FANSITE PACK, TERMS & CONDITIONS AND LICENCE

We've had requests from people to use Illyriad trademarks and copyrighted material in third party websites.

We very much appreciate all the time and effort that webmasters and mistresses are putting into creating fansites, portals, wikis and all other supplemental resources concerning Illyriad.

So - to help these builders along - we've put together a Kit to help these paragons of Illyriad create their Illyriad-themed sites.

There are a few rules, regulations and requirements that third party websites agree to abide by, when using our content.  We've tried to keep them as simple as possible.

1. OFFICIAL THREAD LISTING

When a fansite is operational and complete we will list it on an official thread in the forum.  Message boards or alliance forums with no publically accessible content are not eligible for listing on the official thread.  Post a link in this thread or send an email to community@illyriad.co.uk with the URL to your fansite and we will have a look at it prior to listing.  The decision to list or delist a fansite is discretionary to Illyriad Games Limited.

2. ILLYRIAD RELATED

There must be a recognisable connection to Illyriad on the fansite.  Sites that concern multiple games other than Illyriad are fine, so long as there's some part of the site that we can link to directly, that concerns Illyriad and Illyriad only.

3. PROHIBITED CONTENT

Fansites must be in compliance with our Terms & Conditions of Service & Privacy Policy.

Fansites must not explicitly or implicitly solicit users, under any circumstances, to divulge their ingame account login password.

Fansites must not include offensive or adult content or have any commercial activity associated with them, with the following 2 exceptions:

  • Fansites may carry banner advertising, so long as the primary purpose of the site is not simply advertising revenue
  • Fansites may ask players for Donations

4. REPURPOSING CONTENT

Non-commercial sites may use content and resources from official Illyriad websites under the condition that the COPYRIGHT NOTICE below is either displayed directly - or hosted on a separate page on your fansite, and that this page is visibly linked from every page where Illyriad content and resources appear.

When using materials or content that was originally published elsewhere, proper credit must be given to the original author and used only by permission.  When using content, including forum posts or blog entries, from official Illyriad websites, please include the name of the contributor and a link to the post or location of the content you're using.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Use Illyriad's trademarks in respect of a top level domain name.
  • Create, distribute, or use any material that is not consistent with the functionality, atmosphere, and parameters of the world of Illyriad as created and owned by Illyriad Games Limited.
