Agreement and eligibility
By accessing Crownlands, you agree to these Terms of Use, the current Game Rules, and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the game or submit information through its services. Crownlands is a general-audience strategy game and is not directed to children below the age required to consent to online services in their location without authorization from a parent or guardian.
You are responsible for using an authentication account you are authorized to control and for protecting access to that account. Do not share passwords, authentication codes, active sessions, or account tokens.
Shared-world service
Crownlands is an actively developed multiplayer game. The server is authoritative for ownership, resources, armies, battles, rewards, clans, rankings, and other shared outcomes. The interface may briefly display cached or estimated information during a reconnect; the validated server result controls.
Availability is not guaranteed. Maintenance, security incidents, provider outages, world-capacity limits, balance releases, migrations, and resets may interrupt or change the service. When practical, significant changes will be explained through the public Updates page or the in-game patch notes.
Virtual kingdoms and resources
Accounts receive access to a revocable game service, not ownership of server records. Cities, troops, gold, gear, items, skills, experience, clan status, rankings, and rewards are virtual gameplay resources. They have no cash value, cannot be redeemed for money, and may not be sold, transferred for payment, or represented as a financial asset.
Balance changes can alter prices, production, power, limits, availability, or progression. Crownlands may correct duplicated resources, invalid rewards, impossible orders, or other state created through a defect or prohibited action.
Crown purchases and refunds
When purchases are enabled for your account, the Crown pack is a one-time purchase of 1,000 Crowns for US$4.99, including any applicable tax. Stripe presents the final payment details before you pay. Crownlands makes purchases available worldwide where Stripe and applicable law permit; availability may vary by location and payment method.
Crowns buy cosmetic appearances and, when hunting is enabled in the current realm, stamina refills that allow additional NPC hunts. A refill restores stamina to 100 and costs the missing amount multiplied by 30/100, rounded up to a whole Crown. For example, 70 to 100 stamina costs 9 Crowns. The purchase review shows the exact price and amount restored before confirmation. Only one successful paid refill is available per account per UTC day, resetting at 00:00 UTC; a full stamina bar cannot be purchased again. Refills apply immediately and do not create a Bag item. Failed or duplicate requests do not create another charge or consume another allowance. Crowns cannot be transferred, traded, redeemed for cash or converted directly into Gold or troops. Crown balances, owned city skins, stamina and the current UTC-day refill allowance persist across seasons. A paid order delivers Crowns to the signed-in account after server verification; returning from Checkout alone does not confirm payment. Sandbox purchases use test currency only.
For purchase problems or a refund request, email crownlandsmail@gmail.com with your username, order reference, purchase date and reason. Refund requests receive manual, case-by-case review; submitting a request does not automatically issue a refund. Nothing in this policy limits any refund, cancellation or other consumer rights that apply by law.
Acceptable use
You may play normally, use the public guides, discuss strategy, report defects, and share your own screenshots or commentary. You may not operate bots, macros, packet replays, modified clients, scripted gameplay, credential attacks, denial-of-service activity, or tools designed to bypass server validation, rate limits, protection systems, or advertising reward verification.
Do not attempt to access another person's private data, forge identity or clan fields, exploit race conditions, manufacture rankings through coordinated throwaway accounts, publish malicious links, or use community features for harassment, hate, threats, scams, sexual content, or disclosure of personal information. The detailed Game Rules are incorporated into these terms.
Guides, artwork, and game materials
The Crownlands name, original game interface, world presentation, guides, calculations, screenshots, and project artwork are provided for playing, learning about, and discussing Crownlands. You may link to public pages and share reasonable excerpts with attribution. You may not present the project as your own, republish substantial guide content as a competing site, remove ownership notices, or use game materials to mislead players.
Third-party services, libraries, fonts, authentication systems, hosting, and advertising technology remain subject to their respective owners' rights and terms.
Moderation and enforcement
Crownlands may reject actions, remove prohibited public text, reverse invalid state where practical, rate-limit access, preserve relevant security records, or suspend associated accounts when conduct threatens players, the service, or fair competition. Enforcement may consider server records, severity, repetition, attempts to conceal abuse, and the risk created for other people.
Responsible security reports should stop before accessing private data or changing another player's state. Submit the minimum information necessary through Support or the public issue tracker and do not publish active exploit instructions while the issue remains unresolved.
Disclaimers and changes
Crownlands is provided on an “as available” basis as permitted by applicable law. The project does not promise uninterrupted access, preservation of a particular balance value, continued control of a virtual holding, or compatibility with every browser and device. Nothing in these terms excludes rights that cannot legally be excluded.
These terms may be updated when the game, providers, or legal requirements change. Material revisions will change the effective date above. Continuing to use Crownlands after an update means the current terms apply.
