**Contact:** admin@retroslang.us
Welcome to retroslang.us. These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of our website, our online store, and our browser game *RetroSlang: The Artifacts* (together, the "Services"), all operated by RetroSlang, LLC ("RetroSlang," "we," "us"). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
## 1. The Store
**Orders.** All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. We may cancel or refuse any order, including for pricing errors, in which case you will be refunded in full. Prices are in U.S. dollars and may change at any time.
**Shipping.** Estimated shipping times are provided at checkout and are not guaranteed. Risk of loss passes to you upon delivery to the carrier. [Insert your shipping regions, e.g., "We currently ship within the United States."]
**Returns & Exchanges.** [Insert your policy — for example: "Unworn, unwashed items may be returned within 14 days of delivery for a refund or exchange. Buyer pays return shipping. Contact admin@retroslang.us to start a return."]
## 2. The Game
*RetroSlang: The Artifacts* is provided free of charge for your personal, non-commercial entertainment. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to play it through our website. You agree not to copy, modify, distribute, decompile, or create derivative works from the game; not to use bots, scripts, exploits, or falsified run codes; and not to interfere with the leaderboard, submission system, or other players. We may remove any submission, suspend leaderboard access, or disqualify entries at our discretion to keep the competition fair.
## 3. The Weekly Drop (Contest Rules)
**How it works.** Each week, the verified run of *RetroSlang: The Artifacts* with the fastest completion time (fewest lives used as tiebreaker) submitted through the in-game Drop List wins a QR code granting access to an exclusive RetroSlang merchandise drop.
**Eligibility.** Open to players 13 years of age or older. Employees of RetroSlang, LLC and their immediate family members are not eligible. Void where prohibited by law.
**No purchase necessary.** Playing the game and entering the weekly contest is free. A purchase does not improve your chances of winning.
**Entry and verification.** Entries are submitted through the in-game form (player name, email, and run statistics). Run codes are used to verify entries; runs that cannot be verified, appear falsified, or violate Section 2 will be disqualified.
**Winner selection and notification.** The weekly period runs [insert: e.g., "Monday 12:00 AM to Sunday 11:59 PM ET"]. The winner is determined by the verified leaderboard standings at the close of each period and will be notified at the submitted email address within [e.g., 7] days. If a winner does not respond within [e.g., 7] days of notification, the prize may be forfeited and awarded to the next eligible entrant.
**Prize.** One (1) QR code per weekly period granting access to an exclusive merchandise drop. The prize has no cash value, is non-transferable, and may not be substituted, except by us if a drop becomes unavailable. Any taxes are the winner's responsibility. Purchases made through the drop, if any, are separate transactions governed by Section 1.
**Sponsor.** RetroSlang, LLC, Miami, Florida.
