City of Chances User Agreement

1. Who provides the game

City of Chances is an early-test online multiplayer board game at https://citychances.com, operated by Hamidreza Gharahzadeh, an individual based in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada ("we", "us"). Eligible adults may register with Google or play as guests; visiting or registering is not invitation-only. Joining a particular city still depends on its join rules and available seats. For game, agreement, privacy or complaint questions, contact support@citychances.com.

This agreement covers our browser game and its installed web-app form.

Access to the current early test is free. It is not a paid trial and does not automatically convert to a paid plan. We may later offer paid access or features. Before a paid requirement affects future access, we will explain what changes, when it starts, the price, currency, applicable taxes and the relevant purchase, renewal, cancellation and refund terms. You will be charged only if you deliberately confirm a separate purchase. Accepting this agreement, signing in or continuing to play does not authorize a charge. You may decline a paid offer; access to affected future games or features may then be unavailable, but no payment debt arises merely from declining. Any previously purchased rights and mandatory legal remedies remain protected.

2. Eligibility and acceptance

You must have reached the legal age of majority where you ordinarily live. For example, that age is 19 in British Columbia. When accepting, you confirm that you meet this adult eligibility requirement. We do not ask for your date of birth for this confirmation.

Before creating a game account, or creating or joining a city as a guest, read this agreement and the privacy information provided with entry. Confirm adult eligibility, select the separate agreement checkbox and press Accept and continue only if both statements are true. You can open, save or print the agreement and decline instead. Existing account and guest-seat recovery remain available so that this acceptance step does not force you to abandon an ongoing city.

We record the accepted version and acceptance time with your internal game account or privately with your guest seat. An account receipt is linked to your verified Google sign-in. A guest receipt records acceptance for that guest seat; it does not verify your legal identity or age.

Google sign-in verifies your identity through Google. Google's own terms and permissions apply separately. Approving Google's sign-in screen does not by itself mean that you accepted this game agreement or consented to unrelated uses of your information.

3. Your account and permission to play

We give you personal permission to use the game under this agreement and the rules shown in the game. Keep your Google account and signed-in devices secure. Do not sell or transfer accounts, impersonate others, or try to access someone else's account. Tell us if you suspect unauthorized access. We assess disputed activity using the available evidence; this agreement does not make you automatically responsible for every unauthorized act.

> Your account or guest-browser profile can be associated with up to five unfinished cities. Actual city lobbies and paused cities count. Finished cities and seats you have permanently left do not count; a bankrupt observer's seat remains associated and counts while its city is unfinished. Browsing or editing a personal party is not an actual city and does not itself use a place. Existing cities and recovery remain available if an old profile is above the limit; we do not automatically delete a city or make you leave to reduce the count. New admission remains subject to the limit and other applicable participation rules. This does not change the existing leaving or abandonment penalties.

> For guest play, the game uses an opaque browser-profile cookie and stored seat associations to apply this limit within that browser profile. It is not a verified real-world identity. Clearing the cookie or using another browser can create a different anonymous profile, and we do not identify or join guest profiles by IP address or device fingerprint. Existing guest-seat credentials remain a recovery route; losing those credentials may still prevent recovery.

Use the existing Google sign-in and game recovery routes. Recovering a Google account is handled by Google. We cannot promise to recover a lost guest seat or bypass Google's identity checks.

4. Fictional money and fair play

All game money, properties, shares, debts, lottery tickets, stakes and prizes are fictional game elements. They have no redemption or cash-out facility and create no real-money debt or claim to a real-world prize. Do not sell them, exchange them for real-world value, or arrange real-money bets through the game. The game is entertainment, not financial or investment advice.

Follow the displayed game rules. Do not cheat, automate play with unauthorized tools, exploit bugs to gain an unfair advantage, evade access restrictions, or disrupt the game or other players. Tell us about security problems privately through the contact above. Ordinary good-faith criticism and consumer reviews are allowed.

5. Timed turns, breaks and leaving a city

Multiplayer games continue on timers. Ordinary rolls normally allow 60 seconds, or 120 seconds if the lobby selected Relaxed mode; bonus rolls allow 30 seconds. Missing a roll can cause automatic play. One missed roll or a brief disconnection alone is not abandonment.

Use the game's pause or personal-break controls when available. During a group pause or personal break, returning to the Lobby keeps your seat; return before the displayed deadline. Closing a tab is not a confirmed resignation. A disconnection has at least two minutes of active-game recovery time; abandonment also requires two distinct missed ordinary-roll turns and five minutes without qualifying gameplay activity. The game shows warnings and a way to confirm you are back.

Confirming permanent leave, or qualifying abandonment, permanently gives control of that seat to a bot for that city. You may still observe; the seat's game identity and assets remain in the city. For a signed-in account in a game that began with at least two humans, abandonment or permanent leave restricts starting new multiplayer games for 10 minutes, then 30 minutes, then 120 minutes for repeated incidents within seven days. Solo games with bots and observation remain available. These are play restrictions, not monetary fines. Contact us if you believe an incident was recorded incorrectly.

6. Other players, chat and reports

Other players see your chosen name, relevant game activity and the messages you send to their shared game or social context. A friendship request requires the recipient's approval. Chat is not a confidential channel; avoid posting sensitive personal information.

Do not threaten, harass, target people with hate, share sexual exploitation material, publish another person's private information, impersonate people, spam, scam, or post unlawful content or content you lack permission to share. Do not submit knowingly false abuse reports.

Use the available mute and report actions, or contact us. Muting changes what you see; it does not remove another player or erase messages. Reports are available to the authorized operator for review. Reporting does not guarantee a particular result or an immediate response; the game is not an emergency service.

To investigate a report, we retain the reported message and limited related report details separately from ordinary city data. Deleting or retiring a city does not automatically delete that evidence. Retention must serve a lawful purpose and follow applicable law; this is not permission to retain every message indefinitely. The current report workflow does not itself impose an account ban. Any future moderation sanctions require clearly disclosed rules and an implemented review route before use.

7. Your messages and the game's content

You keep any rights you have in your messages and other content. You give us only the nonexclusive permission needed to store, copy, deliver and display that content to its intended audience, secure the service, and review reports, for as long as those purposes and lawful retention require. This permission does not include advertising use, sale of your content, or general AI-model training. Disclosure required or permitted by law remains subject to applicable privacy law.

The game software, artwork, music and other game materials belong to their respective rights holders. Permission to play does not transfer their ownership. You may send feedback voluntarily; we may use your suggestions to improve the game without an obligation to pay you. Do not send confidential material with feedback.

8. Privacy and ending use

The separate City of Chances Privacy Notice explains the information we handle, its purposes, visibility, providers, processing locations, browser storage, retention and your choices for the publicly reachable early test. Read it before entry at https://citychances.com/legal/privacy/v2/en.html. Hosting and provider processing can occur outside Canada as described in that notice. Google sign-in and support email involve their respective providers.

> The current Privacy Notice also explains the optional self-only Google profile photo, your photo/character and nickname choices, and the guest-browser profile used for the unfinished-city limit. These profile features do not make your Google photo visible to other players or replace your in-game character artwork. Existing city recovery does not require a forced logout or acceptance of optional cosmetic use.

We record your agreement acceptance privately for your account or guest seat. Accepting this agreement does not waive privacy rights or authorize optional marketing or unrelated processing. Contact support@citychances.com for access, correction, account closure/deletion, retention questions or a privacy concern. Requests and lawful retention remain subject to applicable law; immediate deletion from shared game history, report evidence or existing copies is not promised.

You may stop using the game at any time. If you are in an active city, the leaving and recovery rules above still apply. We may interrupt service where reasonably necessary to address a security risk or comply with law.

9. Availability, changes and your legal rights

An internet connection is needed. Maintenance, faults, disconnections and service closure can interrupt play; we cannot promise uninterrupted service or recovery of every unfinished game. We will use reasonable care when operating the game and handling recovery problems. Nothing here excludes liability or remedies that applicable law preserves.

We may improve the game and explain rule changes before they affect new play where reasonably possible. Material changes to this agreement will be explained and presented for your renewed acceptance before applying prospectively to your use. They will not rewrite past acceptance or remove rights concerning past events. If you decline, you can stop using the service and contact us about your account and records. Urgent legal or security measures remain subject to applicable law.

British Columbia and applicable Canadian federal law govern this agreement to the extent permitted by law. Mandatory protections where you live remain available. You may contact us to try to resolve a concern, but you do not have to do so before using a court, tribunal, regulator or other remedy available by law. This agreement imposes no mandatory arbitration, class-action waiver, exclusive foreign court, or restriction on honest reviews. If a provision cannot lawfully apply, it applies only to the permitted extent; the remaining provisions continue where lawful and workable.

The English text is the drafting reference and the Persian text is intended to convey the same terms. Tell us about a discrepancy so we can correct it; this statement does not override mandatory language rights or legal interpretation rules.
