Terms of Service

Legend Story Studios is a game design, development, and publishing studio based in Auckland, New Zealand. These general terms and conditions (‘Terms’) apply to all users of Legend Story Studio’s (‘we’, ‘our’ or ‘us’) website (https://fabtcg.com/) (the ‘Website’), mobile applications (‘App’ or ‘Apps’) and any other platforms provided by us from time to time (together the ‘Platforms’), whether a registered user or casual visitor. These Terms also apply to game facilitating software (‘Software’) accessible through the Platforms, and to registered play hosted by us and other approved parties (‘Registered Play’). By viewing and using the Platforms, using the Software, and/or organising or participating in Registered Play you are deemed to agree to these Terms without qualification. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you must stop accessing and using the Platforms and Software, and may not organise or participate in Registered Play.

The Platforms are operated by us from New Zealand. The information on the Platforms may not be appropriate or available for use in all other jurisdictions.

Registration and accounts:

  • When you complete a registration in relation to the Platforms it will be as one of the following registered users:
    • a retailer/ tournament organiser (for a ‘Business Account’); or
    • an individual player of LSS games (for a ‘Player Account’).
  • Where you complete a registration in relation to the Platforms:
    • Password security: You will ensure that all usernames and passwords required to access the Platforms are kept secure and confidential and you will notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your password or any other breach of security.
    • Account transfer: You may not transfer your account to another user or maintain more than one Business Account and one Player Account with us without our consent.
    • Registration data: You confirm that the data you provided to us on registering as a registered user was at the time you provided it current, complete and accurate, and you agree to maintain and update the data as required to keep it so.
    • Reliance upon password: You release us from any claim in respect of or arising from any reasonable reliance by us upon any use of your password, including us disclosing information relating to your registration and/or affairs with us.
    • Suspension and termination: We may, at our sole discretion, suspend or terminate your account and limit your access to the Platforms and Registered Play.

Software

  • Registered users with a Business Account or a Player Account are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable right to make use of the Software solely in order to play or facilitate (as applicable) the relevant Legend Story Studio’s game or Registered Play. Such Software may only be used in accordance with these Terms.
  • When accessing or using the Software you must comply with all applicable laws and must access or use it solely for your own lawful purposes and you must not resupply the Software or otherwise make it available to any person except as we expressly authorise.
  • All intellectual property rights and all other proprietary rights that may subsist in the Software and any underlying systems or processes, and all confidential information relevant to the Software or the system or business processes used to provide the Software (including all improvements made by any person thereto) (together, the ‘IP Rights’) belong solely to us or our licensors (as the case may be). All property rights that may subsist in modifications, enhancements, translations, or derivative works of the Software (and any underlying systems or processes) made by any person shall vest in us when such modifications, enhancements or derivative works come into existence.
  • You acknowledge our ownership of the IP Rights and agree not to challenge our claim to ownership of the IP Rights or to permit any act that is inconsistent with our ownership of the IP Rights at any time, including if you cease to be a registered user.
  • While we endeavour to provide uninterrupted access to the Software, the Platforms and the Software are not fault-free and rely on factors outside of our control. The Software is provided to users at such times and means as we decide. Additionally we may from time to time suspend access generally or disconnect or deny a specific user access, including without limitation:
    • during any technical failure, modification or maintenance that relates to the Software or Platforms; and
    • where a user undermines the security or integrity of the Software or Platforms, or is, in our opinion, in breach of these Terms.
  • We may make modifications and enhancements to the Software from time to time without notice to any user.

Restrictions

You must:

  • only provide or upload information to the Platforms that is true and correct;
  • not take any action that in our opinion imposes an unreasonable load on the infrastructure of the Platforms or the Software;
  • not use the Platforms or Software for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms;
  • not attempt to defeat, avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, or otherwise circumvent any software protection mechanisms in the Platforms or Software including any mechanisms used to restrict or control the functionality of the software;
  • not remove any copyright, trade mark, or proprietary rights notices included in or on the Platforms or in the Software;
  • not copy, modify, adapt, enhance, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Platforms or Software (or any part of them), or attempt to do the same, except as expressly permitted by the law; and
  • not attempt to disrupt or interfere with the operation of the Platforms or the Software.
