      2. No guarantees are made to the availability of the game, website, related services or the continued integrity of the data contained within the database(s).
      3. No support will be provided for features which are not officially supported within the game.
    3. Ownership:
      1. The source code and data for this game and website are Copyright © Andrew Taylor and cannot be used, reverse engineered, modified or copied in part or entirely without the owner’s express permission.
      2. All in-game assets remain the property of the game and website owner.
      3. For content submitted through the game, or related services, that is covered by intellectual copyright, you grant the website, game and owner perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, fully sub-licensable and irrevocable, royalty-free rights to any user-generated content. You accept that such content can also be used in any manner, including derivative works or inclusion into other works. With or without attribution and without the requirement of any permission or payment to you or any other related person or entity. Non-exhaustive examples of such content include forum posts, ideas, concepts, images, text. You retain your own copyright over your own content.
      4. If you submit content for use with the game, and you are not the original copyright holder, you should provide sources where possible.
      5. You must not claim other people's content as your own.
    4. Usage:
      1. You are not permitted to run automated scans, perform web scraping or data mining on the website without the website owner’s express permission. Such activity is against the terms of use and may compromise the level of service and enjoyment to other users of the website.
      2. You are not allowed to use an automated bot, automated clicker or similar tool to play the game. It is not designed for this purpose, constitutes cheating and may degrade the level of service and enjoyment of the game to other players & website users.
  2. Vehicles, Brands, Locations & Other Items
    1. Vehicle models, manufacturers, brands and locations are to be treated as fictitious in the context of the game and should not be relied upon to accurately reflect any similarly named counterparts in the real world.
    2. Should any manufacturer, trademark or copyright owner object to having a vehicle or other item in the game bearing the same name in the game, then please contact the website owner via the Contact Us form located in the main website navigation. If necessary, they will be removed or altered as appropriate as soon as possible.
  3. Third Party Images & Image Attribution
    1. The game owner endeavours to remove any registration marks on any vehicle’s photos in the game. If any registrations are still visible, then please contact the game owner. All third-party images that are used have been altered and so should not be relied upon for accuracy.
    2. As of November 2021, image attributions were added to the game to give the appropriate credit to the relevant parties of vehicles within the game where possible.
    3. With a game of this scale and with such little resource, it would be realistically impossible to gain permission for all images within the game. Many of these images would have or already have been lost in time, and one of the aims of the game is to preserve and re-live the automotive world of the past in a historical context.
    4. All vehicles in the game, and therefore images of, are freely accessible and are not behind a pay wall.
      1. All images contained within the game have been modified in some way and are downscaled to a low-resolution thumbnail image. They thereby are considered by the game owner to be derivatives of the original works and are in many cases inferior due to the resolution constraints imposed by their inclusion in the game.
      2. Credit for images will be given where practical and is an area of ongoing effort.
      3. Images with licencing will be clearly marked once processed and where necessary.
      4. Images without licencing will be regarded as placeholder images and may be replaced or removed on request by the relevant copyright owner. Images are used in good faith and are not intended to diminish or compete against any interests of the copyright holder.
  4. Player Conduct
    1. Communication:
      1. Unless stated elsewhere, you should communicate clearly in English to aid transparency.
      2. Treat people with respect. Harassment, discrimination, toxicity and hate speech are not tolerated. Be friendly. Be kind.
      3. Profanity is not permitted in any part of the game, forums or when messaging other players.
      4. You agree not to communicate any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws to any user of this game.
      5. Do not deliberately send unwanted DMs to other users. If you are asked to stop, then you must do so.
      6. You will not knowingly communicate content that is misleading, false or inaccurate.

      11. There are no systematic reviews of all user content submitted by you or other users, unless stated otherwise.
    2. Multiple accounts are not permitted. If you need to create another account, then you should cease using any previous accounts owned by yourself.

In the event of such a discovery, you should report the bug via either the bug report form or other official communication channels e.g. Direct Message on Discord. You should not exploit it yourself.
    4. Accounts found directly or indirectly benefiting other accounts may be investigated for cheating, and users may have in-game items removed and / or their accounts locked or permanently banned from the game.
    5. If you are exploiting limitations within the game to gain additional and unsupported functionality, then it may fall foul of the above terms and may be treated similarly.
    6. Accounts suspected of either cheating or being a duplicate of another active account belonging to the same person may be locked or banned permanently. If you would like to appeal this, then you can contact the game owner through the Contact Us form on the website.
    7. Those breaking the terms and conditions may have limits applied to their account and / or their account may be locked or banned permanently.
    8. Attempting to access protected or restricted areas of the website, game and related services are explicitly forbidden if you have not been given explicit and deliberate access.
  5. Game Memberships
    1. Game Membership payments are treated as donations to the project and are not refundable. (They are, however, very much appreciated!).
    2. A month may be treated as a calendar month or 30 days depending on the context. A year constitutes 365 days, or a year on from the original date.
    3. Benefits:
      1. Do not provide any additional access to any unlicenced third party in-game vehicle images, brands or locations bearing similar names or likenesses unless said or licenced otherwise. Access to such content is provided free without a membership and will remain so for the foreseeable future.
      2. If you breach the terms of this agreement or disagree with it, then you may lose access to member content or services and payments are non-refundable. It is the subscription holder's responsibility to cancel any subscription agreements that were previously set up.
    4. Cancellation:
      1. The subscription holder has the responsibility of subscription cancellation. Please review your payment provider (such as Ko-fi, Patreon or similar) where you can cancel your membership to the game. Please get in touch if you need assistance.
      2. The game owner reserves the right to cancel memberships for any reason, such as suspected duplicate payments, suspected fraud or similar.
    5. Creation:
      1. To create a membership, you must be either the owner of the funds to be used, the payer, or have permission from the person who is.
      2. If you are not the owner of the funds to be used, the payer, and were not given permission, then you may have your account permanently banned from the game.
      3. Memberships using fraudulent payment methods, or chargebacks, may result in a permanent account ban.
    6. Duplicate Payments & Subscriptions:
      1. If there is more than one subscription running for a given account, then preference will be given to the highest membership tier. Payments will be prorated accordingly as per the Game Memberships Upgrades & Downgrades sections.
      2. If more than one active subscription exists, then the subscription holder has the responsibility of subscription cancellation. Please get in touch if you need assistance. Subscriptions may be cancelled with no prior notice.
    7. Legacy Membership Rates
      1. If you have an active, recurring membership subscription and the membership tier pricing changes, then you will typically be able to continue paying for membership at the old rates.
      2. If you have a recurring membership subscription, but it has been cancelled or lapsed and is no longer active, then you may lose access to the legacy membership rate.
    8. Gifted Memberships / Membership Boosts:

      If you have been given or have been awarded a membership boost, then this will work alongside any current membership that you may, or may not, have.

      1. If you have an active membership:
        The boost will apply on top and may extend your membership or push your membership up to a higher tier whilst the boost is in effect. If your membership lapses whilst a boost is in place, then it will work as per the below.
      2. If you do not have an active membership:
        The boost will grant you membership whilst the boost is in effect. If you also later sign up for membership, then it will work as per the above.
    9. Membership Upgrades & Downgrades
      1. Downgrades: If you have an active membership, and you downgrade your membership from a higher tier (e.g. from Platinum to Gold), then you will continue on your older tier until your payments from that tier have elapsed. Once that has elapsed, you will then switch to your new lower tier and payments will be credited then.
      2. Upgrades: If you have an active membership, and you upgrade your membership to a higher tier (e.g. Gold to Platinum), then you automatically upgrade as soon as your switch has been processed. Any unused prior payments at a lower tier will be prorated, as applicable, to the rate of the newer higher tier. If a payment is received from your previous subscription, then it will be prorated onto your new tier.
    10. Refunds:
      1. Payments are non-refundable, and any refunds are purely discretionary.
      2. The game owner reserves the right to refund payments for any reason, including for example, suspected duplicate payments, suspected fraud or similar.
