Terms of Service

The Deal

You pay money. You get a territory. As others join, its size will evolve — but relative to everyone else, it will always accurately reflect what you paid. That's the deal. By using this site, you agree to these terms.

What You're Paying For

Let's be crystal clear: you're paying for a piece of stained glass that only exists on a website. That's it. It's not an investment. It's not a token. It has no resale value. You're paying to exist in our little universe. The value is entirely what you make of it.

Currency

All payments are processed in USD. If you're paying from outside the US, your bank or card provider will handle the conversion at their rates. We don't control exchange fees — take it up with your bank, not us.

No Refunds

Payments are final. Once you exist, you exist. We won't refund your existence. Think carefully before you pay — though honestly, if you're the type to demand refunds for philosophical art projects, this probably isn't for you anyway.

Your Content

You're responsible for what you put on your territory. Don't be terrible. Specifically, don't use your territory for:

• ·Hate speech or harassment
• ·Illegal content or activities
• ·Spam or scams
• ·Impersonating others
• ·Anything that would make us regret building this

We reserve the right to remove any territory that violates these guidelines. No refund if we do.

Account Deletion

You can delete your account whenever you want. Your territory will disappear. Your data will be erased. You'll stop existing (on this site, at least). No refund for unused existence.

Service Availability

We'll do our best to keep the site running, but we can't guarantee 100% uptime. Sometimes servers crash. Sometimes we need maintenance. Your territory might occasionally be invisible, but it still exists in our database, waiting to return.

Changes to the Service

We might change things. Add features. Remove features. Redesign the whole thing. Your territory will persist through changes, but we can't promise the experience will stay exactly the same forever. That's life.

Liability

We're providing a fun, absurd art project. We're not liable for any damages, disappointments, existential crises, or revelations about the nature of capitalism that may result from using this service. Use at your own philosophical risk.

Changes to Terms

We might update these terms occasionally. We'll post the new version here. Continuing to use the site means you accept the new terms. We won't send you annoying emails about it.

"I have read and agree to the Terms of Service" — the biggest lie on the internet. But hey, at least ours is readable.
