In order to access and use the full Service, including accumulating and redeeming Game Points, Virtual Items and Rewards, as well as posting User Content, you must create an account with FUNCADE. By creating an account, you agree to follow these rules to ensure the security of your account:

  • You must not share your FUNCADE Account login details, including your Facebook or Google account login details, or allow anyone else to access your FUNCADE Account, or do anything that may compromise its security. FUNCADE will never ask for your Facebook, Google, or email password, or initiate contact with you to request answers to your password security questions.
  • If you suspect or become aware of any breach of security, including any loss, theft, or unauthorized use of your FUNCADE Account, Facebook account, Google account, or any email/password combination used by your FUNCADE Account, you must immediately notify FUNCADE and modify your Facebook or Google login, if linked to your FUNCADE Account.
  • You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your FUNCADE Account and for any activity that occurs on your account, whether or not you authorized it. You acknowledge that FUNCADE may suspend your access or terminate your use of the Service if someone else uses it to engage in any activity that violates these Terms.
  • You agree to monitor your FUNCADE Account to restrict use by minors and to deny access to anyone under the age of 18.

License

The use of the Service requires a compatible mobile device with the Application, and FUNCADE does not guarantee compatibility. If you agree to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and applicable partner terms and conditions, FUNCADE grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to install and use a copy of the Application’s object code on one mobile device registered to your account. You may only use one device at a time and cannot have multiple accounts. FUNCADE also grants a limited scope, non-transferable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable personal license to access and use parts of the Service not included in the Application. The Service can only be used for personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes, and FUNCADE can revoke the license at any time for any reason. If any part of the Service is illegal in your jurisdiction, you cannot use it. You cannot modify, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Application, rent, lease, loan, resell, sublicense, distribute, transfer, or use it for third-party time-sharing or similar services, make copies, remove or interfere with security features, or delete copyright and proprietary notices. FUNCADE may upgrade the Application, and you agree to automatic upgrades and that these Terms will apply to all upgrades. This license does not constitute a sale of the Application or any copies, and FUNCADE and its third-party licensors or suppliers retain all rights. Standard carrier data charges may apply.

Virtual Items

When you use the FUNCADE Applications, you may obtain Virtual Items such as Game Tickets, Raffle Tickets, and Game Points through various means. However, it is important to note that you do not actually “own” these Virtual Items, and their amounts do not represent any balance of bitcoin or other cryptocurrency. Instead, earning Virtual Items grants you a limited license to use the software programs that are associated with them. If there are any issues with the game that affect the accumulation of Virtual Items, FUNCADE reserves the right to correct these errors.

Please be aware that FUNCADE does not recognize any transfers of Virtual Items that are conducted outside of the Service, nor does it allow the sale, gift, or trade of any in-game items unless it is expressly authorized by FUNCADE in writing. Therefore, you are not permitted to sell, trade, or sublicense any Virtual Items for real money or any other kind of value outside of the game without FUNCADE’s written permission. Attempting to do so will result in the termination of your account.

Please note that FUNCADE cannot be held liable for the loss of Virtual Items due to any unauthorized third-party activity, such as hacking, phishing, password mining, social engineering, or any other unauthorized third-party activity. FUNCADE either owns or has obtained the right to use all of the content that appears in the Service, including all content owned by its Rewards Partners and their affiliates. Therefore, you acknowledge and agree that you have no right or title to any content that appears in the Service, including the Virtual Items, whether they are “earned” in a game or “purchased” from FUNCADE.

Earning Game Points

As a user of our Services, you may earn loyalty points on our platform called “Game Points” by performing specific actions. Please note that Game Points do not hold any cash value.

If you are an Android user, you can earn Game Points by performing certain actions such as playing games or liking particular aspects of the Service. Please note that the examples given are not exhaustive and are provided solely for illustration purposes. It is important to note that Game Points are not and will not be awarded based on the outcome of any game played during your use of the Services.

If you are an iOS user, Game Points are earned for specific achievements such as registering a FUNCADE account or winning a game against an opponent.

Redeeming Game Points

You can earn Game Points on our platform by taking certain actions while using our Services. These points have no monetary value. If you choose to redeem your Game Points for cryptocurrency, you can request payment through specific means and subject to minimum amounts and limitations set out in the Service. FUNCADE may, at its sole discretion, reject, cancel, or terminate your request for payment for any reason whatsoever.

If your request is approved, we will send your payment to our third-party payment processor, currently Coinbase, who will process the payment on our behalf. You do not need a Coinbase account upon redemption, but you will be required to create one and validate it to claim your cryptocurrency within 30 days of the redemption request or as required by Coinbase. Once we send the cryptocurrency to the email address you provided, we will deduct the applicable number of Game Points from your account. Redemption requests are irreversible.

You are responsible for setting up your Coinbase account and keeping it in good status to claim your cryptocurrency. FUNCADE does not ensure that your redemption request will be honored, and we are not responsible for reporting or paying any applicable taxes or processing fees in respect of any Game Points you redeem for cryptocurrency. You agree to promptly pay all charges, including applicable taxes and processing fees in respect of any Game Points you redeem for cryptocurrency.

You may only send one redemption request every seven (7) days, and you must keep all your FUNCADE Account information current, including your email address and Coinbase payout address. FUNCADE reserves the right to change the number of Game Points awarded, conversion rates, fees, and charges associated with the Service without notice to you or any liability. Game Points have no cash or monetary value, are non-transferable, and cannot be sold, traded, bartered, bequeathed, or transferred to any other party. Any attempt to do so will invalidate the Reward and may result in the termination of your Account. Your personal information is subject to our Privacy Statement during the payment process.

Inactive Accounts

If you fail to use your Account by playing a game on a FUNCADE Application to completion within 30 days, your Account will be considered inactive. You can reactivate your Account at any time by completing a game on a FUNCADE Application. If your Account is inactive, FUNCADE may, at its discretion, expire any Virtual Items, Game Points, Game Tickets, or Raffle Tickets that you have accumulated. Additionally, any Rewards that you have purchased but not yet redeemed may also be expired. By agreeing to these terms, you acknowledge and agree that FUNCADE and its partners and affiliates will not be liable for any injuries, losses, or damages, direct or indirect, resulting from your inactivity on the Service or acceptance, possession, misuse, or use of any payments from FUNCADE.

Third Party Providers of Goods and Services

From time to time, we collaborate with third-party providers (“Reward Partners”) to offer additional opportunities for you to earn Virtual Items. However, the Reward Partners have the sole discretion to modify, adjust, suspend, cancel, or terminate any reward program they offer, as well as its terms and conditions, partially or entirely, at any time and with or without prior notice, for any reason or no reason at all. Any of these changes may affect your ability to collect certain Virtual Items that you have accumulated through the use of our Service. By using our Service, you agree that FUNCADE will not be held responsible for any action taken by a Reward Partner that affects you.

Termination

FUNCADE reserves the right to terminate or suspend Your Account, as well as Your access to the Service, at any time and without notice, including but not limited to the suspension of your ability to earn and redeem Virtual Items. This may occur in cases of breach of these Terms, such as registering with temporary or disposable email services, registering with invalid emails, registering with private domains, using VPNs, playing a game on multiple devices simultaneously, or for any other reason. Upon termination, Your access to the Service, including all User Content and Virtual Items, will be disabled and any Game Points you have accumulated will be lost. You may cancel Your Account at any time by discontinuing Your use of the Service and/or the Applications. FUNCADE will not be liable to You for any effects resulting from such termination or cancellation on Your use of the Service or the Virtual Items You have accumulated.

Health and Safety Notice

WARNING: PLEASE READ BEFORE PLAYING OR WATCHING

There is a risk of seizures for a very small percentage of people when exposed to certain visual images, such as flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. This risk is present even for individuals with no prior history of seizures or epilepsy. Such seizures are known as “photosensitive epileptic seizures” and may cause a range of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, shaking of limbs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness.

In some cases, seizures may also result in loss of consciousness or convulsions, leading to potential injury from falling or hitting nearby objects.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to immediately stop playing and consult with a doctor. To reduce the risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures, it is recommended to take certain precautions such as sitting farther from the screen, using a smaller screen, playing in a well-lit room, and avoiding playing when feeling drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, it is strongly advised to consult with a doctor before playing.
