Terms of Service

Last Updated: July 4, 2026

1. Description of Service

Scarlet Chains is an online, multi-player, mature gaslamp fantasy role-playing game (RPG) and simulation. The game involves:

• Explicit, raw adult interactions, texts, and dialogue.
• Themes of consensual power exchange, dominance, submission, and training of household companions.
• Base building, manor management, and recruiting specialists.
• A player-driven market ("Flesh Market") for contract trading and resource management.

2. Age, Content, and Access Affirmation

By accessing Scarlet Chains, you acknowledge and agree that:

1. Player Age Verification: You are at least 18 years old. Underage access is a material breach of these terms, resulting in immediate account termination.
2. Adult Content Confirmation: The service contains highly explicit texts, dialogue, themes, and depictions of sexual behavior.
3. All Characters Are Adults: All non-player characters (NPCs), companions, specialists, servants, and other virtual personas depicted in the game are fictional, and are designed and represented exclusively as adults (18+ years of age). Any depiction of training, service, or submission is strictly within the context of consensual adult fantasy roleplay.
4. Theme Warning: The game features mature themes including BDSM, bondage, dominance, submission, and raw adult language. If such themes cause you distress or offense, you should not play.
5. Private Access Obligation: You agree to access the game only in a private setting. You are solely responsible for ensuring that the explicit content of the game is not viewed or accessed by minors or individuals who may find it offensive.

3. Account Creation and Security

• Account Registration: You must provide accurate and complete registration information (e.g., a valid email address).
• Credentials Security: You are solely responsible for safeguarding your login credentials (username, password). You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access.
• Single Account Policy: Players are permitted one active account. Account sharing or transferring accounts to other individuals is prohibited.

4. Payments, Billing, and Virtual Items

Scarlet Chains may offer virtual items, bonuses, in-game currency, or access to special storylines/quests for purchase ("Paid Features").

1. Purchases: All payments are made in real-world currency through our authorized third-party payment processors. You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using your account.
2. Virtual Item License: When you purchase virtual items, currencies, or quests, you are buying a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use those features within the game. You do not own the virtual items or quests.
3. Payments are Final (No Refunds): All purchases of virtual items, in-game currency, or quest unlocks are final and non-refundable, except as required by applicable law or as determined in our sole discretion.
4. Price Modifications: We reserve the right to change the pricing, availability, and specifications of virtual items, quests, and services at any time without notice.

5. Virtual Economy and the Player Market

• Virtual Items: All virtual items, characters, contracts, manor upgrades, and currencies (in-game coins/credits) are virtual property and have no real-world monetary value.
• No Cash Value: Virtual assets cannot be redeemed for cash, real-world goods, or services.
• Market Rules: The in-game market is simulated and player-driven. We make no guarantees regarding market stability, asset valuation, or availability.
• RMT Prohibition: Real-Money Trading (RMT)—the buying, selling, or trading of in-game accounts, items, characters, or contracts for real-world currency or goods outside of authorized game systems—is strictly prohibited and will result in a permanent ban.

6. Code of Conduct and User Content

When interacting with other players, using public chat systems, naming characters, or participating in the community, you agree NOT to:

1. Impersonate any other person, administrator, or staff member.
2. Share real-world personal identifying information (doxxing) of other players.
3. Use automated bots, scripts, cheats, hacks, or exploits.
4. Upload, transmit, or input any content that is illegal, non-consensual, or depicts real-world harm.
