Terms of Service

1. Purpose

These terms set out the conditions and procedures for using the web game "Scroll Dungeon" (the "Service") provided by PopPlay · Ovengame (the "Operator"), together with the rights and obligations of the Operator and users.

2. Effect and amendment

These terms take effect once posted within the Service. The Operator may amend them where doing so does not breach applicable law, and will announce any change and its effective date on this page. Continuing to use the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the amended terms.

3. Using the Service

1. The Service is provided free of charge and without registration.
2. Users may access the Service through a web browser without creating an account.
3. Any communication charges incurred in using the Service are the user's responsibility.
4. The Operator may change the content, structure, and balance of the Service in order to improve it.

4. Storage of game data

1. Game progress (level, items, equipment, currency and so on) is stored only in the user's browser local storage. It is neither transmitted to nor retained on the Operator's servers.
2. Consequently, progress may be lost in the following circumstances, and the Operator cannot recover it:
   • The user clears their browser's site data or cookies
   • The Service was used in private/incognito mode or another non-persistent environment
   • The user accesses the Service from a different browser or device
   • The device is reset or the browser reinstalled
3. The Service does not currently offer transfer of data between devices.

5. Advertising

1. The Service is provided free of charge and carries third-party advertising to cover operating costs.
2. Rewarded advertising within the Service is entirely optional; declining it places no restriction on use of the Service.
3. Collection and use of information in connection with advertising is governed by the Privacy Policy.

6. In-game currency and items

1. All currency and items within the Service — gold, gems, energy, equipment and so on — are data usable only inside the game and hold no real-world monetary value.
2. Users may not sell, lend, or transfer in-game currency, items, or accounts to third parties.
3. Where currency or items are lost because browser storage was cleared as described in section 4, the Operator has no obligation to restore or compensate them.

7. User obligations

Users must not:

• Interfere with the normal operation of the Service
• Modify game data by irregular means, or attempt to do so
• Use automated programs to access the Service
• Infringe the intellectual property rights of the Operator or any third party
• Reproduce, distribute, or transmit Service content without authorisation

8. Suspension of the Service

The Operator may temporarily suspend the Service in the following cases. Where possible this will be announced in advance; where circumstances make that impracticable, it will be announced afterwards.

• Maintenance, inspection, or replacement of Service infrastructure is required
• Force majeure such as natural disaster, power failure, or network outage occurs
• Significant circumstances make continued operation impracticable

9. Intellectual property

Rights in the content of the Service — game design, systems, text, and imagery — belong to the Operator. Rights in resources supplied by third parties remain with their respective providers; sources and licences are listed on the about page.

10. Limitation of liability

1. The Operator is released from liability where the Service cannot be provided due to force majeure such as natural disaster or network failure.
2. The Operator is not liable for disruption or data loss arising from causes attributable to the user.
3. The Service is under active development, and features may be added, changed, or removed without prior notice.
