RE: Request to Cease and Desist All Activities Related to Unauthorized Operation of MapleStory Servers
and/or Forums
To whom it may concern:
We, Nexon, the developer of online games such as MapleStory and other massively multiplayer online roleplaying
games (MMORPG), learned of the fact that you have been involved in one or more of the following
unauthorized activities:
(a) the setting up of and/or operation of unauthorized MapleStory game servers, which redirect games
players from Nexon's official game servers; and/or
(b) the unauthorized access to and use of Nexon's client software for the creation of and misuse of illegal
software; and/or
(c) the use of unauthorized client patch programs to improperly interfere in the game and undermine the
game play for other users of MMORPG; and/or
(d) the setting up of and/or operation of forum channels, which promote active involvement in and enable
any of the above (a) – (c) activities.
These actions constitute a breach of the terms and conditions of your use of our games, violate our intellectual
property rights, including but not limited to copyright and trade mark rights, and have caused damage to our
business and proprietary interests. Your unauthorized, improper, and illegal actions must stop immediately.
We hereby put you on notice, that if you continue to take actions that violate our rights, you may be subject to
legal proceedings and we may enforce our rights to the full extent allowable under the law. Such legal
proceedings against you may seek financial damages in the maximum amount allowed, an injunction to restrain
your infringing activity, attorneys' fees, costs, interest, and the seizure and/or destruction of all infringing copies
of our intellectual property and all equipment involved in such infringing activities. In addition to civil
proceedings, we also reserve our rights to report your illegal actions to the criminal authorities where appropriate.
As you may already be aware of, we have already begun to take criminal and civil procedures, as outlined above,
against wrongdoers in Germany and other jurisdictions around the globe. As the outcome of such efforts, data,
computer disks, computer hardware, and/or servers have been confiscated on unannounced police raids.
Unless, therefore, within fourteen (14) days of today's date, we receive your signed undertaking in the enclosed
form, we reserve our right to take any and all allowable action against you. Such action may be taken without
further notice to you.
In the mean time we reserve all of our rights against you to take all necessary steps to protect our business
interests and intellectual property rights.
Please note that it has come to our attention that certain unidentified persons have been posing to be Nexon or our
legal counsel and claiming settlement amounts and/or damages. These persons are acting without our
authorization. Previous notifications have been dispatched by Allen & Overy, LLP, Nexon’s legal counsel in this
matter and if you have received contacts from other persons/parties, you should first confirm with us at
law@nexon.co.kr or
sunaries@nexon.co.kr whether the claim has been authorized.
Sincerely,
UNDERTAKING
