Understanding the Terms of Service
You may have violated the Terms of Service, as determined by EA in its sole discretion, if you:
- Promote, encourage, or take part in any activity involving hacking, cracking, phishing, taking advantage of exploits or cheats and/or distribution of counterfeit software and/or virtual currency or items.
Examples of such behavior in Battlefield Hardline include, but are not limited to:
- Use of third-party software, such as aimbots, wallhacks, and other similar cheats in order to gain an unfair advantage over other players
- Abuse of game features in an unintended manner to stack on scores in an artificial manner--also known as "stat padding."
Our penalty system is cumulative, meaning that if you continue to violate our Terms of Service, the penalty applied may increase in severity, and may ultimately result in permanent account closure.
Account closure is reserved for the most serious breaches of our Terms of Service, but can also be applied in cases where an account has accumulated a number of violations over a period of time.
If you'd like to review our Terms of Service, you can find them at http://tos.ea.com/legalapp/WEBTERMS/US/en/PC/.
