Post Look at the terms we agreed to!

Lol i was bored and went to the POTCO website and pulled up the Member Agreement and here it is! I bolded some interesting points such as disney reserves the right to terminate your account for any reason or no reason at all..

Welcome to DISNEY PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN ONLINE GAME (the "Service").
PLEASE READ THIS MEMBER AGREEMENT, THE DISNEY TERMS OF USE, AND THE DISNEY HOUSE RULES CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SERVICE.
This Service is owned and operated by Disney Online (referred to as "Disney," "we," "us," or "our" herein).

By using this Service, you agree to this Pirates of the Caribbean Online Game Member Agreement, the Disney Terms of Use [http://disney.go.com/legal/conditions_of_use.html], and the Disney House Rules [http://disney.go.com/guestservices/netiquette.html] (collectively, the "Agreement"). If you do not agree to each of these documents in their entirety, please do not use the Service. Please note that you will be referred to from time to time as "Member" in this Agreement. The person who purchases the Service may also be referred to as the "Account Holder" in this Agreement. "Account" means the account registered to any Member, pursuant to the registration procedures for the Service. The terms of this Agreement apply to all Members and users of the Service via the Account, whether or not they are the Account Holder. The Account Holder is responsible for making each of the Members of their Account (and anyone else they may allow access to their Account) aware of the terms of this Agreement and for ensuring compliance. The Account Holder for an Account is entirely liable for all activities conducted through that Account.

We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove (collectively, "Change" or the "Changes") portions of this Agreement (including the Terms of Use and House Rules) at any time, and Changes will be effective immediately upon posting of the revised Agreement at the domain or subdomain where the prior version was posted. It is the Member’s responsibility to review these terms, the Terms of Use, and the House Rules for any Changes. Although notification of Changes to this Agreement may from time to time be posted on the Service or sent via e-mail or postal mail, such notification does not waive or otherwise excuse Member’s affirmative obligation to review the Agreement for Changes, and to understand and agree to the most up-to-date terms of the Service. We suggest that you review the terms of this Member Agreement, the Terms of Use, and the House Rules for Changes each time prior to using the Service.

If any future Changes to this Agreement are unacceptable to you, or cause you to no longer be in compliance with this Agreement, you must terminate your Account. Your continued use of the Service following Changes to this Agreement (including the Terms of Use and House Rules) will signify that you accept those Changes.

We may change, modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, including, without limitation, the availability of any Service feature, database or content, hours of availability, or equipment needed to access the Service. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict your access to parts or all of the Service for extended periods of time, without notice or liability. We reserve the right to interrupt the Service with or without prior notice for any reason or no reason, and you shall not be entitled to any refunds of fees for interruption of the Service or its otherwise failure to perform. We cannot guarantee that this Service or any data stored or transmitted in connection with it will be uninterrupted, error-free, and secure of viruses and other malware.

We are not an Internet provider and do not provide Internet access, and you are responsible for all fees associated with your Internet connection. You are likewise solely responsible for and must provide all telephone, computer and other equipment necessary to access the Service, including without limitation Internet access software and modems. We do not guarantee that the Service will operate on any specific equipment or any particular operating system, and we are not responsible for any damage, either temporary or permanent, to equipment or software in connection with using the Service.

RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF MATERIALS
All materials published by Disney (including, but not limited to, informational resources, photographs, images, illustrations, audio clips, and video clips (collectively, "Content")) are protected by copyright, and owned or controlled by Disney, its parent or affiliated companies, or a third-party provider. You shall abide by all copyright notices, information, or restrictions contained in any Content accessed through the Service.

The Service is copyright protected as a collective work and/or compilation, pursuant to U.S. copyright laws, international conventions, and other copyright laws. No material from the Service or any Web site owned, operated, licensed, or controlled by Disney may be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, or transmitted, nor may derivative works be created from them or distributed in any way, except that you may download one copy of the materials on any single computer (and up to three (3) computers) for your personal, noncommercial home use only, provided that you keep intact all copyright and other proprietary notices. Your use of this Service will constitute an affirmative acknowledgement that unauthorized copying of the Software or duplication of the Software in any manner, including software that has been modified, merged, or included with the Software, or the written materials associated therewith, is expressly forbidden. Using our Content for any other purpose, including but not limited to using any of our Content on any other Web site or networked computer environment, is a violation of our copyright and other proprietary rights and is strictly prohibited.

You further acknowledge that you may not sublicense, transfer, sell, or assign this license, the Software, or your Member or Account ID. Any attempt to sublicense, transfer, auction, sell or assign the license is void, and such attempts, regardless of whether made by Account Holder, will result in immediate termination of Account.

If you download software from the Service, the software, including any files, images incorporated in or generated by the software, and data accompanying the software (collectively, the "Software"), are licensed to you by Disney. We hereby grant to you a non-exclusive license to use the Software solely in connection with the Service via an authorized and fully-paid (or authorized free subscription or trial) Account. You represent, warrant, and covenant (a) that no materials of any kind submitted through your Account will (i) violate, plagiarize, or infringe upon the rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights; or (ii) contain libelous or otherwise unlawful material; (b) the credit card provided to us is valid, you are authorized to use the credit card, and you are at least thirteen (13) years old; (c) we may charge the credit card provided to us, as more fully described in the Section titled "Price and Payment" below; and (d) you will fully comply with the terms of this Agreement.

You do not own the Account, nor do you own any data stored on our servers. When using the Service, you may accumulate things, including currency, treasures, skills, equipment, and other items, that reside as data on our servers. All Account data may be deleted, altered, moved, or transferred at any time for any reason or no reason at all in Disney’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event that such data is corrupted, destroyed, or otherwise lost, you acknowledge that Disney shall not be subject to any liability.
You hereby indemnify, defend, and hold Disney, its parent and affiliated companies, and all officers, directors, owners, agents, information providers, affiliates, licensers, and licensees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any and all liability and costs incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim arising out of any breach by you or any user of your Account.

You further acknowledge and agree that we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, track, record, observe or follow any and all of your interactions within the Service.

DISCLAIMER
THE MATERIALS IN THIS SERVICE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, DISNEY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. DISNEY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THIS SERVICE OR THE SERVER THAT MAKES IT AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. DISNEY DOES NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE MATERIALS IN THIS SERVICE IN TERMS OF THEIR CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. YOU (AND NOT DISNEY) ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR, OR CORRECTION. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, AS A SERVICE TO USERS OF THE DISNEY SERVICE, WE INCLUDE LINKS TO OTHER WEB SITES ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB PORTION OF THE INTERNET AND THAT DISNEY HAS NO CONTROL OVER, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, REGARDING THE CONTENT OR APPROPRIATENESS OF CONTENT ON SUCH WEB SITES, AND YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY CLAIM AGAINST US WITH RESPECT TO SUCH WEB SITES.

Further, Disney explicitly disclaims any responsibility for the accuracy, content, or availability of information found on sites that link to or from the Services from third parties not associated with Disney. Disney encourages discretion when browsing the Internet using our or anyone else's service. Because some sites employ automated search results or otherwise link you to sites containing information that may be deemed inappropriate or offensive, Disney cannot be held responsible for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in third-party sites, and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim against us with respect to such sites. Disney cannot ensure that you will be satisfied with any products or services that you purchase from a third-party site that links to or from the Service since other shop channels are owned and operated by independent retailers. Disney does not endorse any of the merchandise, nor has Disney taken any steps to confirm the accuracy or reliability of any of the information contained in such third-party sites. Disney does not make any representations or warranties as to the security of any information including, without limitation, credit card and other personal information you might be requested to give any third party and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim against us with respect to such sites. We strongly encourage you to make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, SHALL DISNEY BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO USE, THE MATERIALS IN THIS SERVICE OR ANY OTHER WEB SITE, EVEN IF DISNEY OR A DISNEY AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL DISNEY'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU, IF ANY, FOR ACCESSING THE SERVICE.

SECURITY
As part of the registration process, Members will select a password and account ID ("Account ID"). We reserve the right to delete or change your Account ID for any reason or no reason. You shall provide Disney with accurate, complete, and up-to-date Account information. Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of this Agreement, which may result in immediate termination of your Account or other measures, including legal action. You may not (i) select or use an Account ID of another person with the intent to impersonate that person, including Account IDs that are deliberately misleading or deceptive as to the identity of the Member; (ii) use a name subject to the rights of any other person without authorization; or (iii) use a Account ID that Disney, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems inappropriate or offensive. Without limiting any of its additional rights in this Agreement or otherwise, Disney reserves the right to enforce these security measures at any time, and Disney’s allowance of an Account ID shall not be considered a waiver of our ability to terminate, suspend, or otherwise reevaluate your Account at a later time.

You shall notify Disney by e-mail at [email protected] of any known or suspected unauthorized use(s) of your Account, or any known or suspected breach of security, including loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of your password. You shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.

Any fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise illegal activity may be grounds for termination of your Account, at Disney's sole and absolute discretion, and you may be reported to appropriate law-enforcement agencies.

PRICE AND PAYMENT
Disney reserves the right at any time to charge additional fees for access to the Service. Disney reserves the right to change the amount of, or basis for determining, any fees or charges for the Service, and to institute new fees or charges effective upon prior notice to Members via the email address of record on the Member’s account or posting upon the domain or subdomain of the Service or any other method that is designed to provide reasonable notice to Members. Disney reserves the right to provide the Service at no charge for promotional reasons or otherwise (such as a free subscription or trial). PROVISION OF PROMOTIONAL TRIALS OR OTHER PREFERRED OR DISCOUNTED ACCESS TO SOME MEMBERS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FULL OR LIMITED SUBSCRIPTIONS OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE) SHALL NOT OBLIGATE DISNEY TO PROVIDE SUCH PROMOTIONS, DISCOUNTS, OR PREFERRED ACCESS TO OTHER MEMBERS.

Each Account Holder agrees to pay all charges to the Account, including applicable taxes, in accordance with billing terms in effect at the time the fee or charge becomes payable. Account Holders must provide Disney with valid information as requested during the registration process, which may include (but is not limited to) credit card information, promotional codes, or other means of payment.

If you have reason to believe that your Account is no longer secure (for example, in the event of a loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure or use of your Account ID, Password, or any credit, debit, PayPal, or charge card information stored on the Service), you must promptly change your Password and notify Disney of the problem (by giving notice as described in the Notice section below) to avoid possible liability for any unauthorized charges to your Account.
If Account Holder is paying by credit card (including debit and other charge cards):

Disney shall charge the Account Holder's credit card on the date Account Holder subscribes to the Service or if you have signed up for a free trial period, Disney shall charge the Account Holder’s credit card on the day that the free trial expires. Thereafter, Disney will automatically renew and charge the Account Holder as follows:
-Upon every one (1)-month anniversary of the first billing date for monthly subscriptions
-Upon every six (6)-month anniversary of the first billing date for semiannual subscriptions
-Upon every one (1)-year anniversary of the first billing date for annual subscriptions


The renewal charge shall be equal to or less than the original subscription price, unless otherwise notified in advance by Disney via the email address of record on the Member’s account or posting upon the domain or subdomain of the Service or any other method that is designed to provide reasonable notice to Members. You may notify Disney that you wish to cancel your subscription at any time. Disney agrees that it will terminate your Account upon receipt of notification from the Account Holder, as described below.

For monthly subscriptions: If notice of cancellation is received within the first fifteen (15) days following the first day of the initial billing, you will be eligible to receive a refund of all subscription fees for the Service, but will still be obligated to pay any other charges incurred. Your access to the Service will be canceled immediately.

For semiannual and annual subscriptions: If notice of cancellation is received within the first thirty (30) days following the first day of initial billing, you will be eligible to receive a refund of all subscription fees for the Service but will still be obligated to pay any other charges incurred. If you cancel the Service more than thirty (30) days after the initial billing, no refund for unused time will be given.

Your right to use the Service is subject to any limits established by Disney or by your credit card issuer. If payment cannot be charged to your credit card or your charge is returned to Disney for any reason, including chargeback, Disney reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your access and Account.

PARENTAL CONSENT
Under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), parental consent is required for the online collection, use and/or disclosure of personal information obtained from a child under the age of thirteen (13). When purchasing the Service, the Account Holder may be asked to provide a valid credit card. If paying by credit card, children will need to have a parent or legal guardian register as the Account Holder. By providing his or her credit card number, the Account Holder: (a) represents and warrants that he or she will be the Account Holder; (b) represents and warrants that he or she is the parent or legal guardian of any child under the age of thirteen (13) for whom he or she allows to use the Account; and (c) agrees to our collection, use and disclosure of personal information in accordance with the Privacy Policy [http://disney.go.com/corporate/legal/wdig_privacy.html] with respect to any child under the age of thirteen (13) for whom the Account Holder allows to use the Account.

NOTICE
The Account Holder will submit, maintain, and keep up to date a correct e-mail address and other Account information. Without waiving or excusing Member’s obligation to review the terms of this Agreement (including the Terms of Use and House Rules) for changes, we may give notice to the Account Holder by means of a general notice on the Service, electronic mail to your e-mail address on record in our Account information, by written communication sent by first-class mail to your address on record in our Account information or by any other method that is designed to provide reasonable notice to Members. You may give notice to Disney. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Disney at any time by e-mail at [email protected].

AUTOMATED GAMEPLAY AND OTHER CHEATING METHODS
Use of any software, code, device or other mechanism that allows automated gameplay, expedited gameplay, or other manipulation of gameplay or game client will result in immediate termination of the Account. Disney reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to determine what constitutes manipulation of gameplay or game client.

NON-VERIFIABILITY OF CONTENT AND AFFIRMATIVE OBLIGATION TO REPORT ABUSE
Disney does not represent or endorse the accuracy or reliability of any advice, opinion, statement, or other information displayed, uploaded, or distributed through the Service by any user, information provider, or other third-party individual or entity. You acknowledge that any reliance upon any such opinion, advice, statement, memorandum, or information shall be at your sole risk. Disney reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to correct any errors or omissions in any portion of the Service.
Disney has limited ability, if any, to oversee the quality, safety, morality, legality, truthfulness or accuracy of the content of communications between users. You therefore have an obligation to report all inappropriate behavior to Disney immediately. If you continue to have problematic interactions with other users, then you must stop using the Service immediately.

TERMINATION OF SERVICE
This Agreement is effective until terminated by either party. You may terminate this Agreement and your right to use the Service at any time by calling our customer service center at (877) 427-7744, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. (ET) or Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. (ET).

Maybe I misinterpret some of this...but according to Automated Gameplay and cheating methods...isn't glitching against the rules??? And what about the Personal info under the age of 13?? What about those of us that are of legal age? Confusing.....IMHO

Thank you Chris for clearing that up...Big D has the absolute power to determine game manipulation. I guess it was just too much for me to comprehend at once...lol

Back when Wall-E came out Big D had a website for the fictional corporation Buy n Large (the corp. that made the robots in the movie). I went there on a lark and looked around one night. I found the terms of use so funny that I copied them.

But looking at the POTCO terms, those BnL terms aren't quite as funny as the used to be. But here they are. Remember...these are fictional terms of use, for a fictional company, on a decomissioned website:

Quote:
In order to access services through our site, you must provide us with certain personal information such as your name, your Vari-Credit number and expiration date, your Vari-Credit billing address, your telephone number, your e-mail address and the name or names of the person(s) in your immediate family. We may also ask you for other personal information, such as your medical history.

All acquired customer information becomes the property of the Buy n Large corporation and can be used (but is not limited to) any venture the Buy n Large Corporation deems beneficial to it. By visiting Buy n Large (or a Buy n Large partner) the user agrees to relinquish (if requested) any personal assets that may be deemed "usable" by the Buy n Large Corporation; this includes (but is not limited to) real estate, stock holdings, user transportation, employment income and the users "soul" (either real or imagined, regardless of spiritual or religious affiliation).

By visiting the Buy n Large website you become a registered member of the Buy n Large Database. You may not unsubscribe to this database at any time.

Buy n Large will share your personal information with third parties whenever it deems such sharing to be advantageous to it, including when you engage in certain activities on our site such as using a menu, viewing, clicking your mouse or breathing. Buy n Large will also share your personal information when you respond to promotional materials from Buy n Large and authorize a third party to use your personal information for purposes such as, for example, sending you additional promotional materials that further obligate you (and your family) to receive additional promotional materials, providing you a product or service, or entering you in a contest, sweepstakes or game that will usually require a financial obligation on the part of the user.

By visiting Buy n Large you are contractually obligated to read all email that is sent to you via the Buy n Large servers. Failure to do so will be considered of a breach of contract.

We automatically log all information about your computer's connection to the Internet, which we call "Buy n Large Property". Buy n Large Property consists of things such as IP address, operating system and type of browser software being used and the activities conducted by the user while on our site (or other sites). We may also use some of the Buy n Large Property, such as the pages you visited on our site (or other sites), to send you e-mail messages (such as "Buy n Large requires you to join our Buy n Large Corporate Street Team. Failure to do so will result in legal action") focused on products that we feel you should (or must) be interested in and now are contractually obligated to be interested in.

From time to time we may add or enhance services available on the site to increase our market share. We will use the information you provide to increase our market share and facilitate any program that is deemed beneficial to the Buy n Large Corporation. For example, if you email us with a question, we will use your email address, name, nature of the question, etc. to assist the Buy n Large Corporation in acquiring new assets. This includes using your question and likeness in publicity materials as the submission of any data to the Buy n Large Corporation immediately transfers your status as a "user" to "Promotional Entity". This status is life long and binding. Please see the Promotional Entity contract at BuynLarge.com for more information on your obligations.

Wow, makes sense. One of my friends logged into his lvl 40 pirate and found all his friends had been deleted & he was no longer a member of the guild he was an officer of. He called and they said that he must've deleted all his friends and left his guild which he never did either of those things. And he's someone who plays almost every day not some dead acct. I got lucky & ran into him again during SvS.

Yep.
I agree with it but I don't believe disney would terminate our account for no reason.

They'll give us a reason.
Ex. Being banned for third party use or mean or rude behavior.
