<h2>Battlefield Heroes Naming Policy</h2>

<p>You are encouraged to choose a persona name that represents
your character (including web profile and in-game character) in the way you
want to be seen. However, we also ask that good discretion be used when
choosing names for characters, or any other item or entity in game which can be
custom-named. Examples of inappropriate names include, but are not limited to: </p>

<ul>

<li>Any name that violates the Battlefield Heroes Rules of
     Conduct or EA Terms of Service. This includes names that are racially
     motivated, sexually graphic, anatomical and excretory references, hateful,
     defamatory, ethnically derogatory, in reference to hate groups, or any
     other names that would be offensive in nature including homonyms. Simply,
     if your name defames any demographic, or is in poor taste you are likely
     to be actioned.</li>

<li>Any name that violates any third party trademark,
     copyright or other propriety right.</li>

<li>Names of any Electronic Arts employee or any customer
     service representative of Electronic Arts, past or present.</li>

<li>Any name that is defamatory or attempts to defame the
     reputation of another account holder, an employee of Electronics Arts,
     property of Electronic Arts or Electronic Arts itself. The use of
     derogatory, defamatory or offensive content in conjunction with names of
     famous or important historical, political or religious figures.</li>

<li>Names of modern era serial killers, or groups who have
     committed crimes against humanity in the past 150 years, or any name that
     is closely connected with these acts.</li>

<li>Any name involving a combination of words that produces an
     offensive result. Masked profanity or slang which denotes offensive terms.</li>

<li>Names which are website URL's or the personal information
     of you or another.</li>

<li>Misspellings, phonetic spellings, word combinations, or
     alternative spellings of any names that violate the above rules.</li>

</ul>

<h2>Names Policy Enforcement</h2>

<p>If a name is found to be in violation of any of the above
policies, a customer support representative will intervene. When customer
support is called to evaluate an improper name, one of the following actions
will be taken: </p>

<ul>

<li>Nothing <br />
    The name is deemed not to be offensive and the customer
     is permitted to keep the name.</li>
 
<li>Changed<br />
    The customer will receive a warning, suspension or full
     account termination and may receive a persona name change. This will
     include borderline and relatively benign names that still violate our
     name policy to a minor degree.</li>

</ul>

<p>In addition, an inappropriate name may also constitute a
violation of the Battlefield Heroes Rules of Conduct, which may subject you to
disciplinary action, up to and including termination of your Electronic Arts
Account.</p>
