All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved by us.
3. Ownership and Intellectual Property
The Software, including all content, code, features, updates, and documentation, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.
This Agreement does not transfer ownership of the Software to you. You receive only a licence to use the Software and do not receive ownership of any intellectual property rights in the Software.
4. Updates, Changes, and Availability
We may, from time to time:
* provide updates, patches, or bug fixes;

* engage in or promote gambling.
Gambling Restrictions
For the purposes of this Agreement, “gambling” includes, but is not limited to:
* wagering, staking, betting, or risking in-game items, currency, accounts, or services on the outcome of any game of chance or mixed chance and skill;
* using in-game mechanics, random number generation, duels, combat outcomes, mini-games, or third-party tools to simulate or facilitate gambling activities;
* operating, advertising, or participating in player-run lotteries, raffles, dice games, casinos, betting rings, or similar schemes, whether conducted manually or through automation; and
* exchanging or risking in-game items or currency for the possibility of receiving greater in-game value, whether or not real-world money is involved.
This prohibition applies regardless of whether:
* the gambling activity involves real-world money or only in-game items or currency;
* the activity is described as a “game”, “challenge”, “event”, or “contest”; or
* the activity is conducted privately between players or publicly within the Software.
Approved Community Activities
Notwithstanding the above prohibition, we may, in our sole discretion, permit limited community-led activities involving voluntary pooling or contribution of in-game currency or items for a proper, non-gambling purpose.
Any approved activity must:
* receive prior written approval from us;
* be entirely voluntary;
* not involve wagering, betting, or risking in-game items or currency on an outcome of chance or mixed chance and skill;
* treat contributions as donations with no guaranteed, expected, or probabilistic return;
* ensure rewards or benefits are not determined by chance or contingent on individual contributions; and
* comply with any conditions, limitations, or rules imposed by us.
Approved activities may include community events where in-game currency or items are pooled to fund shared objectives, prizes, or developer-sanctioned activities, provided the activity does not constitute gambling under this Agreement.
We reserve the right to revoke approval, impose additional conditions, or require cessation of any approved activity where we determine that the activity may undermine game integrity, applicable law, or this Agreement.
Additional Restrictions
Without our prior written consent, you must not:
* copy, modify, distribute, sell, or commercialise any part of the Software;
* reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code;
* use bots, scripts, macros, cheats, exploits, or automation tools;
* access the Software through unauthorised clients or software;
* overload, disrupt, or attempt to damage servers or infrastructure;
* scrape data or attempt to bypass security or technical limitations; or
* provide in-game services or items for real-world compensation outside the Software.
If you are between 13 and 18 years of age, you confirm that your parent or legal guardian has consented to your use of the Software.
We may suspend or terminate access if you breach this Agreement.
6. Privacy and Data Handling
We collect and process personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 and our Privacy Policy. This may include:
* account information;
* usage analytics;
* crash and performance data; and
* support communications.
