Terms of Use

This is the terms of use to which you are agreeing by checking the box on the signup page which says "I have read and agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions of this website."

Terms and Conditions

Erick reserves the right at any time to change these Terms of Use in any way. Any time that you log into this site, you are accepting any changes which Erick has made to these Terms. Any time Erick makes a change, he is required to post that change on the login screen and in the news section of SimYard.com (the Site) for a period of 30 days. Be sure to check the news before you sign in.

Privacy Policy

Erick will not give your e-mail address, full name or country out to anybody. Erick will not share any information acquired from third parties through the purchasing process. Erick will only e-mail you if you explicitly let him by checking the box next to "I would like to receive e-mail updates." All of the information that the Site collects about you is displayed to you on the Site for your review. All game data associated with your account is public, and you should have no expectation of privacy regarding any information except that which is explicitly stated here.

Health of the Community

No user shall engage in activities detrimental to the health of the community. This includes, but is not limited to, spamming, abusive behavior, cheating, trolling, and griefing other players.

Violation of Terms

Any violation of these terms may result in the deactivation of your account, the loss of game materials, or a decrease in website permissions. In the case that membership payments have been made on the account which violated these terms, no refund will be due. Do not violate these terms of use.

Use of Moderators

Moderators may be chosen to monitor the website and report violations of the terms of use. Moderators will have the ability to decrease website permissions in response to some violations. Others will be referred to Erick for more serious consequences. Moderators will be chosen by Erick using his own criteria, will not be paid, and may not use their abilities to help them win. Any violation of this trust by moderators will be considered a violation of these terms.

Paid Membership

Because there is adequate time to play the free portion of the game in order to evaluate the game on its merits, absolutely no refunds will be given for membership payments.

Account Use

You are being given access to the site for your own personal use only, and you can not give access to your account to any other person for any reason. Each person may have only one account, for their use only. Account sitting may be allowed in the case when the primary account holder is on vacation. In this case, the account sitter may not use both accounts in collusion.

You must be 13 years of age or older to create an account. Please make sure your contributions to the website are age-appropriate.
