Terms of Service

Draft version of 10 November 2026

1. Who we are

Borders at War ("the game") is operated by Networkguys (networkguys.nl), legal form, Smitspol 7-a7, 3861 RS Nijkerk, the Netherlands, registered with the Chamber of Commerce under number 92277144, VAT number NL865971456B01 ("we", "us"). You can reach us at support@bordersatwar.com.

2. Agreeing to these terms

By playing the game at play.bordersatwar.com, as a guest or with an account, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not play.

3. Who can play

You must be at least 16 years old. If you are younger than 18, you need permission from a parent or guardian, in particular before you buy anything.

For counsel: 16 is the Dutch age of consent for online services (article 5 UAVG). Confirm it and how parental consent for purchases by minors should be handled.

4. Guest play and accounts

• You can start as a guest without giving us any details. A guest account is tied to your browser and is removed after a period without being linked to an email address. The game shows how many days are left.
• You can link an email address and password to keep your games, Bonds and season progress and to sign in on other devices.
• You are responsible for keeping your password secret and for everything done through your account.
• Accounts cannot be sold or transferred.

5. Fair play

You agree not to:

• use bots, scripts or other automation, or exploit bugs instead of reporting them;
• play several accounts in the same world to gain an advantage;
• harass, threaten or abuse other players, or use names or messages that are hateful, sexual or illegal;
• trade accounts, Bonds or in-game items for real money outside our shop;
• attack, overload or try to gain unauthorised access to the game or its servers.

If you break these rules we may warn you, remove content, suspend or close your account, or remove you from a world.

For the owner and counsel: the rules above are a proposal, confirm they match how the game is moderated (in particular the one account per world rule). Decide what happens to unused paid Bonds when an account is closed for a rule breach, and whether a complaint or appeal route is required.

6. Bonds, the Season Pass and purchases

• The game is free to play. Bonds are a virtual currency used inside the game, for example to finish builds sooner or to hire special units. You receive some Bonds for free by playing, and you can buy more in the shop.
• The Season Pass is a single payment that unlocks extra rewards and conveniences for one season of 30 days. It does not renew automatically.
• Prices are shown in euros including VAT before you pay. Payments are handled by Stripe. We do not see or store your card or bank details.
• Bonds and Season Pass benefits are a licence to use a feature of the game. They have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money and cannot be transferred to another player.
• Purchased Bonds are added to your account as soon as the payment is confirmed.

Refunds and your right of withdrawal are described in the Refund Policy.

For counsel: check the wording on virtual currency against Dutch and EU consumer law, including the rules on price transparency for in-game currency and on purchases by minors.

7. Worlds, seasons and changes to the game

Game worlds have a beginning and an end. When a world ends, your position in it ends too. We may change game rules, balance, prices in Bonds and features to keep the game fair and running. We will not remove purchased Bonds from your balance because of such a change.

8. Availability

We do our best to keep the game online, but we do not promise that it is always available or free of errors. We may take the game offline for maintenance.

For counsel: decide what players are entitled to if the game is shut down permanently while they hold unused paid Bonds or an active Season Pass.

9. Our content and yours

The game, its name, logo, software and artwork belong to us or our licensors. You get a personal, non-transferable right to play the game. Names and messages you write in the game remain yours, but you allow us to show them to other players as part of the game.

10. Liability

Limitation of liability clause to be drafted by counsel. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer under mandatory law.

11. Ending the agreement

You can stop playing at any time and ask us to delete your account at support@bordersatwar.com. We may end the agreement as described in section 5, or with reasonable notice if we stop offering the game.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. For important changes we will tell you in the game or by email at least notice period, for example 30 days in advance. If you keep playing after the change takes effect, you accept the new terms.

13. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of the Netherlands. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory law of the country where you live. Disputes go to the competent court in the district where Networkguys is established.
