Terms of Service
1. Who we are
Mossfire Siege (the "Game") is operated by Nicholas Burton, an individual ("we", "us"). Contact: 1992nburton@gmail.com.
2. Accepting these terms
By playing the Game or buying anything in it, you agree to these Terms, the Refund Policy and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Game.
3. Age and purchases
You must be at least 13 to play. Purchases are for adults only (18+ or the age of majority where you live), or for minors with the permission of a parent or legal guardian who accepts these Terms for them. A parent or guardian is responsible for purchases made on their payment method.
4. The Game and your save
The Game runs in your browser and as an iPhone app. There are no user accounts. Your progress is saved only on your device (browser local storage, or the app's storage on iPhone). Clearing browser data, deleting the app, changing browsers or devices, or using private browsing can delete your progress, and we cannot restore it. The Game is under active development and may change, be reset or be discontinued.
5. Speed-ups (paid digital items)
- Where offered, you can pay real money for a "speed-up" that instantly finishes one in-game timer (an upgrade or research) in the village on the device you are using.
- The price is shown on the button and on the payment page before you pay. On the website, prices are in US dollars and any sales tax or VAT that applies is calculated and shown by the payment page before you pay. In the iPhone app, prices are set in your local currency by Apple and include any taxes Apple collects.
- A speed-up is a licence to use a digital feature, not property. It has no cash value, cannot be transferred, and is delivered immediately when payment is confirmed. See the Refund Policy.
- Moonpearls are earned in play only; they cannot be bought, sold or exchanged for money.
6. Payments
On the website, payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. In the iPhone app, purchases are made through Apple's App Store in-app purchase system, and Apple's Media Services Terms apply to them. We never see or store your full card number. The payment provider's terms and privacy policy apply to the payment itself.
7. Acceptable use
Do not cheat, tamper with payments or the payment verification, attempt to reuse a payment, attack or overload the service, or use the Game unlawfully. We may refuse or reverse a speed-up obtained by fraud or abuse.
8. Intellectual property
The Game's code, art, names and world are owned by Nicholas Burton, an individual or its licensors. You may not copy or redistribute them except as allowed by law.
9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The Game is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by law. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot be limited under the law that applies to you (for example consumer-protection laws).
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim locally. There is no arbitration clause; nothing in these Terms requires arbitration or waives your right to go to court.
11. Changes
We may update these Terms. The effective date above shows the latest version. Changes do not affect purchases already completed.
