These terms are the rules for playing Jutsu Clash, a game made and published by Roberto Duran, an independent developer (“we”). By playing, you agree to them. They are short on purpose. If you are young, read them with a parent or guardian.
How we handle your data is explained in the privacy policy. If you got the game from Steam, Google Play or the App Store, that store's own terms apply to your purchase and download as well.
Buying the game
Jutsu Clash is a paid game: you buy it once, from the store you get it through. It costs US$3.99 on Steam, Google Play and the App Store; each store shows the price in your currency, which can differ by country. That store takes the payment, and its refund rules apply (Steam, for example, refunds a game played for under two hours within 14 days of buying it). We never see your payment details.
Buying it gives you a personal, non-transferable right to play it for fun. The game, its ninjas, seals, jutsu, art, music, code and AI stay ours. Please don't copy, sell or redistribute the game, or pass it off as your own.
No in-game purchases
- You pay once for the game, and that's it. Nothing inside the game is sold for money.
- Coins and Jade are earned by playing and are never sold. They have no cash value and can't be exchanged for money. Skill wins duels, not spending.
Your guest account
- Offline play needs no account.
- The first time you open Play Online, the game makes a guest account for your device. It has no email or password, so keep in mind that if you lose the device or delete the game's data, the account can't be recovered.
- One account per device. Don't sell, share or take over someone else's account.
- You can delete your online account at any time in My Ninja → Settings → Delete my online account, or by email. See how to delete your account.
Fair play
Duel with your own skill. When you play online, you agree not to:
- cheat, or use bots, scripts or tools that play for you or give you an unfair edge;
- change, hack or tamper with the game, its save data or the messages it sends, to get an advantage online;
- attack, overload, probe or reverse-engineer the online server, or try to reach it other than through the game;
- exploit bugs on purpose (please tell us about them instead);
- pick a name that is rude, hateful, sexual or pretends to be someone else;
- harass, bully or threaten other players, or try to find out who they are.
Reports and blocks
You can block any player, which removes them from your friends and stops their requests and challenges. You can report a player for their name, cheating, quitting, harassment or something else. We look into reports, and we may suspend or delete an account that breaks these rules. Please only report in good faith.
Forged arts
The Forge uses the game's own small AI model, running on your device, to write new special arts. Forged arts are generated content: you may keep them and use them in the game, in duels offline and online, and share screenshots and clips of them. They are part of the game, like its other specials, so you don't own them separately and can't sell them. Every forged art follows the game's rules, which price it in Ki and check it, and the online server checks it again. An art the rules reject can't be used. Each forge is written fresh, but we can't promise that nobody will ever forge a similar art.
The online service
We work to keep online play running, but it may sometimes be down, change, or need an update of the game to keep working. We may change or end online features, giving notice in the game or on this site where we can. Offline play does not depend on the server.
No warranty
The game is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. We don't promise that it will be free of bugs or always available.
Limit of liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable losses, or for lost progress, items or data, arising from the game. If we are liable to you for anything, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the game or in-game items in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under consumer law where you live.
Changes and ending
We may update these terms as the game grows. We will post the new version here with a new effective date, and tell you in the game if a change is important. You can stop playing and delete your online account at any time. We may suspend or end online access for anyone who seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms.
