REC.ZONE is a community platform connecting players of the game Rec Room. It provides news, development updates, a members directory, a support system, and a real-time community chat.

5. User Content
You retain ownership of content you post on REC.ZONE. By posting content (including messages, profile information, images, and other uploads), you grant REC.ZONE a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, store, and distribute that content solely for the purpose of operating the Site.
You represent that you own or have the right to post any content you submit, and that it does not violate any third-party rights or applicable law. We are not responsible for user-generated content and expressly disclaim any liability arising from it.
Content you post in the public chat is visible to all logged-in members. Exercise appropriate caution when sharing personal information publicly.
6. Intellectual Property
All original content on the Site — including but not limited to logos, design, graphics, text, and software — is the property of REC.ZONE and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes only.
You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from any REC.ZONE content without express written permission.
7. Third-Party Accounts and Links
The Site allows you to connect third-party accounts (such as Discord) to your REC.ZONE profile. By doing so, you acknowledge that information may be exchanged with those services in accordance with their own terms and privacy policies. REC.ZONE is not responsible for the practices of any third-party service.
The Site may contain links to external websites. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for those sites or their content.
8. Moderation and Enforcement
REC.ZONE has a team of moderators and administrators responsible for enforcing these Terms and our Community Rules. We reserve the right to warn, mute, suspend, or permanently ban any account — and to remove any content — at our discretion. Severe violations (including illegal activity, threats, or repeated abuse) may result in an IP-level ban and, where required, referral to law enforcement.
If you believe a moderation action was taken in error, you may appeal by contacting support@rec.zone. We will review your appeal but are not obligated to reverse any decision.
9. Electronic Communications
By using the Site or contacting us by email, you consent to receiving communications from us electronically. You agree that such electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing.

THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, REC.ZONE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

13. Dispute Resolution
Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Site that cannot be resolved informally shall be settled by binding arbitration administered under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration shall take place on an individual basis — class actions and collective proceedings are not permitted. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA. You consent to jurisdiction in Washington for any matter not subject to arbitration.

- All donations are voluntary and non-refundable. Once a donation is processed, no refunds will be issued under any circumstances, including but not limited to dissatisfaction with the Site, account termination or banning, or discontinuation of the Site.
- Donations do not constitute a purchase of goods or services and do not entitle you to any guaranteed benefit, feature, or perk in return.
- Donations are processed by Ko-fi and subject to Ko-fi's own terms of service and privacy policy. REC.ZONE is not responsible for payment processing errors or disputes handled by Ko-fi.
