Account Restriction PoliciesUpdated 9 days ago

At Wargame Portal, we’re committed to providing a fair, respectful, and positive experience for every customer. To protect our team, our community, and the integrity of our services, we maintain standards of conduct for account usage.

As a private business, we reserve the right to refuse service and to restrict or suspend customer accounts when necessary. These measures are not taken lightly and are only used when patterns of behavior disrupt normal operations or create an unsafe or unfair environment.

Why an Account May Be Restricted or Banned

An account may be temporarily restricted or permanently banned for the following reasons:

1. Hostile or Abusive Communication

We expect all interactions with our customer service team to remain respectful and professional.

Accounts may be banned if a customer:

  • Uses abusive, threatening, or hostile language toward staff

  • Repeatedly engages in aggressive or demeaning behavior

  • Creates an unsafe or hostile working environment for our team

We are always happy to help resolve issues—but hostility toward our staff is not acceptable under any circumstances.

2. Repeated Order Cancellations

Frequent cancellations disrupt inventory management, vendor relationships, and order processing workflows.

Accounts may be temporarily banned if a customer:

  • Repeatedly cancels orders, regardless of reason or circumstance

  • Demonstrates a pattern of placing and canceling orders that impacts operations

In these cases, accounts are typically restricted for 14–21 business days, after which they may be reviewed for reinstatement.

3. Abuse of Policies or Systems

Accounts may be restricted if a customer:

  • Attempts to bypass store policies or safeguards such a preorder item caps, etc.

  • Misuses promotions, discounts, or systems

  • Engages in behavior that undermines fair access for other customers

What Happens During a Ban or Restriction

  • Temporary bans generally last 14–21 business days and are subject to review

  • Permanent bans may be applied in severe or repeated cases

  • During a restriction, new orders may be blocked or canceled automatically

Each situation is reviewed individually, and we strive to apply these policies consistently and fairly.

Reinstatement & Appeals

If your account has been temporarily restricted, it may be reviewed after the restriction period concludes. In some cases, we may reach out for clarification or verification before reinstatement.

Please note:

  • Reinstatement is not guaranteed

  • Continued violations may result in permanent account closure

Our Commitment

Our goal is not to punish, but to maintain a respectful, reliable, and fair shopping environment for everyone—customers and staff alike. We appreciate the vast majority of our community who engage with us positively and professionally.

If you have questions about this policy, you’re welcome to reach out to our support team—respectfully—at any time.

Thank you for helping us keep Wargame Portal a great place for the hobby community.
