Kk, here’s the full story according to what all parties claim from start to finish, only posted what I got from Eva, before class, in my earlier dispute.
At our website
www.boglagold.com , we rent out maxed mains for the price of 1.5-1.75m 07GP per hour, with a 3m 07 GP deposit, as a safety for the whip, and so that people stick to the purpose of the account (staking), and not seeking any rule breaking. Our renting service getting popular was a double-edged sword, on one hand we were getting a lot more business, but on the other hand these gaming twitch streams started treating our accounts as disposable, doing free “commission” staking. At first we didn’t think this was an issue, because they weren’t actually making money off, but our accounts started being banned shortly after the larger streams, likely because viewers were reporting the stream to jagex.
To counter this, we implemented new rules as stated in our terms of service:
http://www.boglagold.com/terms .
8. No streaming whatsoever is permitted on the account. If you are caught streaming, your deposit and everything on the account will be seized.
9. Commission staking while on the account is not permitted. If you are caught commission staking your deposit and everything on the account will be seized.
These rules were meant to stop people from abusing the accounts in such ways where it exposes them to high rates of being banned, due to the pattern of streams being followed by bans.
Now onto the actual situation. From what I gather, Isaiah, rented our account last night, and started streaming. Originally, Eva also thought he was doing free “commission” staking for his gaming group “logic gaming”, but this wasn’t the case. Due to already being banned three times due to streamers and our ToS being updated, Eva and Joe gathered some proof quickly and then kicked him off the account, in order to evade a ban.

Eva didn’t get any proof of the commission staking part, so for the purpose of this dispute, he only broke term #8.
Eva held onto the money due to term #8, and then informed me of what happened when I got online. Moreover, the account he was streaming with, got permanently banned:

I read through the chat between my employees and Isaiah, and found that he also denied streaming (

So at this point it is clear he broke our terms (Atleast #8 ), and that he is aware of our terms, considering he denied streaming.
I am fully aware that our terms might be invalidated by Sythe, considering how steep they are – as mentioned before it was done to prevent, and not to compensate. That being said, as I’ve told many mods, I’m 100% willing to reimburse them regardless of the account being banned. I realize this is probably a grey area and am willing to compensate them (the group renting my account) should it be deemed fit. I’ve already offered to have mods hold the cash while the verdict is reached, but haven’t found any interested in that, likely due to the amount in question (193m + 2 guthans sets). If there is worry of these terms being abused, rest assured, if these terms are validated by Sythe, anything obtained from the consequences of breaking the rules will be donated to charity.
Given that I currently can’t access my main account, I’ll be constantly refreshing this to see responses, but if someone needs to talk to me to clarify any details, please feel free to add my personal skype : pauloo.a , or contact me on live chat.
Hopefully this is resolved soon.
