You will be held accountable for other people's actions on your account. So please do not share your account with friends or family or do so at your own risk.
16 - Account Buying - This is illegal and will not be allowed on our server.
Players who've purchased Minecraft accounts from 3rd party sellers may do so only to find them banned from the server. These banned accounts have a history of various reasons ranging from using modified clients (hacking) to Advertising/Spam. Therefore, these accounts will not be unbanned due to the risk of them continuing their activities.
17 - Account Selling
For the reasons listed above, we do not allow advertising your account on FWS. We wish to keep our players as safe as possible and removing unnecessary risk is a good step towards that goal.
18 - Illegal or Hacked Accounts
The use of a Hacked or illegally obtained account will result in an immediate Ban which can not be removed even with the purchase of an UnBan. We support Mojang and the Minecraft community and require all players to follow the laws governing the use of the proprietary property known as Minecraft
“We strongly urge you to only purchase from the Minecraft website”
For more information about unbanning please see our Unban Policy and our Appeals Request.
Reviewing both of these sections will better help you to understand how a Ban can be reversed when allowed and appropreiate.
