Terms of use
1. Who we are
Cities of the Tide is a browser game run by Digital Owwwl SRL, Str. Laloșu nr. 3, bl. 3A, sc. 1, et. 1, ap. 12, Sector 4, 041353 Bucharest, Romania, Trade Register no. J40/3147/2016, tax ID (CUI) RO35742894 ("we"). You can reach us at [email] or through Support in the game.
By creating an account you accept these terms. Please read them together with the Privacy policy.
2. The game
Cities of the Tide is free to play. It is still being developed: features, balance and game worlds change, and some parts may not work as they should yet.
3. Your account
- You must be at least 16 years old, or have the consent of a parent or guardian.
- One person may play one account per game world.
- Accounts that play from one internet connection (a family, a flat, a school) must declare it in Options (Shared connection). Declared accounts cannot send fleets, armies or spies to each other nor trade together. Undeclared accounts on one connection that deal with each other may be banned.
- Keep your password secret. You are responsible for what is done with your account.
- You may delete your town in a world at any time (Options → Delete account), and ask us to delete the whole account.
4. Fair play
You agree not to:
- use bots, scripts or other tools that play for you or give you an unfair advantage;
- exploit bugs (please report them through Support instead);
- share, sell or buy accounts, or play several accounts to help one another;
- harass, threaten or insult other players, or post illegal, hateful or sexual content in names, messages or alliance pages;
- pretend to be the team that runs the game;
- attack, overload or try to break into the game's servers.
If you break these rules we may, depending on how serious it is, warn you, remove names or texts, take back what was gained unfairly, suspend the account for a time or close it. You can ask us to look at a decision again by writing to [email].
5. Tidepearls
Tidepearls are the game's premium currency. Today they can only be earned in the game; they cannot be bought. They have no value in money, cannot be exchanged for money and cannot be passed to another account. If we ever offer them for sale, the conditions of that purchase (price, your right of withdrawal, refunds) will be added to these terms before it starts.
6. Changes to the game and its worlds
We may change, balance, reset, merge or close game worlds and features. We announce bigger changes in the game in advance where we can, and give at least 30 days' notice before we close a world or end the game.
7. Availability and liability
We try to keep the game running, but we cannot promise it is always available or free of errors, especially during maintenance or updates. As the game is free, we are liable only for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health. Nothing in these terms limits rights that consumer law gives you and that cannot be waived.
8. Your content
You keep the rights to what you write (messages, alliance texts, names). You allow us to store and show it in the game as far as running the game needs. We may remove content that breaks these terms or the law. You can report such content to us through Support.
9. Our content
The game, its pictures, texts and code belong to Digital Owwwl SRL. You may use them to play. You are welcome to stream, record and post videos and pictures of the game, also on channels that earn money, as long as you do not suggest they come from us.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We tell you in the game about important changes at least 14 days before they apply; if you do not agree, you can delete your account before then.
11. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by Romanian law. If you are a consumer living in another country of the European Union, you also keep the protection of the rules of your country that cannot be set aside by agreement, and you may bring a claim before the courts where you live. Otherwise disputes go to the competent courts of Romania. Before going to court, please write to us at [email]: most problems can be solved that way.
