Schedule No. 3 to the User Agreement
SAFE AND FAIR PLAY
To ensure our game is fair and fun for everyone, we do not tolerate cheating, indecent or fraudulent behavior.
Fraudulent service providers are often involved in illegal activity, hacking and scams; these activities hurt innocent people, in addition to being unfair to other players.
To help us create a great gaming environment, and to safeguard your account and device from abuse, please steer clear of the following dangers:
1. THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE
Third party software consists of unapproved apps that manipulate gameplay. By altering game functionality, third party software aims to provide unfair advantages while potentially putting players’ ccounts and privacy at risk.
Third party software includes:
Hacks, “mods”, or programs that unfairly alter game functionality
“Bots”, or gameplay automation services or scripts
Any other programs that aim to modify or provide unearned progress
2. BUYING & SELLING GAME ACCOUNTS
Account salespeople advertise advanced accounts, and bait players eager to progress in gameplay with tantalizing and unrealistic promises.
The risks surrounding account sales are:
The seller may take your money and never give you the account
You cannot be sure that the seller won’t continue using the account
They may be selling the same account to multiple people
The account status is unknown; it could already be poised for permanent ban
The account will never be secure; the Operator cannot provide support for compromised accounts
If you choose to spend money on the account, it will still never actually belong to you
3. INDECENT BEHAVIOR
In the Game, in voice and text chats, as well as in the official groups of the Game on social networks, the following actions are prohibited:
1.1. The use of profanity, veiled profanity, other obscene language, insulting other people.

1.12. Actions or posting of information that, in the opinion of the Operator, violate the law, norms of morality and ethics, or are undesirable.
CONSEQUENCES
Fraudulent and indecent behavior, cheating and any related commercial actions surrounding our game are strictly prohibited. In addition to the very real danger of a compromised account, participating in any of the above practices will lead to penalties such as temporary game suspension and even permanent closure of the game account, as well as blocking access to multiplayer services.
We cannot provide support for game accounts that have been involved in fraudulent behavior, or in cases where a fraudulent service provider has compromised an account.
Please keep your account safe by avoiding all of these issues. It really isn’t worth your time or money.
