1. Agreement to Terms
Welcome to NuPalz! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the NuPalz platform, including all games, virtual companions, features, and services (collectively, the "Platform") operated by Wigley Studios LLC ("we," "our," or "us").
By using NuPalz, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Platform. It's that simple!
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of NuPalz after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
2. Eligibility & Accounts
2.1 Age Requirements
You must be at least 13 years old to create a NuPalz account and use the Platform. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
2.2 Account Responsibilities
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account
- You must provide accurate and truthful information
- You may not share your account credentials with others
- You are responsible for all activity on your account
- Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access
2.3 One Account Per Person
Each person may only have one (1) NuPalz account. Creating multiple accounts to gain unfair advantages, manipulate the economy, or circumvent bans is strictly prohibited and will result in permanent bans of all associated accounts.
Warning: Multi-accounting, botting, or exploiting bugs to gain NP, PP, or items will result in immediate account termination with no refunds.
3. Virtual Currency & Items
3.1 NuPointz (NP)
NuPointz are the primary in-game currency earned through gameplay. NP can be used to purchase items, companions, and participate in platform features. NP have no real-world monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash.
3.2 Premium Points (PP)
Premium Points are optional currency that can be purchased with real money or earned through subscriptions. PP provide access to premium features, AI companions, and special items.
PP Purchases
- All PP purchases are final
- PP cannot be refunded or transferred
- Unused PP do not expire
- PP are non-transferable between accounts
Subscriptions
- Subscriptions renew automatically
- Cancel anytime before renewal
- No refunds for partial periods
- Benefits active until period ends
3.3 Virtual Items & Companions
All virtual items, companions, and content in NuPalz are licensed to you, not sold. You have a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use them within the Platform. We may modify or remove items at any time for game balance or other reasons.
No Ownership: Virtual currency, items, and companions have no real-world value. You do not "own" them in a legal sense. They exist solely within the NuPalz ecosystem.
4. Randomized Content & Chance-Based Features
NuPalz includes entertainment features with randomized outcomes, including Premium Slots and Gacha Capsules. This section explains how these features work and your responsibilities when using them.
4.1 Nature of Randomized Features
Premium Slots and Gacha Capsules are entertainment features that use random number generation (RNG) to determine outcomes. These features:
- Award virtual items, companions, or in-game currency (NuPointz) only
- Are played using Premium Points (PP), not real money directly
- Produce outcomes with no real-world monetary value
- Cannot result in real money winnings or cash payouts
- Are designed for entertainment purposes only
Not Gambling: NuPalz randomized features are not gambling. While Premium Points may be purchased with real money, the PP itself is what is "spent" on these features—not real currency. All outcomes are virtual entertainment items that cannot be exchanged for real money, transferred outside the platform, or cashed out in any way.
4.2 How It Works
Premium Slots
- Spin for virtual Premium Points (PP) rewards
- Cost: Premium Points per spin
- Outcomes: Virtual NP amounts only
- Limited daily plays (10 free, +1 per 1 PP)
Gacha Capsules
- Open capsules for random virtual companions/items
- Cost: Premium Points per capsule
- Outcomes: Virtual companions and items only
- Rarity tiers disclosed before purchase
4.3 No Real-World Value
All items, companions, NuPointz, and other content obtained through randomized features:
- Have NO real-world monetary value
- Cannot be sold, traded, or exchanged for real money
- Cannot be withdrawn, cashed out, or redeemed for currency
- Cannot be transferred to accounts outside NuPalz
- Exist solely as digital entertainment within our platform
One-Way Economy: While you may purchase Premium Points with real money, there is no mechanism to convert PP, NP, items, or any virtual content back into real money. This is a fundamental design principle of NuPalz.
4.4 Your Responsibilities
By using Premium Slots, Gacha Capsules, or any randomized feature, you acknowledge and agree:
- You understand outcomes are random and not guaranteed
- You are participating for entertainment, not financial gain
- You will not attempt to exploit, manipulate, or reverse-engineer RNG systems
- You accept full responsibility for your spending decisions
- You are solely responsible for complying with your local laws
4.5 Geographic Restrictions & Local Law Compliance
Important: Some jurisdictions have laws regulating or prohibiting randomized content mechanics in games, even when no real-money gambling is involved. You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of NuPalz features is lawful in your jurisdiction.
By using randomized features, you represent and warrant that:
- You have verified that using such features is legal in your jurisdiction
- You are of legal age to participate in such entertainment where you reside
- You accept that Wigley Studios LLC is not responsible for your compliance with local laws
Wigley Studios LLC reserves the right to:
- Restrict or disable randomized features for users in certain countries or regions
- Implement age verification or other compliance measures
- Modify or remove features to comply with applicable regulations
- Block access from jurisdictions where such features are prohibited
4.6 Responsible Entertainment
We encourage all users to enjoy NuPalz responsibly:
- Set personal spending limits that work for your budget
- Remember that randomized features are entertainment, not investment
- Take breaks if you feel you are spending more than intended
- Contact support if you need help managing your account
If you believe you may have a problem with spending on digital entertainment, resources are available at organizations such as the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) or equivalent organizations in your country.
