Terms of Service

Last updated: March 31, 2026 | Effective immediately

Welcome to COMMONWEALTH: Worlds at War ("the Game"), operated by ABCD Systems LLC ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account or using the Game, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Game.

1. Eligibility & Age Requirements

The Game is available to players of all ages, with content restrictions based on age verification status:

1.1 — Standard Mode (All Players)

All players, regardless of age, may access the Game in Standard Mode. Standard Mode content is rated equivalent to ESRB Teen (T): fantasy violence, mild language, and strategic gameplay. All character appearances in Standard Mode use PG-13 appropriate attire.

1.2 — Adult Content Mode (18+ Only)

Players who verify their age as 18 or older may optionally enable Adult Content Mode, which provides access to additional cosmetic character skins featuring swimwear, lingerie, and other mature-themed attire. Adult Content Mode is rated equivalent to ESRB Mature (M). Adult content is strictly cosmetic and does not affect gameplay.

IMPORTANT: Adult content never includes nudity, pornography, or sexually explicit material. The maximum exposure level is equivalent to swimwear (e.g., bikini). All character models maintain minimum coverage at all times.

1.3 — Players Under 18

Under-18 Player Protections — these cannot be disabled or overridden:
Under-18 players always see PG-13 standard attire on ALL characters, including opponents and teammates, regardless of what those players have equipped.
Under-18 players cannot access, purchase, or view adult-themed character skins. These items do not appear in their game interface.
Under-18 players cannot send or receive direct/private messages. All communication occurs in public channels only.
Under-18 players cannot access voice chat.
Under-18 player usernames are displayed in green in all chat channels to identify them as minors to other players.
Adult skin assets are never downloaded to devices of under-18 players.

1.4 — Players Under 13 (COPPA Compliance)

Players under 13 years of age require parental or guardian consent to create an account. We collect minimal personal information from players under 13: username, parent/guardian email address, and age bracket. We do not collect real names, physical addresses, photographs, or precise location data from players under 13. Parents or guardians may request account deletion at any time by contacting support@abcdsystems.com.

2. Account Responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You agree not to share your account with others or allow others to access your account. Each person must have their own account. Account selling, trading, or transferring is prohibited.

3. Code of Conduct

By using the Game, you agree to the following rules of conduct:

3.1 — Chat & Communication

No pornographic, sexually explicit, or obscene content in any chat channel.
No harassment, bullying, threats, or hate speech directed at any player.
No sharing of personal information (yours or others') including real names, addresses, phone numbers, school names, or social media accounts in public chat.
No attempts to move conversations with under-18 players to private channels, off-platform messaging services, or real-world meetings.
No impersonation of administrators, moderators, or other players.
No spam, advertising, or solicitation.

ZERO TOLERANCE: Any attempt to groom, solicit, exploit, or engage in inappropriate behavior with under-18 players will result in immediate permanent ban, hardware fingerprint ban, and referral to appropriate law enforcement authorities. We actively monitor communications involving under-18 players using automated and AI-assisted detection systems.

3.2 — Fair Play

No use of macros, bots, scripts, or automated gameplay tools.
No exploitation of bugs or glitches for personal advantage (report them instead — we reward bug reporters).
No modification of the game client, memory editing, speed hacking, or position spoofing.
No item duplication, gold generation, or manipulation of the game economy through exploits.
No account sharing or multi-accounting to gain competitive advantage.

3.3 — Anti-Cheat Monitoring

The Game uses server-authoritative architecture and multi-layered anti-cheat detection including statistical anomaly analysis, item origin verification, and AI-assisted behavioral review. Players found to be cheating are subject to the following graduated response:

Observation: Account placed under monitoring. A [?] indicator may appear on your public player card.
Warning: A cease-and-desist notice displayed for 3 days upon each login. Items gained during the flagged period may be held in escrow.
Suspension: 7-day account suspension. Progression during the flagged period is rolled back.
Permanent Ban: Account permanently disabled. All associated hardware fingerprints logged.

3.4 — Bug Reporting Rewards

We encourage responsible disclosure of bugs and exploits. Players who report valid bugs receive in-game rewards scaled to severity (100 to 10,000 Gold plus items). Players who discover exploits and report them instead of abusing them receive the "Honorable" badge — a permanent, visible mark of integrity. Self-reported exploits are never punished.

4. Purchases & Virtual Currency

The Game offers optional cosmetic purchases. All character unlocks, progression, levels, items, and gameplay content are earned through gameplay. No gameplay advantage can be purchased.

Character skins: $1.99 each — cosmetic only, no stat changes.
Other cosmetics: Card backs, lane themes, victory poses, emotes — cosmetic only.
Virtual currency (Gold, Gems): Earned through gameplay. Cannot be purchased with real money.

All purchases are final. Refund requests may be submitted to support@abcdsystems.com and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

5. Content Moderation

All in-game chat is subject to automated content filtering using keyword detection, pattern matching, and AI-assisted review. Messages containing prohibited content are blocked before delivery. Repeated violations result in escalating consequences: warning → temporary mute → permanent chat restriction.

Chat involving under-18 players (identified by green username color) is subject to elevated monitoring rates. This monitoring is automated and designed to detect grooming patterns, inappropriate content, and attempts to isolate minors from public channels.

6. Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Please review our Privacy Policy for details on data collection, use, and protection. Key points:

We collect minimal personal information: username, email, age bracket, and gameplay data.
We do not sell personal information to third parties.
We use Brevo for transactional email only (account notifications, support replies).
Age verification data is processed securely and not retained beyond verification.
Players may request account deletion at any time.

7. Intellectual Property

All content in COMMONWEALTH: Worlds at War — including characters, artwork, music, voice lines, game mechanics, and code — is the intellectual property of ABCD Systems LLC. Players may create and share gameplay screenshots and videos for personal and non-commercial use. Commercial use (streaming, content creation) is permitted with attribution.

8. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, including but not limited to: cheating, harassment, grooming behavior, fraud, or any activity that threatens the safety of other players. Permanent bans may include hardware fingerprint bans to prevent account recreation.

9. Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability

The Game is provided "as is" without warranty. We do our best to maintain service availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We are not liable for lost progress due to technical issues, though we will make reasonable efforts to restore data and may compensate affected players via the admin gifting system.
