These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Human Expenditure Program fan site located at humanexpenditureprogram.art and the embedded game experience (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use immediately.
1. Site Purpose and Eligibility
The Services provide narrative context and a browser-based build of the Human Expenditure Program game. The content explores mature psychological themes and is intended for audiences aged 16 and older. If you are under the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must review these Terms with a parent or guardian who agrees to be bound by them on your behalf.
2. Fan-Run Experience
The site is an unofficial fan project. It is not endorsed by or affiliated with itch.io or any third-party publisher. All trademarks, artwork, and character names remain the property of their respective owners. Use of those marks is for descriptive purposes only.
3. Permitted Use
- Use the Services for personal, non-commercial enjoyment and discussion of the game.
- Do not attempt to disrupt or compromise the site's security, hosting environment, or the embedded game.
- Avoid scraping, automated access, reverse engineering, or redistribution of the site's content without prior permission.
- Engage respectfully with the community and refrain from abusive, harassing, or harmful behavior.
4. Third-Party Services
The Services include links to and embedded content from third parties, including itch.io and jsDelivr. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their availability, performance, or data practices. Launching the embedded game binds you to itch.io's Terms of Service and related agreements.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or the accuracy and completeness of content. Your use of the Services is at your sole risk.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, goodwill, or profits arising from your use of the Services. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Services will not exceed the amount you paid to use the Services (which is currently zero).
7. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the site maintainers from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms or misuse of the Services.
8. Changes to the Services
We may modify or discontinue any part of the Services at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
9. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where the site maintainers reside, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Where required by local law, you may have additional rights that cannot be waived.
