Rules and General Terms of Use

of POKÉMON GO BELGIUM & Narutospeed GO Belgium

In order to play well and maintain a very good understanding between players, we propose a few simple rules to follow.

The rules and general terms of use apply to all of our websites and Social Media

1. In Real Life & Our Events

Reporting a raid or a Pokémon:

When you are at a raid location and wish to report it, please do so via Messenger or the Facebook page by detailing the raid location and the Pokémon (CP, Individual Value, Pokémon name) and do not forget to attach a photo (screenshot) of the gym/location.

In addition, to avoid duplicate posts as much as possible, please read the previous messages in Messenger or in the Facebook group.

Giving a meeting point ::

When you are playing and wish to give a meeting point (safe location), make sure that you are certain you will be able to attend.

If you are unable to travel or if there is a change of location, please inform and report it on the Facebook group page or Messenger (this is basic courtesy and respect for the other players/Trainers).

 

During raid battles:

When you organize one or more raid(s), report it and set a time and meeting point. If an admin or moderator is not present, another person will take responsibility.

When everyone is present, do not forget to designate a game leader (person who will organize the raid(s) and will handle team distribution (by color; levels or friendship to balance the number of players).

Depending on the conditions, they will decide whether to create a “private” raid (via code) or a free (public) one.

Finally, when the raid(s) is/are finished, a thank you to the players present is always appreciated and is part of basic courtesy (good understanding between players is the foundation of playing in a joyful and friendly atmosphere).

Please make sure to have enough passes to participate in multiple raids.

Also remember to have enough storage space for your Pokémon as well as space in your item bag, and make sure you have important items to heal and revive your Pokémon.

Account sharing:

Only the use of the device by the account owner is tolerated.

Role of admins:

Each admin (see who the administrators are here) is there to manage the groups as well as issues during raids or organized hunts. An admin is the only one who decides on sanctions. This may go as far as banning from Messenger or the page if:

- Lack of respect towards a team member or one/more trainer(s);

- Repeated complaint(s) against a player;

- Incitement to hatred or racist remarks;

- Unauthorized sale of products;

- Encouraging the use of third-party software for unfair gameplay (cheating);

Politeness and good manners:

Respect and politeness are essential for living well in society. Respect every player and be courteous with each other (do not exclude anyone).

During events:

When an event is organized (meaning announced on Facebook or Messenger by an administrator and not by a member), it is important to read the announcement. The following points will be described:

- Event name

- Date

- Time

- Meeting location

- Description and organization of the event

- Staff members present

During night events:

Participants must have a flashlight or a smartphone with a “flashlight” function (LED shoes or lights are welcome) as well as reflective bands (fluorescent vests, etc.) for visibility to vehicles and other road users.

Participants must not put themselves or others in danger under any circumstances.

All participants agree not to cause any nighttime disturbance, nor damage to public roads or private property.

We are in no way responsible for injuries, accidents, deaths, or any violence that players may suffer during these events.

During these night events, participants traveling by car must wear seat belts (front passengers, rear passengers, and driver).

The driver must respect traffic laws and ensure not to endanger other participants (passengers or pedestrians).

We are not responsible for car accidents and/or damage caused by them; the driver must remain in control of their vehicle.

Cheating and raid intrusion

We are very strict regarding the use of accounts with third-party software.

We will not accept them!

Therefore, if an admin or moderator detects a cheater, they will ensure that the raid is protected with a code (private group).

We ask players/participants in raids not to share the code with outsiders by any means. If cheating players are detected and harm the gaming experience of honest players, we will report them to Niantic Labs.

We want a fair and balanced gaming experience for everyone!

Draw:

The draw is carried out via a generator or by an “innocent hand” (a person not part of the page). The winner will be announced on the page and contacted via private message or email.

The winner may accept or refuse their prize (in case of refusal, a new draw may take place if possible).

If a deadline is indicated to claim the prize, the winner must respect it.

After this deadline, it will no longer be possible to claim it.

Our page no longer offers mystery box contests!

Donations and support:

Our site will never ask members or visitors for money without valid reason.

We accept the following donations:

- Pokémon-related items.

- Pokémon cards.

- Pokémon figurines.

- Video games and consoles.

- Pokémon promotional decorations.

- Books (manga, coloring books, etc.)

No counterfeit items will be accepted

If counterfeit items are detected, we will inform you and destroy them.
