Rules of the Long Slough

1. Who keeps the pond

These terms govern your use of pondpuckvillage.com ("Pondpuck Village", "we", "us"), operated by the operator of pondpuckvillage.com. Using the site means you accept them.

2. Old enough to skate

Only users aged 19 or over belong at Pondpuck Village, and by stepping onto the site you confirm that you are 19 or over.

3. Rink coins

• Every world runs on virtual coins that Bruntle hands out free of charge.
• Coins carry no monetary value; none of them counts as money, as credit or as anyone’s property.
• Coins may never be purchased, sold, withdrawn, transferred, or exchanged for money, goods, services or prizes; in-app purchases simply do not exist on this pond.
• Nothing offered on this pond is a prize with real-world value.
• Coins, levels and features can be retuned or reset whenever we decide to.

4. No money on the ice

Pondpuck Village neither offers nor promotes real-money gambling, and Bruntle hangs no links to gambling operators.

5. Your account (the shack key)

• Lacing Bench and Plowbank Ridge open only with a free account. One account per person, and no lending it out.
• Keep your password between you and the clipboard, and tell us straight away if another person has got into your account.
• Deleting the account is open to you at any hour from the account page; it takes effect immediately and is permanent.
• Bruntle may bench (suspend) any account used to disrupt the site, or any he has reason to think belongs to someone under 19.
• Coins, levels and missions are tied to the account, are never owned by you as property, and may be reset at any point.

6. Behaving on the ice

Hands off the wiring: no attempts to disrupt the site, no bots or automated tools aimed at it, no offers to swap coins, and no letting anyone under 19 at the reels.

7. When the lights go out, and liability

Bruntle offers the pond “as is”: any piece of it may change or be taken down, and if something malfunctions, every play and pay it touched is void. Liability that the law says cannot be limited is not limited here, and none of these terms reduces your statutory rights.

8. Which law covers these rules

Ontario’s provincial laws govern these terms, together with the federal laws of Canada that reach into that province.

9. Writing to the shack
