Transparency & Player Protection
These Terms of Service govern the relationship between players and the NTServer administration. Please read these terms carefully before registering or participating in our game server.
§ 1: Scope & Acceptance of Terms
By creating an account on our website or accessing the NTServer game server, you explicitly and unconditionally accept these Terms of Service, our Server & Game Rules, and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, you must immediately cease using all NTServer services.
The administration reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time to reflect technical updates, server balance, or legal obligations. Major revisions will be announced via our website or Discord. Continued use of our services following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
§ 2: Intellectual Property & Emulation Notice
NTServer is an independent, non-commercial emulation project created strictly for educational, reverse-engineering, and historical preservation purposes regarding MMORPG server architectures.
NosTale is a registered trademark of Entwell Co., Ltd. and is published in Europe by Gameforge 4D GmbH. NTServer is neither affiliated with, supported by, nor endorsed by Entwell Co., Ltd. or Gameforge 4D GmbH. All original game client artwork, logos, sound assets, and trademarks remain the sole intellectual property of their respective copyright holders.
§ 3: Registration, Eligibility & Security
Users must be at least 16 years of age to register an account. Minors under 16 require explicit consent from a parent or legal guardian. Automated registrations through script bots or temporary disposable mailboxes are strictly prohibited.
Users are strictly responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their credentials and selecting a strong password. If unauthorized account access is suspected, the password must be updated immediately via the User Control Panel (UCP). Account owners are liable for all activities conducted under their credentials.
§ 4: Virtual Goods, Currency & Licenses
All virtual items (including player characters, stats, Gold, Specialist Cards, weapons, pets, mounts, and server coins) are purely digital data residing on NTServer infrastructure. Users receive only a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to utilize these virtual assets within the game service.
Virtual assets hold zero real-world monetary value and do not confer any ownership or property rights to the player.
§ 5: Voluntary Donations & Refund Policy
Financial contributions provided to NTServer are strictly voluntary donations intended solely to assist in covering ongoing infrastructure costs (dedicated hosting, bandwidth, DDoS mitigation, and server electricity).
• Not a Commercial Purchase: Donations do not constitute a commercial sale of goods or services.
• Non-Refundable Policy: All donations are strictly non-refundable under any circumstances, including server maintenance, database rollbacks, account terminations due to rule violations, or eventual service termination.
• Fraudulent Chargebacks: Initiating fraudulent chargebacks via payment processors (such as PayPal or credit card disputes) will result in an immediate permanent ban across all associated accounts, IP ranges, and Hardware IDs (HWID).
§ 6: Service Availability & Disclaimer of Warranties
NTServer is provided strictly on an 'as-is' and 'as-available' basis without warranties of any kind. The administration does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free uptime. Scheduled maintenance, emergency downtime, gameplay balance reworks, or database rollbacks resulting from technical failures do not entitle users to compensation.
§ 7: Suspension, Termination & Administration Rights
The server administration holds full virtual domiciliary rights across all NTServer platforms. In cases of rule violations, infrastructure abuse, fraud, or deliberate harm to the community, staff reserves the right to suspend or terminate user access temporarily or permanently at its sole discretion.
§ 8: Final Provisions & Severability
Should any provision of these Terms be deemed invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be replaced by a valid provision that best reflects the original intent.
