Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Neon Burrow website at neonburrow.com, the Neon Burrow browser game, the global leaderboard, the blog and any related features (together, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

The Service is intended for a general audience. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. Users under 13 should not submit any personal information through the Service.

3. The game and your license to use it

Neon Burrow is provided free of charge. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to access and play the game in a web browser for your own non-commercial entertainment.

You agree not to:

• Copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent or sublicense the game, its code, artwork, audio or written content.
• Reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract the source code except where this restriction is prohibited by law.
• Embed, frame or re-host the game or website on another site, or present it as your own.
• Use bots, scripts, automation or any modification to gain an unfair advantage or to interact with the Service in an automated way.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers or networks, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service.
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.

4. Local saves and progress

Your game progress, upgrades and settings are stored locally in your browser. We do not operate user accounts and cannot recover progress that is lost if you clear your browser data, change devices or use private browsing. We may rebalance the game, change level layouts, adjust upgrade values or reset features as part of normal development, and this may affect saved progress.

5. Leaderboard conduct

The global leaderboard is a shared, public space. When you submit a score you agree that:

• Your pilot name, score and level will be displayed publicly.
• Your pilot name will not be offensive, hateful, sexually explicit, harassing, impersonating another person or containing personal information, links or advertising.
• Your score was achieved through genuine play without cheating, exploits, automation or tampering with requests sent to our servers.

We may remove any leaderboard entry, reject submissions or reset the leaderboard at any time and for any reason, including suspected cheating or inappropriate names, without notice.

6. Contact submissions and feedback

If you send us messages, bug reports, ideas or suggestions, you grant us a free, perpetual, worldwide right to use that feedback to improve the Service, without any obligation or compensation to you. Please do not send confidential information through the contact form.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including the game design, characters (such as Pip and the enemy units), level layouts, graphics, sound design, code, logos, the Neon Burrow name and all blog articles, is owned by Neon Burrow and protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license in section 3, no rights are granted to you. You may share links to our pages and quote short excerpts of articles with attribution and a link back to the original article.

8. Advertising and third-party services

The Service is supported by advertising provided by Google AdSense and may contain links to third-party websites. Ads are displayed on content pages and certain menu screens. We are not responsible for the content, products, services or privacy practices of advertisers or third-party sites, and your dealings with them are solely between you and them. Please see our Privacy Policy for information about advertising cookies and how to opt out of personalized ads.

You agree not to click on ads in an artificial or fraudulent way, or to encourage others to do so.

9. Availability and changes to the Service

We work to keep Neon Burrow running smoothly, but we do not guarantee that the Service will always be available, uninterrupted, timely or error-free. We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service, including game features, levels and the blog, at any time without liability.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. Strategy articles describe the game as it exists at the time of writing and may become outdated after updates.

11. Health notice

Neon Burrow contains flashing lights, bright colors, screen shake and fast-moving visuals. A small percentage of people may experience seizures or discomfort when exposed to certain light patterns. If you or anyone in your household has a history of epilepsy or photosensitivity, consult a doctor before playing. Stop playing immediately if you feel dizzy, disoriented or unwell. Screen shake can be turned off in the game settings, and you should take regular breaks.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Neon Burrow and its creators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, progress, profits or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Service. Because the Service is provided free of charge, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed fifty US dollars (USD 50). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Neon Burrow and its creators from any claims, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Service.

14. Termination

We may suspend or block your access to the Service, including leaderboard submissions, at any time if we believe you have violated these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability and indemnification, will survive.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where the operator of Neon Burrow is established, without regard to conflict of law principles. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under mandatory consumer protection laws of the country where you live.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.
