TERMS & CONDITIONS

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern use of Wave Breakers (the “Game”), operated by Duskflare Studios (“we,” “us,” or “our”), based in the United Arab Emirates. These Terms should be read together with the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy.

1. About Wave Breakers

Wave Breakers is a browser-based arcade/action game for entertainment. It is designed for a family and youth audience. It is not a gambling product, medical service, or educational certification service.

2. Guest Play and Age Rules

Anyone permitted by applicable law may play the Game in Guest mode. Guest progress is stored locally and may be lost if browser data is cleared or the player changes browser or device. Guest players cannot make real-money purchases.

Players under 16 may create a cloud account only after the required parent or legal guardian approval process has been completed. Players aged 16 or older may create their own cloud account, subject to applicable law. If the required approval or verification cannot be completed, the player may continue as a Guest where permitted.

Parents and legal guardians are responsible for supervising a child’s use of the Game to the extent required by applicable law and for purchase decisions they authorize.

3. Accounts and Security

Cloud accounts use a username and Game PIN. One account is intended for one player. Do not share accounts, impersonate another person, provide false information to bypass age or parental controls, or create accounts to evade restrictions.

Keep the username and Game PIN secure. If credentials are lost and no available recovery method can verify the account, we may be unable to restore access. We may apply reasonable security checks, rate limits, or lockouts to protect accounts.

Eligible Guest progress may be migrated into a newly approved cloud account. Server-side validation may limit or reject invalid, manipulated, or unsupported progress, virtual currency, or paid entitlements.

4. Parent-Approved Child Accounts

For a player under 16, the parent or legal guardian must complete the account-approval process before the cloud account is activated. Approval may include reviewing the children’s privacy information, affirmatively approving the account, confirming parental or guardian status, creating a separate Parent PIN, and receiving a confirmation message.

The parent may later withdraw approval or request deletion, subject to reasonable verification and any information we must retain by law. If applicable law requires a different or stronger verification method than Wave Breakers offers, the cloud account may remain unavailable and the player may continue in Guest mode.

5. Coins, Credits, and Digital Content

Coins are earned through gameplay. Coins have no cash value, cannot be purchased for cash, and cannot be redeemed for money.

Credits are premium virtual currency that may be purchased with real money or included in a bundle. Coins, Credits, characters, skins, weapons, upgrades, and other digital items are licensed for personal use in Wave Breakers only. They are not money, cannot be cashed out, and cannot be transferred to another player or another game unless we expressly provide that feature or applicable law requires otherwise.

We may adjust future pricing, earning rates, balancing, or uses of Coins and Credits. We will not intentionally remove valid purchased entitlements except where reasonably necessary to correct a transaction, process a refund or chargeback, address fraud or abuse, comply with law, or discontinue the relevant service, subject to mandatory consumer rights.

6. Purchases and Parental Purchase Authorization

Real-money purchases are available only through an eligible cloud account. Paddle processes transactions as merchant of record. The product, price, and applicable checkout information are shown before payment is confirmed.

For an under-16 account, parental approval of the account does not authorize purchases. Each real-money purchase must pass the parental purchase-authorization control required by the Game, such as entry of the separate Parent/Purchase PIN, before checkout opens or the transaction proceeds.

Do not use another person’s payment method or Parent/Purchase PIN without authorization. Parents should keep the Parent/Purchase PIN separate from the child’s Game PIN and should not disclose it to the child.

If a payment is refunded, reversed, charged back, cancelled, or found to be fraudulent, we may revoke the corresponding Credits, digital items, or entitlements, subject to applicable law.

7. No Public Social Features at Launch

At launch, Wave Breakers does not provide public leaderboards, public player profiles, or player-to-player text or voice chat. If we later introduce social or public features, we will review the privacy and safety requirements and update the Game and legal notices before making those features available.

8. Acceptable Use

Do not:

• use cheats, bots, exploits, modified requests, or bugs to gain an unfair advantage or unearned Coins, Credits, items, or entitlements;
• attempt to access another player’s account, parental controls, payment information, or data;
• provide false information to bypass age, account, purchase, or parental controls;
• disrupt, reverse-engineer, attack, or interfere with the Game or its services except to the extent applicable law expressly permits; or
• use the Game for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful purposes.

We may suspend, restrict, or close an account where we reasonably believe these rules have been seriously or repeatedly broken, or where action is reasonably necessary to protect players, the Game, payments, or our systems. Mandatory legal and consumer rights remain unaffected.

9. Account Closure and Deletion

A player may stop using the Game at any time. An account holder or verified parent/legal guardian may request account deletion. We may suspend or terminate accounts for serious or repeated breaches, fraud, abuse, security risk, unauthorized payment activity, or conduct that materially harms the Game or its players.

Deletion of an account may permanently remove cloud progress and access to account-bound content. We may retain limited records where required for transactions, accounting, fraud prevention, disputes, security, or legal compliance.

10. Intellectual Property

Wave Breakers, including its art, music, sounds, characters, names, code, designs, and other content, is owned by or licensed to Duskflare Studios and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may use the Game for personal, non-commercial entertainment. You may not copy, redistribute, sell, or commercially exploit Game content without permission, except where applicable law permits otherwise.

11. Availability, Changes, and Discontinuation

We may update, rebalance, fix, add, remove, or change Game features. We do not promise that the Game will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free. If we discontinue the Game or a material paid feature, we will take reasonable steps to provide notice where appropriate and any remedy required by applicable law.

12. Warranty Disclaimer

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Game is provided “as is” and “as available.” We take reasonable steps to operate and secure it, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, compatibility with every device or browser, or that every error will be corrected.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Duskflare Studios is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of the Game. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for claims relating to the Game is limited to the amount actually paid for the Game or its paid content during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability, remedies, or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms when the Game, our services, or applicable legal requirements change. For significant changes, we will update the date and, where appropriate, provide notice in the Game or to the relevant account holder or parent.

15. Governing Law and Mandatory Rights

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates, subject to mandatory consumer, privacy, child-protection, or other rights that apply under the laws of the player’s country or region and cannot lawfully be excluded.
