3. Notice regarding the content: a work of fiction
3.1. The Game and the materials published about it on the Site constitute a work of fiction loosely inspired by events, settings and historical figures of southeastern Mexico and Latin America during the 1980s. It is not a documentary, a work of historiography, a faithful reconstruction of events, or a source of historical, journalistic or educational information.
3.2. The characters, names, organizations, places, dialogue, events and outcomes contained in the Game are fictitious or have been dramatized for narrative purposes. Where any element is inspired by real persons, public figures or historical figures, by organizations or by verifiable events, its portrayal constitutes a fictional dramatization and must not be understood as a statement of fact about those persons, organizations or events, nor as the imputation of any conduct to any particular person.
3.3. The Game does not represent the official position of, and has not been authorized, sponsored, endorsed, affiliated with or participated in by, any authority, government department, public entity, armed or security force, political party, political, social, religious, armed or civil organization, Indigenous community, people or neighborhood, or any individual or legal entity, save as expressly stated in the Game credits.
3.4. The Game contains depictions of armed conflict, violence, the use of weapons, paramilitary organizations, irregular warfare settings and sensitive political and social themes. Those depictions serve an exclusively narrative, artistic and entertainment purpose, and do not constitute advocacy, glorification, justification, promotion or incitement of violence, crime or hatred, nor political propaganda of any kind.
3.5. The Game incorporates references to the history and culture of Indigenous communities and peoples of southeastern Mexico with the intent of respectful representation. Nothing contained in it attributes positions, acts, opinions or responsibilities to any particular Indigenous community, people or person, nor does it purport to speak on their behalf.
3.6. The content of the Game is produced and distributed under the freedom of expression and of artistic creation recognized in the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States (Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos) and in the American Convention on Human Rights.
4. Content rating and recommended age
4.1. Because of its subject matter and its depiction of violence, adult language and war-related content, the Game is aimed at an adult or mature teenage audience, in accordance with the rating that applies in each case (the Mexican video game content rating equivalency system, ESRB, PEGI or another system applicable in the User’s territory).
4.2. It is for mothers, fathers, guardians and responsible adults to supervise minors’ access to the Game. BANDPRICE will not be liable for the use of the Site by minors without due supervision.
5. Health warnings
A small percentage of people may suffer epileptic seizures or blackouts from exposure to certain light patterns, flashes or images, even with no prior history. To reduce the risk, we recommend:
• Playing in a well-lit room.
• Not playing when drowsy or fatigued.
• Keeping an appropriate distance from the screen.
• Limiting session length and taking regular breaks.
If the User or anyone close to them has epilepsy or has had convulsive seizures, they should consult a physician before playing. Stop use immediately and seek medical attention in the event of dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of consciousness, disorientation, confusion or convulsions.
