Terms of Use

1. Agreement and scope

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of Memory Wastes, memorywastes.com, connected game features, support services, and any Free, Full, additional-map or other digital content made available by Deep Tech Solutions FZ-LLC (collectively, the “Services”).

By downloading, installing, accessing, purchasing, or using any part of the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. Store, device, and platform terms may also apply to you.

2. Eligibility and age

Memory Wastes is intended for a mature teen and adult audience. You must meet the minimum age required by the store, platform, age rating, and law that apply where you use the game, and you must be legally capable of agreeing to these Terms.

If applicable law requires permission from a parent or legal guardian, you may use the Services only with that permission. The game is not offered as a child-directed service.

3. License and ownership

The game and its digital content are licensed, not sold, except where applicable law provides otherwise. Subject to these Terms and the rules of the store through which you obtained the game, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the version and content to which you have a valid entitlement.

Deep Tech Solutions FZ-LLC and its licensors retain all rights in the game, software, artwork, music, text, characters, world, trademarks, services, and other materials that are not expressly granted to you. No ownership of our intellectual property is transferred to you.

4. Platform and store terms

Steam, Epic Games Store, Apple App Store, Google Play, device manufacturers, payment processors, and other distribution services may impose additional rules concerning downloads, purchases, refunds, family sharing, cloud functions, age restrictions, and account use. Those rules govern the relationship between you and the relevant platform for matters within that platform’s control.

If a mandatory platform rule conflicts with these Terms, the mandatory platform rule controls only to the extent of that conflict. We remain responsible for Memory Wastes to the extent required by law and our agreements with the relevant platform.

5. Free Version, Full Version, and additional content

The Free Version provides the core gameplay on the Shore Wastes, has a limit of up to 365 in-game days per run, and does not carry the Personal Archive into a new run after death. The Full Version removes the 365-day limit and allows the Personal Archive to persist after death, subject to the game rules then in effect.

Additional maps and future premium features may be offered separately. Purchasing the Full Version does not by itself promise or include every present or future paid map, expansion, feature, or other digital item. Availability, content, packaging, and pricing may differ by platform and region. No version of Memory Wastes is intended to contain advertising.

6. Purchases, entitlements, restoration, and refunds

Paid access may include the Full Version, individual additional maps, bundles, or other digital entitlements. A purchase grants the applicable license or entitlement; it does not transfer ownership of the underlying software or intellectual property.

Purchases are normally tied to the store or platform account through which they were obtained. Entitlements do not automatically transfer between Steam, Epic Games Store, Apple, Google, or other platform accounts unless we expressly state otherwise. Where supported, restoration of purchases uses the relevant platform’s mechanism.

Billing, taxes, chargebacks, cancellations, and refunds are generally handled under the rules of the store or payment provider that processed the transaction. Nothing in these Terms removes any refund, cancellation, or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

7. Saves, runs, death, loss, and game consequences

Memory Wastes is designed around permanent and irreversible gameplay consequences. Character death, item destruction, resource expenditure, failed actions, changing reputation, missed opportunities, the Free Version run limit, and loss of run-scoped progress can be intentional game mechanics rather than defects.

You are responsible for understanding the rules displayed in the game. We do not guarantee preservation or recoverability of every local save, cache, run, record, setting, or state after device failure, file corruption, operating-system action, uninstall, unsupported modification, platform failure, or other event outside our reasonable control. Where the game provides a restore or persistence feature, it is subject to its stated scope and technical availability.

8. Online and offline operation

The game is designed to start and continue with bundled content and the last valid local cache without requiring a continuous connection. Some connected features, content updates, entitlement checks, player exchange functions, store functions, and game updates require internet access and may be temporarily unavailable.

We do not guarantee continuous availability, latency, capacity, or error-free operation of online functions. Maintenance, security incidents, platform outages, network failures, legal requirements, force majeure, or third-party service changes may interrupt or limit them.

9. Player Exchange and public character information

If you use connected Player Exchange features, the game may publish a limited current character snapshot to other players. This can include the character name you enter, character type, attributes, skills, Life, Sickness, and equipped weapons and protection with gameplay values. Life and Sickness are fictional game statistics and are not statements about your real health.

Do not use your real name, contact information, account credentials, or other sensitive personal information as a character name. Information submitted for public exchange should be treated as public to other users of the connected feature.

10. Names, conduct, and user-submitted material

You must not submit or distribute through the Services any character name or other user-controlled material that is unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, threatening, harassing, hateful, sexually exploitative, privacy-invasive, impersonating, or designed to facilitate abuse.

We may filter, refuse, hide, remove, reset, or restrict user-submitted material, and may restrict connected access, when reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect users, comply with platform rules or law, or protect the Services. You can report objectionable material or abusive use to support@memorywastes.com.

11. Security, fair use, and modified data

You must not bypass authentication or entitlement checks; forge purchase status; use stolen or shared credentials; interfere with network or security controls; deliberately submit impossible or manipulated connected snapshots; exploit vulnerabilities; automate abusive requests; scrape protected services; overload infrastructure; or attempt to identify another player from non-public technical identifiers.

Connected services may apply automated validation, rate limits, installation controls, token revocation, and checks for clearly abnormal game values. We may reject data or suspend connected access where we reasonably believe that fraud, abuse, cheating that harms connected features, or a security risk is occurring. These controls do not authorize us to inspect unrelated files on your device.

12. Sharing and external social services

Memory Wastes may let you choose to share selected in-game records, images, links, or achievements through external services. Sharing is initiated by you. Once content is sent to or posted on an external service, that service’s rules and privacy practices apply.

You are responsible for reviewing what you choose to publish. We do not control whether an external social network edits, previews, indexes, retains, removes, restricts, or redistributes content after it leaves our Services.

13. Fiction and references to the real world

Memory Wastes and related game content are works of fiction set in a fictional world. Unless expressly identified as a reference to a real source, geographic place, historical fact, or work, the characters, organizations, governments, movements, institutions, events, documents, reports, dialogue, and other elements of the game world are fictional. They are not intended to depict, identify, or characterize any real person, living or deceased, including political or public figures, or any real state, government, political party, movement, organization, company, community, or event. No such identification is intended or should be inferred from the content. Any resemblance beyond expressly identified references to the real world is coincidental and unintended.

In creating the fictional world, real geographic, historical, literary, cultural, scientific, technological, and other sources, facts, and general motifs may be used, quoted, adapted, or serve as inspiration. Their use is solely for artistic context and world-building and is not intended and should not be interpreted as a statement of fact, implication, allegation, commentary, evaluation, criticism, endorsement, or disapproval concerning any real person or organization, or as indicating any association with Memory Wastes or Deep Tech Solutions. Fictional statements, actions, and characteristics should not be attributed to real persons or organizations solely because of perceived resemblance or a reference to a real source. Game content is not news reporting, documentary representation, or a basis for conclusions about the real world.

14. Updates, balancing, and changes to the game

We may patch, rebalance, add, remove, rename, correct, replace, or redesign game systems, content, interfaces, network features, item values, probabilities, compatibility, or technical requirements where reasonably necessary for development, security, balance, legal compliance, platform compliance, or product quality.

Roadmaps, previews, concepts, screenshots, descriptions of future maps, and statements about planned features describe current intentions and are not guarantees that a feature will ship on a particular date or in a particular form. Paid content that has already been purchased remains subject to applicable consumer law and the purchase terms.

15. Third-party services

The Services may rely on third parties for distribution, payments, hosting, content delivery, authentication, operating systems, social sharing, and other infrastructure. Their products and services are governed by their own terms and may change or become unavailable independently of us.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for third-party acts, outages, account decisions, content, security incidents, or service changes that are outside our reasonable control.

16. Support and communications

For game, purchase, privacy, or connected-feature support, contact support@memorywastes.com. We may request information reasonably necessary to investigate a request, verify an entitlement, locate relevant server data, or protect an account or installation.

Never send us passwords, full payment-card details, access or refresh tokens, license keys, or other authentication secrets unless a specific secure support process expressly requires a particular item.

17. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, completely secure, error-free, free from all defects, compatible with every device or future operating system, or that every defect can or will be corrected.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and similar implied warranties. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits warranties, remedies, or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

18. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Deep Tech Solutions FZ-LLC and its officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential losses, or for loss of profits, business opportunity, goodwill, or data, arising from the Services.

Where liability may lawfully be limited, our aggregate liability for claims arising from the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid directly for the affected Memory Wastes product or entitlement during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or USD 50 (or the closest equivalent in your local currency). This cap does not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence where such liability cannot be limited, or any other liability that applicable law forbids us to exclude or limit.

19. Responsibility for unlawful misuse

To the extent permitted by law, you are responsible for losses and reasonable costs that result directly from your intentional fraud, unlawful misuse of the Services, knowing infringement of third-party rights, or deliberate violation of security restrictions in these Terms.

This section does not require a consumer to compensate us for ordinary gameplay, good-faith mistakes, defects in the Services, or matters for which such responsibility would be prohibited or unfair under mandatory law.

20. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate connected features, revoke service tokens, or restrict access when reasonably necessary because of a material breach of these Terms, fraud, security risk, unlawful conduct, platform action, non-payment, or where continued operation is unlawful or technically impracticable.

Suspension of connected services does not automatically erase a local save or content already lawfully installed on your device, unless deletion is required by law, platform action, corruption recovery, or the normal operation of the game. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, and dispute provisions—remain in effect.

21. Intellectual property and complaints

You may not reproduce, distribute, sell, rent, sublicense, extract, or commercially exploit substantial parts of the game or Services except as expressly permitted by us, by applicable law, or by the relevant platform. You may not remove ownership notices or falsely represent an unofficial product, mod, service, page, or communication as official Memory Wastes material.

If you believe content made available through the Services infringes your intellectual-property or other legal rights, contact support@memorywastes.com with enough information for us to identify the material and evaluate the claim. We may request additional verification where reasonably necessary.

22. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and our relationship with you are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates and, where applicable, the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except to the extent mandatory consumer law in your place of residence gives you rights that cannot be waived by contract.

Before starting formal proceedings, you and we should make a reasonable attempt to resolve the dispute through support. Subject to mandatory consumer jurisdiction rules, courts with competent jurisdiction in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, will have jurisdiction. Nothing here prevents you from using a regulator, consumer-protection body, small-claims process, or local court where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to do so.

23. Changes, severability, assignment, and entire agreement

We may update these Terms when the Services, law, platform requirements, security needs, or business arrangements change. We will publish the updated version and update the effective or last-updated date. Where law requires additional notice or affirmative consent, we will provide it. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. We may assign these Terms as part of a merger, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or transfer of the Memory Wastes business, subject to applicable law. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, applicable purchase terms, and mandatory platform terms form the agreement governing the relevant Services.

24. Apple App Store users

If you obtain Memory Wastes through Apple’s App Store, Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to the app license unless a custom EULA is expressly presented for Memory Wastes through App Store Connect. These Terms additionally govern our Services and your conduct to the extent they do not conflict with that applicable license.

Apple is not the provider of Memory Wastes and is not responsible for our maintenance or support obligations. To the extent required by Apple’s applicable terms, Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of the applicable app license and may enforce it. Warranty and refund responsibilities for App Store transactions are allocated as required by Apple’s terms and applicable law.
