These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Master Quest, Inc. ("we", "us"), the maker of The Legend of Manafall (the "Game"). They cover your account, the Game's online services, the launcher and this website (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to them, to the End User License Agreement and, while the Game is in closed beta, to the Closed Beta Agreement.
1. Your account
- You need an account to play. Give us a real e-mail address you can read; we use it for codes, account security and important notices.
- One account per person. Keep your password to yourself: you are responsible for what happens on your account. Tell us at once if you think someone else got into it.
- You must be at least 13 years old (or older where your country's law asks for more) to create an account. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian should read these terms with you.
- Your account, characters and items stay ours to run and look after; you get to use them under these terms. They cannot be sold, traded for money or transferred outside the Game.
2. Playing fair
We want Manafall to be a friendly place. You agree not to:
- cheat, use bots, macros that play for you, hacks, or anything that reads or changes the Game's memory or network traffic;
- exploit bugs on purpose (report them with /bug instead), or get into parts of the Service you are not meant to reach;
- harass, threaten, or abuse other players, or post hateful, sexual or illegal content in names, chat or anywhere else in the Service;
- sell or buy accounts, gold, items or power-leveling for real money, or advertise such services;
- pretend to be a member of our team, or try to get other players' account details;
- disrupt the Service, for example by flooding it with traffic.
If you break these rules we may warn you, remove items or progress gained unfairly, rename a character, or suspend or close the account, depending on how serious it is. We look at each case and you can always write to us if you think we got it wrong.
3. Gems, the Market and virtual items
- The Game is free to play. Gems are a virtual currency for cosmetics, convenience and account services in the Market; nothing in the Market sells power over other players.
- Gems and virtual items are a license to use content in the Game. They have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, and are not refundable except where the law says they must be or we decide to help in a particular case.
- During the closed beta, Gems may be granted for testing and may be reset.
4. What you send us
- Chat, character names, bug reports, feedback, wish-list items and screenshots you send are yours, but you allow us to use them to run, improve and promote the Game, without paying you.
- Ideas you send (for example in a wish) may already be planned or come up on their own; sending one does not oblige us to use it or to credit or pay you.
5. Your privacy
- We keep what we need to run the Service: your account name, e-mail address, password (stored only as a secure hash), sign-in records with IP addresses, your characters and progress, chat and reports you send, and purchase records.
- We use it to run the Game, keep accounts safe, stop cheating and abuse, answer your reports and send you account e-mails. We do not sell your personal data.
- You can ask us for a copy of your data or to delete your account by writing to thelegendofmanafall@gmail.com.
6. The Service changes
Online games keep changing. We may change, add or remove content, rebalance the Game, run maintenance, and during testing reset characters, items and progress. We try to announce bigger changes in the patch notes. One day the Service may end; we will give notice before it does.
7. Ending your account
You can stop playing and ask us to delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or the law, or that stay unused for a long time after we have tried to reach you.
8. Disclaimers and liability
We work hard to keep Manafall running well, but the Service is provided "as is" and "as available": it may have bugs and downtime, especially in a beta. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability to you for anything related to the Service is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim (or 50 US dollars if that is more). Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be limited.
9. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. When we make a significant change we will tell you on this site or in the launcher before it takes effect; if you keep playing after that, the new terms apply. If you don't agree, you can stop using the Service and close your account.
10. Disputes
If something goes wrong, please write to us first: most things can be solved by talking. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, apart from rules that would make another place's law apply. Any dispute that cannot be settled informally will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Placer County, California, unless the consumer law of where you live gives you the right to bring it elsewhere. Small claims court is always open to you where it applies.
