Welcome to Eternis. By registering an account, downloading, or playing our game ("Service" or "Services"), you agree to the following Terms of Service, End User License Agreement (EULA), and Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not access or use the Services.

PART I: TERMS OF SERVICE & EULA

1. Acceptance of Terms and Age Requirements

By accessing Eternis, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. You must be at least 16 years of age to create an account. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, your parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Account Registration & Security

• Account Ownership: You do not own your account. You are granted a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the account to access Eternis.
• Security: You are strictly responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. Eternis Administration is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account.
• Account Trading: Selling, trading, or transferring accounts to other individuals is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate permanent suspension.

3. Virtual Currency & In-Game Purchases (Payments)

Eternis utilizes two primary currencies: Sesterces (earned in-game) and Gold (purchasable premium currency). The following rules apply to all financial transactions:

• No Real-World Value: Virtual currencies (Gold and Sesterces) and virtual items hold no real-world monetary value. They cannot be exchanged for fiat currency, transferred outside the game, or sold to third parties.
• License to Use: When you purchase Gold, you are not buying a physical or digital asset; you are purchasing a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use the virtual currency within the Eternis ecosystem.
• All Sales are Final: Unless required by regional consumer protection laws, all purchases are final and non-refundable.
• Chargebacks & Fraud: Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute through your bank, credit card provider, or payment gateway (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) without contacting our support team first will result in an immediate, automated, and permanent ban of your account.
• KYC/AML Compliance: To prevent fraud and comply with international Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws, high-volume transactions may be subject to identity verification by our authorized third-party payment processors.

4. Code of Conduct & Fair Play

To maintain a fair and enjoyable environment for all Eternis, you agree NOT to:

• Use cheats, exploits, automation software (bots), hacks, or any unauthorized third-party software designed to modify the game experience or play the game for you (including bypassing the idle mechanics).
• Engage in toxic behavior, harassment, hate speech, or real-life threats against other players or Eternis staff.
• Exploit game bugs for an unfair advantage. Bugs must be reported immediately on the forum or to support.
• Promote illegal activities or distribute malicious links within the game chat or forums.

5. Intellectual Property

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Services (including but not limited to lore, code, graphics, UI, music, and databases) are owned by Deepslash Studio / Eternis Administration. You may not copy, reverse-engineer, decompile, or distribute any part of the game client or website without explicit written permission.

6. Termination of Service

We reserve the right to suspend, modify, or terminate your account and access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any violation of these Terms. Upon termination, you will forfeit all in-game progress, Sesterces, Gold, and virtual items. No refunds will be provided for banned accounts.

6. Security

We have put in place reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access. However, we cannot guarantee that the current security measures are 100% perfect. We strongly discourage you from sharing your password or personal information publicly in the game or on the forum.

The Development Roadmap

Our development path consists of three primary stages. Please note that within each main stage, there will be several iterations and updates. We will not disclose the exact number of these sub-versions; we are only sharing the primary milestones with you today:

• May — Closed Beta Phase: This phase is strictly reserved for internal testing by the administration team, with the exception of one exclusively invited player who will participate in these early trials.
• 2nd of June — Open Beta: Accessible to the general public.
• 12th of August — Pre-Final Release: An advanced beta stage nearing completion.

Important Notes Regarding the Testing Phases:

Testing Accounts

The Closed Beta phase will be conducted using specific administrative accounts created solely for testing purposes.

Game Client

The client version used in the current testing phases is the current version you know, not our final version. We are keeping certain visual updates and new features hidden for now, so we can surprise you with them once we reach a more advanced stage.

System Integration

Not all game systems will be fully integrated immediately. We will clarify which systems are active with each new release announcement, alongside the patch notes and the results of each testing period.

Account Progress (Wipes)

As you transition to your own personal accounts during the Open Beta, please be aware that early progress will be subject to resets with certain restrictions. However, at an advanced stage of the beta, we will surprise you with the announcement that your progress has become permanent and will no longer be wiped.

Exclusive Rewards

Participants in these early stages will be monitored manually with great care. We are dedicated to rewarding your efforts, ultimately by making your accounts stand out; they will be unique and different from any ordinary account. Please rest assured that this distinction will not disrupt the game's balance or provide any unfair power advantages.

Final Note

Last but certainly not least, thank you for your ongoing support.

Your continued backing means the world to us.
