SITE TERMS / EFFECTIVE 25 OCTOBER 2026
Terms of
Service.
Version 2026-10-25
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern the Geck Arcade website at geck-arcade.vercel.app, including its pages, content, game directory and shared leaderboard (the "Site"). The Site is operated by its creator, @Playferkeeps69 ("we", "us" or "our"), with AI assistance.
1. Agreement and eligibility
Use of the Site is subject to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. Where a feature asks you to accept these Terms, including joining or updating a leaderboard player, you must affirmatively agree before submitting.
You must be legally able to enter this agreement. If you are a minor or otherwise cannot agree independently, use the Site only with legally valid permission and appropriate supervision from a parent or guardian, where applicable law allows. Do not submit public records if you cannot validly accept these Terms.
2. A free entertainment site
The Site is an independent, experimental community arcade hub. Features, artwork, descriptions and software may contain errors, including AI-assisted content. Lore summaries and original arcade stories are entertainment, not professional advice or representations by the underlying NFT project.
Scores, rankings, fictional currency and in-game items displayed here have no cash value or entitlement to payment or prizes unless separate, express rules say otherwise. Using the Site does not grant ownership of an NFT, token, game asset or third-party intellectual property.
3. Responsible use
Use the Site lawfully and respect other people. Do not impersonate others; publish unlawful, threatening, hateful or infringing material; manipulate rankings through fabricated scores or automated abuse; distribute malware; attack the service; evade access restrictions; or attempt unauthorized access to data or systems.
Use an alias rather than posting sensitive personal information. Keep your player key and backup files private, and maintain your own backups of information you wish to keep. You are responsible for conduct and information within your control; this does not transfer any duty that the law requires us to retain.
4. Public leaderboard records and privacy
Posting is optional. Joining and launching a ranked session authorizes the Site to receive and display your chosen handle, scores and gameplay statistics as described in the Privacy Notice. We record the version of these Terms you accept and the acceptance time. Agreeing to these Terms does not enable optional browser storage or waive privacy rights.
Scores are browser-reported and are not authoritative proof of skill or an anti-cheat guarantee. We may reasonably reject, correct, hide or remove entries, restrict abusive players, or reset rankings for maintenance, fairness or legal reasons. No ranking, handle, record, availability period or ability to recover a lost player key is guaranteed, subject to section 9.
You retain any rights you have in your public submissions. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to host, reproduce, format, display and moderate the handles and gameplay records you choose to publish, solely to operate and maintain the Site. This permission does not cover your private player key or unrelated personal information. Removal and retention of records are addressed in the Privacy Notice and applicable law.
5. Site content and third-party rights
We and the relevant rights holders retain applicable rights in Site content, branding, software and artwork. You may use the Site for personal entertainment. Do not misrepresent ownership, affiliation or endorsement, or exploit protected material without the necessary permission.
Galactic Gecko Space Garage names, collection artwork, faction references and other third-party material remain subject to their owners' rights. This independent fan site does not claim official endorsement. Third-party and open-source licenses continue to apply; these Terms do not take away rights those licenses grant.
6. Links, hosting and external services
Links may open separately hosted games, social profiles, official lore pages or other services. Their operators, terms, privacy practices, availability and technical requirements may differ. A link is not a guarantee of safety, accuracy, reliability, affiliation or endorsement. Review the destination's notices and make your own decision before using it.
We do not control every external service or every interruption, data loss or security event affecting it. The disclaimers below apply to Site-related claims about linked services only to the extent legally permitted. They do not remove duties that applicable law places on us.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Site and its content and features are provided "as is", "as available" and without warranties or conditions of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory.
Subject to section 9, we disclaim warranties and conditions of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability and availability. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free access, compatibility with your device, that defects will be corrected, that every score is genuine, or that data, records or access will always be preserved or secure.
No informal statement or support response creates an additional warranty unless we expressly agree to it in writing and are legally able to do so.
8. Exclusion and limitation of liability
In this section, "Protected Parties" means the Site's operator and creator and the people or organizations contributing development, operation, hosting or licensed content to the Site, in connection with those roles.
Subject always to section 9 and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Protected Parties exclude liability for losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses arising out of or relating to your use of, inability to use, or reliance on the Site, its content, leaderboard, or links to external services. This exclusion applies whether a claim is framed in contract, tort (including negligence where exclusion is lawful), statute or otherwise, even if a loss was foreseeable or its possibility was brought to our attention.
In particular, where legally permitted, the Protected Parties are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages, or loss of profits, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill, data, saved progress, player keys, rankings or access. This includes legally excludable losses connected with errors, service interruptions, compatibility problems, unauthorized activity or third-party conduct.
If an exclusion above is unenforceable but applicable law permits a contractual liability cap, the Protected Parties' total aggregate liability to you for all Site-related claims is limited to CAD $100. If the law requires a higher amount or does not allow a cap, that mandatory rule applies instead. The exclusions and cap are intended to operate only where they are lawful and enforceable.
9. Rights and liabilities we cannot exclude
Nothing in these Terms asks you to waive, or excludes, limits or releases, any right, remedy, guarantee, duty or liability that applicable law does not permit to be waived, excluded, limited or released. Mandatory consumer protections, privacy rights, statutory remedies and access to courts remain intact.
In particular, the exclusions, liability cap and indemnity do not apply to fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or statutory obligations, to the extent applicable law prohibits excluding or limiting the relevant liability. If your local law gives you stronger protection, that protection prevails.
10. Misuse and third-party claims
Only to the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify the Protected Parties for reasonable third-party claims, damages and costs, including reasonable legal fees, to the extent caused by your unlawful use of the Site, unlawful or infringing submissions, or intentional material breach of these Terms.
This does not require you to cover losses caused by our conduct or obligations for which the law does not allow responsibility to be transferred to you. Where we seek indemnification, we will give reasonable notice and an opportunity to participate in responding to the claim, and will not agree to a settlement imposing an obligation on you without your consent.
11. Changes, suspension and ending use
We may update, suspend or discontinue Site features, or restrict access for security, misuse, maintenance or legal reasons, subject to applicable law. You may stop using the Site at any time. Forgetting a local player does not itself delete already published records; see the Privacy Notice or contact us about removal.
Updated Terms will show a new effective date and version. Material changes will be brought to your attention, and renewed agreement requested, where legally required. Changes do not retroactively expand a liability exclusion or turn earlier activity into consent that was never given.
12. Disputes and general provisions
Please contact us about a concern when practical so we can try to resolve it. Doing so is not a condition of exercising a legal right and does not shorten any filing deadline. Applicable mandatory law and the jurisdiction of courts that cannot lawfully be excluded remain available; these Terms impose no mandatory arbitration or class-action waiver.
If a provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue only to the extent allowed by law. A delay in exercising a right is not a waiver of that right. Any provision intended to continue after you stop using the Site does so only within its lawful scope.
