The rules of the sea. By making an account or playing, you agree to them.
What this is
Pirates Online: New Horizons is a free fan project that keeps a closed game playable. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Disney. Pirates of the Caribbean and the original game belong to Disney. We charge nothing and sell nothing, and nobody may sell access to the game, its accounts or anything in it.
Your account
- You must be 13 or older.
- One person to an account. Don't share, sell or trade it.
- Keep your password to yourself, and use one you don't use elsewhere. We will never ask you for it.
- Give an email address that's yours: it's how you get back in if you forget your password.
How to behave
- Treat other players decently. No harassment, hate, threats or sexual talk, in chat or in the names of pirates, ships and guilds.
- Don't ask others for their personal details or their passwords, and don't post anyone's.
- Play the game as it's given to you. No cheats, bots, altered game files, or use of faults in the game to gain by them. If you find a fault, report it.
- Don't attack, flood or probe the game's servers or this site, or try to reach other people's accounts.
What we may do
We may warn, mute or close an account that breaks these rules, and remove names that break them. A closed account is told why on its account page. If you think we got it wrong, get in touch with us.
What to expect
The game is run by volunteers and is still being built. It may be down, may lose progress, and may change or end. It comes as it is, with no promise that it will suit a purpose or stay up, and to the extent the law allows we aren't liable for loss that comes from using it. Nothing you have in the game has money value or is yours to sell.
Your details
The privacy page says what we keep and why.
Changes
If these terms change in a way that matters, we'll say so on the home page before it takes effect. Carrying on playing after that means you agree to them.
