Terms of Service

Effective 3 November 2026 · Version 2026-11-03

These terms cover the ECILA gaming community, forum, TeamSpeak features, and Premium services. Contact the community administration at contact@ecila.ro. Please also read our Privacy Policy and community rules.

Accounts and age

You must be at least 16 to create an ECILA account. Purchases are restricted to people aged 18 or over. These are ECILA’s service rules, not a statement that all games or third-party services are suitable for every member. Keep your credentials secure, provide accurate account information, and tell us if your account is compromised. Do not share an account to evade restrictions.

Community conduct and moderation

Do not post unlawful material, threats, harassment, personal information about others without authority, scams, malware, spam, or content that infringes intellectual property. Follow game-server rules. We may remove content or restrict accounts to protect users, investigate abuse, or comply with law. When practicable, we will explain the reason and provide an opportunity to appeal. Contact us or use the appeals tools if you believe a decision is wrong.

Your content

You retain ownership of your posts and uploads. You grant ECILA permission to store, display, format, and distribute that content as necessary to operate the community and its backups. Do not upload material you have no right to share. Public posts, usernames, and public profile fields can be viewed and indexed by others. Private messages are available to participants; authorized administration may access data where necessary for support, security, abuse investigations, or legal obligations.

Premium purchases

The plan and checkout pages show the price, currency, duration, and included benefits before payment. Purchases use PayPal; ECILA does not collect payment-card details. The current checkout is a one-time payment for the displayed period and does not itself create a recurring PayPal billing agreement. Activation follows verified payment, not merely a return to the success page. Benefits expire at the end of the purchased period unless a new purchase is made.

Do not purchase if you are under 18 or cannot authorize the payment. Contact us for payment errors, missing benefits, or service problems. Nothing in these terms removes your mandatory consumer rights or remedies for services that are not supplied as agreed. Material changes to a purchased plan will not retroactively remove the benefits promised for the paid period without an appropriate remedy.

Withdrawal and refunds

If you are an EEA consumer, you generally have 14 days after entering a service contract to withdraw without giving a reason. To withdraw, email contact@ecila.ro with your account name, plan, purchase date, and transaction reference, and state that you wish to withdraw. You may use the model notice below, but it is not required. We will acknowledge the request and, where due, refund using the original payment method within 14 days of receiving the withdrawal notice.

Checkout asks you expressly to request activation during the withdrawal period. If you withdraw after requesting an early start, any permitted deduction must reflect only the proportion of service actually supplied, as applicable law allows. Requesting immediate activation does not automatically waive your withdrawal rights. Other rights concerning defective or unavailable services remain applicable.

Model notice: “To ECILA at contact@ecila.ro: I withdraw from my Premium service contract. Account/name: …; plan/order reference: …; purchased on: …; date of notice: ….”

Availability, third parties, and responsibility

We aim to keep ECILA available but maintenance and outages can occur. Game publishers, Steam, PayPal, external media, and independently operated servers have their own rules and privacy notices. Optional cookies are not a condition of forum access. Do not rely on community posts as professional advice. Liability is governed by applicable law; these terms do not exclude liability or consumer protections that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Leaving, complaints, and updates

You can request account deletion through account settings or email us. Public discussion records and data needed for disputes, security, or legal duties may require separate review; see the Privacy Policy. Report illegal content or complaints to contact@ecila.ro with a link and a clear explanation. We may seek proportionate information to investigate. We will publish material terms changes here and notify affected account holders when appropriate. New acceptance is recorded where requested; existing users are not treated as having accepted a change merely because it was published. Mandatory protections and the right to complain to competent authorities or courts remain unaffected.
