* Introduction

Welcome to the game otPokemon.com!

It is important to highlight that otPokemon.com is fruit of a independent society, with free and non-profit utilization.

Our aim is to spread the anime and manga to all the people, respecting the autor's copyrights and trademarks.

All images, logos and names referring to the anime belong to the brand owners.

Nobody is forced to play otPokemon.com. If you do not agree to these rules, do not play and do not donate.

The rules exist for a better organization of the game and so there will be mutual respect among the players.

* Considerations and general rules:

The otPokemon.com team, gamemasters, tutors and contributors will try in every way to organize the game, but it is impossible to control all messages, problems, etc.

We do not ensure the system functionality nor that there will not be losses for the player. Every time you notice a instability in the system, keep your items in a safe place so there will not be irrecoverable losses.

The game rules may be modified without notice, you must check them whenever possible.

Always use a "strong" password (with letters, points and random interleaved numbers) and also use a good anti-virus. The team does everything possible to avoid and suspends the suspicious accounts, but "Hack" cases are not ensured by the team in any case.

Never click external links. Be careful with fake websites. All the news will only be posted in the official website, http://facebook.com/otpokemon and https://facebook.com/otpokemon.

otPokemon.com, for safety reasons, registers the players IPs, logs and talk commands (all typed buttons will be registered).

The accounts and logs will be otPokemon.com property.

Depending on the rule violation weight or when some fact are considered a crime by the Penal Code the account may be definitely suspended.

For support contact the email "contato@otpokemon.com", always send the CHARACTER name.

In case of system crash or excessive lags caused by attacks to the network/servers, unfortunately it is not possible to recover the CATCHES and/or items you may lose because the system logs will also be lost.

After the second grave punition (bot caused banishment, offense or bug abuse), the account may be immediately deleted.

When identified a bot or similar software usage the account may be immediately deleted.

In case you find any problem or have any doubts, look for a tutor, gamemaster or the game administration by sending an email to contato@otpokemon.com.
