Terms and Conditions of Use

This English version is provided for convenience only and has no legal effect. The only legally binding version is the Spanish one at https://chipcastellano.com/terminos (Terms) and https://chipcastellano.com/privacidad (Privacy Policy). In case of any discrepancy, the Spanish version prevails.

1. About us

ChipCastellano (the "Service") is a web-based language-learning game operated by the individual developer Zujao Don ("we", "us"), residing in the Republic of El Son.

2. Language of the terms

These terms are drafted in Spanish, which is the authoritative language; this version is published at https://chipcastellano.com/terminos. We provide versions in other languages only to help players from different regions understand them; those are courtesy translations, and in case of any ambiguity the Spanish version prevails.

3. Age requirement

• You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service.
• We do not verify age or identity: age is based on your own declaration. If you do not meet the age requirement, do not use the Service.
• The Service is a language-learning game and is not directed at children under 13.

4. Account

• You can create an account and sign in with a cryptocurrency wallet, an email address, or a third-party account (Google, X).
• Your account belongs to you, and the virtual assets it contains (see Section 5) also belong to you.
• You are responsible for your login credentials:

- If you lose your email password, wallet private key, or seed phrase, we cannot recover it; if that makes the account inaccessible, we assume no liability. - For accounts that sign in with a wallet, ownership is governed by the private key: whoever controls the private key controls the account.

• You may freely dispose of your account (including reselling it). Account transactions are voluntary acts between you and the counterparty: we do not participate in, guarantee, or intervene in them; the risk of the transaction is borne by the parties. After a transfer, you must complete the handover of credentials and passwords yourself.

5. Virtual assets

• The Chips, Glue, furniture, themes, grammar cards, and other items in your account constitute virtual assets tied to the account:

- they cannot be exchanged for legal tender or cryptocurrency; - they cannot be transferred, gifted, or sold separately from the account; - we will not unilaterally revoke, zero out, or dilute assets you have legitimately obtained.

• Glue is the Service's accounting-point unit: 1 Glue equals 1 US cent of in-service value and can be used to offset purchase amounts. Glue is not money, electronic money, a security, or any other financial instrument; it cannot be withdrawn or exchanged for cash and cannot be transferred between users. Its earning and use rules (for example, referral rewards) may change as the Service evolves.
• Commitment if the Service shuts down: if we decide to cease operating the Service, we will announce it on the website at least 90 days in advance and, before the shutdown, make available the offline version and backup download, so that your account and assets can continue to exist after the servers are closed.

6. Payments

• The Service uses cryptocurrency payments. Blockchain transactions are irreversible once confirmed.
• No refunds are provided; in truly exceptional cases (for example, a duplicate payment or our failure to deliver), we will resolve it at our discretion: reshipment of the order, refund of the payment, or return in Glue. For orders not delivered due to our fault, the corresponding Glue is automatically returned by the same route.
• Prices may change with the market and operations; the price shown at the time of settlement applies. Volatility in cryptocurrencies themselves is outside the Service; you bear that risk.
• Taxes arising from purchases are your sole responsibility to declare and pay.

7. Acceptable use

We want this to be a game with a high degree of freedom, so we do not impose general prohibitions: modifying the client, reverse engineering, automated access (crawling or scraping), or reselling accounts, among other conduct, are not prohibited by these terms.

There are, however, three essential limits:

1. Do not attack or interfere with the Service itself: this includes, by way of example, DDoS attacks, destructive exploitation of vulnerabilities, and obstructing other players' normal connection and use. 2. We reserve the right to take technical measures to preserve server stability (rate limiting, temporary connection restrictions, etc.); these are operational tools, not penalties against you, and do not affect your account or data. 3. Referral and invitation activities may be subject to specific rules: to prevent abuse (such as mass registrations to accumulate rewards), we may adjust how invitation rewards are calculated and granted, as well as eligibility determinations.

Also note that if third-party tools (cheats or similar) cause data anomalies or damage, we do not promise to repair or restore it.

8. Suspension and termination

• For accounts that violate these terms (especially the limits in Section 7), we may suspend or terminate the provision of the Service to you.
• We commit to:

- not blocking accounts lightly when the situation is neither serious nor malicious; - except in emergencies such as an ongoing attack, informing you of the reason when applying a block; - not destroying your data when blocking: a blocked account retains the right to request a backup export; the account is still yours, it simply can no longer connect to our servers.

9. AI-generated content

• The Service's graphics, learning text, and audio may be generated or processed with artificial intelligence (Google Gemini, DeepSeek, among others). AI-generated content may be inaccurate, imperfect, or unexpected, and does not represent the developer's views or positions.
• The content is for educational and entertainment purposes; it does not constitute professional advice and does not guarantee linguistic accuracy. Check important information against other sources.

10. Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability

• The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without any guarantee of uninterrupted operation, freedom from errors, or full conformity with your expectations.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability to you is limited to the amount you have actually paid on that account; we are not liable for indirect damages or lost opportunities.
• Losses from price fluctuations arising from holding or paying with cryptocurrency are outside the Service.

11. Changes to the terms

We may revise these terms; the revised version will be published on this page (https://chipcastellano.com/terminos) with an updated date. Material changes will be announced in advance. If you continue to use the Service after the announcement, you will be deemed to accept the revised terms. If you disagree, you may stop using the Service and delete your account (see Section 8, "Your rights", of the Privacy Policy).

12. Governing law and dispute resolution

• These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of El Son.
• Has a problem come up? Email us first at donzujao@gmail.com: the vast majority of issues can be resolved through conversation.
