Terms of Service
Effective: 18 May 2026
Welcome to Blackjack Battles! Our service is a competitive two-player
card game where you can play head-to-head matches and tournaments using
in-game soft currency (Coins) or, where supported, AVAX
cryptocurrency on the Avalanche C-Chain (the Services).
All features and limitations of the Services are described in more
detail on our website (the Site) at bjb.gg and game.bjb.gg.
In these Terms, when we say you or your, we mean you as an individual accepting these Terms for yourself. When we say we, us, or our, we mean LFG Interactive Ltd (BVI BC No. 2156033), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lightning Forge Games Pty Ltd (ACN 678 849 440). LFG Interactive Ltd is the operator of the Services.
These terms and conditions (Terms) form our contract with you, and set out our obligations as a service provider and your obligations as a player. You cannot use the Services unless you agree to these Terms.
Some capitalised words have defined meanings, listed at the end of these Terms.
Our Disclosures
Please read these Terms carefully before you accept. We draw your attention to:
- our Privacy Policy (on the Site) which sets out how we will handle your personal information;
- clause 1.8 (Variations) which sets out how we may amend these Terms;
- clause 3 (Eligibility, KYC and Geographic Restrictions) which sets out who may use the Services;
- clause 5 (Coins) and clause 6 (AVAX, Vaults and Match Settlement) which describe the two currencies the Services use and the risks of each;
- Coins have no monetary value, are non-transferable, and cannot be redeemed for real-world currency or crypto (see clause 5);
- clause 7 (Skill-Based Competition; Not a Casino) which describes the nature of the Services;
- clause 8 (Acceptable Use, Bots and AI Agents) which sets out what you may and may not do, including the rules that apply to LFG Agents and MCP Agents; and
- clause 16 (Liability) which sets out exclusions and limitations to our liability.
We may receive a benefit (which may include a referral fee, a commission, or platform fees) from your play and from our Affiliate Program (clause 11). These Terms do not intend to limit your rights and remedies at law, including any of your Consumer Law Rights.
1. Engagement and Term
1.1 These Terms apply from the time you agree to them, until the date they are terminated in accordance with their terms (the Term).
1.2 Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we will provide you with access to the Services.
1.3 We will not be responsible for any other services unless expressly set out in these Terms or on the Site.
1.4 If we provide you with access to any new or beta features (including, for example, new tournament formats, the LFG Agent or MCP Agent systems, new card sets, or new wagering tiers), you acknowledge that because of the developmental nature of such features, you use them at your own risk and we have no obligation to maintain them or provide error corrections. We may discontinue any beta feature at any time at our sole discretion.
1.5 Non-custody of AVAX. We are not a wallet provider, exchange, broker, financial institution, money transmitter, or virtual asset service provider. We do not have custody or control over the AVAX, vaults, or other on-chain assets you interact with through the Services. We do not execute, effect, or facilitate purchases, transfers, or sales of AVAX between users or between you and any third party. AVAX entries into matches and tournaments settle between your Player Vault smart contract and our Platform Wallet under terms you authorise; we never hold your AVAX as a custodian. See clause 6 for detail.
1.6 You understand and agree that we are not party to any agreement entered into between you and any other digital asset trading exchange, on-ramp, bridge, wallet provider, or platform. You bear full responsibility for verifying the legitimacy and authenticity of any AVAX or other digital assets you acquire from third parties before depositing them to your Player Vault.
1.7 Where you engage third parties to operate alongside the Services (for example, your external wallet provider, an exchange or on-ramp, an RPC node provider, or an external AI agent connected through our MCP server), those third parties are independent of us and you are responsible for (meaning we will not be liable for) the goods or services they provide, unless we expressly agree otherwise.
1.8 Variations. We may amend these Terms at any time, by providing written notice to you (which may be delivered by in-game news, email, or notification on the Site). By clicking "I accept" or by continuing to use the Services after the notice — or 30 days after notification, whichever is earlier — you agree to the amended Terms. If you do not agree to the amendment, you should cease using the Services and may withdraw any AVAX from your Player Vault at any time (you do not need our involvement to do so).
2. Account
2.1 You must register an Account in order to access and use the Services. Account registration uses email one-time passcode (OTP) authentication.
2.2 During registration you must provide accurate and complete identification information, including your legal name, date of birth, country of residence (and, where applicable, sub-national jurisdiction such as US state or Canadian province), nationality, and a chosen Display Name. We may refuse registration, suspend, or terminate any Account where the information provided is false, incomplete, or in breach of clause 3.
2.3 You may optionally connect a digital asset wallet (the Connected Wallet) to your Account in order to fund a Player Vault and access AVAX-denominated features. By connecting a wallet, you agree that you are using that wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable wallet provider. We have no affiliation with any wallet provider and accept no responsibility or liability for your wallet, its security, its custody of your private keys, or the conduct of its provider.
2.4 While you have an Account with us, you agree to:
(a) keep your information up-to-date (and ensure it remains true, accurate and complete), and to notify us within a reasonable time of any change to your country of residence, nationality, or other information that affects your eligibility under clause 3;
(b) keep your email address and OTP codes secure and confidential, and protect them from misuse or being stolen;
(c) keep your Connected Wallet credentials, seed phrases, and signing keys secure — we cannot recover assets lost through compromise of your wallet; and
(d) notify us promptly if you become aware of, or have reason to suspect, any unauthorised access to your Account or your Connected Wallet.
2.5 You may have only one Account. You may not register multiple Accounts, register on behalf of another person, allow another person to use your Account, or use the Services in connection with any other Account other than your own. Multi-accounting is a breach of these Terms and may result in suspension, termination, and forfeiture of any in-game balances.
2.6 You are solely responsible for your Account, your Connected Wallet, and any Player Vault deployed for your benefit. We are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account or for the consequences of your Account or wallet being compromised.
2.7 If you close your Account, you will lose access to the Services. Your Coin balance is forfeited on Account closure (Coins have no monetary value — see clause 5). AVAX held in your Player Vault remains under your sole control and can be withdrawn by you at any time using the vault's on-chain interface, with or without our involvement.
3. Eligibility, KYC and Geographic Restrictions
3.1 Age. You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use the Services. We verify age through the date of birth you provide at registration, and we may at any time require additional documentary verification.
3.2 Identity verification (KYC). You consent to our collection and verification of identity information at registration and at later milestones (including, but not limited to, before participating in AVAX-denominated matches or tournaments, before withdrawing AVAX-denominated prizes above thresholds we publish from time to time, and as required by applicable law). We may use third-party identity verification providers as sub-processors (see our Privacy Policy).
3.3 Geographic restrictions. The Services are not available to residents of, or persons accessing the Services from, jurisdictions outside our published allowlist. The current allowlist includes 136 countries; the United States is restricted to a subset of states; Canada is restricted to a subset of provinces; and certain countries are excluded entirely. The Services are not offered to residents of Australia and certain other jurisdictions for regulatory reasons. We block access at the network edge based on detected location, and we may also block based on the country of residence and nationality you declare at registration. You must not attempt to circumvent these blocks (for example, by using a VPN, proxy, or false declaration). Doing so is a breach of these Terms and may result in forfeiture of any in-game balances and AVAX held in any Player Vault deployed for your benefit (without prejudice to your continued ability to withdraw AVAX directly from the vault smart contract).
3.4 Sanctioned persons and sanctioned jurisdictions. You represent and warrant that you are not (a) located in, resident in, or a national of any country subject to comprehensive sanctions by the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United Nations, or the British Virgin Islands; or (b) on any list of prohibited or restricted parties maintained by any of those authorities. You agree that our Services may not be used in connection with money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, or any other illicit purpose.
3.5 Tax residency and reporting. You are solely responsible for determining the tax consequences of your use of the Services, including any wins or losses denominated in Coins or AVAX, and for filing all required tax returns in your jurisdiction(s) of tax residency. We do not provide tax advice. We may be required by law to report on your activity to revenue authorities; you agree to provide us with information reasonably necessary for us to comply.
4. Licence
4.1 During the Term, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Services in accordance with these Terms. This right cannot be passed on or transferred to any other person.
4.2 If any software, content, artwork, music, card art, character art, code, or other materials owned by, controlled by, or licensed to us is distributed or made available to you as part of your use of the Services, we grant you a non-commercial, personal, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to access and display those materials for the sole purpose of enabling your use of the Services.
4.3 We may publish community guidelines, fair-play guidelines, and tournament rules from time to time, which you agree to comply with and to act in good faith with regard to other players and our staff.
5. Coins
5.1 Coins are an in-game soft currency. Coins are awarded in connection with your use of the Services (including a starting grant on Account creation, prizes, daily quests, leaderboard races, and pre-registration bonuses) and may be purchased using AVAX through our in-game store.
5.2 Coins have no monetary value, are non-transferable, and cannot be redeemed for real-world currency or crypto. For the avoidance of doubt, Coins are not real money, not legal tender, not a security, not a deposit, and not redeemable for fiat currency, AVAX, or any other thing of value outside the Services. Coins are non-transferable between Accounts (other than as part of an authorised LFG Agent funding flow described in clause 8.2(d)). Coins exist solely as a record on our systems of your in-game wagering credit and are governed exclusively by these Terms.
5.3 Coin purchases are final. Coin packages purchased from the in-game store are non-refundable except where required by your Consumer Law Rights or by applicable law. Coin balances expire on Account closure or termination of these Terms and are not transferable.
5.4 We may, in our discretion, adjust, expire, freeze, or remove Coins from your Account where we reasonably determine that those Coins were obtained through fraud, exploitation of a bug, breach of these Terms, chargeback, or error.
6. AVAX, Vaults and Match Settlement
6.1 Player Vault smart contract. When you opt into AVAX-denominated features, our Site facilitates the deployment of an immutable smart contract (your Player Vault) on the Avalanche C-Chain. The Player Vault is deployed at an address you control via your Connected Wallet, holds AVAX you fund into it, and provides time-limited and revocable spend authorisations to a Match Escrow contract operated under deterministic on-chain rules. You retain sole custody of the AVAX in your Player Vault at all times. You can withdraw your AVAX directly through the smart contract without our involvement.
6.2 Match Escrow. When you opt to enter an AVAX-denominated match or tournament, your Player Vault and your opponent's Player Vault each transfer the buy-in amount, plus the platform fee (clause 6.4), into a deterministic Match Escrow contract under spend authorisations you have signed. At match settlement, the escrow distributes the prize to the winner's Player Vault and the platform fee to our Platform Wallet according to the on-chain match outcome. We do not take possession of your AVAX in any other way. We do not act as a counterparty to the wager.
6.3 Provably fair RNG. Match seeds are generated by a cryptographically secure random number generator and pre-committed on-chain via Merkle tree batches before match start. After a match is settled, the seed and merkle proof are revealed so that any player can independently verify that the deck shuffle and card draws were not manipulated. We make no representation or warranty as to the outcome of any individual match — only as to the integrity of the random seed.
6.4 Platform fee (rake). A platform fee is charged on every Coin-denominated and AVAX-denominated match and tournament. The platform fee is calculated as a percentage of the buy-in (currently 10%), is charged on top of the buy-in (poker-style), and is retained by us as compensation for operating the Services. The fee is disclosed in the user interface before you confirm any entry. Stake tiers, fees, and prize structures may change from time to time.
6.5 AVAX risks. By acquiring, holding, or wagering AVAX through the Services, you assume risks including:
(a) Volatility. The market price of AVAX is highly volatile. AVAX you wager, hold, or win may decrease or increase substantially in value relative to fiat currencies. There is no guarantee that AVAX will retain any value.
(b) Wallet, key and software risk. You may lose access to AVAX in your Player Vault if you lose your Connected Wallet, your private keys or seed phrase, or due to malicious software or code introduction. We cannot recover lost AVAX.
(c) Smart contract risk. Despite reasonable security measures (including external audits, where conducted), smart contracts may contain bugs or be subject to exploits. The Player Vault and Match Escrow contracts are non-upgradeable. We will use reasonable endeavours to disclose known issues, but make no warranty that the contracts are free of defects.
(d) Network risk. The Avalanche network may be unavailable, congested, forked, reorganised, or subject to validator failures. We are not responsible for delays, failed transactions, or losses caused by Avalanche network conditions.
(e) On-ramp, exchange and bridge risk. AVAX you bring to your Player Vault may have been acquired through third-party exchanges, on-ramps, or bridges that are independent of us. We are not responsible for those services.
(f) Regulatory risk. Cryptocurrency regulation is evolving and may change in your jurisdiction in ways that affect your ability to use the Services or to convert AVAX to fiat. You are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction.
(g) Counterparty risk. Your Player Vault interacts with our Match Escrow under deterministic rules. If our operating company ceases business, you retain the ability to withdraw all AVAX from your Player Vault using the vault smart contract directly.
(h) Tax risk. Wins and losses denominated in AVAX may be taxable in your jurisdiction. See clause 3.5.
6.6 No reversal of on-chain transactions. On-chain transactions, once confirmed, are irreversible. You are responsible for verifying transactions and amounts before signing them.
6.7 AVAX → Coin store. Where supported, you may purchase Coins by paying AVAX to a designated address. Coins purchased in this way are non-redeemable and non-transferable and remain subject to clause 5. There is no facility to convert Coins back to AVAX or to fiat. Promotional AVAX Tickets issued by us (for example, as race or freeroll prizes) may be redeemed only as a buy-in for a single AVAX-denominated match; tickets have no cash value and expire on the date stated when issued.
6.8 Sufficient balance. You must hold sufficient AVAX in your Player Vault to cover the buy-in, the platform fee, and Avalanche network gas costs before you can confirm an AVAX-denominated entry. Gas costs are charged by the Avalanche network, not by us, and are non-refundable.
7. Skill-Based Competition; Not a Casino
7.1 Skill-based competitive gaming. Blackjack Battles is a head-to-head competitive card game played between two human or autonomous players. Outcomes are determined predominantly by your skilful selection and use of cards, your timing of decisions, your management of risk, your knowledge of the matchup, and your matchmaking rating — and not by chance alone. There is no dealer and no house counterparty. Prize pools are funded by the participants' buy-ins; we are not a counterparty to any wager.
7.2 The Services include strategic mechanics (including, but not limited to, modifier "hand cards", deck management, life systems, and bracketed tournament play) that distinguish them from casino blackjack. We do not characterise the Services as gambling. However, the regulatory characterisation of skill-based wagering varies by jurisdiction. You are responsible for determining the lawfulness of your participation in your jurisdiction.
7.3 Matchmaking and rating. Ranked matches use a Glicko-2 rating system to pair you with opponents of comparable skill. We do not guarantee that any particular match will be balanced, that the matchmaker will pair you with any particular opponent, or that any particular outcome will be achieved.
8. Acceptable Use, Bots and AI Agents
8.1 You must not:
(a) access or use the Services in any way that is improper or breaches any laws, infringes any person's rights (including intellectual property rights and privacy rights), or gives rise to any civil or criminal liability;
(b) interfere with or interrupt the supply of the Services, or any other person's access to or use of the Services;
(c) introduce any viruses or other malicious software code into the Services;
(d) use any unauthorised or modified version of the Services, including for the purpose of building similar or competitive software, replaying, scraping, or copying our Services, or for the purpose of obtaining unauthorised access to the Services;
(e) attempt to access any data or log into any server or account that you are not expressly authorised to access;
(f) use the Services in any way that involves service bureau use, outsourcing, renting, reselling, sublicensing, concurrent use of a single user login, or time-sharing;
(g) circumvent user authentication or security of any of our networks, systems, or hosts, or those of any third party (including but not limited to using VPNs, proxies, or false declarations to bypass our geo-restrictions in clause 3.3);
(h) access or use the Services to transmit, publish or communicate material that is defamatory, offensive, abusive, indecent, menacing, harassing, or unwanted, including in player display names, custom chat (where available), or tournament identifiers;
(i) access the Services from a different Account or Connected Wallet if we have suspended, terminated, or blocked any of your other Accounts or Connected Wallets, unless you have our written permission first;
(j) reverse engineer, duplicate, decompile, disassemble, or decode any aspect of the Services, or do anything that might discover source code or bypass or circumvent measures employed to prevent or limit access to any service, area, or code of the Services;
(k) use the Services or any data collected from the Services for any advertising or direct marketing activity (including email marketing, SMS marketing, and telemarketing) without our prior written consent;
(l) use the Services for money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, or other illicit finance;
(m) collude with another player, share match information, soft-play, dump chips, multi-account, "ghost" (receive real-time advice from a third party who can see your hand), or otherwise act dishonestly to manipulate the outcome of a match, tournament, or leaderboard race;
(n) automate gameplay or use bots, scripts, or external decision-making software, except as expressly permitted under clauses 8.2 and 8.3 below;
(o) participate in a match or tournament round against your own LFG Agent, MCP Agent, or any other Account or agent operated by you, except where tournament bracket seeding has placed you and your agent into opposite halves and you meet in a Final;
(p) exploit any bug, glitch, error, or unintended behaviour of the Services for advantage; you must report bugs to us promptly;
(q) attempt to identify, locate, dox, or contact other players outside of the in-game systems we provide;
(r) use the Services in any way that competes with our business; or
(s) use the Services in a manner inconsistent with these Terms or any rule we publish.
8.2 LFG Agents. The Services include a feature allowing you to create one or more "LFG Agents" — autonomous AI players that you own and that play matches on your behalf. LFG Agents are subject to additional rules:
(a) you may operate one active LFG Agent and one active MCP Agent at a time;
(b) LFG Agents play under their own identity, not yours, and are subject to the same matchmaking, fair play, and economy rules as human players;
(c) LFG Agents cannot be matched against you, against each other under your control, or against an MCP Agent you operate, except where tournament bracket seeding has placed you and your agent into opposite halves and you meet in a Final;
(d) you are responsible for the entry fees, prizes, wins, and losses incurred by your LFG Agent. Funds held in an LFG Agent's wallet are an internal record on our systems and are subject to the same Coin / AVAX rules in clauses 5 and 6;
(e) you must not use a LFG Agent to circumvent any restriction in these Terms; and
(f) we may at any time disable, undeploy, or rate-limit a LFG Agent that we reasonably consider to be malfunctioning, exploitative, or in breach of these Terms.
8.3 MCP Agents. The Services expose a Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface that allows external AI agents (operated by you using third-party software, including but not limited to Claude Code or other LLM clients) to connect and play matches on your behalf. MCP Agents are subject to:
(a) OAuth 2.1 authorisation and short-lived access tokens;
(b) per-agent rate limits;
(c) the same fair play, anti-collusion, anti-multi-accounting, and economy rules as human players and LFG Agents; and
(d) all rules in clause 8.2 above.
You are responsible for the conduct of any MCP Agent operated by you, including conduct of the third-party software you connect through the MCP interface.
8.4 Automation outside the LFG / MCP framework is prohibited. Any other form of bot, script, scraping, click-injection, or AI-assisted play is a serious breach of these Terms and may result in immediate suspension, termination, and forfeiture of in-game balances.
8.5 Enforcement. Where we reasonably suspect a breach of clauses 8.1 to 8.4, we may suspend your Account, restrict access to the Services, freeze pending Coin or in-game balances, exclude you from leaderboards, races, or tournaments, void match outcomes, and report your conduct to law-enforcement or regulatory authorities. We will use reasonable endeavours to give you an opportunity to respond before terminating an Account, except where immediate action is necessary to protect other players or our systems.
9. Tournaments, Races and Promotions
9.1 We may from time to time offer tournaments, leaderboard races, daily quests, and other promotional events with their own rules, entry windows, prize structures, and tie-breakers. These supplementary rules are incorporated into these Terms by reference and apply to all participants in the relevant event.
9.2 We may cancel, postpone, or modify any tournament, race, or promotion at any time, including for technical reasons, insufficient participation, suspected fraud, or in the event of a force majeure event (clause 16.3). Where we cancel an event for which you have paid an entry fee, we will refund the entry fee in the same currency in which it was paid (less any non-refundable Avalanche network gas costs in the case of AVAX entries), or where we cancel a Coin race for which prizes have been escrowed, we will return unfilled prize amounts to our platform wallet.
9.3 Prize claiming. Prizes from tournaments, races, and promotions are credited to your in-game wallet (Coin prizes) or to your Player Vault (AVAX prizes) in accordance with the timing and procedures published for the relevant event. You are responsible for claiming prizes within any stated claim window. Unclaimed prizes after the claim window may be forfeited.
10. VIP / Loyalty Program
10.1 We operate a loyalty program (the VIP Program) under which you may accrue points based on your activity. Points may be redeemed in our Points Store for in-game items or other benefits. VIP points are not redeemable for cash, AVAX, or rakeback, and have no value outside the VIP Program. VIP tiers, points accrual rates, store inventory, and reset cadence may change from time to time.
11. Affiliate Program
11.1 We operate an affiliate program (the Affiliate Program) under which approved players may earn commission on the platform fees generated by AVAX matches played by players they refer. The Affiliate Program is opt-in and admin-approved. Commission accrues only on completed AVAX matches, is capped at a published rate, and is paid out in accordance with our published payout schedule. Coin matches generate no affiliate commission. Approval, suspension, and termination of an affiliate are at our discretion.
11.2 Affiliates must not engage in misleading marketing, spam, false claims about the Services, or marketing that targets minors or residents of restricted jurisdictions (clause 3.3).
12. Intellectual Property and Data
12.1 We own all intellectual property rights in the Services, including how the Services look and function, our copyrighted works, trademarks, inventions, designs, card art, character art, music, code, and other intellectual property. You agree not to copy or otherwise misuse our intellectual property without our written permission, and you must not alter or remove any confidentiality, copyright, or other ownership notice placed on the Services.
12.2 We may use any feedback or suggestions that you give us (including in support tickets, bug reports, our Discord, or community channels) in any manner we see fit, and no benefit will be owed to you as a result of any use by us of your feedback.
12.3 Replays and match recordings. We record metadata, deck and card play sequences, and outcomes for every match played on the Services for purposes including replay, anti-fraud, dispute resolution, AI training (including imitation training of LFG Agents at your direction), spectating, leaderboards, race verification, and analytics. By using the Services you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide licence to record, store, replay, broadcast, and analyse this match data. We will not publish your personal information in connection with replays beyond the Display Name and aggregate statistics that already appear in the user interface.
Your Data
12.4 We do not own any of Your Data, but when you enter or upload any of Your Data into the Services, you grant us the right to access, analyse, back up, copy, store, transmit, and otherwise use Your Data for the duration of your use of the Services (and for a reasonable period afterwards), and to disclose it to our service providers, in order to:
(a) supply the Services to you;
(b) diagnose problems with the Services;
(c) improve, develop, and protect the Services (including training our matchmaking and anti-fraud models on anonymised gameplay metadata, and — at your direction — imitation-training your own LFG Agent on your own replays);
(d) send you information we think may be of interest to you, based on your marketing preferences;
(e) perform analytics for the purpose of remedying bugs or issues with the Services and reporting on our business; or
(f) perform our obligations under these Terms (as reasonably required) and comply with applicable law.
12.5 You acknowledge and agree that, because of the nature of the internet and the Avalanche network, the processing and transmission of Your Data may occur over various networks.
12.6 You are responsible for the integrity of Your Data on your systems and devices, and for backing up Your Data.
12.7 We may create anonymised statistical data from Your Data and your usage of the Services. Once anonymised, we own that data and may use it for our own purposes, including providing and improving the Services and publishing aggregate statistics.
12.8 If you do not provide Your Data to us, it may impact your ability to receive the Services.
12.9 This clause 12 will survive the termination or expiry of these Terms.
13. Confidential Information and Personal Information
13.1 While using the Services, you may share confidential information with us, and you may become aware of confidential information about us. You agree not to use our confidential information, and to take reasonable steps to protect our confidential information from being disclosed without our permission, and we agree to do the same for your confidential information. Either party may share confidential information with legal or regulatory authorities if required by law to do so.
13.2 We collect, hold, disclose, and use any Personal Information you provide to us in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy laws. You consent to our processing of your Personal Information for the purposes set out in our Privacy Policy, including identity verification (KYC), fraud prevention, sanctions screening, regulatory reporting, and analytics through our analytics sub-processors.
13.3 You must only disclose Personal Information about other people to us if you have the right to do so.
13.4 We may need to disclose Personal Information to third parties, including our related companies, identity verification providers, payment / on-ramp partners, hosting and infrastructure providers, customer support providers, and our professional advisers.
13.5 Where we are required by law to report on our activities (including AML/CTF, sanctions, gaming-regulator, and tax reporting), you acknowledge that we may request information from you to meet our requirements, and you agree to provide us with such information within the timeframes reasonably requested by us.
13.6 This clause 13 will survive the termination or expiry of these Terms.
14. Availability, Disruption and Downtime
14.1 While we strive to make the Services available to you, we do not promise that they will be available 100% of the time. The Services may be disrupted during certain periods, including as a result of scheduled or emergency maintenance, deployment of new features, or third-party outages.
14.2 The Services interact with, and rely on, products and services provided by third parties, including cloud hosting providers, the Avalanche network and its validators, RPC providers, identity verification providers, and email delivery providers. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for disruptions or downtime caused by these third parties.
14.3 Where reasonably possible, we will try to provide notice of planned disruptions through the Site or in-game news system.
14.4 In-flight matches. If a match is interrupted by a disruption to the Services or by our scheduled maintenance, we will use reasonable endeavours either to resume the match (using the reconnect / rejoin facility built into the Services) or to refund all entry fees in full. Where a match was funded with AVAX and the on-chain Match Escrow has already been funded but not yet settled, the Match Escrow's deterministic refund / cancellation rules will apply.
15. Consumer Law Rights
15.1 In some jurisdictions, you have guarantees, rights, or other remedies provided by law (Consumer Law Rights), and these Terms do not restrict your Consumer Law Rights. We will only be bound by your Consumer Law Rights and the express wording of these Terms.
15.2 This clause 15 will survive the termination or expiry of these Terms.
16. Liability
16.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for, and you release us from liability for, any Liability caused or contributed to by, arising from, or in connection with:
(a) your computing environment (including your hardware, software, network, browser, operating system, Connected Wallet, and external AI client used to operate any MCP Agent);
(b) any use of the Services by a person or entity other than you (including any unauthorised use of your Account or Connected Wallet);
(c) any AVAX held in, sent to, or received from your Player Vault, including loss caused by smart contract exploits, network forks or reorganisations, validator failures, gas costs, or your loss of access to your Connected Wallet (subject to clause 6);
(d) the price or market value of AVAX or any other digital asset; or
(e) the conduct of any other player, LFG Agent, or MCP Agent.
16.2 Regardless of anything else stated in these Terms, to the maximum extent permitted by law:
(a) neither party is liable for any Consequential Loss;
(b) a party's liability for any Liability under these Terms will be reduced proportionately to the extent the Liability was caused or contributed to by the other party, including any failure by the other party to mitigate its loss;
(c) where the Services are not ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic, or household use, in respect of any failure by us to comply with relevant Consumer Law Rights, our Liability is limited (at our discretion) to supplying the Services again or paying the cost of having the Services supplied again; and
(d) our aggregate liability to you for any Liability arising from or in connection with these Terms will be limited to the greater of (i) the total platform fees you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the Liability, or (ii) US$1,000.
16.3 Force majeure. We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform our obligations (including provision of the Services) if such delay or failure is caused or contributed to by an event or circumstance beyond our reasonable control, including (without limitation) acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, epidemic, government action, sanctions, regulatory order, network outage, denial-of-service attack, blockchain consensus failure, fork, reorganisation, or third-party service provider failure.
