Terms of Service

Last Modified: December 29, 2013

By connecting to our websites or logging in to our Minecraft server, you agree to abide by all Rules and follow directions from staff members, in addition to the terms below.

Be aware that each server in the buzzplanet Community, may have their own set of rules. In a case where a server has its own set of rules, you MUST abide by BOTH this ToS, ANY general buzzplanet rules AND the server specific rules.

Right now we do not have a server publicly available, therefore you may disregard the server specific parts of this ToS.

Definitions

"Staff" are defined as users ranked as Admins/Mods and Overlord/Co-Owner/Owner.

"Content" includes, but is not limited to:

  • player datafiles
  • anything created or obtained while playing on the buzzplanet server such as
    • player or container inventories
    • images, such as screenshots
    • builds (block placements or manipulations)
  • anything at all (text, images, etc.) submitted to:
    • buzzplanet.enjin.com
    • buzzplanet.shoutwiki.com
    • buzzplanet staff or server email accounts
    • buzzplanet Forum
    • Any other buzzplanet affiliated online or offline asset or contact medium.
  • your username and likeness (buzzplanet does not have access to nor does it make any claims on your Minecraft password or account. This clause refers only to your username itself, and any skins or images or other depictions of yourself or your character made available to buzzplanet.)

Donations

buzzplanet Minecraft server is 100% free. Donations are completely optional. Donations will not necessarily confer any special status to those donating to the server. By donating to buzzplanet Minecraft server, you agree to the Terms of Service and this action does not give you authority or power above the Terms of Service. A repayment of your donation will not be made under any circumstances.

Content Licensing

All content, as defined above, may be retained, removed, or relocated at the discretion of server staff. By submitting content to buzzplanet's websites (including, but not limited to, buzzplanet.enjin.com and buzzplanet.shoutwiki.com), by submitting content to staff or server email accounts or other contact media, or by creating content on our Minecraft server, you grant us perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable rights to use, copy, modify, adapt, distribute, prepare derivative works of, perform, or publicly display that content. You also represent and warrant that you are the owner of or have the right to post your content, and that the submission or nature of your content does not infringe the rights of any third party. Any damages resulting from such infringements are exclusively the liability of the user who submitted said content. (Since buzzplanet is not currently a legally recognized corporation, this includes content as individually submitted by any particular staff members).

These terms should not in any way be interpreted to imply a transfer of copyright or other intellectual rights from the creator of any content supplied to or created on buzzplanet. However, our license (as described above) for your work does mean that we have the right to partially or fully move, delete, or change any content as it exists on our server, at any time, and without warning or permission. Depending on the degree of changes made, you recognize that our actions may also result in a change in copyright ownership or intellectual property rights on the altered content as a result of sufficiently derivative alteration. We also have the right to deny you access to your content as it exists on our server. In the special case of "builds" in-game, we will typically provide NBT minecraft schematic files to the creator of the "build," upon request. Unreasonable requests (as determined by buzzplanet staff) may not be honored, however. Examples of unreasonable requests might be requests for builds that are trivially small, that no longer exist, or that have been significantly altered by other builders so as to no longer be "your" builds.

Termination and Suspension of Access

Players found violating the Terms of Service may find their accounts or IP addresses restricted or eliminated from buzzplanet Minecraft server and related websites. This includes, but is not limited to, buzzplanet.shoutwiki.com and buzzplanet.enjin.com. In addition, staff retain the right to kick you, ban you, or block your access to the server or any other affiliated websites or services for any other reason, without explanation or warning.

In particular, players found repeatedly asking questions covered by the FAQ may be banned without further warning.

While players may appeal their bans as a courtesy, server staff retain the right to revoke any request for a ban appeal.
