An Out of the Park Developments account is required to play Perfect Team. Individuals are limited to three (3) Perfect Teams per desktop OOTP 23 license, and one (1) account per copy of OOTP Go (where the copy equals one device), each of which must be registered via unique email accounts.

(k) Publish, post, upload or distribute any content in the game and/or on related services, including but not limited to, usernames, team names, forum posts, titles of forum posts, or other graphical or textual material or information, that Out of the Park Developments, in its reasonable and objective judgment, determines is inappropriate, abusive, harassing, obscene, defamatory, threatening, hateful, obscene, infringes on another party's copyrights and/or trademarks, and/or unlawful. Additionally, usernames, team names and other editable and customizable text in-game may not be used to make political, religious or other statements that are potentially controversial, in the judgement of Out of the Park Developments, even if such statements are not specifically inappropriate in and of themselves.
(l) Violate any law or legal regulation of Germany, the European Union, your present place of residence, or any jurisdiction in which Out of the Park Developments hosts or contracts to host any game-related services and in doing so becomes subject to local laws.
