IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR US & NORTH AMERICAN USERS: These Terms of Service include a binding arbitration provision and class action waiver. Please read Section 9 carefully. If you are under the age of 13, you may not play this game or create an account pursuant to COPPA regulations.
1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to REGRESSION (“the Game”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), operated by the REGRESSION development team. By accessing, browsing, or playing REGRESSION at hoegwi-game.cherish44.workers.dev or any related domains, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy.
These Terms apply to the browser-based version of the Game and to the REGRESSION Android app distributed through Google Play (the “App”). The web version is a free demo with limited content; additional content, such as extra playable characters, is available only in the App.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease accessing and playing the Game.
2. Eligibility & Age Restrictions (COPPA & GDPR)
You must be at least 13 years of age (or 16 years of age where required by applicable local law, including California CCPA/CPRA and certain EU member states) to access and play the Game or register an account. In compliance with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and EU GDPR, we do not knowingly direct our services to children under 13 or collect personal information from them without verifiable parental consent.
If you are between the ages of 13 and 18 (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction), you represent and warrant that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
3. Accounts, Guest Access & Cloud Saves
Players may access the Game using either a Guest Account or through Google OAuth Sign-In.
- Guest Accounts: Generated with an anonymous identifier. Guest data is stored in your local browser cache (localStorage) and mirrored to our database for leaderboards. Clearing your browser data will permanently delete local guest saves.
- Google Accounts: Linking a Google account enables cross-device cloud synchronization and verified leaderboard participation. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Google credentials.
- Account Deletion: In accordance with North American and international data privacy laws, you may permanently delete your account, game saves, and ranking records at any time directly through the in-game Account menu or by submitting a request to
cherish44@gmail.com.
4. User Conduct & Fair Play Rules
To preserve the competitive integrity of global rankings and player enjoyment, you agree not to:
- Use cheats, automation software (bots), hacks, memory editors, or exploits to manipulate game scores, gold, HP, or card draws.
- Submit fraudulent, tampered, or fabricated battle scores to the ranking server.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the client verification code.
- Impersonate administrators or choose offensive, hateful, defamatory, or unlawful player names.
We reserve the right to disqualify scores, suspend or permanently ban accounts, and delete leaderboard entries without prior notice if fraudulent activity is detected.
5. Virtual Items, In-Game Currency & Progress
The Game features in-game gold, cards, relics, and progression unlocks (“Virtual Goods”). All Virtual Goods are provided solely for personal entertainment within the Game. Virtual Goods have no monetary value, cannot be redeemed for real currency, and do not constitute personal property. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use Virtual Goods strictly within the Game.
Paid Content: Certain content, such as additional playable characters, can be unlocked in the App through one-time in-app purchases. Purchases are processed by Google Play and are subject to the Google Play terms. A purchase grants you a license to use that content within the Game and does not transfer ownership; it is tied to the Google Play account used to make the purchase.
Refunds: Refunds are handled by Google Play in accordance with its refund policy, and you can request one through Google Play. This Section does not affect any statutory right of withdrawal or refund that you may have under the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence.
6. Intellectual Property Rights
All title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights in and to the Game—including but not limited to source code, game mechanics, illustrations, pixel art, lore, audio tracks, sound effects, characters, and trademarks—are the exclusive property of the REGRESSION development team and its licensors. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, or distribute any game assets without prior written authorization.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties (“AS IS”)
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA, THE GAME IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
8. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE REGRESSION DEVELOPMENT TEAM BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE GAME, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
Your Statutory Rights: Nothing in Sections 7 or 8 excludes or limits any liability or any right that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including the mandatory consumer protection laws of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and other countries where you live.
9. Governing Law, Dispute Resolution & Arbitration
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and U.S. Federal Law, without giving effect to conflict of laws principles. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Game shall be resolved through confidential, binding individual arbitration rather than in court, and you waive any right to participate in a class-action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
Consumers outside the United States: If you are a consumer residing in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or any other jurisdiction whose mandatory laws do not permit the arbitration agreement or class action waiver above, those provisions do not apply to you. You may bring claims before the competent courts of your country of residence, and you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of that country notwithstanding the choice of California law.
10. Modifications & Contact
We reserve the right to amend or update these Terms at any time. When updates occur, the “Effective Date” at the top of this page will be revised. Continued use of the Game following notice of changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
