Terms of Service

By launching Barnacle Bay, sailing in the 3D world, or inscribing a score onto the Pirate's Ledger, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. You may use the game only where permitted by applicable law. If you are under the age of majority where you live, please review these Terms with a parent or legal guardian before inscribing a public captain alias.

All gold coins, salvaged chests, treasure maps, hull reinforcements, and cannon reload upgrades inside Barnacle Bay are purely fictional gameplay progression states with zero real-world monetary value. They cannot be purchased with fiat currency or cryptocurrency, and they may not be redeemed, sold, bartered, or transferred outside the game. We may rebalance island points, gold rewards, or Shipyard costs at any time during beta or production updates.

If you choose to sign the Pirate's Ledger, you agree to follow fair-play rules:

• Do not submit captain names containing slurs, hate speech, harassment, sexual content, threats, impersonation, or personal contact details (such as phone numbers, email addresses, or street addresses).
• Do not forge requests to syncVoyageLedger, tamper with write tokens, run automated submission bots, bypass rate limits, or probe platform infrastructure.
• We reserve the right to remove any PirateScore entry or block abusive network traffic at any time without notice to keep the leaderboard clean and fair.

Pre-release builds distributed via Apple TestFlight, Google Play Closed Testing, or Home Screen Progressive Web App shortcuts are provided for evaluation and gameplay testing. Beta features, frame rates, audio behavior, and saved progression schemas may change or reset between checkpoints. Any bug reports or gameplay suggestions you share may be used by Abstrekkt LLC to improve Barnacle Bay without compensation or restriction.

When you access Barnacle Bay through an Apple iOS or Google Play distribution, you acknowledge that these Terms are concluded solely between you and Abstrekkt LLC, not Apple Inc. or Google LLC. Neither Apple nor Google is responsible for providing maintenance, support, or warranty services for Barnacle Bay. Where required for iOS distributions, Apple Inc. and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with respect to your license to use the iOS application.

Barnacle Bay, including its source code, procedural 3D ship and island generators, custom Web Audio broadside synthesis, HUD artwork, and the Barnacle Bay, Black Galleon, Abstrekkt, and Chaos Club Co. names and emblems, are owned by Abstrekkt LLC and protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws. We grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to play Barnacle Bay for non-commercial entertainment.

Our collection and protection of local browser saves and optional leaderboard entries are detailed in our Privacy Policy, which includes immediate self-service controls to opt out of route-view logging, clear local device saves, and permanently delete an inscribed PirateScore record.

BARNACLE BAY IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. ABSTREKKT LLC DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT 3D WEBGL GRAPHICS, AUDIO OUTPUT, OR LEADERBOARD SYNC WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE ON EVERY BROWSER OR MOBILE DEVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ABSTREKKT LLC AND ITS MEMBERS AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF GAMEPLAY PROGRESS OR LEADERBOARD RANKINGS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF BARNACLE BAY, AND OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED FIFTY US DOLLARS ($50.00 USD).

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, with exclusive venue in the state or federal courts serving Lake County, Illinois, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction require otherwise.

We may revise these Terms as Barnacle Bay evolves and will update the effective date at the top of this page when changes take effect. Questions regarding these Terms may be directed to Abstrekkt LLC via abstrekkt.com.
