- All content remains the property and control of Midstate Illinois Roleplay

3. Entitlement System & Delivery Model
All supporter perks and purchased content are delivered as system-controlled entitlements managed through Tebex and Discord role assignment systems.
Entitlements may include, but are not limited to:
- Vehicle access packs
- Cosmetic unlocks (clothing, emotes, engine sounds, etc.)
- Queue priority systems
- In-game progression convenience services or credits
- Custom content request access
- Community supporter recognition perks
Delivery is considered complete once the entitlement has been successfully assigned to the associated Discord account or user identity via Tebex integration, regardless of in-game synchronization timing.
A purchase is considered fully delivered once the entitlement has been assigned within the Tebex and Discord integration systems associated with the purchaser’s linked account.
- In-game synchronization delays, caching delays, or manual refresh requirements (including use of /refreshperms or reconnection to the server) do not constitute non-delivery of purchased entitlements.
- Players are responsible for ensuring their Discord account is correctly linked to Tebex to receive entitlements.
- Supporter perks and entitlements require continued access to the official Midstate Illinois Roleplay Discord server.
- If a user leaves, is removed, or otherwise loses access to the Discord server, supporter-related perks may be paused or revoked after a reasonable grace period to allow for account recovery, review, or resynchronization.
- For operational consistency, grace periods referenced in these Terms typically do not exceed 72 hours unless otherwise required for technical, administrative, or security review purposes.
- This requirement exists due to the dependency of entitlement systems on Discord-based identity linking and does not affect any legitimate in-game progression, characters, or purchased assets.
________________________________________
4. Technical Synchronization & Delivery Notice
In some cases, Discord role updates and in-game permissions may not apply instantly following entitlement changes.
Due to system processing, caching, and synchronization intervals, players should allow time for changes to fully propagate across Discord and the game server.
If permissions do not appear immediately, players may:
- Use the in-game command /refreshperms, and/or
- Reconnect to the server to force an update of permissions.
Please note that both Discord role assignment and in-game permission syncing may experience short delays. This is a normal system synchronization process and does not constitute a failure to deliver the purchased entitlement.
________________________________________
5. Subscription Terms
If you purchase a recurring subscription:
- Payments are billed on a recurring cycle based on the original purchase date
- Subscription billing operates on a recurring cycle and is not tied to calendar months
- Each payment is considered prepaid for the current billing period
- Subscription benefits are provided for the duration of an active and successfully processed billing period
- All billing intervals and renewal information are displayed during checkout via Tebex prior to purchase
- Subscriptions may be canceled at any time via Tebex or your payment confirmation email
- Cancellation prevents future billing cycles but does not retroactively refund past payments
If a user purchases multiple supporter subscriptions or upgrades between tiers, only the highest active entitlement level will determine active benefits.
It is the user’s responsibility to manage active subscriptions through Tebex. Duplicate or overlapping subscriptions do not guarantee cumulative or additional benefits beyond the highest applicable tier.
No refunds are issued for unused time within an active billing period.
Subscription access is tied to active payment status and may be removed upon expiration or cancellation.
Supporter tier benefits may be expanded, adjusted, rotated, or enhanced over time as Midstate Illinois Roleplay continues to grow and evolve. Such changes are intended to improve the supporter experience and maintain long-term server sustainability. Core supporter hierarchy and queue priority structure will remain aligned with the applicable supporter tier.
________________________________________
6. Vehicle Access Packs
- Vehicle access packs provide temporary access rights to designated in-game vehicles while the associated entitlement is active.
- While active, players may spawn and use included vehicles. These vehicles remain obtainable through standard in-game systems unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Upon subscription expiration or cancellation, access to vehicle pack content will be removed.
- Vehicle packs are designed as access-based convenience systems and not exclusive ownership content.
________________________________________
7. Cosmetic Systems
Cosmetic items such as clothing, emotes, and engine sound modifications are provided as non-gameplay-impacting enhancements.
These systems:
- Do not affect player performance or economic advantage
- Are tied to active entitlements where applicable
- May be added, modified, or removed as part of server updates
________________________________________
8. In-Game Economy & Queue Systems
Certain systems may provide convenience-based progression assistance or alternative methods of interacting with in-game systems.
Queue priority benefits provide relative priority positioning within the server queue system and do not guarantee instant access, bypass of queues, or exemption from server capacity limits, maintenance periods, or emergency restrictions.
Queue times may still vary depending on server population, demand, and operational conditions.
These services:
- Do not grant exclusive access to content
- Do not provide competitive gameplay advantages
- Do not replace standard in-game progression systems
- Are designed solely as optional convenience features
All in-game content remains fully obtainable through normal gameplay.
________________________________________
9. Custom Content Request Services
Certain offerings, including vehicle imports and MLO requests, are classified as custom content request services.
These services:
- Require staff and development approval prior to implementation
- Are considered development requests and not guaranteed deliverables or immediate products
- Are not guaranteed upon purchase
- May be rejected for technical, balance, or server integrity reasons
- Are subject to development scheduling and feasibility
Approved content becomes part of the Midstate Illinois Roleplay server environment and is managed as server-controlled digital assets.

Players are responsible for:
- Ensuring their Discord account is correctly linked to Tebex

- Providing accurate account information when required
Failure to properly link accounts may delay or prevent entitlement delivery.

Support requests without sufficient purchase information may experience delays in processing.

Refund requests may be denied for reasons including but not limited to:
