Nintendo DSi Code of Conduct

This Nintendo DSi Network Service Code of Conduct (“Nintendo DSi Code of Conduct”) outlines the rules that you must

follow to participate in the Nintendo DSi Service. These rules are designed to keep the Nintendo DSi Service a friendly and

safe environment.

The Nintendo DSi Code of Conduct may be found at http://support.nintendo.com and may be revised and updated by us at

anytime. If you do not have Internet access, please contact Nintendo Customer Service to receive a current version of the

Nintendo DSi Code of Conduct, free of charge. All capitalized terms not defined in this Nintendo DSi Code of Conduct will have

the meaning set forth in the Nintendo DSi Services User Agreement.

1. Your use of the Nintendo DSi Service is subject to this Nintendo DSi Code of Conduct, which prohibits all harmful, illegal or

otherwise offensive conduct, including, but not limited to the following:

• Misrepresenting, impersonating, abusing, stalking, threatening or harassing any person or company, including, but not

limited to other users, Nintendo itself, and/or its employees, moderators, or staff.

• Doing anything illegal, discriminatory, defamatory, hateful, harassing, abusive, obscene, threatening, physically dangerous

or otherwise objectionable, in Nintendo’s sole discretion, in connection with the Nintendo DSi Service.

• Downloading, sharing or playing unauthorized software, copies of games, music or images on the Nintendo DSi System.

This activity may be illegal and voids your warranty.

• Using an unauthorized device with the Nintendo DSi System or making unauthorized technical modifications to your

Nintendo DSi System voids your warranty and may be illegal. Nintendo may make technical changes to the Nintendo DSi

System, software and/or Nintendo DSi Service to disable the modification.

• Making new versions of existing Content or Products (“derivatives”).

• Trying to access another person’s Nintendo DSi Service without permission or trying to access any of Nintendo’s computers,

hardware or networks used to provide the Nintendo DSi Service.

• Cheating in a game, unless such cheats have been deliberately enabled.

• Hosting, intercepting, emulating, reverse engineering or redirecting the communication protocols used by Nintendo as part

of the Nintendo DSi Service, regardless of the method used to do so.

• Engaging in any commercial activity using the Nintendo DSi System or any other activity that disrupts, diminishes the

quality of, interferes with the performance of, or impairs the functionality of a Nintendo DSi System, including the Nintendo

DSi Service or networks connected to the Nintendo DSi Service.

• Accessing or attempting to access another person’s Nintendo DSi System, including, but not limited to a person’s Nintendo

DSi Shop Account without permission or trying to access any third party’s, including, but not limited to Nintendo’s

computers, hardware or networks.

• Uploading, posting, emailing, transmitting or otherwise making available: (a) any content that you do not have a

legal right to make available; (b) any content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other

intellectual property or proprietary rights of any party; (c) any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or promotional

materials (e.g. “spam”); (d) information which personally identifies you or any third party; or (e) content to which you

have disguised the origin.

2. Nintendo is not responsible for anything you communicate using the Nintendo DSi System or anything that happens on

the Nintendo DSi Service or as a result of your use of the Nintendo DSi Service; you alone are responsible.

3. Virtual Property. Some games or other content may have certain features that may be traded with other Nintendo DSi

Service users. For example, a game might give you the ability to create a character that gathers objects (like a car or gold

coins) and has certain characteristics (like a special ability or appearance). These features are sometimes called “virtual

property.” Nintendo (or its licensors) own this virtual property, and you may not sell, trade, assign, license, or otherwise

convey virtual property for real money or for Points.

4. Nintendo reserves the right to immediately terminate or suspend your use of the Nintendo DSi Service for, in Nintendo’s sole

discretion, any violation of this Nintendo DSi Code of Conduct. Nintendo reserves the right to contact and cooperate with

any law enforcement agencies, government officials or Internet Service Providers, as Nintendo believes in its sole discretion,

is necessary or appropriate to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, or as otherwise required by law.

storage system or transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Nintendo is not responsible for any data collection, use or disclosure resulting from the use or installation of unauthorized
applications or content.

UPDATING YOUR INFORMATION OR OPTING OUT OF INFORMATION COLLECTION
