TERMS OF SERVICE
Last Updated: September 29, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Phantoms (“Phantoms,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms govern your access to and use of Auto Tower Defense, autotowerdefense.com, and any related games, websites, applications, features, content, and services we provide (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Services.
1. About Phantoms
Phantoms is a software and game development business based in Ontario, Canada.
Auto Tower Defense and its related Services are developed and operated by Phantoms.
2. Eligibility
You must be legally permitted to use the Services under the laws applicable to you.
If you are under the age of majority where you live, your parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf where required by law.
Certain features, purchases, or third-party services may have additional age requirements.
3. Accounts
Certain features of Auto Tower Defense require an account.
When creating and using an account, you agree to provide accurate information and to keep your account information reasonably up to date.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your login credentials and for activity conducted through your account to the extent permitted by applicable law.
You may not sell, rent, give away, or otherwise transfer your account unless Phantoms expressly permits the transfer.
If you believe your account has been accessed without authorization, contact us at autotowerdefense@gmail.com.
We may require reasonable verification that you own an account before making changes to it or providing account-related assistance.
4. Rules of Conduct
You agree not to misuse the Services.
You may not:
- Cheat or use unauthorized software, modifications, bots, scripts, automation, exploits, or other methods intended to gain an unfair advantage.
- Exploit bugs, vulnerabilities, unintended game mechanics, or errors for an unfair advantage.
- Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, overload, damage, or gain unauthorized access to our Services, servers, databases, accounts, or networks.
- Attempt to circumvent security, anti-cheat, authentication, purchase, progression, trading, or other technical restrictions.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or attempt to derive source code from the Services except where applicable law expressly permits it.
- Engage in fraud, scams, payment fraud, chargeback abuse, or other deceptive conduct.
- Use the Services for unlawful purposes.
- Impersonate another person or falsely represent your relationship with Phantoms.
- Infringe copyrights, trademarks, privacy rights, or other rights belonging to Phantoms or another person.
- Harass, threaten, abuse, or deliberately disrupt other users.
- Buy, sell, or transfer accounts, currency, items, or other game assets outside systems expressly authorized by Phantoms.
We may investigate suspected violations and take appropriate action, including warnings, removing items or currency obtained improperly, restricting features, suspending accounts, or permanently terminating accounts.
5. Cheating, Exploits and Bugs
Fair gameplay is important to Auto Tower Defense.
You must not knowingly exploit a bug, vulnerability, duplication method, economic exploit, or unintended game behavior to obtain currency, items, progression, rankings, or another advantage.
Discovery of a bug does not give you permission to exploit it.
We may correct game data affected by bugs, cheating, exploits, technical errors, or unauthorized activity. This may include adjusting or removing improperly obtained items, currency, rankings, progression, or other account data.
6. Ownership and Intellectual Property
Auto Tower Defense and the Services, including their software, source and object code, artwork, graphics, characters, enemies, items, weapons, music, sound effects, interfaces, designs, text, logos, trademarks, game mechanics to the extent protected by law, and other content are owned by or licensed to Phantoms and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Your use of the Services does not transfer ownership of the Services or their content to you.
Subject to these Terms, Phantoms grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for personal entertainment purposes.
You may not reproduce, distribute, sell, commercially exploit, or create unauthorized derivative works from protected Phantoms content except with our permission or as otherwise permitted by law.
7. Virtual Currency and Virtual Items
Auto Tower Defense may contain virtual currencies, equipment, cosmetics, consumables, tickets, materials, upgrades, subscriptions, entitlements, or other digital content (“Virtual Items”).
Virtual Items are licensed to you for use within the Services. They are not legal tender and do not represent money, stored monetary value, or ownership of physical or digital property independent of the Services.
Except where expressly permitted by Phantoms, Virtual Items cannot be redeemed for real-world money or value.
We may establish limits governing the acquisition, storage, use, trade, or transfer of Virtual Items.
Game balancing, updates, technical changes, or other changes to the Services may alter the characteristics, availability, usefulness, rarity, or value within the game of Virtual Items.
Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot legally be excluded under applicable consumer-protection law.
8. Purchases
Some Virtual Items, subscriptions, currencies, or other content may be available for purchase with real money.
Prices and available products may change.
Purchases made through third-party platforms or payment providers may also be governed by that provider’s terms and refund policies.
Payments may be processed by third parties rather than directly by Phantoms.
You are responsible for ensuring that you are using the correct account when making a purchase.
Refund eligibility is subject to applicable law and, where relevant, the rules and policies of the platform or payment provider through which the purchase was made.
Nothing in these Terms removes any refund, cancellation, warranty, or consumer rights that applicable law gives you.
9. Subscriptions
Auto Tower Defense may offer optional paid subscriptions.
The price, billing period, benefits, renewal terms, and cancellation method applicable to a subscription will be presented when the subscription is offered or purchased.
Where a subscription automatically renews, you may cancel future renewal through the platform or payment provider through which you subscribed, subject to its applicable procedures.
Cancellation generally prevents future renewal and does not necessarily result in a refund for an already-paid subscription period, except where required by applicable law or the applicable payment provider’s policies.
10. Trading and Auction House
Auto Tower Defense may permit players to trade eligible Virtual Items through an authorized in-game or web-based trading or Auction House system.
Only items designated by Phantoms as tradable may be traded.
Phantoms may establish restrictions such as listing limits, transaction fees, eligibility requirements, minimum account requirements, subscription requirements, cooldown periods, or other trading rules.
You may not use trading systems to conduct real-money trading, launder improperly obtained Virtual Items, exploit pricing or technical errors, circumvent account restrictions, or engage in fraudulent transactions.
Phantoms may reverse, cancel, restrict, or investigate transactions involving fraud, cheating, exploits, technical errors, compromised accounts, or violations of these Terms.
11. Early Access, Testing and Progress Resets
Auto Tower Defense may be released or operated in Early Access, beta, testing, preview, or other pre-release states.
During these periods, the game may contain bugs, incomplete features, balance changes, temporary systems, and other issues expected during active development.
Game progression and game data may be changed or reset as part of development.
If Phantoms announces that particular purchased content or entitlements will survive a progression reset, those items will be handled according to the applicable announcement or purchase terms.
Looted, earned, or otherwise non-protected progression and Virtual Items may be reset during Early Access or testing.
Specific reset policies communicated within the game, on the Auto Tower Defense website, or at the time of purchase may supplement these Terms.
12. Updates and Changes to the Game
Auto Tower Defense is an evolving online game.
We may add, remove, rebalance, modify, replace, or discontinue features, stages, enemies, equipment, Virtual Items, currencies, game modes, progression systems, trading systems, rewards, or other content.
We may also perform maintenance, deploy updates, fix bugs, modify game balance, or temporarily disable features.
We do not guarantee that any particular feature or item will remain available indefinitely.
13. Account Suspension and Termination
We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to an account when reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect users or the Services, address fraud or security concerns, comply with law, or respond to serious or repeated violations.
Depending on the circumstances, enforcement may include removing improperly obtained currency, items, rankings, or progression.
Termination or suspension may result in loss of access to game progression and Virtual Items associated with the account, subject to applicable law.
You may request deletion of your account according to the account-deletion procedures provided through our Services or website.
14. Service Availability
Auto Tower Defense is an online service and may occasionally be unavailable.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Interruptions may occur because of maintenance, updates, outages, security incidents, third-party service failures, technical problems, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
We may temporarily or permanently change, suspend, or discontinue portions of the Services.
Where required by applicable law, this section does not limit rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.
15. Third-Party Services
The Services may interact with third-party platforms, storefronts, authentication providers, payment processors, hosting providers, social networks, or other services.
Those services may have their own terms and privacy policies.
Phantoms does not control third-party services and is not responsible for their independent actions, availability, policies, or content except to the extent responsibility cannot be excluded under applicable law.
16. User Content
Certain Services may allow users to create usernames, profiles, listings, messages, or other content (“User Content”).
You remain responsible for your User Content and must have the necessary rights to submit it.
You grant Phantoms a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, modify as technically necessary, and otherwise use User Content to operate, provide, moderate, improve, and promote the Services, subject to applicable law and our Privacy Policy.
We may remove or restrict User Content that violates these Terms or applicable law.
17. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal information is addressed in our Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy should be read together with these Terms.
18. Disclaimers
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
Although we work to maintain and improve the Services, we do not guarantee that they will always be uninterrupted, completely secure, error-free, or compatible with every device or configuration.
Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, guarantees, or other rights that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.
19. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Phantoms will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar losses arising from your use of or inability to use the Services where such liability may lawfully be excluded.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be prohibited by applicable law.
Your statutory consumer rights are not affected by these Terms.
20. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Phantoms from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs resulting from your unlawful use of the Services, your material violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights.
This provision does not apply to the extent a claim or loss was caused by Phantoms or where such an obligation cannot legally be imposed.
21. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms as the Services evolve or as necessary for legal, regulatory, security, or operational reasons.
The current version will be made available through our website or Services with an updated “Last Updated” date.
Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before materially revised Terms take effect.
Continuing to use the Services after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those Terms where permitted by applicable law.
22. Governing Law
These Terms and your relationship with Phantoms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Nothing in these Terms prevents you from relying on mandatory consumer protections or other rights provided by the laws applicable to you.
23. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable where possible.
If it cannot be made enforceable, it will be severed without affecting the remaining provisions.
24. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly applicable to a particular feature, purchase, or service, constitute the agreement between you and Phantoms concerning your use of the Services.
