Accounts

Exhibited is a game intended for children of 13 and older, so minors under the age of 13 will need permission from a parent or guardian before they sign-up and start playing the game. Upon signup, Exhibited will ask for your date of birth to properly target your account to age-appropriate features in game.

Exhibited stores and collects your IP address and email address; though only for account activation, retrieving lost passwords and email newsletters.

Email and IP addresses will not be shared with any third-party unless legal action needs to be taken, in which case Exhibited reserves the right to do so.

Users may not have more than two accounts at any one time. Should additionals be found they may be banned appropriately and warnings given to the remaining accounts. Should the offense be repeated action may be taken to permanently ban all the user's accounts.

Exhibited stresses that the sharing of accounts is forbidden due to players being "cheated out" of money by passing on their account login information to someone they thought they could trust. Any users found to be apparently sharing accounts, asking for someone else's account login information or found on another user's account may be banned without notice.

Logging into accounts that do not belong to you without permission is considered hacking and will be punishable, including but not limited to a permenant ban from the site.

The impersonation of staff members or other users upon Exhibited is strictly forbidden.
