of these terms. You may also become a member of Vinagames.com by

Vinagames.com RULES OF PLAY
The Rules of Play tell you what you can expect on Vinagames.com, and the
kind of online behavior we expect of you. It also contains the terms
on which we make the game service and any software available. Our player
community is always evolving, so it's important that you
periodically check here for updates and new information. All of
our games, activities and other services, regardless of when they
are added to Vinagames.com are governed by our Terms of Service.
Appropriate Online content.
Vinagames.com does not pre-screen all content available on our service.
Vinagames.com does not assume any responsibility or liability for content
that is provided by members or other guests on Vinagames.com. Vinagames.com
does not endorse, approve, or prescreen any content that you or other users communicate on the
service. We reserve the right to remove content that is
objectionable to us for any reason. Neither Vinagames.com nor its
affiliates assume any liability for any failure to remove, or any
delay in removing, content. You bear the entire risk of the
completeness, accuracy or usefulness of content found on our
service.
Members and other guests may generate content in chat rooms, message
boards, and in chat during games, etc. This kind of content must
reflect our standards, and we may remove it if, in our best
judgment, it does not meet those standards. If it's a serious offense or
you've violated our
rules before, we may ban you from participating on Vinagames.com and
terminate your account.
Content standards may vary depending on where you are on Vinagames.com, the
type of game you are playing and the expectations of the community.
Strong vulgar language,
crude or explicit sexual references, discussions of illegal drugs,
and hate speech are offensive and always inappropriate content for
Vinagames.com. In other cases, there may be "gray areas". Always use your
best judgment. If you would not say something in a room full of
people you have never met, or in the workplace, please don't post it
on our message boards or chat. Vinagames.com makes the final determination
about whether content is objectionable or not. This determination is
in our sole discretion, and is final.
Vinagames.com representatives may monitor your communications on Vinagames.com.
But, because we cannot monitor all of the content on Vinagames.com, and we
do not attempt to do so, you might encounter something you don't
want to see. Some of
the areas on Vinagames.com allow you to filter the chat you see. You can
use this feature to reduce your exposure to words you do not wish to
see. Reading the game help documents, or asking our Vinagames.com staff
members or other players in the game is a great way to learn how to
use these tools. Your good judgment in
making reports, particularly about the opinions of others, is
important and appreciated. Vinagames.com does not endorse or oppose the
opinions of any member or guest, but we may take issue with the
manner in which an opinion is expressed.
Online Conduct
You agree that you will be personally responsible for your use of
the service and for all of your communication and activity on the
service, including any content you contribute, and that you will
indemnify and hold harmless Vinagames.com and its affiliates,
employees, officers, and directors from any liability or damages
arising from your conduct on Vinagames.com, including any content that you
contribute. Online conduct should be guided by common sense and
basic etiquette. You will violate the Terms of Service if you (or
others using your account) do any of the following:
- Post, transmit, promote, or distribute content that is illegal.
Harass, threaten, embarrass, or do anything else to another member
or guest that is unwanted. This means: don't say bad things about
them, don't keep sending them unwanted messages, don't attack
their race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. If you
disagree with someone, respond to the subject, not the person.

abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, vulgar, sexually

-
Disrupt the flow of chat in chat rooms with vulgar language,
abusiveness, hitting the Return key repeatedly or inputting large

it ruins the experience for others.
