Last updated on May 28, 2025.
Effective from May 28, 2025.
This Terms of Use (the "Agreement") describes the terms and conditions under which House Ravenwolf, LLC ("HRW," "I," or "me") provides you access to my website (the "Site") and the online game services provided through the Site (collectively, with the Site, the "Services").
If you wish to install and play my videogames (each, a "Game"), you must first read and agree to the end user license agreement provided with the Game (the "EULA").
The EULA governs the terms regarding your use of the Game and this Agreement governs your use of the Services.
Please read this Agreement carefully.
This Agreement is a legal contract between you and HRW.
By accessing my Services, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit or exclude your rights under any mandatory consumer laws in your jurisdiction of residence.
If you do not agree to all the terms in this Agreement, you are not permitted to use the Services.
I reserve the right to modify this Agreement at any time.
If I make a material change to this Agreement, I will provide appropriate notice in advance of the modified Agreement taking effect.
Your continued use of the Services after notice of posting or notice of such changes constitutes your acceptance of this latest version of this Agreement.
If you do not agree to the modified Agreement, you may terminate your use of the Services, but you will remain liable for any unpaid amounts due and payable to any Digital Storefront.
1. Your Use of the Services
1.1. Age Restrictions and Legal Responsibility.
As used in this Agreement, "you" means the individual user interacting with my Services, or if such user is below the minimum legal age of adulthood in their country of residence ("Minor"), the user's parent or legal guardian entering into this Agreement on their behalf.
Minors must ask their parent or guardian to review and explain this Agreement to them, and to agree to this Agreement on their behalf.
If you are the parent or guardian of a Minor and you agreed to this Agreement on their behalf, you agree that you will be responsible for all uses of the Services, including any Accounts, by that Minor whether or not such uses were explicitly authorized by you.
You are legally and financially responsible for all of your actions while using or accessing the Services (including any Accounts), including the actions of anyone you allow to access the Services and Accounts.
1.2. Your Account.
Some elements of the Services may require that you create an account when you access certain features of the Services for the first time (each an "Account").
To create an Account, you may be asked to provide an email address, a username, a password, and such other information as I may deem necessary in connection with the creation of your Account.
All of this information will be processed and stored in accordance with my Privacy Policy.
You must provide accurate, current, and complete information about you when creating an Account.
You are responsible for keeping your Account username and password secret.
You also agree not to sell, transfer, or share your Account, or your Account's username or password, and you agree to notify me immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your Account.
I have the right to deny the creation of any Account, for any legitimate reason, and I reserve the right to terminate any Account that violates this Agreement in accordance with the termination provisions below and to delete any Account information in accordance with my Privacy Policy.

- Any Claims seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or HRW's intellectual property rights;
- Any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and
- Any claim for equitable relief.
12.4. Warranty Disclaimer.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS."
NEITHER HRW, NOR ANY OF MY OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, PROMISES, OR GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER AS TO THE SERVICES, SOFTWARE, DIGITAL PRODUCTS, CONTENT, THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, OR OTHER SERVICES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE.
HRW DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY YOUR LOCAL LAW, HRW DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING FOR NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND THOSE ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
USE OF THE SERVICES AND/OR THE CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you.
12.5. Limited Physical Products Warranty.
For physical products I make myself, I warrant to the original consumer purchaser of the physical products that they (the "Goods") will be free from defects in material and workmanship for 90 days from the date of purchase under normal use.
If the Goods are found to be defective within 90 days of the original purchase, I agree to replace, free of charge, the applicable defective Goods within the applicable 90 day period, upon my receipt of the Goods (postage paid, with proof of the date of purchase) so long as the Goods are still being made by me.
If the Goods are no longer available, I reserve the right to substitute similar goods of equal or greater value, or issue a refund itf this is not possible.
This warranty is limited to the Goods, as originally provided by me, and is not applicable to normal wear and tear.
This warranty shall not apply if the claimed defect arises through abuse, misuse, mistreatment, or neglect of the applicable Goods.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
12.6. Limitations of Liability.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL HRW BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE LOSSES OR DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR SYSTEM FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION OR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, BUSINESS OR GOOD-WILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, IN NO CASE SHALL THE LIABILITY OF HRW EXCEED THE AMOUNT THAT YOU PAID TO ME OR MY DESIGNEES DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE TIME YOUR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE.
The limitations and disclaimers in this Agreement do not purport to limit liability or alter your rights as a user that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the liability of HRW shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
