#1 Rule: Try your best to have fun.  Remember your in Heaven where everyone is equal. Be it player /td or just a player. And all rules apply to all.

V  This tournament is open to all, with the exception of  cheaters. If you live in the same house as your P please change P's. Even though its hard to enforce this rule we ask that all players be respectful and have fun and remember same household doesnt mean they cheat. ..

VU Games and all of the system operators appreciate your cooperation and hope you enjoy the exciting games and great community here on VU Games. Playing on VU Games is a privilege, not a right. VU Games reserves the right to deny access at any time at the discretion of VU Games.

Additionally, VU Games, in its sole discretion, may disqualify a Member for engaging in any conduct that VU Games deems to be improper, unfair or otherwise adverse to the operation of the VU Games Network or detrimental to other users of the VU Games Network.

Basically, all we expect is a little common courtesy. Most folks know what is appropriate and what is not. If you must have a heated argument with someone simply take it to a private/password-protected room and out of the public areas. Some games lend themselves to stronger language some do not. Respect the flavor of the room and the players around you and there shouldn't be a problem.

Note that as part of the registration process, you will be asked to submit certain information about yourself to assist VU Games to identify yourself as a ‘unique user.’ Additionally, you hereby acknowledge that VU games has the right to collect certain identification information about your computer and its operating system, including, but not necessarily limited to, the identification numbers of your hard drives, central processing unit, IP addresses and operating systems for identification purposes without any further notice to you.

4. What to do if you Experience a Problem While Playing VU Games Games.
   
   If you experience a problem with another player while playing one of the Hoyle games, the best thing to do is to report the problem to VU Games. To do this just click on the player's name you are having trouble with and then click on complaint; follow the simple online directions from there. The Complaint Tool captures information about the problem including the e-mail address of both parties and the last 40 lines of chat. Complaints go to the Sysop who will review them and take appropriate steps. You may not receive a response from the Sysop; but don't despair, all complaints are read and assessed.
   
   If it is a website problem that you wish to report the best thing to do is to contact the customer service department by using this link; http://support.vugames.com
   
   Note that it is a good idea to use a working e-mail address in your user profile. If the Sysop needs to contact the person sending the complaint for clarification or more information, and the e-mail is bogus, then the complaint will not be addressed. Likewise if you are complained about and the Sysop needs to get your side of the story, but if your e-mail is invalid, there will be no choice but to assume the complaint is valid and take appropriate steps.
