Terms of Service

Who can play

You may play EcoMatch only if you have a valid Google account and are old enough to enter a binding agreement in your country. If you are a minor, you may only play with the consent of a parent or guardian, and a parent or guardian must make any purchase on your behalf.

What EcoMatch is

EcoMatch is a single-player strategy game in which you play as a species responding to scenarios. It runs in your web browser, uses Google sign-in, and offers optional purchases of in-game credits. It shows no advertisements. The game is provided for entertainment. Scenarios, characters, and outcomes are fictional.

Your account

You access EcoMatch through your Google identity. You are responsible for activity that happens under your account. Keep your Google credentials secure — we never ask for them and cannot recover them. We may suspend access if we reasonably believe an account is being used to abuse the game or other players.

Purchases and virtual items

EcoMatch lets you buy bundles of in-game credits, and spend credits to unlock species, missions, replays, boosts, or similar in-game content. Credits and the content you unlock with them are "virtual items". When you buy or spend them:

• You are buying a limited, personal, non-transferable licence to use those items inside the game.
• Virtual items have no monetary value outside the game, cannot be exchanged for cash, are not transferable to other accounts, and are not your property.
• Payments are processed by Stripe (cards) or Flutterwave (mobile money). A purchase is complete only once the processor confirms it; credits are then added to your account immediately.
• Credits are delivered the moment payment is confirmed. If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA or UK, by completing a purchase you expressly agree that delivery begins immediately and acknowledge that you therefore lose your statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for that purchase.
• Except where required by law, purchases are final and non-refundable. If credits fail to arrive after a confirmed payment, contact us and we will put it right.
• Prices are shown in US dollars for card payments and in your local currency for mobile money. Local-currency prices use a fixed conversion that may differ from market rates.

Prices and offers may change. We may add, change, or remove virtual items and game features at any time.

Advertising

EcoMatch does not show advertisements, and there are no ad-based rewards.

Acceptable use

When using EcoMatch, you agree not to:

• cheat, exploit bugs, or use bots, scripts, or modified clients;
• attempt to bypass payments, rate limits, credit checks, or sign-in;
• interfere with, attack, or reverse-engineer the game or its servers;
• use the game for anything unlawful.

We may limit or end your access if you break these rules.

Intellectual property

The game, including its name, text, artwork, scenarios, and design, belongs to the developer and is protected by law. Your licence to play does not give you ownership of any part of the game. You may not copy, distribute, or create derivative works from the game's content without permission.

Availability and changes

EcoMatch is offered "as is" and "as available". We may update, suspend, or discontinue the game or any feature, including virtual items, at any time. We don't guarantee the game will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free, and progress may occasionally be affected by technical issues.

Disclaimers and liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the game is provided without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of virtual items, or loss of progress, except where such liability cannot be excluded by law.

Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under mandatory consumer protection law in your country, including, where applicable, your statutory rights as a consumer in the EU.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany, without affecting any mandatory consumer protections that apply to you in your country of residence. Google's, Stripe's and Flutterwave's own terms continue to apply to your use of their services.
