PART II -- TERMS OF USE (CONDICIONES DE USO)

5. Description of the Service

atseis is a free online multiplayer simulation game focused on small and medium-sized businesses. The Service allows Users to:

  • Invest in and manage a virtual small or medium-sized business within a simulated economic world.
  • Make operational, tactical, strategic, and directive decisions that affect the simulated business.
  • Compete against other Players and NPC (non-player character) businesses within a persistent game world.
  • View leaderboards, market data, financial statements, and other game information.
  • Learn and apply real business concepts in a simulated environment.

The Game operates on a simulation engine that processes game ticks at regular intervals. During each tick, production runs, market transactions occur, company finances are updated, and events may be triggered. The simulation runs continuously regardless of whether a Player is online.

No real money is involved in the Game. All currencies, transactions, assets, valuations, and financial figures within the Game are entirely simulated and fictional. They have no real-world monetary value whatsoever.

6. User Accounts

To access the Game, Users must create an account by providing:

  • A username (unique within the Platform).
  • A valid email address.
  • A password (which will be stored in hashed form only; FORGELAB never stores plain-text passwords).

The User is responsible for:

  • Providing accurate and truthful information during registration.
  • Maintaining the confidentiality and security of their account credentials.
  • All activity that occurs under their account.
  • Notifying FORGELAB immediately of any unauthorized use of their account.

Each User may only create and maintain one (1) account. Creating multiple accounts (multi-accounting) is strictly prohibited and may result in the suspension or termination of all associated accounts.

7. Account Deletion

Users may request the deletion of their account at any time through the Settings page within the Game interface. Account deletion is permanent and irreversible. Upon deletion:

  • The User's personal data (username, email, hashed password) will be permanently erased.
  • All associated game data (companies, decisions, financial records, game history) will be permanently erased.
  • The User's company within the active game world will cease operations and may be converted to an NPC entity or removed entirely, at the discretion of the administrator.
  • The deletion cannot be reversed. The User will need to create a new account and start from scratch if they wish to participate again.

8. Game Worlds, Resets, and NPC Companies

The Game operates within discrete "worlds" created and managed by FORGELAB administrators. Users should be aware of the following:

  • Game resets: Game worlds may be reset, archived, or terminated at any time at the sole discretion of FORGELAB. During a reset, all in-game data (companies, decisions, financial records, market history, leaderboard positions) may be partially or entirely deleted. No compensation of any kind is provided for lost game data.
  • NPC companies: Game worlds may contain computer-controlled companies (NPCs) that participate in the simulated economy. NPCs operate under the same simulation rules as Player companies but are controlled by automated logic. Their presence, behavior, and number are determined by FORGELAB and may change without notice.
  • Simulation mechanics: The simulation engine, including all formulas, constants, algorithms, event triggers, and balance parameters, may be adjusted, modified, or overhauled at any time without prior notice. FORGELAB reserves the right to change game mechanics to improve balance, fix exploits, or enhance the educational and entertainment value of the Game.
  • World parameters: Each game world has configurable parameters (tick speed, starting capital, market conditions, number of sectors, etc.) that are set by the administrator and may differ between worlds.

9. Waitlist

Games run in rounds. Users may join a waitlist by providing their LinkedIn profile URL and email address. This data will be used solely to notify Users when the next game round starts and to coordinate participation. Waitlist data is retained only until invitations for the next game round are sent, after which it is deleted. See the Privacy Policy for further details.

10. Acceptable Use

The User agrees not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.

  • Use bots, scripts, scrapers, or any automated means to access or interact with the Service, unless explicitly authorized by FORGELAB.
  • Exploit bugs, glitches, or vulnerabilities in the Game instead of reporting them to FORGELAB. Users who discover exploits are expected to report them promptly.
  • Collude with other Players in ways that undermine fair competition (e.g., coordinated market manipulation, dumping, or resource funneling between accounts).
  • Harass, abuse, threaten, impersonate, or intimidate other Users.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service.
  • Create multiple accounts to gain an unfair advantage.
