Terms of Use & Privacy Policy

These Terms of Use (the “Terms of Use”) constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you” or “user”) and the Owner of Flying Fox (“we”, “us”, or “our”) concerning your access to and use of the https://flyingfoxgame.com/ website and the Flying Fox gaming applications as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto (collectively, the “Site” and the “Games”). The Terms of Use may be, at our own rights and discretion, updated from time to time and shall immediately take effect and bind you to follow and be regulated without receiving your concerns and consents so long as you are using our Games and Site. 

WE ARE ONLY WILLING TO MAKE THE SITE AND THE GAMES AVAILABLE TO YOU IF YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS OF USE. BY USING THE SITE, THE GAMES, THE ASSOCIATING MEDIA OR ANY PART OF THEREOF, OR BY SIGNING UP WITH YOUR NAME, YOUR EMAIL, AND/OR YOUR CRYPTO WALLET, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE AND/OR ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS OF USE, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SITE, THE GAME, AND THE ASSOCIATING SERVICES THEREOF, AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE TO USE AND/ OR USING SUCH IMMEDIATELY

Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Site from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to the Terms of Use at any time and for any reason. We shall alert you of any changes by updating the “Last Updated” date of the Terms of Use, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review the Terms of Use to stay informed of updates. You shall be subject to and shall be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Terms of Use by your continued use of the Site or the Games after the date such revised Terms of Use are posted on the Site or in the Games. The information on the Site is not intended for distribution to or used by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to the law or regulation thereof or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Site and/or the Games from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. The Metaverse Game is intended for individual users who have full legal capacities and are at least 18 years old and have reached the age of majority provided for the applicable laws of relevant jurisdictions. People under the age of 18 or the applicable age of majority are not permitted to use or register for the Metaverse Game.

Formation of Business

The games are managed by two companies formerly known as:

  • Flying Fox Gaming Studio (ie. Flying Fox Game Limited) and Sam Peng Way Limited (Parent Company).
  • Sam Pen Way Limited has the registered address of 12 Constance Street, London, E16 2DQ.
  • Flying Fox Game Limited has the registered address of International House 45-55 Commercial Street London E1 6BD.

It is important to note that Sam Peng Way Limited is responsible for all versions of the introductory free-to-play Flying Fox Game, age-appropriate for those of 8 years upwards.

Flying Fox Gaming Studio is responsible for all Blockchain components, including the Flying Fox: Endangered World metaverse (henceforth referred to as “the metaverse”), available to those 18 years upwards.

Blockchain & NFT’S

The metaverse is a distributed application that is currently running on Polygon (the “Polygon network”), which is built on top of Ethereum (the “Ethereum network”) (the Polygon and Ethereum networks are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Blockchains”). The metaverse uses smart contracts (each, a “Contract”) to enable users to own Governance Tokens and Non-Fungible Tokens. The Game also enables users to own and transfer other digital assets including but not limited to plots of Land and other Products as updated from time to time by our policies (the “Assets”). These Assets can then be visualised on the Site so that the user can interact with the Site. Using the Site, users can view their Assets and use them to acquire, trade, and move through all 8 levels of the games.

10. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

You accept and acknowledge each of the following:

Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your Products, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any purchasers of the Products shall not lose money.

B. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your Product-related transactions. We are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the Site, the Games, or the Contracts.

C. The Site does not store, send, or receive Products. This is because Products exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the Games’ supporting Blockchains. Any transfer of Product occurs only on The Blockchains.

D. There are risks associated with using an Internet-based currency, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorised access to information stored within your wallet. You accept and acknowledge that we shall not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using The Blockchains, however caused.

E. A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of the Site and Games’ ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of the Products.

F. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Games’ ecosystems, and therefore the potential utility or value of Products and cryptocurrencies related (if any).

G. Upgrades of the Site and/or the Games by us may have unintended, adverse effects on all assets in the Games.

11. INDEMNIFICATION
