Terms

1. Who we are

Outwreck is run by Andreas Tsiampos (Ανδρέας Τσιάμπος). Contact: tsiampos03@gmail.com. By playing or buying you accept these terms.

2. The game

Outwreck is free to play. No match result ever pays out money. You must be 14 or older, and you need a parent's permission to buy anything if you are under 18. Don't cheat, use bots, play against yourself or abuse other players; we may remove rewards and suspend accounts that do.

3. Knots

• Knots are the in-game currency. You earn them by playing and from the free chest, and you can buy packs of them.
• Knots are used inside the game only: to play online matches, for Shipyard upgrades and to trade cosmetic items with other players.
• Knots have no money value. They can never be sold back to us, cashed out or exchanged for money, and we may rebalance how many the game awards or costs.

4. Buying with a card

• Card, Revolut Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay payments are processed by Stripe. The price is shown before you pay.
• What you buy (Knots or an item) is delivered to your game account right after payment. By buying you ask for immediate delivery and accept that you lose the 14-day right of withdrawal once it is delivered. If something you paid for doesn't arrive, write to us and we'll fix it or refund you.
• Items on your game account are tied to this browser. Keep your restore code: it moves your items to another device, and anyone who has it can take them. We can't recover items without it.
• Supporter (optional): a monthly plan renews by itself each month until you cancel it (any time, from the Shop; it then runs to the end of the paid month), or a one-off payment covers 30 days. It gives Discord perks, a badge and a few Knots — nothing that helps win a match.

5. Shop items

• Looks (hull paints and hit effects) are mainly cosmetic. Some paid looks add a small time bonus while equipped — a few extra seconds to place ships or per shot, shown on the item and to your opponent. They never give extra shots, hits or information.
• Power-ups (Sonar, Line scan) are consumable help for online matches: one per match, on your own turn, and your opponent is told. A win where you used one counts like any other win. Uses can't be resold, and used ones aren't refunded.
• They are tokens on the Base blockchain. You can buy them with a card (kept on your game account; you may later have one sent to your own wallet) or with USDC from your own wallet. We never hold your wallet keys or your crypto.
• Limited editions are capped by the contract: no more copies than the stated number can ever be made.

6. Player designs

• You may send your own ship designs. You confirm the design is your own work and doesn't copy anyone else's logo, brand or artwork.
• If we approve it, you allow us to show it, sell it as an Outwreck item and let buyers use and resell it. We decide the price and number of copies, and we may decline or withdraw any design.
• You get the share shown when it is approved (normally 50%) of each shop sale, plus the same share of the market fee on each resale. Wallet sales pay you automatically on-chain; card sales are paid to your wallet by us. You are responsible for any taxes on what you earn.

7. The market and auctions

You can resell paid items and tournament tickets to other players on Outwreck's market, at a fixed price or by auction, in USDC from your own wallet. Items can only change hands through that market. Each sale pays the seller the price minus a market fee (currently 5%, never more than 10%) that goes to us and, for player designs, partly to their creator. Items on your game account can also be traded for Knots; whatever you get for Knots stays in the game and can't be sent to a wallet. We don't buy items back and don't guarantee that anything will sell or keep any price. Blockchain transactions can't be reversed.

What you buy with Knots can be traded only for Knots and stays in the game; what you buy with money can be resold only for money.

8. Tournaments

A tournament ticket is earned only by winning online matches (the number is shown on the tournament page); we don't sell tickets. A ticket holder may play, or resell the ticket on the market. Prizes are funded by us or by sponsors and are announced with each tournament, together with its rules. We may disqualify players who cheat and may ask prize winners to confirm their identity.

9. Test network

While the item contract runs on Base Sepolia (a test network), test USDC and on-chain test items have no value and the test may be reset.

10. Availability and liability

We work to keep the game running but can't promise it always will. Check what your wallet asks you to sign. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for losses caused by your wallet, the blockchain or third-party services.

11. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, without taking away rights you have as a consumer where you live.
