Terms of Use

Last updated: 24 October 2026

1. Operator and scope

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of TradeChronicles (the Game), available at trade-chronicles.com. The Game is developed and operated by Milios Panagiotis Nektarios, 14 Kimolou Street, Kipseli 11362, Athens, Greece (the Operator, we, us).

Email: [email protected].

The Game is free to play and offers optional purchases. These Terms apply to your account, gameplay and purchases from us. The Privacy Notice explains how personal data is processed; acceptance of these Terms does not by itself constitute consent to optional data processing.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts rights you have under mandatory law.

2. Definitions

Account or User Account: the account used to access the Game.
Backend Provider: brainCloud, operated by bitHeads Inc., which provides account authentication and related services on our behalf, as explained in the Privacy Notice.
Virtual Currency: currency purchased for real money for use within the Game. References to purchased Virtual Currency do not include ordinary gold, goods or other resources earned solely through gameplay unless the purchase description expressly states otherwise.
Paid Benefits: items, cosmetic content, automation features or other digital content or services purchased with real money or Virtual Currency.
Payment Provider: the third-party service that processes purchases of Virtual Currency.
World: a particular Game environment, which may have a stated duration, season or reset schedule.

3. Eligibility, acceptance and account security

The Game is intended for persons aged 13 and over. You must not create an Account if you are under 13. If you are a minor under the applicable law, your parent or legal guardian must authorise your use of the Game and any purchases to the extent required by that law. A parent or legal guardian may contact us at the email address in section 1 about authorisation.

You accept these Terms through the acceptance step when creating an Account. We make them available for you to save.

Provide accurate information where requested and protect your login details. Do not sell, lend or transfer your Account. Contact us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access. You are responsible for your own conduct and for access you authorise; you are not automatically responsible for every unauthorised act merely because it occurred through your Account. Responsibility will be assessed under applicable law and the circumstances.

4. Licence and intellectual property

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use the Game for personal, non-commercial purposes while your Account is active and subject to these Terms. The Game is licensed, not sold. This does not remove your rights relating to purchases or digital services.

The Game's software, artwork, music, text and other content belong to us or our licensors. Rights not expressly granted remain with their owners.

You must not copy, distribute, commercially exploit, modify or reverse engineer the Game except where these Terms or mandatory law permit it. You must not remove ownership notices, circumvent security, interfere with servers or other players, exploit bugs, cheat or use unauthorised bots, scripts or automation. Automation provided or expressly authorised by us is permitted within its stated limits.

You may share screenshots, gameplay videos and streams and monetise those videos or streams on services such as YouTube or Twitch, provided you respect third-party rights and do not imply our endorsement. We may request removal where content is unlawful, infringes rights or materially misrepresents an affiliation with us.

You retain rights in feedback you provide. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use that feedback to develop and improve the Game. You need not provide feedback.

5. Player conduct and communications

Do not use the Game for unlawful activity or post unlawful, threatening, harassing, hateful or sexually explicit content. Do not infringe others' rights, impersonate others, disclose another person's private information without a lawful basis, or disrupt the Game.

Where communication features exist, we may process and review relevant content and activity to deliver those features, investigate reports and enforce these Terms, as described in the Privacy Notice. Reports and moderation enquiries may be sent to our contact email.

You retain rights in your messages and other material you submit. You grant us only the rights needed to store, transmit, display and moderate that material in providing the relevant Game features. This does not authorise unrelated advertising use of private messages.

6. Free-to-play and in-Game purchases

The Game is free to play. You may buy Virtual Currency for real money. Payments are handled by a third-party payment provider; we do not receive or store your card or bank details. Prices are shown before you confirm a purchase and include applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.

Virtual Currency can be spent only inside the Game, for example on trade automation or cosmetic items. It is a closed-loop currency: it has no real-world value, cannot be exchanged for money or anything of value outside the Game, and cannot be transferred to another person or account. By completing a purchase you ask us to deliver the Virtual Currency immediately; to the extent permitted by law, you acknowledge that your right of withdrawal ends once the Virtual Currency has been credited to your User Account. Refunds are otherwise handled in accordance with the payment provider's published refund policy and mandatory consumer law.

7. Availability, requirements and conformity

The Game is played in a web browser and is designed for current versions of common web browsers. Any additional requirements or material functionality and compatibility limitations are communicated on the website or in the Game. We do not guarantee performance on every browser, device or connection.

Online software can contain bugs and may need maintenance. We cannot promise uninterrupted availability or compatibility with every device. However, we remain responsible for supplying the Game and Paid Benefits in conformity with the contract and applicable law, including applicable update and security obligations.

A problem need not render the whole Game unusable for a prolonged period to qualify for a remedy. Where legally available, remedies include bringing the content or service into conformity, a proportionate price reduction or termination and reimbursement. Contact us so we can assess and resolve the issue. We do not charge for statutory remedies.

Mandatory pre-contractual information and legally binding descriptions, public statements and commitments remain effective. Nothing in these Terms makes them non-binding simply because they appeared on our website, in the Game, in advertising or in a support communication.

8. Updates, changes and World resets

We may make changes needed to maintain conformity, security or legal compliance. We may also modify the ongoing Game for valid reasons such as correcting exploits, maintaining game balance, adapting to technical requirements or improving functionality. Such modifications are made without an additional charge merely for receiving the modification, and we explain them clearly.

If a modification negatively affects access to or use of the Game or purchased content beyond a minor degree, we provide the notice, information and remedies required by applicable law. Where applicable, this includes reasonable advance notice on a durable medium and a right to terminate without charge within 30 days of receiving the information or implementation of the modification, whichever is later. The statutory exception where an unchanged, conforming version remains available without additional cost may apply.

Scheduled World endings, resets and the effects on ordinary game progress are explained before joining the World. Effects on Paid Benefits are disclosed before purchase. We do not use a reset or feature change to avoid our purchase obligations.

9. Suspension, termination and discontinuation

You may stop using the Game and close your User Account at any time by contacting us. Unused Virtual Currency is not refunded, except where the payment provider's refund policy or mandatory law provides otherwise.

We may take proportionate action for a breach, including a warning, feature restriction or suspension. We ordinarily provide the reason and an opportunity to correct the breach where appropriate. Immediate action may be necessary for serious cheating, fraud, a security threat, unlawful activity or legal compliance. We may withhold details where disclosure would compromise security or an investigation or violate law.

You may contest an action by emailing us with your Account identifier. We review the decision and respond within a reasonable period. Permanent termination and treatment of purchases will be assessed according to the breach, proportionality and applicable law; a suspension or termination does not automatically extinguish all refund rights.

We may discontinue the Game, individual worlds or features. We will give reasonable advance notice in the Game or by e-mail, so that you can use any remaining Virtual Currency before the Game or feature is shut down.

On termination your right to use the Game ends. Accrued rights and provisions that by their nature should survive termination remain effective.

10. Liability and third-party services

We are responsible for loss caused by our breach of contract or other wrongful conduct to the extent provided by applicable law. We do not exclude ordinary-negligence liability or liability for loss of data merely because the Game uses third-party infrastructure.

Nothing excludes or limits liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Your statutory consumer remedies and data-protection rights remain unaffected.

We are not responsible for independent third-party websites merely because we link to them. However, using providers to deliver our own contractual obligations does not by itself remove our responsibility for those obligations. The Privacy Notice separately explains data-protection roles.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms for valid reasons, including changes in law, security needs, technical operation or the addition of new services. We explain material changes and their effective date by email or another durable medium reasonably in advance, unless an urgent legal or security reason requires a shorter period.

Changes do not retrospectively remove accrued rights or alter completed purchases to your detriment. Where express agreement is legally required, we obtain it. We do not treat silence or continued use as consent where that would be insufficient under applicable law. If you reject a material change, you may close your Account and retain any applicable termination and reimbursement rights.

12. Complaints, law and courts

Send complaints to the contact details in section 1. We investigate complaints and respond within a reasonable period, explaining if more time is needed. This does not extend statutory deadlines.

Greek law governs these Terms. If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections applicable under the law of your habitual residence.

Jurisdiction is determined by applicable law. EU consumers may bring proceedings in their home courts where the consumer-jurisdiction rules provide that right. We may sue an EU consumer only in the courts permitted by those rules, ordinarily those of the consumer's domicile. This section does not create an exclusive Athens forum for consumers.

13. Remaining provisions and contact

If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply where legally possible. Mandatory law governs the consequences; an invalid consumer term is not automatically rewritten to preserve its commercial effect.
