Terms of Service

(HEREINAFTER THE "TERMS") OF THE ISLAND HOPPERS PROJECT (HEREINAFTER THE "PROJECT").

(Version dated 31 August 2026)

1. INTRODUCTION AND ACCEPTANCE

Thank you for your interest in Island Hoppers (the "Project"). The Project is a product and/or service of NEXTERS GLOBAL LIMITED ("NEXTERS," "we," "us," "our"), intended to provide a secure and engaging gaming experience (the "Services").

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE GAME OR ANY RELATED SERVICES OF THE PROJECT. YOUR USE OF THE PROJECT AND ANY SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH THE PROJECT IS SUBJECT TO THESE TERMS. YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS PRESENTED BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE PROJECT IN ANY WAY OR FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER.

The Project and the Services may be made available through supported mobile applications, supported browser-based or web-based versions, related websites, account-linking and authentication flows, customer support channels, and any other features, content, or environments that we make available from time to time. Unless we expressly state otherwise, references in these Terms to the "Project" and the "Services" include all such versions, channels, and related functionality.

Age and Legal Capacity: If applicable law requires parental or guardian authorisation for your use of the Project, or you otherwise lack legal capacity to accept these Terms, you may use the Project only with that authorisation and supervision. Parents or guardians should review these Terms and our Privacy Policy before permitting use.
Legal Eligibility: You represent and warrant that you are not prohibited from receiving Services under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction (e.g., due to export controls or sanctions), and that you comply with all relevant trade or economic sanctions. You may not use the Project if you are a person or entity under any embargo, trade restriction, or regulation prohibiting your use of our Services.
Compliance With Third-Party Platforms: If you access the Project through a social network or another third-party platform, your use may also be subject to that platform's terms of service. Its privacy policy explains how that provider processes personal data.
Browser Version and Cross-Platform Access: Where available, you may access the Project across supported mobile and browser/web environments using the same Account or linked credentials. Different versions may have different features, offers, payment options, availability, compatibility requirements, or legal notices, and some functionality may depend on browser settings, cookies, local storage, network conditions, region, or the rules of relevant third-party platforms or payment providers.
Public or Shared Devices: If you use the browser-based or web version on a shared or public device, you are responsible for logging out, ending any remembered-browser access, and otherwise protecting your Account and session.

Your privacy is critically important to us. Our current Privacy Policy (the "Policy") explains how we collect, process, store, and protect your personal data. The Policy is an information notice and does not form part of these Terms or constitute your consent to personal data processing. Where consent or another separate privacy choice is required, it will be requested separately and may be withdrawn or changed through the applicable controls.

If you access the browser-based or web version or related websites, an applicable Cookie Policy or other notice regarding cookies or similar technologies may also apply to your use of those features, where required by applicable law.

We may modify these Terms where reasonably necessary to reflect legal, security, technical, operational, Project, or business changes. We will post updated versions at or near the same link or location where you originally accessed them. If an update materially and adversely affects you, we will provide reasonable advance notice and any right to terminate or other remedy required by applicable law. Continued use constitutes acceptance only where that method is legally effective; where affirmative acceptance is required, we will provide a separate mechanism.

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

All intellectual property rights in or related to the Project—such as artwork, graphics, characters, storylines, software, code, user accounts, virtual assets, sound recordings, animation, themes, and concepts—are owned by or licensed to NEXTERS. Your use of the Project does not transfer or grant you any ownership interest or rights to these assets except for the limited licence rights expressly stated in these Terms.

Subject to your strict compliance with these Terms, NEXTERS grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, personal, and limited right to access and use the Project solely for your private, non-commercial purposes.

All user accounts ("Accounts") remain owned or controlled by NEXTERS or the entity lawfully operating the Project. You may not sell, transfer, gift, or otherwise assign your Account to any third party. Any such attempt is void and may result in suspension or termination of your Account.

Where supported, we may offer browser or web access to the Project, including login or account-linking methods such as QR codes, approvals from a mobile application, one-time verification flows, remembered-browser access, or similar authentication methods. You are responsible for keeping your Account credentials, QR codes, approval prompts, login confirmations, devices, browser sessions, and any remembered-browser access secure, and for all activity conducted through them.

Where supported, we may synchronise your Account, game progress, settings, history, rankings, social or guild data, purchased entitlements, and other Project-related data across supported versions of the Project. Synchronisation may not be immediate and may be delayed, limited, unavailable, or different between versions for technical, security, legal, regional, platform, payment, browser, or test- environment reasons. Simultaneous or repeated access to the same Account from multiple devices, browsers, or versions may be restricted and may cause one or more sessions to terminate, restart, or fail to synchronise, and we are not responsible for any resulting interruption, desynchronisation, or loss of unsaved activity except as required by applicable law.

3. INTRA-PROJECT VALUES AND VIRTUAL ITEMS

Intra-Project Values refer to in-game currencies or point systems that can be acquired or earned within the Project.
Virtual Items refer to digital objects, enhancements, or functionalities available within the Project (e.g., skins, power-ups, characters, etc.).

If the Project offers you the ability to purchase or earn Intra-Project Values and/or Virtual Items, NEXTERS grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited licence to use them solely within the Project and for personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.

Neither Intra-Project Values nor Virtual Items represent or confer any real-world currency or property rights. They cannot be exchanged for real money or any monetary equivalent, except as required by applicable law.

The price, billing period, and other terms for Intra-Project Values or Virtual Items will be disclosed within the Project before you complete a purchase. By proceeding with a purchase, you agree to the disclosed terms, including any applicable taxes or fees.

NEXTERS may adjust the value, cost, or availability of Intra-Project Values and Virtual Items for valid technical, legal, economic, security, or gameplay reasons, subject to applicable law. Any mandatory notice, termination, refund, or other consumer rights remain unaffected.

Purchases may be processed by us, the relevant app store, platform provider, payment intermediary, or other authorised payment provider, depending on the version of the Project or the purchase method you use. Prices, currencies, taxes, billing methods, availability of offers, bonuses, subscriptions, passes, bundles, or promotions, and other commercial terms may vary by platform, region, browser, version, device, payment provider, or test environment. Your purchase may also be subject to the terms, policies, and technical limitations of the relevant platform provider or payment intermediary.

Subject to applicable law and any technical or contractual limitations of the relevant platform or payment provider, purchased or earned Intra-Project Values, Virtual Items, subscriptions, passes, bundles, or other digital content may be made available for use across supported versions of the Project. However, some purchases, balances, currencies, items, benefits, or promotional content may be limited to the platform, storefront, territory, browser, version, test environment, or account through which they were obtained, and may not be transferable, redeemable, refundable, or visible elsewhere unless we expressly state otherwise.

4. REFUND POLICY

All purchases of Intra-Project Values and Virtual Items are generally final and non-refundable, except where required by applicable law or by the policies of the platform on which you made the purchase.

We may, under certain circumstances and within our sole discretion, issue refunds. For instance, we may offer a refund where all of the following conditions are met: (a) the request is made within 48 hours of payment, (b) the purchased items have not been used, and (c) the purchase did not provide any competitive advantage or materially affect other users.

If you reside in a European Union member state, you may have statutory withdrawal rights. Where immediate supply of digital content affects such a right, any express prior consent and acknowledgement required by applicable law will be requested during the purchase flow. Any confirmation required by applicable law will be provided on a durable medium. Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory withdrawal or consumer rights.

To request a refund, contact our customer support at support@nexters.zendesk.com. Refund requests will be considered under these Terms, applicable law, and any relevant payment processor or platform policies. Nothing in this Section limits a mandatory refund or consumer right.

If your purchase was made through a third-party platform or payment provider, you may need to submit your refund or billing request directly through that platform or provider, and their terms and technical processes may apply. If a payment is reversed, refunded, charged back, disputed, found fraudulent, or otherwise cancelled, we may suspend or terminate the relevant Account or access to affected content, reverse associated benefits, or require alternative payment before restoring access, subject to applicable law and relevant platform rules.

5. COMMUNITY RULES AND USER CONTENT

Our community rules aim to ensure a fair, positive, and welcoming environment for all users. You agree to refrain from harassing, threatening, or engaging in any offensive behaviour toward other users. This includes but is not limited to:

Using abusive, discriminatory, or obscene language.
Encouraging hateful or harmful conduct.
Disclosing others' personal data without consent.
Flooding or spamming chats or forums with repeated messages.

You must not:

Use cheats, bots, or unauthorised third-party software that alters game functionality.
Exploit Project bugs, glitches, or vulnerabilities.
Buy or sell Intra-Project Values and Virtual Items through unauthorised channels.
Share, sell, or trade Accounts.
Upload or distribute materials that violate any laws or infringe third-party intellectual property rights.
Intercept, scrape, automate, harvest, emulate, or otherwise misuse the browser-based or web version, any login flow, QR code, authentication approval, session token, cookie, local storage element, or other access-control, anti-fraud, or security mechanism of the Project.

When you post or transmit content (e.g., chat, images, videos, or other materials) within the Project ("User Content"), you grant NEXTERS a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence (with the right to sublicense) to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, display and perform such content for purposes of operating or improving the Project. This licence does not extend the retention or processing of personal data beyond what the Privacy Policy and applicable law permit.

Violations of these Community Rules or any part of these Terms may result in warnings, temporary or permanent suspensions, revocation of Intra-Project Values, deletion of Virtual Items, and/or Account termination. Repeated or severe violations may result in stronger penalties.

6. ALPHA, BETA AND OTHER PRE-RELEASE TESTS

We may from time to time conduct closed or open alpha tests, beta tests, technical tests, soft launches, regional trials, feature previews, browser pilots, test servers, and other pre-release or experimental activities relating to the Project (collectively, "Pre-Release Tests"). Participation may be by invitation, automatic enrolment of eligible users, separate registration, or any other method we determine. We may decide the eligibility criteria, duration, content, availability, and rules of any Pre-Release Test at our sole discretion and may suspend, modify, or end any Pre-Release Test at any time.

Pre-Release Tests may contain incomplete, unstable, limited, or experimental content and may be subject to bugs, outages, interruptions, limited support, altered balancing or economy, region or platform limitations, separate servers, different payment options, and frequent changes. Unless we expressly state otherwise, progress, rankings, statistics, Intra-Project Values, Virtual Items, purchases, subscriptions, passes, entitlements, or other data associated with a Pre-Release Test may be reset, modified, unavailable, or not transferred to the live Project or to other versions of the Project. Participation in a Pre-Release Test does not guarantee continued access or that any feature, content, or version will be released generally.

Where permitted by applicable law, we may conduct Pre-Release Tests without obtaining separate consent where the testing forms part of the provision, security, maintenance, troubleshooting or improvement of the Project, any personal data is processed under an applicable lawful basis described in the Privacy Policy, and applicable law does not otherwise require separate consent, permission or authorisation.

If you provide us with any ideas, proposals, suggestions, feedback, bug reports, comments, screenshots, recordings, test results, or other materials relating to the Project or any Pre-Release Test, you grant NEXTERS a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works from, publish, display, perform and distribute such materials for purposes of operating, securing, supporting, testing or improving the Project, without notice, approval or compensation to you, to the extent permitted by applicable law. These rights do not extend the retention or processing of personal data beyond what the Privacy Policy and applicable law permit.

7. CHILDREN'S ONLINE PRIVACY AND SAFETY

As noted above, a child or another person who lacks full legal capacity may use the Project only with the authorisation and supervision required by applicable law. Parents and guardians should review these Terms and the Privacy Policy before permitting use.

Where the Project is directed to children under 13 in the United States, or where we have actual knowledge that personal data is collected from a child under 13, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act may require verifiable parental consent and other safeguards. If COPPA applies, we will provide the notices and obtain the verifiable parental consent required by it before collecting, using or disclosing a child's personal data, except where an applicable exception permits otherwise. Please see our Privacy Policy for information about children's data.

8. ACCOUNT SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

We reserve the right to permanently delete Accounts that have been inactive for a prolonged period, or that have been voluntarily disabled by you or disabled by us under these Terms. Where appropriate and permitted by applicable law, we will provide reasonable notice before deletion and an opportunity to take available steps to preserve the Account.

If you materially or repeatedly violate these Terms or our policies, NEXTERS may, subject to applicable law, restrict your access to the Project, revoke your licence to use Intra-Project Values or Virtual Items, and/or terminate your Account. We may act without prior notice where reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, or protection of users or the Project. Any mandatory notice, reasons, complaint, refund, or other consumer rights remain unaffected.

You may stop using the Project and request Account deletion at any time. If you choose to delete your Account, your access to the Project and any associated Intra-Project Values or Virtual Items will be permanently removed without compensation, except as required by applicable law. Account deletion does not require us to erase personal data that we must or may lawfully retain as described in the Privacy Policy.

Termination, suspension, deletion, logout, or security-related restriction of your Account may apply across all supported versions of the Project, remembered browsers, linked devices, and any related Pre-Release Tests. Upon suspension or termination, access to synchronised progress, Intra-Project Values, Virtual Items, purchases, subscriptions, passes, or other entitlements may be restricted or removed without compensation except as required by applicable law.

9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

THE PROJECT AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEXTERS DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

NEXTERS takes system and data security seriously. If you identify a security vulnerability, please report it promptly to info@nextersglobal.com. We investigate all reports thoroughly. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is entirely secure.

We do not warrant that the Project or Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses. The Project may experience downtime, maintenance periods or errors, and we do not warrant that they will always be avoided or corrected.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that the Project, any browser-based or web version, any linked mobile version, or any Pre-Release Test will be compatible with all devices, browsers, operating systems, regions, or networks, or that any progress, entitlements, purchases, balances, or features will synchronise or remain available across all versions or at all times.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEXTERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR REPUTATION) ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE PROJECT OR SERVICES.

WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF NEXTERS FOR ANY CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO NEXTERS (IF ANY) FOR THE USE OF THE PROJECT OR SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud or wilful misconduct, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Mandatory consumer rights and remedies remain unaffected.

11. DISPUTES AND GOVERNING LAW

These Terms, and any disputes arising out of or relating to them, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, without regard to conflict-of-law principles and without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections that apply in your country of habitual residence and cannot lawfully be excluded by agreement.

Subject to any mandatory right to bring a claim before another competent court, claims or disputes may be brought in the competent courts of the Republic of Cyprus. We reserve the right to seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect our interests.

If you reside in the United States, you agree that all claims will be handled on an individual basis, and you waive any right to participate in a class or representative action to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. You may opt out of this class action waiver by sending us a written notice to the contact address listed at the end of these Terms within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms. Your notice must include the title of the Project, your full name, mailing address, phone number, email address, any relevant Account ID or username, and a clear statement that you do not agree to the class action waiver. If you validly opt out, the class action waiver will not apply to you; otherwise, this waiver will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

If any provision of these Terms is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Terms, and the remaining provisions shall remain valid and enforceable.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision.

NEXTERS shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, or other force majeure events.

These Terms, together with purchase terms, community rules, promotion or contest rules, and other contractual terms expressly presented within the Project, constitute the agreement governing your use of the Project and supersede prior agreements on that subject. The Privacy Policy, any Cookie Policy, and similar notices provide information and do not constitute contractual consent merely by being referenced here.

In the event of any discrepancy between non-English translations of these Terms and the English version, the English text shall prevail.

Subject to applicable law, NEXTERS may transfer the Project and related assets, contracts, rights and obligations to an affiliate, purchaser or successor operator as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, financing, asset sale or similar transaction. A contract transfer will comply with applicable requirements and preserve mandatory consumer rights. Where required, we or the successor will notify you of the new operator or contract party, effective date, material changes and available rights. Personal data will be processed under the Privacy Policy and applicable law. Neither these Terms nor an operator-change notice is consent to optional advertising, analytics or tracking.
