All rights are reserved. These Terms do not grant you any ownership, rights, title, or interest in the Services or any content within the Services.
Provided that you comply with these Terms and other applicable rules, you may use the Services for your own personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes. Any other use of the Services is strictly prohibited, and CoreTrek will not be responsible for any damage or loss resulting from unauthorized use.
If you breach these Terms or any other applicable policies, CoreTrek may take action, which could include terminating your account. You may also be violating the law, including infringing CoreTrek's intellectual property rights.

Your Account and Virtual Items:
Any account you create on our Services, including in our games, does not belong to you, and neither do the Virtual Items you may acquire through the Services, whether you earned or purchased them. Your account and related Virtual Items are owned by CoreTrek, which grants you a limited, revocable license to use them as long as we offer the Services.
To optimize our Services and avoid retaining unnecessary data, we may delete or terminate accounts that have been inactive for 180 days. However, this policy does not apply to all users and may be subject to changes.
You may not transfer Virtual Items outside of the Services (e.g., in the real world), whether by selling, gifting, or trading them. Any such transfer is void and prohibited, and we may terminate your account as a result. You are also not allowed to sublicense, sell, or exchange Virtual Items for real money or any other form of value outside of the game.

When you post, publish, or upload content (referred to as "User Content") to the Services, you agree that:
- It is accurate.
- It is not confidential.
- It complies with all applicable laws.
- It does not infringe upon the rights of others or violate contractual obligations, and you have the necessary permissions.
- It is free of harmful code such as viruses or spyware.
- Your User Content is subject to CoreTrek's Privacy Policy.
You are solely responsible for securing and backing up your User Content.
By posting or uploading User Content, you grant CoreTrek a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use, distribute, modify, and display your content in connection with the Services, including for marketing purposes. You retain ownership of your content, but to the extent allowed by law, you waive any moral rights (such as the right to be credited or object to certain uses).
We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms or Feature Terms, and we may disclose your identity to any third party who claims that your content violates their intellectual property or privacy rights. Additionally, we may disclose your User Content to government bodies or other third parties when legally required.
CoreTrek's license to your User Content ends when you request the deletion of your account, except for the following situations:
1. User Content submitted as part of promotions, which will remain subject to promotion-specific terms.
2. User Content already shared with others or used publicly under these Terms.
Upon your request to delete your User Content, we will take reasonable steps to remove it from active use.
When you post comments, observations, or other contributions in forums, blogs, or chat features, please note that we cannot guarantee that other players will not use or share that information. If you wish to keep information private or protected, do not post it. CoreTrek is not responsible for the use of information you share in public forums.
5. MONITORING USE OF SERVICES AND USER CONTENT
We are not obligated to monitor the Services for inappropriate or unlawful User Content or conduct by other players, and we are not responsible for such content or behavior. This includes any materials, products, or services provided by other players (e.g., profile information), and we do not endorse or guarantee the accuracy or truthfulness of any User Content.
However, if you encounter misconduct or a violation of these Terms, please report it through our Help Center.
While we are not required to monitor the Services, we reserve the right to monitor, record, or store your interactions with the Services and communications with CoreTrek or other players. For more information, see our Privacy Policy. We may, at our discretion, edit, refuse to post, or remove any User Content we deem objectionable. If your communications or content violate these Terms or Feature Terms, we may restrict your ability to post or communicate with others or terminate your access to the Services altogether.
6. YOUR DEALINGS WITH OTHER PLAYERS
If you have a dispute with another player, CoreTrek is not responsible for any claims, demands, and/or damages of any kind, whether known or unknown, resulting from or connected to that dispute. This includes damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, or data.
As part of the Services, we may offer you the opportunity to play with your friends or other matched opponents. To ensure that you always have available opponents at the right skill level, some of these matched opponents may be auto-generated players that look and play like real people.
We may allow you to use the Services to initiate SMS or MMS text messages to your contacts. You are not required to send such text messages to use our Services and standard text messaging and data rates may apply based on your plan with your mobile phone carrier. CoreTrek does not control the recipients, content, or timing of these text messages. If you choose to send text messages through the Services, you are confirming that the recipients of the text messages have appropriately consented to receive the text messages.
7. THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISING
Our Services may feature advertisements from us or other companies. Our Privacy Policy explains what information we share with advertisers. Sometimes we provide links in our games or on the Services to other third-party companies' websites or to companies who invite you to participate in a promotional offer and offer you some features of the Services or upgrade (such as in-game currency) in exchange. Any charge or obligation you take on in dealing with these other companies is your responsibility.
We are not responsible for any third-party website that we link to in our Services, and such a link does not mean we endorse or approve that linked site or any information you obtain from it. We are not liable for any claim relating to any content, goods, and/or services of third parties.
Please also note that the linked third-party sites are not under our control and may collect data or ask you to provide them with personal or other information, or they may automatically collect information from you. When you use these third-party sites and services, the third-party company may (or may not) ask you for permission to access your information and content. We are not responsible for these other companies' content, business practices, or privacy policies, or for how they collect, use, or share the information they get from you.
8. FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS
We may request your feedback and suggestions on certain features through an in-app feature or a survey on email or social media. You are not obliged to respond to our request. Any feedback you provide at our request is subject to the rules of the specific program. And any idea, information, or feedback you submit to us voluntarily shall be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary.
9. LIMITATIONS; WAIVER OF LIABILITY
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE CoreTrek IS NOT LIABLE
(1) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR DATA, IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICES; OR
(2) FOR THE CONDUCT OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES AND OPERATORS OF EXTERNAL SITES.
THE RISK OF USING THE SERVICES AND EXTERNAL SITES RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU AS DOES THE RISK OF INJURY FROM THE SERVICES AND EXTERNAL SITES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY ANY LAW THAT APPLIES, THE DISCLAIMERS OF LIABILITY IN THESE TERMS APPLY TO ALL DAMAGES OR INJURY CAUSED BY THE SERVICES, OR RELATED TO USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICES, UNDER ANY CAUSE OF ACTION IN ANY JURISDICTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACTIONS FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE).
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF CoreTrek IS LIMITED TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID CoreTrek IN THE ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DAYS (180) DAYS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH YOU FIRST ASSERT ANY SUCH CLAIM.
IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID CoreTrek ANY AMOUNT IN THE ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DAYS (180) DAYS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH YOU FIRST ASSERT ANY SUCH CLAIM, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH CoreTrek IS TO STOP USING THE SERVICES AND TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT.
Some states or countries do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitations/exclusions of liability described above, which means these limitations/exclusions may not apply to you if you reside in one of those states or countries.
These limitations/exclusions do not apply to users located in the EEA. For those users, if CoreTrek fails to comply with these Terms, CoreTrek is responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of CoreTrek's breach of these Terms or is a result of CoreTrek's negligence, but CoreTrek is not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and CoreTrek at the time we entered into these Terms.
10. ASSIGNMENT
We may give our rights, or our obligations, under these Terms or Feature Terms to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not give your rights or your obligations under these Terms or Feature Terms to anyone without first getting CoreTrek's written consent, and any attempt to do so without our consent is void.
