Terms of use

1. Who we are

These terms are an agreement between you and [OPERATOR LEGAL NAME], [OPERATOR POSTAL ADDRESS] ("we", "us"), who runs Gamefinity: the website, Swipe mode and the games on our games domain.

2. The service

• Gamefinity is a free collection of browser games. There is nothing to buy, and no leaderboard has a prize.
• We add, change and retire games and features, and we may pause ranked play for a game, for example while we fix a bug. We can't promise that the site will always be available or free of errors.

3. Your guest account

• When you make a ranked attempt, or open Swipe mode or your account page, we create a guest account for your browser. You don't need an email or a password.
• The account lives in that browser. If you clear its cookies or site data, the account is lost and we can't recover it.
• Don't create or use extra accounts on purpose to get more daily attempts, or to come back after we have hidden your runs or closed your account.

4. Player names

Every account starts with a generated name. If you are 13 or older you can choose your own on your account page. Your name is shown publicly on the leaderboards, so it must not:

• be offensive, hateful, sexual or bullying;
• pretend to be someone else, including Gamefinity staff;
• contain personal information, such as your full real name or contact details;
• advertise anything or point people to another site.

We may replace a name that breaks these rules with a generated one.

5. Fair play

Leaderboards only mean something if every score is real. You must not:

• use bots, scripts, macros, auto-clickers or any other tool that plays for you or does more than the game allows;
• modify, inject code into or tamper with a game, its files, its replays, the data it sends us or our verification;
• exploit a bug, a glitch or our verification to get a score you didn't earn (please tell us about it at [CONTACT EMAIL, e.g. privacy@your-domain] instead);
• play ranked runs on someone else's account, or let someone else play them on yours;
• attack, overload or scrape the service, or try to get into other players' accounts.

Accessibility tools that don't play for you, such as screen magnifiers, screen readers or remapped keys, are fine.

6. Leaderboards, verification and moderation

• A ranked score is provisional until it is verified: we re-run the game on our servers from the replay of your inputs. A score that doesn't match stays off the leaderboards.
• For some games, the top 10 runs of each leaderboard go to a review queue, where a person can approve a run or hide it from every leaderboard if it looks automated or otherwise breaks these terms. A hidden run can be restored if we got it wrong.
• We may hide or remove any score, replace a player name, or close an account that breaks these terms. We don't always explain moderation decisions, but if you think we made a mistake, email [CONTACT EMAIL, e.g. privacy@your-domain].

7. Our games and your content

• The games, including their code, art, music and text, and the Gamefinity name and logo belong to [OPERATOR LEGAL NAME] or our licensors. We give you a personal, non-commercial permission, which we can withdraw, to play them on Gamefinity. Don't copy, re-host, frame or sell them, or reverse engineer them except where the law allows it.
• You are welcome to stream, record and share videos and screenshots of your play.
• You let us store, verify and show your player name, scores and replays on Gamefinity, including letting other players watch verified replays. This permission ends when the data is deleted under our privacy policy.

8. Games provided as is

Gamefinity is free and provided "as is" and "as available". As far as the law allows, we make no promises about the games or the service, including that they will be free of errors, always available or that your scores and progress will be kept. Progress saved in your browser is lost when you clear it.

If you are a consumer, nothing in these terms takes away rights that the law of your country gives you.

9. Our liability

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for lost progress, scores or data. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow us to limit, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

10. Ending your use

• You can stop playing at any time and delete your account on your account page.
• We may suspend or close your account, or hide your scores, if you break these terms or if the law requires it. We may also shut down Gamefinity or any part of it.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when we add features. We will change the date at the top, and for important changes we will say so on the site before they take effect. If you keep playing after that, the new terms apply.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of [GOVERNING LAW, e.g. Germany], and its courts have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living in another country, you keep the protection of that country's mandatory laws and can bring a claim in your local courts.
