Terms of use

Who we are

Jak X Online is a non-profit fan project that keeps community servers running for Jak X: Combat Racing, together with this website. It is run by the Jak X Online team. You can reach us through our Discord server (Support channel) (opens in a new tab).

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Naughty Dog or Sony Interactive Entertainment. Jak X, its characters and its artwork belong to their owners.

Accounts

• There are two accounts: a website account (nickname, email and password) and a game account, which you create from the game. You can link one game account to your website account.
• You must be at least 14 years old, or the minimum age your country sets to use online services without your parents' permission. Younger racers need their permission.
• Keep your password to yourself: you are responsible for what is done with your accounts.
• Names that are offensive, that impersonate someone or that break these terms may be changed or removed.
• From the website you can rename your game account once every 30 days.

Fair play and conduct

To keep the servers fun for everyone, you must not:

• Harass, threaten or insult other racers, or post hateful, sexual or illegal content in names, chat or clan messages.
• Cheat: memory editing, trainers, bots, modified game files, glitches used on purpose to gain an advantage, or tampering with records and ghosts.
• Attack, overload or try to break into the servers or other players' accounts.
• Use another account to dodge a sanction, or share accounts to do so.

Sanctions

The staff may warn you, kick you from a race, remove your records and ghosts, block your records, or ban your account, your connection (IP) or your console, for a time or for good. The anti-cheat system also kicks players and keeps a log on its own.

If you think a sanction is a mistake, tell us through our Discord server (Support channel) (opens in a new tab) and a member of the staff will review it.

The service

The servers and the website are free and run by volunteers. We do our best to keep them up, but we cannot promise they will always be available or free of errors. We may stop them for maintenance, change how they work or close them.

Stats, records and other game data may be reset, for example after an error or to remove cheating. We do not distribute the game, BIOS files or any copyrighted software: you need your own legitimate copy of the game.

What you publish

Your racer name, stats, records, clan and online status are seen by other players in the game and on this website (records, clans, live races). You allow us to show them for as long as they are part of the service.

Liability

As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for indirect damage, lost data or problems caused by your console, emulator, network or third-party software. Nothing in these terms limits the rights the law gives you as a consumer.

Changes

We may update these terms. If a change is important we will announce it on the website or on Discord before it applies. The date at the top shows the current version.

Server rules in the game

This is the text racers accept in the game when they sign in. It is part of these terms.
