Protection of the Property Rights of the Gamers in Cyber Games based on the Rule of “No-Loss.”

Nowadays, cyber games are a profitable business with wide economic dimensions, including the property rights of gamers, i.e., “Accounts” and “Points”. Since the producers of cyber games are in a superior position to the gamers, by including terms in terms of Service, they usually limit their responsibility for protecting users’ accounts and points, providing support for the games, and reserving the right to terminate the game. For these reasons, the property rights of gamers are always in a precarious position. In Iranian law, due to the absence of specific laws, we can use the rule of “No-Loss” to protect users’ rights in two ways. On the one hand, according to the rule of “abuse of rights”, the producers have no right to damage the property rights of gamers to cause harm or make unconventional decisions in exercising the right. On the other hand, it is possible to deduce from the rule of "No-Loss" the compensation for the damage caused to the property rights of gamers, which cannot be compensated based on other rules of civil liability.
