Why in gods name would you ever want to email us?
Uh, ok: Fractured Veil is a game produced by Paddle Creek Games Incorporated. Founded by shadowy figures in the dead of night, PCG was started because the founders couldn’t not do games anymore, after a 12 year hiatus from the world of writing games.
PRIVACY POLICY
Here’s our no kakae privacy policy.
1) Here’s how Privacy Policies really work: We’re going to say some nice things, but if we are somehow not in charge anymore (our parachutes don’t open, we ski into a tree, get hit by a bus), this stuff might change in ways that is unpredictable. Sorry if that happens.
2) This privacy policy can and will likely change over the course of time. If for no other reason than the amount of legally required weird crap is likely to change over time. We’ll do our best to keep you updated when it changes, by blog posts, emailing you, via messages in your dashboard, phxiterm or something.
3) We are not spammers, we aren’t gonna sell your email address to anyone, but honestly, all bets are probably off if we all die in a horrible crash (see 1). Again, sorry. We will present unsubscribe links and other bits to conform with ideas of basic human decency and CANSPAM laws.
4) I Look, we don’t like it, but if the law says we have to, we’re gonna turn over your info to folks. We’re not going to jail over a video game. We can’t imagine why we’d get a FISL request for a player, but man, if we do, we’re gonna sell you out faster than you can say “Government overreach”, as the law requires.
5) We use the authentication systems and sub-libraries presented by vendors like Google, Facebook, Twitch and others, and they have their own privacy policies that subsume ours. Similarly, we host the game logic, servers, databases and the rest on Google’s Cloud. You should familiarize yourself with their pass through policies if you are a privacy policy completionist. We do not link to these here because those urls change often enough that you should just Google them.
If you have questions email legal@paddlecreekgames.com and we’ll chit chat about the privacy and the things.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
These are the agreements between y’all and us here at Paddle Creek Games.
1) We promise to cash your checks and takes your moolah.
2) We don’t promise to ever return your money.
3) We promise to try to provide a solid fun game for you to pay to play in…
4) …but updates and crashes are gonna happen, and that’s life, not a lawsuit.
5) We will be subject to the laws of the US and other national laws as appropriate and if they conflict with these terms, we fucked up, but we’ll do what we gotta.
6) Don’t misuse our services. We can kick you out for being a dickbag whenever we like, and we get to define what dick and bag mean.
7) Using our stuff doesn’t give you any rights to it.
8) Don’t break the law. I mean, seriously. Don’t break the law.
9) If you create stuff in our games, you can’t sue us over using it (you’d think this doesn’t happen, but …)
10) As much as we can, we take no legal responsibility for anything that happens, well, anywhere. We’re teflon, baby. Don’t try to stick stuff on us.
11) You agree you aren’t going to do anything that makes folks want to try to sue us, and if the do sue us for something you do, you agree to pay for any damages (so there).
12) REDACTED on order from the VeilCorp
13) We have lawyers, so if you do try to sue us, that’s not okay but we’re ready for you. Instead, we’re gonna arbitrate, and you are too! In legalese, “Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial [or other] Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.”
14) We will likely change this TOS, to something more professional looking, but which says the same thing, but with more $4(Canadian) words. We’ll try to update you when this happens, but if you miss it, or you see it and keep playing the game, you’ve agreed to it.
We know this TOS seems flip, but it’s actually pretty clear as to the deal with our future customers. We really like you, and want to make a fun game for you. That means sometimes there’ll be some trolls like our own general counsel that we’ll boot out of the game for being trollish in their trollingtivity.
FYI: TOS means “Terms of Service” and is largely the same as “Terms and Conditions”. It doesn’t mean “The Original Series” of Star Trek. The reality is that we probably like JJ Abrams’ TOS crew better than the ESP obsessed, soft lens antics of the late 60s. Notwithstanding the obvious shout out to Space Seed, which was amazing as all get out. You know, in many ways, we acknowledge that the best Trek was probably Galaxy Quest, followed by DS9. DS9 the first new thing in the trek universe since those first shows warped their ways into our brains. But I digress…
