General Terms and Conditions of Use

Version 1.0 · Last updated: 24 August 2026

1. Scope and operator

These General Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”) govern the use of the “Darts Tycoon” website and web app, available at darts-tycoon.com, including its gameplay, communication and community features.

The operator and contracting party is:
Sönke Schlemmer
Querumer Str. 48
38104 Braunschweig
Germany
Email: kontakt@darts-tycoon.com

2. Service and formation of contract

Darts Tycoon is a generally free browser-based darts management and simulation game for entertainment purposes. Users can, in particular, develop and train a virtual player, travel, acquire virtual equipment, participate in simulated matches, leagues, tournaments and betting, use rankings and communicate with other users through community features.

The user agreement is formed when the user submits the completed registration form, accepts these Terms and the operator creates the account. The email address must subsequently be verified using the confirmation link. There is no entitlement to registration or activation. The contract language is based on the language version selected during registration.

3. Minors

Persons under the age of seven may not create an account. Minors require the consent of their legal representatives for registration and use where the user agreement is not solely legally beneficial to them. By registering, a minor confirms that this consent has been obtained. The operator may request appropriate evidence where there are reasonable doubts.

4. Account and credentials

  • Registration details must be accurate, complete and kept up to date.
  • Usernames and profile information must not infringe third-party rights or contain prohibited content.
  • Each person may generally operate only one account unless the operator expressly permits an exception.
  • Credentials must be kept confidential. Accounts may not be sold, transferred or permanently provided to third parties.
  • Suspected account misuse must be reported to the operator without undue delay.

Users are responsible for third-party use only to the extent that they are at fault. The operator may take temporary protective measures where there is a reasonable security concern.

5. Game rules and fair play

The following are prohibited in particular:

  • cheats, bots, automated scripts, macros or other unauthorised tools;
  • exploiting or concealing obvious errors for one's own or another person's benefit;
  • manipulating game states, results, rankings, finances, time processes or server communication;
  • multiple accounts, account sharing or collusion that distorts competitions or virtual betting markets;
  • attacks on the security, availability or technical infrastructure of the service;
  • using the service for unlawful or commercial purposes without prior permission.

Additional participation and game rules displayed within the service apply to the relevant feature unless they conflict with these Terms.

6. Virtual values, shop and simulated betting

All balances, stakes, winnings, prize money, salaries, costs and items shown in the game with a euro symbol or another currency designation are virtual game values only. They are not real money, electronic money, cryptocurrency or another asset. They cannot be deposited, withdrawn, sold, transferred outside the game or exchanged for money or goods.

The shop and betting feature are parts of the game simulation. There is no gambling for real money or prizes of monetary value. Virtual values may arise through gameplay and may be used, changed or removed under the game rules. There is no entitlement to a particular virtual value or permanent game balance. Mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.

If paid services are introduced in the future, the price, scope, term, payment terms and any applicable withdrawal rights will be communicated separately and transparently before the relevant contract is concluded.

7. User content and communication

Depending on the available features, users may submit social posts, messages, club chat posts, usernames and other content. Users remain responsible for their content and must hold the necessary rights. The following are prohibited in particular:

  • insults, threats, harassment, hate speech, bullying or discriminatory content;
  • criminal, harmful-to-minors, pornographic, glorification-of-violence or inciting content;
  • publishing third-party personal or confidential data without a legal basis;
  • content infringing copyright, trade marks, personality rights or other third-party rights;
  • spam, chain messages, misleading advertising, malware, phishing or fraudulent content;
  • circumventing restrictions or deliberately disrupting community features.

To the extent required to provide the relevant feature, the user grants the operator, for the storage period, a non-exclusive, royalty-free right limited to operating Darts Tycoon to technically store and reproduce the content and display it to recipients selected by the user. No further use will take place without a separate legal basis.

8. Reporting illegal content

Content believed to be illegal may be reported electronically to kontakt@darts-tycoon.com. The notice should contain:

  • a reasoned explanation of why the content is considered illegal;
  • a direct link, content ID or sufficiently precise information on its location;
  • the reporting person's name and email address unless a statutory exception applies;
  • a statement that the information is complete and accurate to the best of the reporting person's knowledge.

The operator acknowledges receipt, processes sufficiently precise notices in a timely, diligent, objective and proportionate manner and informs the parties of the decision to the extent required by law.

9. Moderation and enforcement

The operator is not required to generally monitor all user content in advance. In the event of a breach of law, these Terms or applicable game rules, the operator may, taking into account the nature, severity, frequency and fault involved:

  • remove content or restrict its visibility;
  • correct virtual advantages obtained through a violation;
  • temporarily restrict features or communication options;
  • issue a warning or temporarily or permanently suspend an account;
  • terminate the user agreement for cause.

Affected users generally receive a comprehensible statement of reasons identifying the relevant violation and available complaint option. Prior consultation or detailed reasons may be omitted where permitted by law and required to protect an investigation, other users or service security. Moderation decisions can be challenged free of charge by emailing kontakt@darts-tycoon.com. Complaints will not be decided solely by automated means.

10. Rights in the service

The software, databases, the specific implementation of game mechanics, texts, graphics, logos and other operator-provided content are legally protected. For the contract term, users receive a non-transferable, non-exclusive right to use the service as intended for private purposes. Reproduction, publication, modification, reverse engineering or other exploitation is permitted only to the extent allowed by law or with prior consent.

11. Availability and development

The operator endeavours to provide a stable and secure service. Continuous and completely error-free availability cannot be guaranteed, in particular due to maintenance, security measures, force majeure or disruption beyond the operator's control. Planned material restrictions will be announced in advance where possible.

Darts Tycoon may be developed and reasonably modified for objective reasons, in particular to correct errors, maintain IT security, comply with the law, improve usability or preserve fair game balance. Material adverse changes will be communicated in good time and in an appropriate form. Statutory rights relating to digital products remain unaffected.

12. Term, termination and discontinuation

The user agreement runs for an indefinite period. Users may terminate it at any time without notice through the account deletion feature offered in the profile. The operator may ordinarily terminate the agreement with four weeks' notice. Both parties' right to terminate for cause remains unaffected.

The operator may discontinue the service for an objective reason. Where possible, users will be informed at least four weeks in advance. Upon termination, access to the account ends and virtual values and items expire without payment. Personal data, user content and historical game results are deleted or anonymised in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

13. Liability

The operator has unlimited liability for intent and gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and within the scope of an expressly assumed guarantee.

For a slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation, liability is limited to the foreseeable loss typical for the contract at the time it was formed. Material obligations are those whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible and on which users may regularly rely. Liability for other cases of slight negligence is excluded. Mandatory statutory liability remains unaffected.

The operator is liable for third-party user content in accordance with the law. Upon obtaining knowledge of specific illegal content, the operator will take the measures required by law.

14. Privacy

Information about the processing of personal data, cookies and data subject rights is provided in the Privacy Policy. Acceptance of these Terms is not consent to optional data processing or advertising.

15. Changes to these Terms

The operator may amend these Terms where there is an objective reason, in particular a change in law, new or modified features, security requirements or the need to close a regulatory gap, and where the change is reasonable for users after considering both parties' interests. The essential nature of the agreement may not subsequently be changed to the user's detriment.

Material changes will be communicated in good time. Express consent will be obtained where required by law or the importance of the change. Merely editorial or exclusively beneficial changes may take effect upon publication. If continuation without a rejected change is unreasonable, the operator may ordinarily terminate the agreement; mandatory rights remain unaffected.

16. Consumer dispute resolution

The operator is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body. Irrespective of this, users may first contact kontakt@darts-tycoon.com at any time.

17. Governing law and final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country of their habitual residence. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

If an individual provision is or becomes invalid in whole or in part, the remaining provisions remain effective. The statutory rules apply in place of the invalid provision.
