1. PROVISION OF SERVICES

The Platform is a browser-accessible digital entertainment environment that offers Canadian users aged eighteen (18) and older access to free, non-monetized, socially enhanced slot-style games and features. All content is provided exclusively for lawful personal entertainment and social interaction. No monetary stakes, prizes, real-value currency exchanges, or financial transactions of any kind are facilitated, simulated, or implied by the Platform. All features operate within a purely recreational framework.

Use of the Platform is strictly limited to non-commercial purposes. Users may not resell, redistribute, or exploit Platform content or mechanics for any revenue-generating activity. The Platform may feature limited social engagement mechanics, leaderboards, and virtual rewards, but does not include account-based wagering systems, multiplayer competition for material gain, or persistent user data tracking outside of the scope disclosed in our Privacy Policy.

We may display third-party advertising in accordance with applicable Canadian legislation including the Competition Act, Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), and ad platform policies (including Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising). All advertising content is for informational purposes only. We do not endorse, review, or guarantee the accuracy or legality of any third-party offering or content accessed through external links. It is your sole responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable legal obligations when accessing the Platform or interacting with third-party services.

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

All proprietary rights, title, and interest in and to the Platform, including all games, software, source code, audio-visual content, visual elements, user interface components, design architecture, trademarks, logos, and related materials ("Platform Content") are owned by or validly licensed to Canuck Playhouse and are protected by applicable Canadian intellectual property laws and international conventions.

No ownership or licence in any trademark, service mark, logo, or branding element ("Marks") is transferred to users by virtue of access. All Marks are either proprietary to Canuck Playhouse or lawfully used under licence. Users shall not use, reproduce, modify, obscure, or exploit any such Marks without prior written authorisation.

Subject to these Terms, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited licence to access and display Platform Content solely for personal, lawful, non-commercial use. This licence does not authorise:

(a) copying, reproducing, redistributing, or republishing any Platform Content;

(b) modifying, reverse-engineering, translating, or creating derivative works;

(d) deep-linking, framing, or embedding Platform Content on external sites;

(e) conducting data scraping, crawling, or systematic content extraction.

Any breach of this licence shall constitute a material violation and may result in immediate suspension or termination of access, and potential legal recourse.

Where Platform features incorporate third-party intellectual property under licence, all such content remains the exclusive property of the respective owner. Nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted to transfer or assign any rights in such third-party content. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

3. USER ELIGIBILITY AND DECLARATIONS
