Terms of Service
These terms are the agreement between you and Legend Games LLC, the publisher and operator of XETODUS. By creating an account or playing, you accept them. If you do not agree, please do not use the game.
1. Who can play
You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age for consenting to online services in your country if that is higher. If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), a parent or guardian must agree to these terms for you and is responsible for your purchases. You may not play if we have previously banned you.
2. Your account
- Give accurate information and keep your email address current. One person owns an account; do not share, sell, rent or transfer it.
- Keep your password, two-factor codes and recovery codes secret. You are responsible for what happens under your account; tell us at [email protected] if you think someone else has access.
- Usernames and pilot names must follow the code of conduct. We may change a name that does not.
3. Code of conduct
XETODUS is a competitive online world; ambushes, piracy and rivalry inside the game's rules are part of it. What is not allowed:
- Cheating: bots, macros that play for you, modified clients, exploiting bugs, or tampering with the game's network traffic or servers.
- Real-money trading: buying or selling accounts, credits, items, ships or services for money or anything outside the game.
- Harassment, hate speech, threats, sexual content involving minors, doxxing or sharing others' personal data, and spam.
- Impersonating staff, scamming for account credentials, or anything illegal.
Report problems in game or at [email protected]. We may warn, mute, suspend or ban accounts, remove names, items or currency obtained by breaking these rules, and reverse transactions. Serious or repeated breaches lead to a permanent ban without refund, except where the law requires one.
4. Virtual items and currencies
- Credits, items, ships, colonies and other in-game content, and Aether, are a limited, personal, revocable licence to use them in the game. They have no cash value, are not your property, cannot be redeemed for money and cannot be exchanged outside the game.
- Aether is account-bound: it cannot be transferred to another player or turned into credits or items.
- We may change, rebalance, add or remove game features, items, prices in game currency and rules to keep the game fair and working. We will try to give notice of major changes.
5. Vanguard Charter subscription
- The Vanguard Charter is an optional subscription, currently $4.99 per month or $40 per year where the yearly plan is offered, plus applicable tax, billed by our payment processor Stripe.
- It renews automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. You can cancel any time with Manage subscription in the game; your perks continue until the end of the period you already paid for, then stop.
- If a payment fails, perks may continue for a short grace period while Stripe retries, then end.
- We may change the price or the perks. We will tell you at least 30 days before a price change applies to you, and you can cancel before it does. Taxes may change as the law requires.
- When the Charter ends nothing you earned in play is taken away; pilots beyond the free slots wait in storage until you return.
6. Aether purchases
Aether packs are one-time purchases of account-bound Aether, delivered to your account immediately after payment. Aether is spent on cosmetic liveries and Charter time.
7. Refunds and withdrawal
If something went wrong with a charge, contact us within 14 days and we'll make it right. Players in the EU and UK can withdraw from a new subscription within 14 days of the first payment for a refund of the unused part. Aether is delivered immediately. Where you expressly agree at checkout to immediate delivery and acknowledge that you lose the right of withdrawal, that right ends on delivery; otherwise EU and UK players can withdraw from an Aether purchase within 14 days for the Aether they have not spent. Details are in our Refund Policy. Nothing in these terms limits refund rights you have under the law of your country.
8. Content and intellectual property
The game, its software, art, music, names and logos belong to Legend Games LLC or its licensors. You may take screenshots and videos of your own play and share them, including monetised streams, as long as you do not suggest we endorse you. You may not copy, reverse engineer, resell or build competing services from the game except as the law allows. Anything you post in chat or name in game you license to us to display and operate the game.
9. Availability and changes
XETODUS is an online service that we keep developing. It may be unavailable during maintenance or outages, and features may change or be retired. We may end the game; if we do we will give at least 30 days' notice and refund any unused prepaid subscription time.
10. Disclaimers
To the extent the law allows, the game is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, including fitness for a particular purpose or that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. Some countries do not allow these exclusions, so they may not apply to you.
11. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, Legend Games LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or loss of data, profits or virtual items, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or US $50. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud, and consumers in the EU and UK keep their statutory rights.
12. Ending the agreement
You can stop playing and delete your account at any time in Account settings. We may suspend or end your account for breaking these terms, as described in section 3, or if we are required to by law.
13. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state in which Legend Games LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer in the EU, UK or another country whose law gives you the right to bring claims at home or under your local law, you keep that right. Please contact us first; most problems are solved quickly by email.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We will show the date at the top and tell you in the game or by email before significant changes take effect. If you keep playing after that, the new terms apply; if you do not agree, you can close your account.
