Users are able to post their own content to the site's forums, profiles, and biography areas. Company is not responsible for content, links, or media posted/linked by users on the site or in the site’s forums. Users are responsible for their own posted content.

Intellectual Property

All artwork, writing, layout, coding, and worldbuilding of Pixel Cat’s End is copyrighted and may not be redistributed, sold, or otherwise used for profit.

Users may repost images or screenshots of the site off-site if they are properly credited and a link back to the site is provided.

Users may also post or sell digital fan art/writing containing Company's intellectual property for in-game items or real-world currency assuming credit to the site is given.

Physical/tangible items containing Company's intellectual property may not be sold for real-world currency, and also may not be added to third-party print-service stores. However, physical/tangible items can be given away or sold for in-game items.

Users may make recolors or edits of site art assets, but these must be provided free-to-use or sold only for the Site's in-game items or currency.

Accounts must exist and play the game independently of each other and no account should exist for the sole benefit of the other. Accounts found to be ‘funneling’ or excessively gifting items or resources to another in a one-sided way where there is no clear bi-directional equity, will be closed. This creates an unfair advantage to the user.

Bots, Scripts, and Exploits

The use of third-party apps, scripts, bots, or other software is strictly prohibited. The use of software that is intended to play the game for you, designed to give an unfair advantage, or which creates an excessive amount of concurrent connections and may damage site stability, will result in the immediate termination of your account.

An exception to the above rule on third-party apps is accessibility-related applications designed to increase legibility of the site. For example, changing color display, text size, or font is okay, as are any screen-readers or other accessibility applications.

Users agree to not exploit bugs, glitches, or game mechanics for their benefit. If a feature is not working as intended, please contact us via email to inform us of this fact. Users found to be exploiting such things will have their accounts terminated.
