==Game rules==
Grepolis ("the game") is an online cross-platform game developed and distributed by InnoGames GmbH ("InnoGames"). The game can be used by you as a User ("player") via computers, mobile devices, consoles, access points to the Internet, virtual or real networks ("means of connections") and can be played under certain game rules ("the rules") to ensure a fair game play experience for all players. As a player of Grepolis, you may register an account allowing you to access multiple game servers ("game worlds"). The rules are defined by InnoGames and applied by the support and moderation team of InnoGames ("the team"). By registering an account on the game, you are committed to follow the rules. The team will ensure that the terms of the rules are met by warnings and punishments ("bans"). A player that has bought gold will be subjected to the same rules and bans as all other players.
You can find the [http://www.grepolis.net/start/rules/ Games rules] on our site too.  


===One Account per player===
===§2) Account Usage===
Players may play in each world with only one account. The giving out of an accounts password is forbidden at anytime. A game account may only be controlled by a single player.
Examples:


* Players may use a single computer for more than one account however these players sharing a connection must note Rule 2.
Each player can play, in each world, with only one account. Players are not allowed to use other players' accounts.
* It is forbidden to control another account even if its player is absent for any reason.
* It is forbidden to attempt an unauthorized log in to other accounts.


===Several players on a single internet connection===
''An account can be gifted to another person only with the written consent of the team that can deny this change''. Once this is accepted it is no longer possible to revert. It is forbidden to use an account for financial gain.
If two or more players use a single internet connection or computer, joint interactions with a third players are permitted only if 48 hours have passed after the previous action. The rule applies to everyone that play on a single computer or network, such as the same household, work place or a school. It is not important if this is a common or a rare activity.
Examples:


* Player A and B share an internet connection in their workplace. They both want to attack player C, a nearby low level Polis.  They must wait 48 between their attacks. Player A could attack five times in two hours but when Player B wants to attck he must wait until 48 hours have passed since Player A's last attack.
As the game is localized in several versions, players shall always use the language (LANGUAGE) in this version, this applies, but is not limited to messages, player profiles and such.
* Players E and F share a network at home. Both want to send resources to Player G, an ally. Forty eight hours after the resources of the Player E have arrived Player F may send his.  


===Communication===
Advertising of any kind is not allowed, this includes using any means to mass deliver messages.
Insults against other players are not allowed. Politically extreme, pornographic or otherwise unlawful or inappropriate material is prohibited in the game, as well as links to such material. We also do not allow advertisements/links to other web based games, referral systems or money making schemes. This concerns every area of the game where players can post their own text or graphics.
Examples:


* It is allowed to call a player a beginner (noob).
'''Examples:'''

===Account Sales===

===Bugs===
Players, knowingly, sharing an Internet connection and/or a device and operating accounts on the same world must declare a shared connection (this is done on the game settings).
Each player is required to report critical errors immediately to the game support.  Taking advantage of a bug will result in being excluded from the game or an appropriate punishment.  
Examples:


* If you notice that a Polis produces more resources than it should you must report it.
It is not permitted for players sharing a means of connection to interact with each other within the game (be it, but not limited to attacking, supporting, spell casting, trading).  
* If you notice a spelling error, wrong translation or typo, you do not need to report it.

Examples:
