Islands

Terms of Service

Last updated: June 19, 2026

1. Acceptance of these terms

Islands is a browser based multiplayer game available at islands.games (the "Game"). By accessing or playing the Game you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Game.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to connect a wallet and make purchases in the Game. Guests may explore the world without a wallet. You are responsible for making sure that your use of the Game is legal where you live.

3. Your wallet and your account

  • Your account is your Solana wallet. Logging in means signing a message with your wallet. This signature is free and cannot move funds.
  • You alone are responsible for your wallet, its seed phrase and its security. We can never recover wallets, seed phrases or funds for you, and we will never ask for them.
  • Your hero name and island names must not be offensive, misleading or infringe the rights of others. We may reset names that break this rule.

4. Virtual items and progress

  • Islands, buildings, resources (meat, gold, wood), guardians, levels, XP and all other in-game content are virtual items. They exist only inside the Game and have no monetary value outside of it.
  • Virtual items are not an investment. We make no promises about their future value, availability or tradability.
  • Purchases unlock virtual content as part of an entertainment service. A purchase is fulfilled at the moment the content is delivered in-game and does not create a deposit, a stored balance owed to you or any ongoing claim against us beyond that delivery.
  • Buying land unlocks an expanded gameplay experience, similar in spirit to a battle pass: more space to build, higher in-game limits and access to more of the Game. It is access to in-game content as part of an entertainment service. It is not an investment, a security, a deposit or a redeemable asset, and it has no monetary value outside the Game.
  • We constantly balance and develop the Game. Prices, drop rates, stats and mechanics can change at any time as part of normal game development.

5. Payments

  • Land purchases and market buys are USDC payments on Solana mainnet. Every payment requires your explicit wallet signature and is recorded on-chain.
  • Blockchain payments are final. Once a transaction is confirmed on-chain it cannot be reversed by us, and a purchase is completed with the in-game delivery of what you bought.
  • No refunds. All purchases are final and non-refundable, including land and all player market trades. We cannot reverse, cancel or refund a transaction once it is confirmed on-chain and delivered in-game, and we cannot refund spent funds, lost items or lost progress, except where a refund is strictly required by applicable law. By making a purchase you acknowledge that you are buying access to virtual in-game content right now and you waive any later claim for a refund.
  • You are responsible for the wallet you pay from, for the network you use and for any taxes that may apply to you.
  • The Solana network is operated by third parties. We are not responsible for network outages, congestion or wallet software issues.

6. Player market

  • The in-game market is player to player. Sellers set their own prices; we neither set nor endorse them.
  • Listed items are held in escrow and delivered automatically after payment. A listing can never be sold twice.
  • When you sell, the buyer's USDC is sent on-chain directly to your wallet. The proceeds never pass through us and are never held by us as a balance.
  • Market trades happen directly between players: the buyer pays the seller. We charge no fee, take no cut and do not profit from these trades. Because they are player to player and final, we cannot refund, reverse or mediate a market purchase, and we are not a party to the deal between buyer and seller.

7. Fair play

You agree not to:

  • use bots, macros, scripts or any form of automation to play for you;
  • exploit bugs (report them instead), tamper with the client or attack our servers;
  • harass other players or use offensive names or content;
  • use the Game for money laundering or any other illegal activity.

We may suspend or terminate access for violations. Severe violations can result in the loss of virtual items and progress without compensation.

8. Intellectual property

The Game, its code, design, artwork and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. Buying virtual land grants you in-game rights only and no rights to the underlying software or artwork.

Some tiles and art in the Game are based on the Tiny Swords asset pack (by Pixel Frog), used under its license, with credit to its creator.

Player character sprites are generated with the Universal LPC Spritesheet Character Generator (Liberated Pixel Cup project), combining artwork by many contributors including Johannes Sjolund (wulax), David Conway Jr. (JaidynReiman), Eliza Wyatt (ElizaWy), bluecarrot16, Sander Frenken (castelonia), Lanea Zimmerman (Sharm), Stephen Challener (Redshrike), Daniel Eddeland (daneeklu), Manuel Riecke (MrBeast) and many others, licensed under CC BY SA 3.0, OGA BY 3.0 and GPL 3.0. Full per asset credits are listed in the project's CREDITS.csv.

9. Availability and changes

  • We aim for a stable Game but provide it "as is" and "as available", without guarantees of uptime, persistence or error free operation.
  • We may update, change, suspend or discontinue the Game or parts of it at any time, temporarily or permanently. Where reasonably possible we will announce major changes in advance.
  • The Game and all related services may go offline or be shut down permanently at any time, for any reason. Because purchases are fulfilled at delivery (see sections 4 and 5), this does not entitle you to any refund, reimbursement or compensation for amounts already spent or for virtual items, land or progress that become unavailable. We generally cannot and do not provide refunds.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, lost profits, lost virtual items or losses caused by wallets, the Solana network or other third party services. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows the current version. Continued use of the Game after a change means you accept the new terms.
