Terms of Use
Last Updated: December, 2019
Crystal Forge Games LLC, its parent company Elusive Concepts LLC, and its affiliates, licensors and third party partners (collectively, “CFG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have created these Terms of Use to govern your use of our various consumer websites (collectively, “CFG Websites,” “CFG Sites,” “Websites,” or “Sites”), as well as your interactions with us including, without limitation, registering an account, participating in online games, contacting us, or posting in our forums (“Services”). Your use of our Websites or Services constitutes your acceptance of these Terms of Use as well as our Privacy Policy (collectively, “Terms of Use”). We may update these Terms of Use from time to time, at our sole discretion, and without notice. Your continued use of the Websites or Services after any such update constitutes your acceptance of such update. The Websites and Services may also contain additional terms that govern particular features or offers (for example, sweepstakes or special functionality).
In the event that these Terms of Use conflict with additional terms and conditions, these Terms of Use shall control.
By visiting our Websites, contacting us or using the Services, you (1) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand these Terms of Use, (2) agree to be bound by them, and (3) that you have the ability and authority to accept them.
If you do not agree with these Terms of Use or are unable to accept them, you are not authorized to use our Websites or Services or register an account.
General Terms
1. Account Subscription.
a. Registration. While some elements of the Websites may be accessible to the public, certain aspects of the Services (e.g., creating a profile, subscribing to online services, posting in forums, or participating in oonline games) may require that you register an account. To register an account, you will be asked to provide your date of birth and country/region, and then provide an email address, a user name, and a password. To gain access to other Services (e.g., invitations to special events, promotions, and prize payments), you may be asked to provide your full name, address, city, state, and country. You agree to: (i) provide accurate, current and complete information about you as may be prompted by any registration forms for the Services (“Registration Data”); and (ii) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, and any other account-related information you provide to CFG.
b. Passwords and Security. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. You also agree not to share your account, user name, or password, and agree to notify CFG immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account.

Your account may be deleted and your access to the Services terminated without warning if we believe that you are under thirteen (13) years old and are using the Services without parental/guardian permission. Please note that the purchase or use of certain Services may have different eligibility requirements, including a higher minimum age requirement, as specified in any additional terms governing such Services.
2. Use of Websites and Services.
a. License. Subject to your compliance with these Terms of Use, the Websites, Services, play test materials, and other CFG offerings are provided to you on a nonexclusive, fully revocable basis, and solely for your individual and non-commercial use. CFG may terminate or suspend any or all portions of the Websites or Services at any time and for any reason with no liability to you.
b. Restrictions. You agree not to engage in any of the following:
- use any means including, without limitation, agents, robots, scripts, or spiders to access, monitor, data scrape, link or frame to content, images or artwork (except as expressly authorized by CFG), or copy or transfer any part of the Websites or Services (including, without limitation, any Registration Data);
- probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Websites or Services, or breach the security or authentication measures on the Websites or any part of the Services;
- reverse look-up, trace or seek to trace any Registration Data in any way and for any reason;
- take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the infrastructure of the Websites or Services;
- use any device, software, or program to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working or authorized uses of the Websites or Services, or with any other person's use of the Websites or Services;
- forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any message transmittal you send on or through the Websites or via the Services;
- impersonate any other individual or entity or misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with another individual or entity;
- use the Websites or Services in an illegal manner or for any unlawful purpose;
- or violate any applicable rules, policies, guidelines, or fan kit policies.
The Websites and Services are for your personal use and may not be used in connection with any commercial endeavors. Illegal or unauthorized use of the Websites or Services including collecting user names or email addresses for the purpose of sending unsolicited email is strictly prohibited. Commercial advertisements (via emails, forums, etc.) and other forms of solicitation in violation of these Terms of Use may be removed from the Websites and Services without notice and may result in termination of your account.
c. Alpha/Beta Testing. The Services may include alpha or beta testing or other play testing of products or services, features, functionality, and all components thereof (whether in final or prerelease form). Except to the extent otherwise provided in another agreement between you and CFG, your participation in any such activity and your use of any content, information, or other materials in connection with such activities are subject to these Terms of Use as well as any other applicable rules and requirements.
d. Consent to Account Access. To ensure that CFG can provide high-quality services that are responsive to your needs, you understand that CFG representatives will have access to your account, Websites usage, Registration Data, and purchasing information. You authorize our representatives to review such information as reasonably necessary to investigate complaints, to provide you with customer services, or for such other purposes as contemplated in our Privacy Policy.
3. Fees and Payments.
CFG uses third-party payment providers (e.g., PayPal and Stripe) to authenticate payment when you purchase our products and applicable Services. CFG does not directly process payments, but rather works with its third party partners. When you purchase games or products from our Websites, you are interacting with CFG and our third party partners. Please read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of applicable third party partners to understand their terms and conditions.
You may provide a card to be kept on file for automatic renewal of subscription services or for use as a default payment type. Card details are maintained through our third-party provider (Stripe) and are never hosted on CFG servers. By providing a card to be kept on file and enabling auto renewal, you are granting CFG permission to initiate a payment or a series of payments on your behalf. The frequency and amount of payments depends on your active subscription plan.
3.1 Subscription Services
CFG provides subscription services to its users for ad-free use, private or exclusive content, and enhanced user services. Subscription plans include a free tier as well as multiple levels of paid tiers. All registered users are subscribed to the free tier upon registration, unless you choose to purchase a paid subscription plan. You may change your subscription plan at any time by logging into your account and visiting your account details page or by visiting the subscriptions page.
Paid Subscriptions - Paid subscription plans are pre-paid for their duration which means your card is charged at the beginning of the subscription period. When you purchase a subscription you will be asked to provide a valid credit card which will be charged immediately as per the subscription plan. Your subscription will then be active for the duration of the subscription plan. If you choose to have your subscription to automatically renew, your card will be kept on file with our payment provider and charged again when your current subscription plan expires. You may change your subscription plan or disable auto-renewal at any time by logging into your account and visiting your account details page (see Upgrading a Subscription Plan and Downgrading a Subscription Plan below).
Upgrading a Subscription Plan - When you upgrade from one subscription tier to a higher level tier, you will be asked to provide a valid credit card. If you have an active paid subscription, the the cost of the new plan will be prorated for any time remaining on your current plan. The prorated cost of the new plan will be charged to your card immediately. If your subscription is set to automatically renew, it will be renewed for the full price of the new subscription plan at the end of the plan's duration.
Downgrading a Subscription Plan - Subscription plans are prepaid for the plan duration and downgrading a subscription plan takes effect at the end of the current subscription period. Your current subscription will remain active until its expiration date (e.g. if you have paid for a yearly tier 4 subscription and downgrade to tier 1 after 6 months, you will continue to have tier 4 access for the remaining 6 months). If you downgrade to another paid subscription plan and your subscription is set to automatically renew, it will then be renewed for the price and duration of the new plan. If you downgrade to a free tier or disable automatic renewal, then your subscription will be changed to the free tier at the end of the current plan period.
Cancelling a Subscription - All registered users are "subscribed" to the free tier unless they have selected to purchase a paid tier subscription. If you choose to cancel your subscription but maintain your user account, your subscription plan will be downgraded to the free tier (see Downgrading a Subscription Plan above). To completely cancel a subscription you must delete your user account, which can be done by logging in and visiting your account details page. If you delete your account, any remaining paid subscription time is lost and will not be refunded.
4. Links to Other Sites.
The Websites and Services may contain links to third party websites. These links are provided as a convenience to you. We do not control and are not responsible for the content of such third party websites or the conduct of the operators of such third party websites, and we do not make any representations regarding the accuracy, copyright or other statutory or regulatory compliance, legality or decency of any of the content or other materials on such third party websites.

You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owed to any person by reason of any User Content posted by you.
You are solely responsible for the User Content that you post, store or upload on or through the Websites and Services. CFG does not have an obligation to delete, screen or edit any of the User Content posted, stored or uploaded on or through the Websites and Services; however CFG reserves the right to delete, screen or edit any User Content posted, stored or uploaded at any time and for any reason without notice. Without limiting the foregoing, CFG may remove any User Content that in the sole judgment of CFG violates these Terms of Use.
6. Intellectual Property Ownership; Rights Granted to You.
The Websites and Services (including all CFG generated content residing thereon) are the sole property of CFG, and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws (“CFG Intellectual Property”). You are granted a limited, revocable, non-sub-licensable right to access and use CFG Intellectual Property solely in connection with your personal and non-commercial use of the Websites and Services.
