Legal

We generally don’t like legalese but like any other specialized tool in the world, there’s a place for it.

 

The Game is Free and Provided As-Is

Nirvana does not solicit payment for one-time or reoccurring costs. At no point will the administration demand payment for connection services rendered. Nirvana is also not held liable under a service level agreement, since there is not any furnished.

 

Mature Content Warning

As Nirvana is purely a text based game, there is no pornographic material accessible within. By connecting to this game, you acknowledge that you are at least 13 years of age, and are authorized to use a computer by parental or guardian consent.

On an informal level, think of the type of conversational chatter within Nirvana to be akin to that of a reputable sports bar type of establishment. The ages of players run the gamut from young adults, and old retired folk. The content of the game itself ranges from general audience level (typically newbie realms), to PG (Parental Guidance recommended), to an occasional R-rated content- mostly in the aspects of fictional action and violence.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone. We do not operate this game in a commercial capacity.

We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about system outages, other similar emergency information, or changes to this privacy policy.

Your Access to and Control Over Information
You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do this in the following manner:

Security
It must be noted that connections to Nirvana LPMud are made in the unencrypted TELNET networking protocol, which is a legacy specification that does not support end to end encryption.

You are advised to not utilize a username and password which is similar to any existing username and password which you currently employ.

Only game administrators are able to see your hash encrypted password, generally while performing a specific job (for example, password resets, or restoring backup characters). The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment, but network traffic to the game is broadcast in the clear so users must take care not to divulge sensitive financial, medical, or other personally identifiable information.
