Platform Terms of Use for Southern Lights Play

By accessing or using the Southern Lights Play platform, a digital social entertainment space for New Zealand users, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you disagree with any part, you must cease using our platform immediately.

These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Southern Lights Play regarding your use of our free-to-play social features and supersede any prior agreements.

To participate in certain community features, you may need to create an account. You agree to provide accurate information and maintain the security of your login credentials. You are solely responsible for all activities under your account.

You must notify us immediately at support@southernlightsplay.com if you suspect any unauthorized use. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or are used for disruptive behavior.

Our platform is a community for respectful social interaction. You agree not to engage in conduct that is unlawful, harassing, abusive, fraudulent, or that infringes on the rights of others. This includes, but is not limited to, spamming, impersonation, or distributing malicious software.

We encourage positive engagement and reserve the right to moderate content and restrict access to users who disrupt the community environment designed for entertainment and connection.

You retain ownership of content you create and share on our platform. However, by posting, you grant Southern Lights Play a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute that content for the purpose of operating and promoting the platform.

You affirm that any content you share does not violate third-party rights and is appropriate for a general audience. We may remove any content deemed inappropriate at our sole discretion.

All platform elements, including graphics, designs, software, the "Southern Lights Play" name, and logos are our property or licensed to us and are protected by copyright and trademark laws. Your use of the platform does not grant you ownership of any intellectual property.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on our platform or its content for commercial purposes without our express written permission.

Our platform is provided "as is" and "as available" for entertainment purposes. To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law, Southern Lights Play shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use or inability to use the platform.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Our liability for direct damages is limited to the amount you have paid to use the platform (which is zero, as it is a free-to-play service).

You may stop using our platform at any time. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the platform at our discretion, without prior notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users or the platform.

Upon termination, your right to use the platform ceases immediately. Provisions regarding intellectual property, liability, and dispute resolution shall survive termination.

We may update these Terms of Use periodically to reflect changes in our platform or legal requirements. We will notify users of significant changes by posting the new terms on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.

Your continued use of the Southern Lights Play platform after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms. We encourage you to review this page regularly for updates.
