Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using fern-fortune.com you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand.

2. Eligibility — 18+ Only

You must be at least 18 years of age to use Fern Fortune. By using the site you confirm that you meet this requirement. We reserve the right to terminate access for any user we have reason to believe is under 18.

3. Nature of the Service — Social Casino

Fern Fortune is a social casino — a free-to-play entertainment platform using casino-style mechanics (reels, wheels, cards, scratch panels). It is NOT a gambling service and does NOT offer:

• Real-money wagering of any kind.
• The opportunity to win real money, prizes, or anything of tangible value.
• Deposits, withdrawals, or any financial transactions.

Fern Coins — the virtual currency used in all games on this social casino — have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for cash or prizes, and cannot be transferred outside the browser session.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Fern Fortune only for lawful, personal entertainment purposes. You must not:

• Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or exploit any part of the site or its game logic.
• Use automated tools (bots, scripts) to interact with the games.
• Attempt to circumvent the age-gate or any other access control.
• Misrepresent the nature of Fern Coins to others (e.g. claiming they have monetary value).
• Use the site in any way that could harm Fern Fortune Studios Limited or its users.

5. Intellectual Property

All content on fern-fortune.com — including but not limited to the Fern Fortune brand, the Frond mascot, game artwork, copy, and code — is the exclusive property of Fern Fortune Studios Limited and is protected by New Zealand and international copyright law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our prior written consent.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

Fern Fortune is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that game outcomes will meet any particular expectation. Game randomness is simulated in-browser and is for entertainment only.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law, Fern Fortune Studios Limited shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site. Because no real money is involved, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to NZD $0 (nil).

8. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may modify these Terms of Service or the site at any time. Continued use of Fern Fortune after changes constitutes acceptance. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when material changes are made.
