Terms of Service

Additional rules of conduct can be found in Community Standards.

The Halsoft Virtual Places Member Agreement is a legal document that details your rights and obligations as a Halsoft member. You cannot become a Halsoft Member until you have accepted the terms of the Member Agreement. You should also take the time to review the Halsoft Privacy Policy and the Halsoft Community Guidelines which reflect Halsoft's current policies. These policies may be updated or revised as conditions warrant, so you should review them regularly.

By joining Halsoft and accepting the Member Agreement you agree that Halsoft may change the terms of this Member Agreement. If Halsoft makes material changes or revisions to the Member Agreement, we will provide notice to you thirty days in advance. If you don't agree to the changes proposed by Halsoft, or to any of the terms in this Member Agreement, your only remedy is to cancel your Halsoft membership.

1. The Basics of your Halsoft membership

This Agreement is your entire agreement with Halsoft and governs your use of the Halsoft Chat service. To access the Halsoft service you must accept the terms of this Agreement and comply with the Halsoft Community Guidelines. To be a Halsoft member, you must be at least 18 years old. If you are not yet eighteen years old, you may still use Halsoft, but only if the account was created and registered by your parent or guardian.

When you accept this Agreement and complete the Halsoft registration process, you become the primary account holder, and Halsoft provides you with a limited, non-exclusive license for no more than the term of your membership to use the screen name you select for your primary account. Halsoft also allows you to have a number additional sub-accounts or screen names of your choice, depending on the account type you chose. You may not use a screen name that is used by someone else, and your screen name should not be vulgar, or be used in any way that violates the other parts of the Member Agreement or the Community Guidelines.

All communication to the primary account holder will be sent to the email address provided at the time of registration.

As the primary account holder, you are responsible for all activity on your account and on any of the sub-accounts, and violations or warnings accrued by the sub-account can lead to termination of the primary account. If warnings or violations are received by sub-accounts, the primary account may receive notification. You may also receive important notices about your membership from time to time that may not be provided to the sub-accounts, so it is important for you to regularly check your primary account email. Because you are responsible for all use of your account, you should supervise the use of your account by others. It is important that you not reveal your password to other users and Halsoft will never ask you for your password. You agree not to reveal your password to other users and you agree to indemnify and hold Halsoft harmless for any improper or illegal use of your account. This includes illegal or improper use by someone to whom you have given permission to use your account. If your membership is terminated for violating this Agreement or the Community Guidelines, Halsoft's express permission will be necessary before you are allowed to use Halsoft Chat again.

2. Charges

Halsoft reserves the right to change our fees or billing methods at any time and Halsoft will provide notice of any such change at least thirty days in advance in the same manner described above for changes to the Member Agreement. Halsoft also has the right to collect applicable taxes and impose premium surcharges for some areas of the service should these areas become available. If you don't like the changes in fees or billing methods, you may cancel your membership at any time, but Halsoft will not refund any remaining portion of the monthly fee when you cancel your membership

As the primary account holder, you are responsible for all charges incurred, including applicable taxes and purchases made by you or anyone you allow to use your account or sub-accounts, including your children, other members of your family, or friends.

3. Online conduct and content

Halsoft is not responsible for content available on the Internet, although we reserve the right to block access to any Internet area containing illegal or other harmful content or otherwise being used for purposes that are unlawful or injurious to Halsoft or its members.

Some of the content available via the Halsoft service is created by Members. Halsoft encourages Members to participate and express their opinions. But it is important to remember that there are rules and standards that you must abide by as a Halsoft Member. These rules and standards are described in the Halsoft Community Guidelines. As a Halsoft Member, you agree to follow the Halsoft Community Guidelines and you acknowledge that Halsoft has the right to enforce them in its sole discretion. This means that if you, or anyone using your account, violate the Halsoft Community Guidelines, Halsoft may take action against your account. This can range from the issuance of a warning about a violation to the termination of your account. You understand Halsoft is not required to provide notice prior to terminating your account for violating these rules and standards, but it may choose to do so. The Community Guidelines may change at any time, so you should review them regularly.
