide by them regardless of the circumstances. In addition you also agree that these

user to use your account, you are personally responsible for all the consequences (including
termination of your account) which may result, if the above discussed person violates any of the listed
rules at any time you will not be entitled to a refund of any monies paid by you.

You agree not to do any of the following while using the Game or any WN public and battle chats,
message boards, messenger-type and other communication features:

designations, abbreviations (SS), and their stylizations (55);

2. Impersonate any person or entity, including but not limited to, the Game or other WN official,
employee, representative or agent (or an official, employee, representative or agent of WN's

6. Slander and deception of WN staff. WN staff is to be as impartial and unbiased as possible. If

there is an issue with the performance of the WN staff the players are to send a report to
Customer Service so the issue can be taken under investigation. Openly offending the WN
Staff, withholding information, or openly deceiving the WN staff, as well as contradicting their
words, actions, and decisions can lead to various penalties depending on the situation.
Offenses in this category go through a thorough analysis before punishment is given;

7. Transmit unsolicited advertising, promotional materials, or other forms of solicitation.

Advertising may include, but is not limited to, the repeated posting of website links through
any of the in-game methods of communication. Links to sites, images and/or video as well as
businesses and organizations or websites not related to WN and the Game may also be
considered as advertising and so such actions are considered prohibited. Discussions of other
war games are allowed, however, any form of advertising of non-WN games will not be
tolerated;

8. Use cheating and hacking. Any kind of cheating or hacking which is concluded by our
assessment of a player's results will not be tolerated. The hacker's information including the
current IP Address will be recorded for future reference and investigation. By using the Game
 you agree to immediately report to WN staff on any hacking tools if known that can potentially
harm the Website or the Game for further investigation;

with, surreptitiously intercept or mine, scrape or expropriate any system, data or personal
information;

religious and political figures.

criminal liability;

WN reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add to, supplement or delete any of

upon prior notice as follows: WN will post the revised version of this License Agreement on the World
of Tanks website, and may provide such other notice as WN may elect in its sole discretion. If any
future changes to this License Agreement are unacceptable to you or cause you to no longer be in
compliance with this License Agreement, you may terminate this License Agreement in accordance
with Section 6 herein. Your installation and use of any of WN’s updates or modifications to the Game
or your continued use of the Game following notice of changes to this Agreement will demonstrate

aspect of the Game at any time. WN may also impose limits on certain features or restrict your access
to parts or all of the Game without notice or liability. You have no interest, monetary or otherwise, in
any feature or content contained in the Game.

14. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

A. Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy
or claim related to this License Agreement ("Dispute"), you and WN agree to first attempt to
negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least
30 days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations
commence upon written notice from one person to the other. WN will send its notice to your
billing address and email you a copy to the email address you have provided to us. You will
send your notice to Wargaming.net LLP, Office 415, 60 Cannon Street, London, EC4N 6NP, UK
and e-mail a copy to our customer support service support@worldoftanks.com.
B. Binding Arbitration. If you and WN are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal
negotiations, either you or WN may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly
excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to
arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A
JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the jurisdiction of UK
courts. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by
phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a
statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law,
and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided
in this License Agreement, you and WN may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay
proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award
entered by the arbitrator.
C. Restrictions. You and WN agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between
WN and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined
with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-
action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any
Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or
any other persons.
D. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and WN agree that the following
Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding
arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any
of your or WN's intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from,
allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for
injunctive relief.

15. Miscellaneous
This License Agreement constitutes and contains the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior oral or written agreements, provided,
however, that this Agreement shall coexist with, and shall not supersede, the Terms of Service. To the
extent that the provisions of this Agreement conflict with the provisions of the Terms of Service, the
conflicting provisions in the Terms of Service shall govern. The provisions of Sections 4(A), 5, 9-11, 13
and 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. If any provision of this
Agreement is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remainder of the
Agreement shall be given full force and effect.

I hereby acknowledge that I have read and understand the foregoing License Agreement and agree
that by clicking “Accept” or installing the Game Client I am acknowledging my agreement to be bound
by the terms and conditions of this License Agreement.
