5. AVOIDANCE OF MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE GAME
This site is a gaming website for all means and purposes. We do not
intend to create a simulation of real world existences, past or present or
future. You undertake not to understand, nor interpret, nor assume, nor know,
nor think, nor presume, nor imagine, nor guess, nor suppose, nor take to mean,
nor read, nor construe, nor believe, nor expect, nor reason nor envisage that
any part of this game exists in the real world. Such undertaking from you
extends, but is not limited to, the following terminology around the website:
a. FlyCash: The virtual currency on the website is called “FlyCash”. Users often
start with an opening balance of FlyCash which can be used to virtually buy
services on the website. The term has been created by MYVIRTUALFLIGHTS, and is
no way related to any currency around the world. It does not exist in real life,
and the user may not ask or order MYVIRTUALFLIGHTS for the balance of FlyCash in
his account to be paid to him in any real currency for any sum of money.
b. FlyMiles: The virtual mileage on the website is called “FlyMiles”. The
FlyMiles are earned on each virtual journey taken by the user and can be used to
virtually buy services on the website. The term has been created by
MYVIRTUALFLIGHTS, and is no way related to any Frequent Flyer Programme around
the world. It does not exist in real life, and the user may not ask or order
MYVIRTUALFLIGHTS for the balance of FlyMiles in his account to be translated in
physical cash or converted to any frequent flyer programme points of another
establishment.
c. Virtual Traveller Club: The frequent flyer programme of MYVIRTUALFLIGHTS is
called Virtual Traveller Club. Such a frequent flyer programme exists virtually
only within the site “www.myvirtualflights.com” but does not exist in the real
world. You may not assume that MYVIRTUALFLIGHTS is in any way related to other
real world Frequent Flyer Programmes.
d. FlyPoints: The point system of virtual Frequent Flyer Programme on the
website is called “FlyPoints”. As with all other components of the Frequent
Flyer Programme, the FlyPoints is virtually collected around the website, and
does not exist in the real world. FlyPoints are restricted to virtual existence
only within the site “www.myvirtualflights.com” and have no bearing on the real
world.
e. Ports: A port is a virtual point of travel on the site. These include
airports, seaports, train stations, bus stations, metro stations, subways, taxi
stations or any other ports that may join the game in the future. Ports, on
“www.myvirtualflights.com” are an imaginary point from or to which users
virtually traverse. The point may or may not exist in the real world, and should
such a port exist in the real world, the two such, or group of such ports, shall
have no relation whatsoever to each other. MYVIRTUALFLIGHTS does not claim,
unless expressly stated, to be related to such real world ports.
f. Carrier: A carrier is a virtual establishment created by MYVIRTUALFLIGHTS
within the boundaries of “www.myvirtualflights.com” to become a means of travel
between two or more ports. MYVIRTUALFLIGHTS undertakes to ensure, unless
expressly states, that such imaginary carriers do not portray or construe to
portray a real world carrier of any sorts.
g. Closure of Ports: Occasionally, MYVIRTUALFLIGHTS may temporarily close Ports
from operation, as a part of the game. Such closure is purely imaginary and
virtual, and the user shall in no way assume that such closure is any way
related to the operation of any other port in the real world.
h. Cancellation of Journey: Occasionally, MYVIRTUALFLIGHTS may cancel a virtual
journey in which you or another user may have undertaken to virtually travel on.
Such cancellation is purely a part of the game, and the user may not expect or
order a monetary compensation for such cancellation.
i. Port Contracting: MYVIRTUALFLIGHTS offers users the chance to “imaginarily”
own Ports, the imaginary point of travel on the site. Such ownership is strictly
within the boundaries of “www.myvirtualflights.com” and in no way shall be
construed as the ownership of any or all real world port. The port contracting
is paid for in virtual cash, and the ownership shall remain virtual within the
boundaries of the site for a limited period.
6. OWNERSHIP OF RIGHTS; LICENSE RIGHTS
