Section II – About GoneMushing

GoneMushing is an interactive web browser game that simulates objectives relevant to owning, racing, and breeding sled dogs. The subject matter related to the plot of the Game (including currency, animals, items, brands, events, people, community, and etcetera) is fictional and retains absolutely no value outside of this Website. Therefore, you cannot sell fictitious game material (including gold, diamonds, dogs, teams, items, and etcetera) for United States Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen, or any other foreign exchange.

The framework of the Game, and all other content on this Website is copyrighted to Me. You may not use, save, copy, alter, modify, reproduce, distribute, trade, lease, sell, plagiarize, pilfer, hotlink or bootleg any text, software, script, formula, file, design, image, artwork, or illustration that you find on GoneMushing.

You are using the Game at your own risk. GoneMushing and I will not be held liable or provide compensation for, any damage, loss, and/or harm, whether physical, emotional, or intellectual, which may occur as a result of accessing this Website.

Section III – The Rules

Accessing an account is a privilege that may be revoked if you fail to adhere to these Terms of Service. A “moderator” is a person, being at least eighteen (18) years of age, which has volunteered to manage player content and enforce these Terms of Service. Moderators have special account features, which give them the authority to reprimand rule breakers, and penalize accounts with warnings, fines, restrictions, suspensions, or deactivation. Each violation of these Terms of Service is unique, and every offense will, therefore, be handled individually and on a case-by-case basis.
