Terms of Service · X Planet

Acceptance of Terms

By playing X Planet you accept these terms. If you don't accept them, don't play.

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you (“you”) and [BUSINESS_NAME], the operator of X Planet (“X Planet,” “we,” or “us”). The “Service” means the X Planet game, its websites, applications, in-game features, related online services, and any successor product.

You accept these Terms by clicking a button or checkbox indicating acceptance, by creating an account, or by using the Service. If you do not accept these Terms, you may not use the Service.

If you accept these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, in which case “you” refers to that entity.

Eligibility & Age

You must be at least 13. If you're under 18, you need a parent or guardian's permission. Under 13, the Service is not for you.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction (typically 18), you may only use the Service with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

Children under 13

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a person under 13 has provided us with personal information without verifiable parental consent, we will delete the account and the associated information. A parent or guardian who believes their child under 13 has registered may contact us at [CONTACT_EMAIL] for prompt removal.

You must also have legal capacity to enter into a binding contract under the law of your jurisdiction, and you must not be prohibited from receiving the Service under applicable export, sanctions, or trade laws.

Account Registration & Security

One human, one account. Keep your credentials safe. You're responsible for everything done from your account.

To access most features you must register for an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep that information up to date. You may not register more than one account per person (subject to any per-account character limits we permit), and you may not share, lend, sell, rent, gift, or transfer your account.

You are responsible for safeguarding your password and any second-factor authentication device, and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you. You must notify us immediately at [CONTACT_EMAIL] if you suspect unauthorized access.

We may refuse registration, suspend, or terminate any account that we believe in our reasonable discretion contains false information, is duplicative, or has been compromised or used in violation of these Terms.

Limited License

We let you play. We don't transfer the game to you.

Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial entertainment.

All right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all software, art, sprites, music, sounds, characters, names, dialog, source code, and the X Planet brand, are and remain the exclusive property of X Planet and its licensors. No rights are granted to you other than those expressly stated in these Terms.

You may not (a) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Service; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service except to the extent applicable law forbids that restriction; (c) rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or otherwise exploit the Service commercially; (d) remove or alter any proprietary notice; or (e) use the Service to develop a competing product.

Conduct Rules

Don't cheat. Don't be a jerk. We will ban you for either.

While using the Service you agree not to:

Cheat, exploit bugs, or gain an unfair advantage over other players;
Use bots, macros, scripts, automated tools, third-party clients, packet sniffers, memory editors, or any unauthorized software to interact with the Service;
Decompile, reverse engineer, or modify the client beyond the limits of applicable law;
Access the Service through any interface other than the one we provide;
Harass, threaten, stalk, dox, defame, or impersonate any person; post content that is hateful, sexually explicit, violent, or unlawful; or engage in conduct that is harmful to minors;
Engage in real-money trading (RMT) of accounts, characters, virtual items, gold, premium currency, or in-game services outside the channels we authorize;
Buy, sell, gift, or transfer accounts, including for cryptocurrency, gift cards, or any other consideration;
Spam, advertise, phish, or transmit malware, viruses, or any code intended to damage the Service or other players;
Scrape, mass-collect, or republish data from the Service except via APIs we expressly authorize;
Evade a ban, suspension, or other enforcement action by creating a new account or using another person's account; or
Encourage or assist any other person in doing any of the above.

We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, review, edit, refuse, or remove any content or activity at our discretion. Decisions on enforcement are at our sole discretion. Conduct that violates these rules may result in warning, content removal, character or account suspension, permanent ban, forfeiture of virtual items and currency, and where appropriate referral to law enforcement.

Your Content

When you chat, pick a character name, or customize your hero, you give us a license to display it.

“User Content” means anything you submit, transmit, or display through the Service: chat and party messages, character names, character appearance, journal entries, support tickets, and similar material that does not fall under §7 (Community Editor Submissions).

You retain whatever ownership rights you have in your User Content. By submitting User Content you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, and distribute that User Content for the purposes of operating, providing, improving, marketing, and promoting the Service. This license continues for as long as the User Content remains on the Service plus a reasonable period to remove it from backups.

You represent that (a) you own or have the necessary rights in your User Content, (b) it does not infringe any third-party right, and (c) it complies with these Terms and applicable law.

We may rename, hide, or remove any User Content (including character names) that we determine in our reasonable discretion violates these Terms, infringes a third-party right, or is otherwise inappropriate. We have no obligation to do so and no liability for content we leave up.

Community Editor Submissions

If you submit items, NPCs, tiles, or maps via the Community Editors, you give us a broad, permanent license to put them in the game.

We provide Community Editors that let you propose items, non-player characters, tiles, maps, and similar content for inclusion in the live game (collectively, “Community Submissions”). Community Submissions are content created specifically for incorporation into a shared, persistent game world, and so the rights you grant us in them are broader than the rights in §6.

By making a Community Submission, you grant X Planet and its successors a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, exclusive (or non-exclusive at our option), sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works of, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute, and otherwise exploit the Community Submission, in any media now known or later developed, for any purpose connected with the Service, our business, or successor products. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert, any moral rights, droit moral, rights of paternity, integrity, or similar rights in the Community Submission.

You represent and warrant that the Community Submission is your original work or that you have all rights necessary to grant the foregoing license, that it does not infringe any third-party right, and that it does not contain any content prohibited by these Terms or applicable law. You also acknowledge that we may receive similar submissions from other users and that nothing in these Terms restricts our right to develop or use similar material independently.

We are not obligated to accept, use, attribute, or compensate any Community Submission. Where we do accept and use a Community Submission, attribution will follow the conventions described on the relevant editor page (typically your in-game name credited in-world).

Virtual Items, Currency & Premium Currency

In-game items, gold, and premium currency are licenses, not property. They have no real-world value and you can't cash them out.

The Service includes virtual items, in-game gold, premium currency, characters, equipment, plots of land, houses, pets, faction reputation, and similar virtual goods (collectively, “Virtual Goods”). Virtual Goods are a personal, limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use a feature of the Service. They are not your property, do not constitute money or any equivalent, have no monetary value, and cannot be redeemed for real money or transferred outside the Service.

You acknowledge and agree that:

You have no ownership, title, or other proprietary interest in any Virtual Goods;
Virtual Goods are not insured by any deposit, securities, or similar protection;
We may modify, manage, balance, regulate, suspend, eliminate, or revoke Virtual Goods at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including for game-balance reasons;
Virtual Goods may be lost, removed, or forfeited as a result of character death, in-game mechanics, account closure, ban, suspension, server resets or wipes, or termination of the Service;
Premium currency is not a refund mechanism — once purchased, premium currency may be spent on Virtual Goods but, except where required by applicable consumer law, may not be exchanged back for the original payment method; and
Real-money trading of Virtual Goods outside channels we authorize is prohibited and may result in loss of those Virtual Goods and the account.

Payments & Refunds

Card payments go through Stripe. We don't see your card data. Generally non-refundable, but we follow local law.

Card and similar payments are processed by our payment processor, Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”). Your use of the payment processor is subject to its own terms and privacy policy. We do not receive or store your full payment card data; we receive only metadata such as the last four digits and the brand of the card you used.

You agree to pay all charges incurred from your account at the prices in effect when the charge is incurred, plus any applicable taxes. You authorize us and our payment processor to charge your selected payment method for those amounts.

Except where required by applicable consumer law, all purchases are final and [REFUND_WINDOW]. If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with a statutory cooling-off right, that right applies; however, you acknowledge that for digital content delivered immediately (including in-game items, premium currency, and access to subscription content), the cooling-off right may be lost upon first use.

To request a refund where we have discretion to grant one, contact [CONTACT_EMAIL] within thirty (30) days of the charge with the order ID and a brief explanation. We may refuse a refund request that we believe is fraudulent, abusive, or made in connection with conduct that violates these Terms. We do not refund Virtual Goods consumed, used, or transferred in-game.

Subscriptions

Subscriptions auto-renew until you cancel. You manage them through Stripe.

Some features of the Service are offered on a recurring subscription basis. By starting a subscription, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your payment method on a recurring basis (monthly, annually, or as otherwise disclosed at checkout) at the then-current price plus applicable taxes, until you cancel.

You may cancel a subscription at any time through the Stripe Customer Portal or by contacting [CONTACT_EMAIL]. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep access until then. Except where required by law, we do not pro-rate or refund partial periods.

We may change subscription pricing on notice. We will give at least thirty (30) days' notice before a price change applies to your renewal, sent to the email on file or shown in-game. If you do not accept the new price, you must cancel before it takes effect.

Cryptocurrency Payments

Crypto payments are irreversible and you handle your own wallet. You're responsible for taxes. Sanctioned countries can't pay this way.

HIGH-RISK PAYMENT METHOD Cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. Send only what you can afford to lose. We are not your wallet, your custodian, or your tax adviser.

Where we make cryptocurrency payment available, those payments are processed by NOWPayments or another third-party processor we designate. Cryptocurrency-denominated payments are subject to additional terms:

Self-custody. You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet, private keys, and any device used to authorize payment. We do not custody your funds and cannot recover them if you lose access.
Volatility. Cryptocurrency prices fluctuate. The price quoted at checkout reflects an exchange rate for a limited time. If your transaction is not confirmed within that window, the price may change or the transaction may be rejected.
Irreversibility. Cryptocurrency transactions are final. We cannot refund a payment to a different wallet than the originating wallet, and we cannot reverse a transaction once it has been broadcast to the relevant network.
Underpayment / overpayment / failed transactions. If your payment is short, late, dropped from the mempool, or affected by a chain reorganization, the order may be voided. Overpayments and confirmed-but-unmatched payments may be returned net of network fees, at our or the processor's discretion.
AML / KYC reservation. We reserve the right to request identity verification, source-of-funds documentation, or additional information for any cryptocurrency transaction, and to delay, freeze, or reverse where reasonably feasible any transaction we believe may be associated with money laundering, sanctions evasion, fraud, or other unlawful activity.
Sanctioned jurisdictions. You represent that you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or a national of any country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions by the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, or any other relevant sanctions authority, and that you do not appear on any government sanctions list (including the U.S. Treasury OFAC SDN List). We may block payment from sanctioned jurisdictions and report transactions where required by law.
Taxes. You are solely responsible for determining and paying any taxes that apply to you in connection with cryptocurrency payments. We do not provide tax advice.

Player Trades

Trades between players are at your own risk. We don't reverse them.

The Service includes peer-to-peer trading of Virtual Goods between players (“Player Trades”). Player Trades are between you and the other player; we are not a party to them. You are responsible for verifying the other party, the items being exchanged, and the terms of the trade.

Once a Player Trade is confirmed in-game, it is final. We do not reverse, undo, or compensate Player Trades, including those alleged to involve scams, social engineering, account compromise on the counterparty's side, or unintended item movement. Where in-game tools (such as trade blocks) are available to you, use them; we are not obligated to mediate disputes.

We may, at our discretion, take action against players who repeatedly engage in fraudulent trade behavior, but doing so does not entitle the affected player to restoration of items or currency.

PvP & In-Game Loss

This game has player-versus-player combat. You can lose items, gold, and progress in combat. That is the game.

The Service is a multiplayer game with combat between players, in some areas with full-loot consequences. Loss of Virtual Goods, gold, character progress, faction reputation, or any other in-game state through combat, death, possession mechanics, environmental hazards, in-game theft, or any other in-game system is a feature of the Service, not a defect. We are not liable for any such loss and will not restore items or progress lost through normal gameplay.

AI-Generated Content

Quests, dialog, and other content may be generated by Grok (xAI). The output may be inaccurate, weird, or offensive. It is not advice.

Some content delivered through the Service — including but not limited to non-player character dialog, quest text, briefings, and event narrative — is generated, in whole or in part, by large language models and other generative artificial intelligence systems, including the Grok model operated by xAI Corp. (“xAI”). Use of the Service involves the transmission of prompt material to xAI; xAI's processing of that material is subject to xAI's terms of service and privacy policy.

You acknowledge that AI-generated content may be inaccurate, offensive, biased, outdated, fabricated, or otherwise unexpected, and that it does not reflect the views of X Planet, its operators, or its contributors. AI-generated content is provided for entertainment only and is not professional, legal, medical, financial, or other expert advice; you must not rely on it for any consequential decision. We may filter, regenerate, withhold, or refuse AI-generated output at our discretion, and we make no commitment that any particular content will be available, repeatable, or consistent.

As between you and us, you acquire no ownership, copyright, or other intellectual-property right in AI-generated content shown to you through the Service. To the extent any such right would otherwise vest in you, you assign it to us, or, if assignment is not permitted in your jurisdiction, you grant us the broadest license that jurisdiction permits.

Anti-Cheat & Client Inspection

We check for cheats. We may ban you for using them. Bans are not refundable.

To preserve fair play we may collect, inspect, and analyze technical telemetry from the client and the Service, including process information, game-state checks, behavioral signals, and similar diagnostic data, and we may use automated systems and human review to detect cheating, exploitation, or other prohibited conduct. We make no representation that detection is exhaustive or accurate, and we may act on a reasonable belief of misconduct without proof to a forensic standard.

Bans, suspensions, account closures, and Virtual Goods forfeitures imposed for violation of §5 (Conduct) or any other provision of these Terms are not eligible for refund. Where we offer an appeal process, it is at our discretion and a request does not entitle you to restoration.

Beta / Early Access

The game is in active development. Things may break. Data may be wiped. Access may be revoked.

BETA SOFTWARE X Planet is a beta service offered on an invite-only basis. Worlds, characters, items, currency, and other state may be reset or wiped in part or in whole at any time and without notice.

The Service is currently provided on a beta or early-access basis. You acknowledge that: (a) features may be added, changed, removed, or broken at any time; (b) characters, items, gold, premium currency, plots of land, and other in-game state may be reset, rolled back, migrated, or wiped without notice and without compensation; (c) access is invite-only and we may revoke access at any time at our discretion; and (d) data loss, instability, downtime, and bugs are an expected part of the experience.

Service Availability

We don't guarantee the game is always up.

We strive to keep the Service available, but we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. We may, at any time and without notice, take all or part of the Service offline for maintenance, updates, balance changes, security incidents, or any other reason. We are not liable for any unavailability of the Service or for any consequences of it, and you are not entitled to compensation, credits, or extensions for downtime.

Termination

We can suspend or close your account if you break the rules. You can close yours any time.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account and your access to all or part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason, including for violation of these Terms, suspected fraud, suspected unauthorized access, requirement of law, or our discontinuation of the Service. On termination of your account, your right to use the Service ends immediately, and we may delete or de-identify your User Content and Virtual Goods.

You may close your account at any time by contacting [CONTACT_EMAIL]. Closure does not entitle you to a refund of amounts already paid, and Virtual Goods are forfeited on closure.

The provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including §4 (Limited License), §6 (Your Content), §7 (Community Editor Submissions), §8 (Virtual Goods), §22 (Disclaimers), §23 (Liability Cap), §24 (Indemnification), §25 (Governing Law), and §28 (Severability).

Changes to the Service & These Terms

We can change the game and these terms. We'll let you know about important changes. Continued play means you accept the change.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, including features, areas, content, items, currencies, and pricing.

We may also amend these Terms from time to time. We will post the amended Terms on the Service with an updated “Effective” date and, for material changes, give at least thirty (30) days' notice via email, login banner, or other reasonable means before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of amended Terms constitutes acceptance of those Terms. If you do not accept the amended Terms, you must stop using the Service.

Privacy

How we handle your data is in the Privacy Policy.

Our handling of personal information in connection with the Service is described in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service you agree to that Privacy Policy.

DMCA / Copyright Infringement

If something on X Planet infringes your copyright, here's how to tell us.

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to valid notices of claimed copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) and equivalent laws of other jurisdictions.

Notice of infringement

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes (a) a physical or electronic signature of the rights owner or authorized agent; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it on the Service; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Send notices to our designated agent: [DMCA_AGENT].

Counter-notice

If you believe content you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the same agent that includes the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3).

Repeat infringers

We will, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others.

Disclaimers

The game is provided "as is." No warranties.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS, OR BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Limitation of Liability

Our total liability is capped at $100 or what you paid us in the last 12 months, whichever is greater. We're not liable for indirect damages.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL X PLANET, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR VIRTUAL GOODS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Indemnification

If your actions get us sued, you cover us.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless X Planet and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (c) your User Content or Community Submissions; or (d) your infringement or alleged infringement of any third-party right. We may, at our election, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate with us at your expense.

Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

Disputes go to courts in [jurisdiction TBD]. First we try to work things out informally for 30 days.

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the Service are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of [GOVERNING_LAW], without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Informal resolution first

Before filing a formal claim, you agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at [CONTACT_EMAIL] with a detailed description and the relief requested. We will try to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days from receipt of the notice.

Forum

If the dispute is not resolved informally, you and we agree that any action will be brought exclusively in the courts of competent jurisdiction located in [GOVERNING_LAW], and you and we consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

This section does not limit any right you have under mandatory consumer law to bring a claim in your country of residence or before a relevant authority there.

Force Majeure

We're not liable when things outside our control break the service.

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failure, third-party service outages, attacks on the Service, or pandemics.

Assignment & Change of Control

We can transfer this agreement if we're acquired. You can't transfer your account.

We may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law, without your consent. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. Any prohibited assignment is void.

Severability, Entire Agreement, No Waiver

If one part is unenforceable, the rest still applies. This is the whole agreement. We don't waive a rule by not enforcing it once.

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and any other documents incorporated by reference) constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on the subject. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. Headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.
