Be carefull of bans!

[-:Undertaker:-]

"without notice, for any or no reason."

Thats disgusting, We pay for something and they can just ban you for NO-REASON!

You are asked to read the T&C. So its your own fault tbh..

[Just-One]

Sorry, but legal action will get you nowhere. For starters, companies can hide behind T&Cs, EULAs, etc. in court. (And seeing as you agreed to the T&Cs when you created your Habbo, they have a fairly solid case. Of course hiding behind T&Cs isn't 100% foolproof, but in more cases than not... it is. ) Seriously, you would be wasting your time, especially with this (that people always seem to miss):

Terms & Conditions of use are your best friend when using Habbo...
You can be banned for any or no reason, but a system has been put in place to try and justify the ban where possible. When it comes down to it though, if you have been banned inappropriately, the best you can do is appeal the ban. If the appeal doesn't get accepted, nothing more can be done, I would think.

I'm sorry to hear you've been banned in this way, although there seem to be some pieces of the jigsaw I'm missing. Unless the person on your account said "I'm on fitcov's account! ^_^", then I don't see any proof. Unless, of course, it uses IP... but some staff log on in the offices and at work. Good luck on getting your account unbanned though.

Also don't forget this in the terms and conditions also:

3.4 To the full extent permitted by law, the User agrees that Sulake UK Ltd will not be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for any indirect or consequential or exemplary loss, including but not limited to loss of business opportunities, data, goodwill, projects, or profits) howsoever arising and whether in contract, tort or otherwise from the use of, or inability to use, the Website, or any of its contents and materials, or from any action or omission taken as a result of using the Website or any such contents, or any other matter relating to the Service.

3.5 In any event the User agrees that Sulake UK Ltd's liability for all damages and losses (including negligence) shall not in any circumstances exceed the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing the Website.

Which means, don't sue em for nothing otherwise you will pay all the fee's plus hey, if Sulake are found guilty, then they will only pay back that £10 you spent with them without including the court fee's of god knows wooo!

[fitcovboy]

You all seem to be forgetting one thing ... THE LAW ... yes sulake are not immune to it, and in fact they shave some laws by claiming to be a game and not a chat site, otherwise the laws would be very much tightened down on them, they have a slight loophole, but it will not last forever, there customer relations suck and they cannot say you have no right to get your money back, in these days and times an attititude like that simply is not justified, they cannot extort money from children and then take no responsability, i have the money to go to court and am prepared to do so.

Exactly. So... you would only be able to get back the money you spent on credits (and by the way.. the thrones count for £0 ^_^). I don't know how much Mr Fit spent on credits, but I'm willing to bet that it would not be more than the cost of a civil court case.

The likely result is that the law suit will not go through successfully (because of the T&Cs you agreed to), and you'll have to pay the court fees all by yourself. ;S

If anyone didn't read the T&Cs when creating their Habbo, or didn't understand them, then have another read, like James and myself. If there's something you don't understand, I'm pretty sure someone would kindly explain it to you.

Note: I reread your post on page 4 fitcov... so fingers crossed you might be unbanned, eh?

Yes, THE LAW. The Terms and Conditions are absolutely riddled with ways they become exempt from such law suits. Besides, what exactly would you sue them for? I'm fairly sure you wouldn't be able to prosecute, either. If I were in your shoes, I would think about exactly what I want to do, before I go ahead and spend cash on it. Simply said; it would be a waste of money and time, unless you could find something to convince us, (and more importantly - a court).

They do not commit extortion, either.

extort verb (extorted, extorting) to obtain (money or information, etc) by threats or violence.

You need to be over 18 or seek parental permission before you buy credits. Sulake Ltd. and Habbo Ltd. are very successful companies that will have law-d00ds working on all aspects of their company, and will have more than adequate protection.

I am not supporting either party (aside from hoping that you get your account back), but am merely posing as an advocate to your comments.

i was banned 3 times.
first time i was banned was for mis-spelling a word. and it came out as "bobba" and a mod was there and banned me for 2 hours say i used offencive terms.
the other 2 where accusing me of using flooding tool. but i type really fast.
thats why i mis-spell things.
and thats why the accuse me of flooding.
so i tried to ask them if they could reverse them, and they wanted to know why. i tld them and i got ignored.

Sorry to hear about your loss, but this isn't News or Rumour about Habbo Hotel UK.

so leaving me no alternative but to take out legal action regarding the issue.

As a Habbo, you have 0 legal rights against Sulake. When you signed up, you agreed that all "furniture, credits, Habbo Club Memberships" etc is property of Sulake, not you.

Sorry to hear though and hopefully you will get unbanned!

[-Soph-]

God this is pathetic.
No wonder the number of people using habbo is plumeting.

I can't believe people are getting banned for saying
"I got gold HC":rolleyes:

[AJuk]

[fitcovboy]

It is news regarding the controversial can u share accounts, if you are over 18 it is acceptable, if not it is not, i have had an email from emma stating if i can prove i am over 18 then my account will be un-banned.
