Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the Blue Gum Horizon website ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should not use the Platform. These terms apply to all visitors and users of the Platform.

2. Nature of the Platform

Blue Gum Horizon is a free-to-play social entertainment platform. All games are provided for amusement purposes only. No real money, cryptocurrency, or items of real-world monetary value are used, wagered, earned, or exchanged through the Platform. Points, scores, badges, and streaks have no cash value and cannot be redeemed, traded, or converted into real currency or prizes.

The Platform does not constitute a gambling service. It does not facilitate real-money transactions of any kind. The Platform is not licensed as a gambling operation because it is not one.

3. Eligibility

The Platform is intended for individuals aged 18 years or older. By using the Platform, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. We implement an age confirmation prompt on first visit. While we rely on self-declaration, we expect all users to be truthful in their response.

4. User Conduct

You agree to use the Platform for personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes only. You agree not to:

• Attempt to access, modify, or interfere with the Platform's code, systems, or infrastructure
• Use automated tools, bots, or scrapers on the Platform beyond standard search engine crawling
• Reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit any content from the Platform without written permission
• Misrepresent the nature of the Platform to others, including claiming it offers real-money gaming

5. Intellectual Property

All content on the Platform — including text, graphics, game designs, code, SVG assets, and layout — is the intellectual property of Blue Gum Horizon unless otherwise stated. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from Platform content without prior written consent.

6. Data Storage

The Platform stores user preferences, scores, and game data locally in your web browser using localStorage. This data is not transmitted to our servers. We do not collect, store, or process personal information on any server. Clearing your browser data will remove all locally stored Platform data. Refer to our Privacy Policy for more details.

7. Third-Party Content

The Platform may display advertisements from third-party advertising networks. These advertisements are governed by the respective advertisers' terms and privacy policies. Blue Gum Horizon does not endorse, control, or accept responsibility for third-party content or services.

8. Disclaimers

The Platform is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or the accuracy of any content. While we strive to maintain a high-quality experience, temporary issues may occur.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Australian law, Blue Gum Horizon shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Platform. Given the Platform is entirely free and involves no financial transactions, the basis for any monetary claim is inherently limited.

10. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Australia. Any disputes arising from the use of the Platform shall be subject to the jurisdiction of Australian courts.
