Welcome to Phanxgames's Game Service, allowing access to our games. Our Game Service is the product of hard work on the behalf of Phanxgames and its staff. All use of Phanxgames's proprietary Game Service on-line service is governed by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement including any future revisions. Any use of Game Service not in accordance with the Terms and Use is expressly prohibited. You represent that you are a 'natural person' who is over the age of sixteen (16) years old, or over the age of majority in the country where you are a citizen, and agree to these Terms of Use on behalf of solely yourself.
1. Establishment of a Phanxgames Account.
A. You may establish one (1) user account with which to access the Game Service by following the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in this Agreement. In order to establish an Account, you must be a 'Natural Person,' who is the age of majority in the country where you are a citizen. Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, partnerships, or any other form of legal entity other than that of a "natural person" may not establish an account, and by accepting this Agreement, you hereby represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements. You may not share the Account with anyone. You are liable for all uses of the Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you acknowledge and agree that you shall have no ownership or other property interest in the Account, and you further acknowledge and agree that all rights in and to the Account are and shall forever be owned by Phanxgames.
B. To register an Account to access the Game Service, you will be required to provide Phanxgames with: (i) your name; (ii) your E-mail Address in which you can check regularly and is in fact a real E-mail Address which you own. Failure to comply with providing an actual E-mail Address in which you own shall constitute a breach of this Agreement, which may result in the immediate termination and deletion of the Account. As such, it is imperative that you provide Phanxgames with an accurate, up to date E-mail Address. In the event that Phanxgames learns that you have provided false or misleading registration information, Phanxgames reserves the right to immediately terminate and disable or delete the Account.
C. During the registration process, you will be required to provide a username and a password that are specific to the Account. Your Password is to be kept confidential at all times and you are solely responsible for the security of your Password.

Phanxgames is not responsible for any harm that may result to the Account (including without limitation the deletion or modification of characters in the Account) as a result of a lost or shared password.
D. Phanxgames does not recognize the transfer of Accounts and will result in the permanent deletion of the Account. You may not offer any Account for sale or trade, and any such offer is a violation of this Agreement and may result in suspension or termination of the Account.
