Terms of Service

These terms apply when you play PigWars on Android or in a browser at pigwars.app. By playing, you agree to them. They are short on purpose.

The game

PigWars is free to play. Your pigs, their progress and anything you unlock in the game are a licence to use them in the game, not property you own, and they have no cash value. Permadeath is part of the game: a pig that dies in battle is not restored.

The game is still being developed. Balance, skills, rewards and features can change, and online play can be interrupted or reset while that happens.

Your account

• Keep your sign-in details to yourself. You're responsible for what happens on your account.
• Your stable and pig names must not be offensive, impersonate someone, or contain personal information. We may rename them.
• You can delete your account at any time — see Delete your data.

Fair play

Don't:

• cheat, or modify, reverse-engineer or tamper with the game client or its network traffic;
• exploit bugs to gain an advantage — report them instead;
• use bots or automation to play or to farm rewards;
• attack, overload or try to get unauthorised access to the servers.

We may suspend or delete accounts that do, and remove anything gained that way.

Ads and rewards

The Android app shows ads, as described in the Privacy Policy. Rewarded ads are always optional, and their rewards are cosmetic only — they never make a pig stronger.

Community skins and truffles

The Skin Studio lets you design a clothing skin and submit it. The short version: you keep what you made, we decide what goes into the game, and truffles are not money.

• Your images. Submit only images you made or are allowed to use. No logos or characters you don't own, nothing hateful, harassing or sexual, and nothing that shows someone's personal information.
• Your rights. You keep the rights to your design. By submitting it you give PigWars a free, worldwide licence to host, show and copy it in the game, on pigwars.app and when promoting the game. Players who already own a skin keep it, even if it is later withdrawn.
• Review. A person looks at every skin before anyone else sees it. We can refuse, rename or remove any skin at any time, and we owe you no more than the note we send.
• Reports. Any signed-in player can report a skin in the community gallery. Reported skins are hidden until we have looked at them.
• Likes. A skin joins the game's collection when it has enough likes (currently 100). One like per account, and likes should be honest: we may discard likes from accounts made to inflate a count, and remove the skin.
• Truffles. Truffles are an in-game currency with no cash value. You earn them by playing, you spend them on skins, and they cannot be bought, sold, traded or refunded. They can change or be reset while the game is in development. An author receives a share of the truffles when someone buys their skin, never money.
• Takedowns. To have a skin removed, whether it is yours or it infringes your rights, write to support@pigwars.app with the skin's link.

Community maps

The map editor lets you design a battlefield and submit it. The rules are those of community skins, with these differences:

• Your design. You keep the rights to your map. By submitting it you give PigWars a free, worldwide licence to host, show, copy and play it in the game, on pigwars.app and when promoting the game. If a map joins the official maps, the licence continues for as long as the game uses it.
• Names and text. A map's name and description must not contain links, advertising, or anything hateful, harassing or sexual. We can rename, refuse or remove any map at any time.
• Review, reports and likes. A person reviews every map before anyone else sees it, reported maps are hidden until we have looked, and a map joins the official maps when it has enough likes (currently 500, one per account, only from players who fought on it).
• Reward. When a map joins the official maps its author receives 200 truffles, once. Truffles have no cash value, as described above.

No warranty

PigWars is provided as it is, without guarantees that it will be available, error-free, or that progress will never be lost. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect loss arising from playing it. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer under the law where you live.

Changes

If these terms change, the date at the top changes too. Continuing to play after a change means you accept the new version.
