Worldopoly Terms of Service and End User License Agreement
These Terms of Service and End User License Agreement (the "Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Brunchys LLC, the owner and operator of Worldopoly ("we", "us", or "our"), covering your use of the Worldopoly game, website at worldopoly.live, and any related services (together, the "Game").
Please read them carefully. By creating an account, checking the box to agree, or using the Game, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the Game.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Game. If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), you may use the Game only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use of the Game, including any purchases. You must be 18 or older (or the age of majority where you live) to make purchases without such consent.
You may not use the Game if you are barred from doing so under applicable law, or if we have previously terminated your account.
2. Your account
- You must give accurate information when you register, including a valid email address that you control, and keep it up to date.
- You may have only one account. Creating or controlling multiple accounts, including to gain extra rewards, entries or advantages, is not allowed.
- You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for all activity on your account. Tell us promptly at [CONTACT EMAIL] if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.
- Your account is personal to you. You may not sell, trade, rent, share, or transfer it, or buy or use anyone else's account.
- We may refuse or reclaim any username for any reason, including if it is offensive, misleading, impersonates someone, or infringes someone else's rights.
3. License to use the Game
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and play the Game for your own non-commercial entertainment. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by us and our licensors.
You may not, and may not help anyone else to: copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Game; reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract its source code except as the law expressly allows; sell, rent, or commercially exploit the Game or any part of it; scrape, harvest, or bulk-download data from the Game; or remove any copyright, trademark, or attribution notices.
4. Virtual items, currency and properties
The Game includes virtual items and content such as game cash, dice rolls, auction starters, traps, cosmetic items, and ownership of in-game properties (together, "Virtual Items").
- License, not ownership. Virtual Items are licensed to you as part of your license to use the Game. You do not own them, and they are not your personal property.
- No real-world value. Virtual Items have no monetary value, are not money, and cannot be redeemed, cashed out, or exchanged for real money, goods, or anything of value from us or anyone else, except where we expressly offer it in official rules.
- No trading outside the Game. You may not buy, sell, trade, or transfer Virtual Items or accounts for real money or anything of value outside the Game's own features. We may remove Virtual Items or close accounts involved in such trades.
- We may change them. We may change, rebalance, limit, or remove any Virtual Item, its price, or how it works at any time, including by resetting balances or in-game economies, without liability to you, except as required by law.
- Loss on termination. If your account is terminated or the Game shuts down, your license to Virtual Items ends and you will lose them, except as required by law.
5. Real places, addresses and map data
- It's a game, not real estate. Worldopoly uses real maps, streets and building addresses as spaces on a game board. "Owning", "buying", "selling", "auctioning", trapping or collecting "rent" on a property in the Game is purely fictional and gives no right, title, or interest in any real building, land, or business.
- No affiliation. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the owners, residents, tenants, or businesses at any real address in the Game. In-game prices and rents are invented and are not valuations or real estate advice.
- Respect real places and people. Do not go to, trespass on, photograph for harassment, contact, or disturb any real property or its occupants because of the Game. Always follow the law and stay aware of your surroundings. You play entirely at your own risk.
- Map data. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License. Map data may be incomplete, out of date, or inaccurate, and we make no promises about its accuracy. Map imagery may be provided by third parties under their own terms.
6. Purchases, payments and refunds
- Prices. We may offer Virtual Items for purchase with real money. Prices are shown at the time of purchase and may include or exclude taxes as indicated. We may change prices at any time, but not for a purchase you have already completed.
- Payment processors. Payments are handled by third-party payment processors under their own terms and privacy policies. You authorize us and our processors to charge your chosen payment method for purchases you make.
- Delivery. Purchases are delivered to your account as a license to Virtual Items and are considered fully delivered once credited.
- Refunds. Except as required by law or stated otherwise at the time of purchase, all purchases are final and non-refundable, including if you do not use what you bought, and including on suspension or termination for breach of these Terms. If something you bought was not delivered or did not work, contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL] and we will look into it.
- Chargebacks. If you dispute a charge with your bank or card issuer, we may suspend your account and remove the related Virtual Items while the dispute is resolved.
- Consumer rights. Nothing in these Terms removes any right you have under consumer-protection laws that cannot be waived by contract, including any statutory right of withdrawal where it applies. Where the law allows, by asking us to deliver digital content immediately you acknowledge that you lose any right to withdraw once delivery begins.
7. Gameplay, changes and resets
Worldopoly is a live, persistent, shared game that is still being developed. Game rules, balances, timers, prices, maps, items, and features (including paydays, spinner spots, auctions, traps, and leaderboards) may change, be added, or be removed at any time. We may run seasons, reset leaderboards or parts of the game world, correct errors (including reversing results or balances caused by bugs, exploits, or outages), and move or remove properties when map data changes. Chance-based features such as dice and the spinner use random outcomes; results are final except where we correct an error.
8. Rules of conduct
You agree not to:
- cheat, or use bots, scripts, macros, automation, modified clients, or any unauthorized software to play or gain an advantage;
- exploit bugs, glitches, or errors instead of reporting them to us;
- create or use multiple accounts, or coordinate accounts to manipulate auctions, the economy, or leaderboards;
- interfere with, overload, probe, or attack the Game, its servers, or its networks, or try to access any account, data, or system you are not authorized to access;
- harass, threaten, abuse, stalk, or discriminate against any person, in or outside the Game;
- use a username or other content that is hateful, obscene, sexually explicit, violent, defamatory, impersonates someone, or infringes anyone's rights;
- use the Game for any unlawful purpose, including fraud or money laundering;
- buy, sell, or advertise accounts, Virtual Items, or services related to the Game for real value; or
- encourage or help anyone else to do any of the above.
We may investigate suspected violations and take any action we consider appropriate, including removing Virtual Items, reversing gameplay results, resetting progress, and suspending or terminating accounts.
9. Advertising
The Game may display advertising, including optional ads you can choose to watch for in-game rewards. Ads may be provided by third-party networks that use cookies or similar technologies under their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the content of third-party ads or the products or services they promote. Rewards for watching ads may be limited, changed, or withdrawn, and may not be available where ads are not served.
10. Leaderboards and prizes
Leaderboards, seasons, and in-game rankings are for entertainment only. The Game does not award prizes, cash, or anything else of real-world value, and no ranking, balance, or Virtual Item entitles you to any.
11. Usernames and other content you provide
You keep any rights you have in content you submit to the Game, such as your username, messages, or feedback. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute that content in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Game, including showing your username publicly on leaderboards, auctions, and in-game notifications. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without any obligation to you.
12. Privacy
We collect and use personal information as described in our Privacy Policy (worldopoly.live/privacy.html). In summary, we collect your email address, username, password (stored only in hashed form), gameplay activity and transactions, and technical information such as IP address, browser details, and cookies needed to keep you logged in and run the Game. We use it to provide and secure the Game, process purchases, run promotions, communicate with you, and improve the Game. Your username and in-game activity (such as property ownership, auctions, and rankings) are visible to other players and, for leaderboards, to the public. We do not sell your personal information.
13. Our intellectual property
The Game, including its software, design, text, graphics, fonts, audio, and the "Worldopoly" name and logos, is owned by Brunchys LLC or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Third-party materials, including OpenStreetMap data and open-source software, are used under their own licenses. Worldopoly is an independent game by Brunchys LLC and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the owners of MONOPOLY or any other board game.
If you believe content in the Game infringes your copyright, contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL] with a description of the work, where it appears, your contact details, and a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized.
14. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Game and ask us to delete your account at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate your account or access, remove Virtual Items, or refuse service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have broken these Terms or the law, to protect the Game or other players, or if we stop offering the Game. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including sections 4, 5, 6, 11, 13, and 15 through 21) survive.
15. Availability of the Game
We do not guarantee that the Game will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. We may change, suspend, or discontinue the Game or any feature at any time, including for maintenance. If we permanently shut down the Game, we will try to give reasonable advance notice where practical.
16. Disclaimers
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE GAME AND ALL VIRTUAL ITEMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OF MAP DATA, ADDRESSES, OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION IN THE GAME. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of these may not apply to you.
17. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR VIRTUAL ITEMS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE GAME OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (B) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE GAME OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (1) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (2) US $50. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
18. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Game, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party, including any conduct at a real-world location.
19. Disputes and governing law
If you have a problem with the Game, please contact us first at [CONTACT EMAIL]; most issues can be resolved quickly and informally. If we cannot resolve a dispute within 30 days, these Terms and any dispute arising from them or the Game are governed by the laws of the State of [STATE], United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in [COUNTY, STATE], and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies. If you live outside the United States, you may also have the benefit of mandatory consumer-protection laws and courts of your country of residence.
20. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated Terms with a new version date and ask you to accept them before you continue playing. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Game. Changes will not apply retroactively to disputes that arose before they took effect.
21. General
- These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any official rules for promotions you enter, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Game.
- If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the unenforceable part will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted.
- Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of it.
- You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
- We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- Headings are for convenience only. "Including" means "including without limitation".
