The responsibility for management and dispute resolution for the additional services remains with the District Owner. 

Building a District and Rules  

The District Owner must define the specific purpose for a District, and the set of applicable usage rules which must always adhere to District One’s general policies and Terms of Service, as well as applicable laws and regulations. 

Any conflicts between the District Owners rules and District Ones terms and policies will cause District Ones rules, terms and policies to take precedence. The same is said of Users, Organisers, Service Providers, and other entities utilising the Platform. 

District One reserves the right to warn or intervene to take over a District where it is deemed that the District contravenes District Ones policies and terms. 

Multiple Administrators can be assigned to a District by a District Owner, granting them abilities to manage services and moderate content unless a Managed Service is being provided by District One in which case all administration will be provided by us. 

It is the District Owners responsibility to enforce its stated membership rules. 

The District Owner is entitled to remove a User’s account if it finds that the Districts rules or District Ones policies or terms are being breached by a User. Any active subscriptions for the District may be terminated also and refunds are given at the District Owners discretion. 

The District Owner is mandated to inform District One of any User expulsions and applicable refunds, so that the accounting is kept accurate. 

A User that has been banned from a District will not be re-admitted. 

A User that has been banned from multiple Districts for misconduct or breaching applicable rules may at the discretion of District One, be removed from the District One Platform entirely and will not be re-admitted. 

Running a District  

District Owners are at liberty to create, run and manage a District for whatever purpose such as community themes, gaming themes or alternate subject matters, so long as it approved by District One and does not contravene either this District Policy or District One’s other Terms of Service policies as applicable, or applicable local and UK laws and regulations. The District One Privacy Policy also provides guidance. 

District One will resolutely manage the behaviour used and the content or offers published on its Platform for suitability and therefore will look to District Owners to responsibly manage their Districts in accordance with the same ethos. If it is deemed that a District Owner is in breach of this District Policy, then District One reserve the right to take appropriate action which could ultimately be removal of a District from the Platform.

District Monetisation 

It is completely up to the District Owner as to whether free or paid services are offered to Users of their District. Both types of services can be offered to Users and the District Owner decides the fee structure for their District for paid for services. Notice of applicable service fees must be communicated to District One for the on-line billing systems provided and managed by District One. 

There are a number of monetisation options available for a District Owner, supported by the District Billing System: 

  • Subscription Model – where the District Owner charges either a recurring monthly fee or an annual fee for membership, which will grant the User free tournament access and also access to a range of other services defined and operated by the District Owner; 
  • Tournament Entry Model – where the District Owner organises tournaments or competitions which attract an entry fee for participation. It must be observed that Games Publisher Community Guidelines provide guidance on the limits associated with crowd-funding based competitions and what can be retained by the District Owner and what has to be returned to the prize pool.  
  • Sponsorship Model – where the District Owner either alone or in partnership with District One’s sponsorship activities gains revenue from sponsors on an ad-hoc fee basis. It must be observed that Games Publisher Community Guidelines provide guidance on the limits associated with sponsorship and what can be retained by the District Owner and/or District One for operational costs and what has to be returned to the prize pool being sponsored. 

The District Owner is fully responsible for ensuring that its free or paid-entry competitions, subscription services and monetisation models do not convene the Games Publishers Community Guidelines and are liable for any reparations and costs should contravention take place. 

If District One consider that Games Publishers Community Guidelines are being breached it reserves the right to take down the District until such times as remediation steps and appropriate payments have been made by the District Owner. 

District Rules on Monetisation 

The District platform is set up for District Owners to be able to create communities and to offer free and paid for services to its Users. The Platform offers an in-The built paywall system which handles fees centrally and in order for the District Owner to enable monetisation for itself and its Users, the following information needs to be provided to and verified by District One:
