Terms of Use

1. Acceptance

These terms are an agreement between you and Waygu Games LLC ("we", "us"). By playing Ship Busters, whether in a browser at ship-busters.web.app or in any of our apps (iOS, Android, Mac, or PC), or by using this website, you accept them. If you don't accept them, don't play. If you're under 18, you may play, but you need a parent or guardian's permission for purchases and gold transfers (see section 4).

2. The service

Ship Busters is a free game with optional real-money purchases. We work hard to keep it available, but we don't guarantee it will always be online, bug-free, or unchanged. Online features, including duels, sync, and the shop, may be modified, suspended, or discontinued. The game works offline once loaded, but purchases, duels, and cross-device sync require a connection.

3. Accounts

An anonymous account is created automatically the first time you play; no sign-up is needed. You may optionally register an email and password, which upgrades that same account in place.

• You are responsible for your credentials: your password and any passkey enrolled on your devices. Keep them safe.
• One account per person, please.
• We may suspend or terminate accounts involved in cheating, abuse, or fraud.

4. Virtual currencies & goods

Ship Busters has three currencies, and they are not alike. Read this section before spending money.

Silver and Energy

Silver is earned through play and Energy regenerates over time. Both are play currencies with no cash value. They cannot be bought for money directly, transferred, or redeemed.

Gold

Gold is different:

• Gold is purchased with real money through the INVO network, at INVO's universal rate. Gold is never earned through play.
• Gold buys energy, silver, parts, and cosmetics.
• Gold can be transferred to other players. Transfers are routed by the recipient's phone number and secured by your passkey (a biometric or device credential).
• Gold can also be transferred to other INVO-network titles. INVO charges a fee on cross-game transfers, per-game limits apply, and a recently recovered passkey cannot send gold for 24 hours.

Purchases and refunds

Purchases are processed by INVO under INVO's own terms, which you accept at checkout. All purchases are final, except where a refund is required by law or granted by INVO.

What you actually own

Virtual items and currencies are a limited, revocable license to use them within the game, not property you own, with one exception: Gold held in your INVO wallet is governed by INVO's wallet terms. Arena duels stake nothing and award nothing. Prices and pack contents may change, and we don't guarantee that any virtual item will hold a particular value.

5. Conduct

• No cheating, exploiting bugs, or using forged or modified clients. Duels run between clients, and a dishonest client gains nothing, but we will still suspend accounts that try.
• No harassment of other players, including through display names. We may reset offensive display names.
• No fraud, and no using the game or gold transfers for anything unlawful.

6. Intellectual property

The game and this website (code, artwork, names, sounds, and text) belong to us or to our licensors (some artwork is licensed from Robert Brooks / gamedeveloperstudio.com). We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable license to play the game. You may not copy, sell, or redistribute the game or its content beyond what these terms and the law allow.

7. Third-party services

The game relies on third-party services, chiefly Google Firebase (authentication, hosting, analytics) and the INVO Network (payments, gold wallet, passkeys, SMS). When you use those features, their terms apply alongside ours. How they handle your data is described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Termination

You may stop playing at any time, and you may request account deletion as described in our Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate your access for breach of these terms, including cheating, abuse, or fraud. If your account is terminated, your license to virtual items ends; Gold in your INVO wallet remains governed by INVO's wallet terms.

9. Disclaimers

The game and website are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied (including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement), to the extent permitted by law. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this may not apply to you.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Waygu Games LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the game, and our total liability for any claim is capped at the amounts you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and, where applicable, the state of our principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the courts located where our principal place of business is, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except where the law of your home country gives you rights that cannot be waived.

12. Changes

We may update these terms. When we do, we'll change the effective date above and flag meaningful changes in the game. Continuing to play after a change means you accept the updated terms.
