You may not sell or otherwise transfer them to anyone, or distribute them or aggregate them on any other site, without the prior written consent of KANO.

(b)All KANO user profiles, character actions and content in or on the chat boxes and message boards are created by our users and not by KANO. If you post distasteful, insulting, sexually explicit, racially disparaging, religiously disparaging or other inappropriate content, KANO reserves the right (but not the obligation) to delete it from the Site without notice and to freeze or close your account without any refund of previously purchased virtual currency (including, but not limited to, favour points, UN credits, and other credits) or other virtual items.

Finally, if you ask for another user’s password or personally identifiable information, for any reason, your account can be frozen or terminated. If you see anything inappropriate on the Site, or if anyone sends you a message that makes you uncomfortable or asks for your password, please contact KANO at Support.

Such User Content and/or Modifications posted at your or other users’ direction need not, however, be maintained on the Site by us for any period of time and you may not have the right, once posted, to access, archive, maintain or otherwise use such User Content and/or Modifications on the Site.

If you think that there is a message on the Forum that is libellous, constitutes impersonation or otherwise violates these Terms of Use and should therefore be removed, please send an email to Support. Please make sure to include the exact URL of the subject post(s) because the title of the post(s) is often insufficient for us to identify and locate the subject post(s).
