These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User") and the operators of Save the Hormuz ("we", "us", "our"). By visiting, playing, or otherwise using this website, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
If you are using this site on behalf of a company or organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
All characters depicted in the game are purely fictional caricatures created for satirical and humorous purposes. They do not represent the actual views, statements, actions, policies, or identity of any real individuals, governments, armed forces, organisations, or institutions.
The game does not endorse any political position, military action, economic sanction, or conflict involving any nation or group. The geographical map used is illustrative only and does not represent official territorial boundaries or claims.
Satire and parody are recognised forms of protected expression under the laws of most democratic jurisdictions, including the United States, all EU member states, and the United Kingdom.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the game for personal, non-commercial purposes.
You also agree not to use this website in any way that violates applicable law, promotes discrimination or violence, infringes intellectual property rights, involves spam, or attempts to gain unauthorised access to our systems.
All content on this website — including game code, design, character artwork, animations, text, and audio — is the intellectual property of the site operators, protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
The satirical character designs are original creations. They are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any real individuals. Any resemblance to real persons is intentional only in the context of protected satire and parody under applicable law.
The map imagery is used for illustrative, non-commercial purposes. All third-party trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. No affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement is implied.
Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
The game and website are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. You are responsible for ensuring your own system security.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the game or website.
Our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed the greater of €100 or the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim (if any).
As an EU/UK consumer, you have the right to receive clear, accurate information about the service before using it. This game is provided free of charge. Any payments made via Buy Me a Coffee are entirely voluntary donations — they are not required to access the game and confer no additional rights or services.
Under EU Directive 93/13/EEC and UK law, any term in these Terms that creates a significant imbalance between your rights and ours — to your detriment — is not binding on you. This includes any term that attempts to exclude liability we are not permitted to exclude, or that attempts to make you accept changes to the service without notice.
We will not make material changes to these Terms without giving you reasonable advance notice. We will not treat your continued use of the site as acceptance of material changes — we will actively communicate any significant changes and provide you a reasonable opportunity to review them. This is your right under EU consumer law — silence is not consent.
If you have a dispute with us, you have the right to use the EU Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. You may also contact your national consumer protection authority. UK consumers may contact the Citizens Advice Bureau.
We reserve the right to update these Terms to reflect changes in law or our practices. When we do:
This website contains links to third-party websites and uses third-party services. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for their content, privacy policies, or practices. We recommend reading the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.
