Terms & Conditions
Last Updated: May 2024
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing Jade Totem Arcade, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Our platform provides simulated, free-to-play social games designed purely for entertainment. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please cease use of the website.
2. Eligibility and R18 Classification
Jade Totem Arcade is strictly restricted to users who are 18 years of age or older. By interacting with our platform, you confirm you meet this age requirement. We enforce an R18 classification to ensure our content is consumed responsibly.
3. Virtual Currency Has No Real Value
The virtual currency used on this site, known as Jade Sparks, is entirely fictional. Jade Sparks cannot be purchased with real money, nor can they be withdrawn, cashed out, or exchanged for real-world prizes. They exist solely to facilitate gameplay in games like Geode Cascade.
4. No Real-Money Gambling
Jade Totem Arcade operates as a free social casino. We do not offer real-money gambling or an opportunity to win real money or prizes. Success in our games does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
5. Intellectual Property
All content on Jade Totem Arcade, including game graphics, mechanics for Totem Resonance, and the character Tua, are the intellectual property of Jade Totem Studios NZ Limited. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our express written permission.
6. Consumer Guarantees Act 1993
Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. However, as Jade Totem Arcade is a free service, our liability for any disruptions or loss of virtual data (such as Jade Sparks) is strictly limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
7. Limitation of Liability
Jade Totem Arcade is provided 'as is'. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the site. We shall not be held liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or inability to access your virtual balance.
8. Governing Law and Regulatory Context
These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Since no real money changes hands and no real prizes are awarded, Jade Totem Arcade does not constitute gambling under the New Zealand Gambling Act 2003 and does not require a license from the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA).
