Terms of Use

Welcome to John Purcell Out of the Woods. These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website johnpurcelloutofthewoods.com and all associated content, games, and services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Nature of the Service

John Purcell Out of the Woods is a free social casino platform designed exclusively for entertainment purposes. The Service provides browser-based games that use virtual currency called "Acorns". Acorns have no real-world monetary value and cannot be purchased, sold, exchanged, or redeemed for cash, goods, services, or any item of value. This is not a real-money gambling platform. No real-money wagers are accepted, and no real-money payouts or prizes are offered or implied.

All game outcomes are generated for entertainment and may use random or pseudo-random algorithms. Past results do not influence future outcomes. Virtual Acorn balances reset to 1,000 upon each page refresh and are not stored on our servers.

Eligibility and Access

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to access and use this Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. We reserve the right to verify your age and to restrict or terminate access for users who do not meet eligibility requirements.

Access to the Service is provided free of charge. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes, subject to these Terms.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from viruses or other harmful components.

We make no guarantees regarding game outcomes, virtual Acorn balances, or the availability of any particular feature. The Service may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, John Purcell Out of the Woods and its operators, directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to us for use of the Service (which is zero, as the Service is free). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

Third-Party Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, including responsible gambling resources such as GambleAware and GamCare. These links are provided for your convenience and information. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms and policies.

Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New Zealand, except where prohibited by applicable local law.
