You acknowledge and agree that we have the right to transfer your character information and role files in the game to other game servers according to our own business arrangements.

If parents (guardians) agree that minors (especially children under ten years old) use products and services, they must apply for registration of our Account in the name of parents (guardians). When using products and services, parents (guardians) shall judge whether the products and services are suitable for minors as guardians. If you are under 18 years old (or we cannot identify your age), you will be bound by the "Minor Parental Guardianship System". When the guardian provides sufficient evidence to prove that the actual user of the account is a minor, we have the right to restrict the game account created or used by you associated with our Account according to relevant rules and the guardian's request, including but not limited to temporarily or permanently freezing the account, partially or completely terminating the provision of our various products and services.

(2) The "Game Anti-Addiction System" regulates the behavior of users playing games for a long time continuously by gradually deducting in-game benefits according to the continuous game time;
(3) You need to provide true and complete information so that we can identify your identity and submit real-name authentication information to relevant departments. If the consequences are caused by providing untrue materials, you shall bear them yourself.
6.4.

Due to the inevitable limitations of technology and the influence of external factors on all links of system operation, we do not guarantee that there are no loopholes in each system, that each system can operate normally at any time, or that the guardianship or authentication effect fully meets the user's needs. We do not provide any express or implied guarantees beyond those explicitly stipulated by applicable laws, and shall not be liable for this.
