Terms of Service and Rules

Definitions

"Staff" are defined as users ranked as Moderators or Admins.

"Caste Gaming," "mineCaste," "drugCaste," "technoCaste," "Our Servers" and any other variations thereof pertain to the server located at the IP address of 85.223.66.178

"Account" is defined as a player's in-game identity, registered by the player with Mojang

"Content" includes, but is not limited to:

  • Player datafiles
  • Anything created or obtained while playing on Our Servers such as
  • Player or container inventories
  • Images, such as screenshots
  • Builds (block placements or manipulations)
  • Anything at all (text, images, etc.) submitted to:
    + castegaming.net
    + minecaste.net
  • Caste Gaming staff or server email accounts

Donations

Donations are completely optional. Donations will not necessarily confer any special privileges, ranks, or status to those donating to the server. By donating to Our Servers, you agree to the Terms of Agreement and this action does not give you authority or power above the Terms of Agreement. A repayment of your donation will not be made under any circumstances.

Content Licensing

All content, as defined above, may be retained, removed, or relocated at the discretion of server staff. By submitting content to Caste Gaming's websites (including, but not limited to, castegaming.net), by submitting content to staff or server email accounts or other contact media, or by creating content on our Minecraft server, you grant us perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable rights to use, copy, modify, adapt, distribute, prepare derivative works of, perform, or publicly display that content. You also represent and warrant that you are the owner of or have the right to post your content, and that the submission or nature of your content does not infringe the rights of any third party. Any damages resulting from such infringements are exclusively the liability of the user who submitted said content.

Our license (as described above) for your work does mean that we have the right to partially or fully move, delete, or change any content as it exists on our server, at any time, and without warning or permission. Depending on the degree of changes made, you recognize that our actions may also result in a change in copyright ownership or intellectual property rights on the altered content as a result of sufficiently derivative alteration. We also have the right to deny you access to your content as it exists on our server. In the special case of "builds" in-game, we will typically provide NBT Minecraft schematic files to the creator of the "build," upon request. Unreasonable requests (as determined by Caste Gaming staff) may not be honored, however. Examples of unreasonable requests might be requests for builds that are trivially small, that no longer exist, or that have been significantly altered by other builders so as to no longer be "your" builds.

Termination and Suspension of Access

Players found violating the Terms of Agreement or any server rules may find their accounts or IP addresses restricted or eliminated from Our Servers and related websites. This includes, but is not limited to castegaming.net. In addition, staff retains the right to kick, ban, or block any Account's access to the server or any other affiliated websites or services for any other reason, without explanation or warning.

In particular, players found repeatedly asking questions covered by the FAQ may be banned without further warning.

While players may appeal their bans as a courtesy, server staff retains the right to revoke any request for a ban appeal.

Prohibited Behavior

By joining any Caste Gaming server or creating an account on any related website, you agree NOT TO:

  • Use or encourage others to use Caste Gaming servers or related websites for any illegal purpose;
  • Impersonate any Caste Gaming member in the game or on any other web site;
  • Make unsolicited or inappropriate offers, advertisements or proposals for goods, services or other commercial activities that are not related to the Caste Gaming servers;

  • Release or distribute any server content without Staff consent (with the exception of unaltered content to which you hold the sole, original copyright).
