Deuterium IX — User Agreement (English Translation)

01Scope and basic terms

This Agreement applies to your use of the game servers, official client and launcher, player community, companion App and related functions we provide or maintain. The Personal Information Protection Policy, community rules and function-specific rules that are expressly linked to this Agreement and made available to you together form the terms governing use of the Services.

We will clearly explain the scope of specific rules and draw attention to matters affecting your significant rights and interests. Such rules must not exclude statutory rights or arbitrarily add obligations through undisclosed internal rules.

In this Agreement, “user” or “player” means a natural person using the Services. “Game account” includes the account used for official Minecraft authentication and the identifiers required to recognize your game identity within the Services. “Deuterium ID” is your account for associated services such as the player community and companion App. Their respective areas of administration differ.

The Services are not official Mojang Studios or Microsoft servers. Your use of Minecraft itself and other third-party products remains subject to the relevant rights holders’ licenses and service rules. This Agreement does not replace or expand those permissions.

02Account registration, use and safekeeping

2.1 Official Minecraft accounts

Official Microsoft / Minecraft accounts are managed by the relevant service provider. We do not issue those accounts, change their passwords or restore ownership. For sign-in, purchase eligibility or recovery issues, use official Microsoft / Minecraft channels. Within our capabilities, we may help verify game identity information related to this server.

2.2 Deuterium ID and linked information

When registering and using a Deuterium ID, provide the necessary account information accurately and validly, ensure it belongs to you, safeguard your account, password and verification information, and use your account properly and securely. You bear the corresponding responsibility for your own use of the account.

Update linked information, such as your QQ number, promptly when it changes. Contact the operations team if you cannot change it yourself. If incorrect information affects identity verification or service security, we will ask you to correct it. If you refuse after reasonable notice and it is necessary, we may restrict the relevant functions or suspend the corresponding services.

Your account and its verified linked information are important evidence of identity. In cases of account theft, impersonation or information disputes, we will consider verification materials and relevant records, rather than assigning all responsibility solely on the basis of a single account action.

2.3 Unusual activity and account assistance

If you discover account theft, password disclosure or unusual sign-ins, notify us promptly using the published contact details and provide the information needed to verify your identity. Depending on the circumstances, we may temporarily restrict sign-in, suspend relevant functions, assist with password changes or process an account deletion request.

For losses caused by failing to safeguard your account or voluntarily giving credentials to others, you bear responsibility according to your own fault. We will provide necessary assistance after verification. Temporary protective measures may affect sign-in, item use or time-limited benefits; we will seek to explain the impact and reduce losses. This does not exempt us from responsibility for our own fault.

2.4 Giving others access to your account

Do not give others access to your account by gifting, transferring, lending, renting, sharing or similar means. The people involved may bear responsibility for resulting risks such as lost items, data changes, account deletion or identity disputes. We may impose necessary restrictions to protect account security, but will not thereby exclude your right to verify the facts, raise objections or seek help.

03Personal information and privacy

For details of how we collect, use, store, share and protect personal information, and how you can access, correct or delete it, withdraw consent or delete your account, see the Personal Information Protection Policy.

Processing information for game rule administration, account verification, customer support and testing improvements remains subject to that Policy and applicable requirements. This Agreement does not authorize unrestricted collection or use of all device information, chat content or test data.

If you choose sponsorship merchandise that requires shipping, we will explain the purpose before collecting recipient details. Such information is used only for necessary communication, reward verification and shipment.

04License to use and official channels

Provided you comply with this Agreement and applicable rules, we grant you a personal, non-commercial, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable license for content we are entitled to license, allowing you to:

1. Download, update and upgrade relevant software or resources from the official website, official QQ groups, official file distribution channels, launcher update access points or other channels we expressly approve.
2. Install, start, display, run and sign in to the relevant software on devices you personally use and are entitled to use.
3. Use the game servers, player community, companion App and associated services according to the rules for each function.

Any adjustment, suspension or termination of this license must be based on this Agreement, applicable rules or lawful grounds. Open-source software, mods, assets and services provided by other rights holders remain subject to their respective licenses.

Without the relevant rights holder’s permission, you must not copy, distribute, disseminate, sell, rent or otherwise redistribute protected game resources, or use weapon models, weapon packs, YSM models or similar resources commercially beyond the licensed scope. The server’s community service nature does not make third-party resources freely redistributable or available for commercial use.

For proprietary software or non-public content that we are entitled to restrict, you must not reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile or conduct other malicious analysis for the purpose of stealing protected code, bypassing security or disrupting the Services. This clause does not improperly restrict acts permitted by law or uses expressly allowed under lawful open-source licenses.

Obtaining the client from unapproved third-party channels, or adding, removing or modifying mods and resources yourself, may cause incompatibility, security risks or connection failures. We cannot guarantee these modifications will work and may ask you to restore an officially supported environment before troubleshooting. Risks directly caused by third-party software or your modifications will be assessed according to their actual causes and fault.

You are responsible for the computers, phones, network connections and device, data and internet access costs needed to use the Services.

05Virtual currency, virtual items and voluntary sponsorship

5.1 In-game use

To enrich gameplay, we may award Credits or other virtual game currencies and items through system grants, quests, events or other rules. You obtain rights to use them within the Services according to the relevant game rules, for virtual goods, commissions or other available functions.

Virtual game currency is not legal tender. We do not provide conversion of virtual currency or items into legal tender or physical goods, or promise real-world transaction value, fixed prices or continuing appreciation. Relevant rights and interests are protected under applicable rules; this clause does not exclude your right to request verification of, or appeal, abnormal records.

We administer the issuance and operating rules of virtual game assets. Intellectual property in software, assets and underlying content belongs to the respective rights holders. Your acquired in-game usage rights receive the protection provided by applicable rules and law and are not categorically denied by this clause.

5.2 Voluntary sponsorship and commemorative rewards

We accept voluntary player sponsorship, but provide no paid top-up feature and do not require sponsorship for normal use of the Services. We may offer sponsors merchandise, commemorative in-game items or other rewards. The content, eligibility, redemption methods and arrangements are governed by information published in advance for that occasion or expressly confirmed by both parties.

Voluntary sponsorship and commemorative rewards are distinct from purchasing Credits or exchanging virtual currency for physical goods. We will fulfill rewards we have expressly promised according to the relevant arrangements. If arrangements change, shipment becomes impossible or another fulfillment issue arises, we will communicate with you to resolve it, and will not invoke “voluntary sponsorship” to deny an express commitment already made.

5.3 Transactions through unofficial channels

If, outside officially supported transaction or commission processes, you arrange third-party leveling services or the purchase, sale, gift or transfer of accounts, virtual currency or virtual items, we do not guarantee that party’s identity, creditworthiness or performance, and cannot act in place of judicial authorities to decide private transaction disputes. Assess the risks yourself and do not give your game account or password to the counterparty.

Such disputes should generally be resolved between the parties or through appropriate channels. Where fraud, account theft or breaches of community rules are involved, we may still accept reports, review in-service records and take necessary security measures. Disputes arising through officially supported in-game goods or commission processes are handled under the corresponding published rules.

06Service operation, maintenance and risks

We strive to maintain a stable and fair game and community environment. However, maintenance, updates, software defects, network failures, third-party attacks or other actual causes may interrupt or disrupt the Services. We will seek to give advance notice of major maintenance or adjustments that can be planned.

If game data, Credits, virtual items or transaction status become abnormal, we will investigate and may, as necessary, make repairs, revoke abnormal gains, restore records or roll back affected data. We should seek to preserve legitimately acquired rights and interests, avoid affecting unrelated data and explain what we can to affected players.

Recovery may not restore every detail. Data rollbacks or adjustments should be based on verifiable records and the extent of the issue. You may submit evidence to request review. We will not arbitrarily delete unrelated normal game data simply because “there is a bug.”

The game includes player interaction and combat. Other users may post threats, defamation, harassment, infringing material or other inappropriate information. We oppose such behavior and will address it based on reports and what we discover. Protect yourself reasonably and report issues promptly.

Risks arising from third-party acts or network or device failures not attributable to us should be addressed according to the facts, causation and each party’s fault. No limitation of liability exempts liability that cannot legally be excluded, including the corresponding liability for personal injury or property damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence.

07User conduct

Comply with laws and regulations, this Agreement and published community rules; respect others’ lawful rights and interests; maintain public order and social morality; and observe requirements relating to laws and regulations, the socialist system, national interests, citizens’ lawful rights and interests, public order, social ethics and the truthfulness of information.

7.1 Prohibited content

You must not publish, disseminate or display the following content through usernames, guild names, chats, images or other means:

1. Content that violates the fundamental principles established by the Constitution or endangers national unity, sovereignty or territorial integrity.
2. Content that discloses state secrets, endangers national security or harms national honor or interests.
3. Content that incites ethnic hatred or discrimination, undermines ethnic unity or infringes ethnic customs and practices.
4. Content that promotes cults or superstition, spreads rumors, disrupts social order or undermines social stability.
5. Content that promotes obscenity, pornography, gambling, unlawful violence or incitement to crime.
6. Content that insults, defames, threatens or harasses others, discloses their private information or infringes their lawful rights and interests.
7. Content that violates social morality or is otherwise prohibited by laws or regulations.

The community may also moderate vulgar content, malicious advertising, irrelevant flooding and other disruptions under clearly published rules. Restrictions should have a clear and reasonable basis; mere disagreement of opinion should not substitute for determining whether a violation occurred.

7.2 Prohibited disruption and harm to others

1. Sending spam messages or emails, or using game accounts to help others harass users, distribute malicious advertising or flood channels.
2. Collecting, obtaining, disclosing or misusing other users’ email addresses, QQ numbers, telephone numbers or other personal information without permission.
3. Stealing or fraudulently obtaining accounts, virtual currency or virtual items; impersonating others; or spreading false information while posing as official staff, systems or announcement channels.
4. Registering or manipulating accounts in bulk for malicious gain, or exploiting abnormal rules or vulnerabilities to undermine the game economy and fair play.
5. Attacking or intruding into servers or websites, spreading viruses or malware, or overloading the Services with abnormally frequent requests, malicious resource downloads or similar means.
6. Using cheats or unauthorized prohibited plugins or mods, or altering or forging client-server data, commands or necessary system data to change intended functions, evade restrictions or obtain an improper advantage.
7. Creating, operating or distributing software, scripts, tools or methods for the prohibited purposes above, whether or not for commercial profit.
8. Removing, concealing or altering rights notices or security markings in protected content without permission, or copying, extracting or redistributing resources beyond the licensed scope.

Acts permitted by law, and the normal use of officially approved mods, plugins and tools, are not deemed violations merely because of the general wording above. If you are unsure whether a modification is allowed, check with the operations team first.

08Enforcement and appeals

If we discover a breach of this Agreement or applicable rules, we may take one or more proportionate measures, considering the facts, circumstances, impact, repeated violations and corrective action:

1. Issue a warning, require the violation to stop or require correction within a reasonable period. Repeated violations may lead to stronger action under the rules.
2. Disconnect the current device from the game server and require a new sign-in or security verification.
3. Temporarily restrict account messaging, or impose long-term or permanent restrictions in serious cases.
4. Restrict some or all functions, including Credit functions involving abnormal gains, disputes or verified shortfalls.
5. Revoke abnormal gains, or adjust or delete equipment, Credits, levels, items or other game data directly related to the violation.
6. Temporarily ban sign-in for the relevant account, or permanently ban it in serious cases, or suspend or terminate the corresponding services.
7. Dissolve guilds, clans, factions or other in-game organizations used for serious violations or persistent disruption, under published rules.
8. Take other necessary, reasonable and proportionate measures to stop ongoing harm or maintain security.

Verified in-game Credit shortfalls may be made up through normal game quests or other methods under published rules. You may request review if you dispute the shortfall. This does not require you to purchase a top-up or paid function.

Enforcement for serious violations may affect account use and game data. We will seek to explain the reasons, scope and duration and provide contact or appeal channels. Necessary measures may be taken first in a security emergency. Action should be fact-based and proportionate and should not arbitrarily extend to unrelated normal data.

If you believe an action was incorrect, submit account identification information, an account of events and relevant evidence. We will review the records and correct or restore matters as practically feasible if an error is confirmed. Account deletion and retention of necessary records remain governed by the Personal Information Protection Policy.

09Test servers and preview services

We may open test servers, preview servers or other clearly identified test functions, explaining their scope and main rules in advance. Depending on testing purposes, we may limit eligibility, opening times and participant numbers, or adjust, suspend or close test services.

Test or preview environments may be unstable, lack features, undergo rollbacks or lose data. They are not a promise of production stability or long-term data retention. Before participating, check whether the test involves a data wipe and review the specific data rules.

To carry out testing, we may adjust virtual currency, items, levels, experience, settings and other test data within the disclosed test scope. Where a data wipe has been clearly announced, we may clear the relevant test data at the end of the test phase. This authority does not automatically extend to production services or normal account data outside the test scope.

Test logs, feedback and related records used to improve the Services are collected, used and retained only as necessary for testing, in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Policy.

The testing nature of a service does not exempt liability that cannot legally be excluded. Harm caused intentionally, through gross negligence or by other conduct for which we are responsible remains subject to applicable requirements.

10Intellectual property and user uploads

10.1 Original and third-party content

We hold the relevant intellectual property rights in original software, website designs, text and other content to which we are entitled. Rights in Minecraft itself, weapon models, weapon packs, YSM models, music, open-source code and other third-party content belong to their respective rights holders and do not transfer to us through use in the Services.

Observe the original creator’s or rights holder’s licensed scope. Permission for use on a non-commercial server does not automatically include permission to extract models, move weapon packs to other servers, redistribute, sell or operate commercially. Use beyond the licensed scope may infringe rights.

10.2 Permission before uploading or publishing

Before uploading or publishing text, images, music, models, videos or other content, ensure you hold the relevant rights or have permission covering the intended use within the Services. If the original creator publicly permits non-commercial use, you must also comply with attribution, distribution and other license conditions. The absence of an express prohibition does not itself establish permission.

On receiving a reasonable infringement notice or identifying uncertainty about permission, we may temporarily restrict display, request further proof of permission or remove content under the applicable rules, while providing necessary communication and appeal channels.

10.3 Content license necessary to provide the Services

For content you are entitled to license and voluntarily upload or publish, you grant us a royalty-free, non-exclusive license, limited to what is necessary to operate the Services, to store, back up, display, transmit, technically adapt and manage the content. We may provide necessary technical service providers with corresponding usage permissions for these purposes. The license must not exceed the rights you obtained from the original rights holder.

This license does not transfer your or the original creator’s intellectual property, and is not an unrestricted authorization for every purpose or duration. We will obtain further necessary permission for independent commercial exploitation, external licensing or promotional use beyond what is needed to provide the Services.

After you delete content, withdraw the relevant authorization or delete your account, we will stop new uses that are no longer necessary, taking account of actual functionality, reasonable processing periods and applicable requirements. Content that must be retained on a limited basis to protect others’ lawful rights, resolve disputes or meet necessary archiving obligations will be handled under the relevant rules.

11Protection of minors and responsible internet use

Users under 18 should read this Agreement with a guardian’s presence, guidance and consent, and use the Services appropriately for their age, understanding and applicable requirements. A guardian should participate in matters requiring their consent or assistance.

Manage game time reasonably, avoid excessive play, protect personal information and be cautious of strangers’ requests involving accounts, transfers or in-person meetings. If you encounter harassment, fraud or other inappropriate situations, tell your guardian promptly and seek help through effective channels.

We encourage compliance with the National Youth Internet Civility Convention:

• Use the internet to learn; do not browse harmful information.
• Communicate honestly and kindly; do not insult or deceive others.
• Strengthen self-protection; do not casually arrange meetings with online acquaintances.
• Protect network security; do not disrupt online order.
• Support physical and mental wellbeing; do not become absorbed in virtual worlds.

12Updates, termination and contact

We may revise this Agreement as the Services or applicable rules change and will publish update and effective dates on this page. We will give appropriate notice of matters affecting your significant rights and interests, and obtain renewed consent separately where required by law or agreement.

A new version does not automatically change rights and obligations relating to past conduct retrospectively. Disputes should be addressed according to the agreement version and specific terms effective and applicable when the relevant conduct occurred. We will not unilaterally exclude existing rights by invoking the “latest version.”

If you disagree with a material change you have not yet accepted, you may stop using the affected services and contact us about your account and related matters. Termination does not automatically extinguish accrued lawful claims, express commitments that must be fulfilled or necessary dispute resolution obligations.

For questions, suggestions, complaints or appeals concerning this Agreement, account security, rule enforcement or use of the Services, contact the Deuterium IX operations team:

Emailsupport@deuteriumix.com ↗

Provide account identification information, the events involved and your request. Do not send account passwords or complete sign-in credentials. If a dispute arises, both parties may first seek a negotiated resolution. If that fails, the dispute may be resolved through channels provided by applicable law.

No disclaimer, restriction or authorization in this Agreement excludes user rights or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded. If an individual provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions that can apply independently remain effective.
