Terms of use

1. About these terms

These terms of use govern your access to and use of Free Play Ferns ("the site"), available at freeplayferns.com. By confirming your age and using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. Age requirement

The site is intended for adults aged 18 years or over. By using the site you confirm that you are at least 18. We may ask you to confirm your age before entering, and that confirmation is stored locally in your browser.

3. Free-to-play, for entertainment only

Free Play Ferns is a free social gaming hub provided purely for entertainment. All games are free to play. The site is not a real-money casino, a betting service, a gambling operator or a financial product, and it does not offer any form of real-money gambling.

4. Virtual coins and points have no value

Games use virtual coins, points and similar in-game items ("virtual items"). Virtual items are provided for fun only and:

• have no real-world or monetary value;
• cannot be purchased, sold, traded, exchanged or withdrawn;
• cannot be redeemed for money, goods or prizes of any kind;
• may be reset or lost if you clear your browser data.

5. No payments, purchases or prizes

There are no deposits, withdrawals, purchases, payouts, cash prizes or real-money jackpots anywhere on the site. We will never ask you to pay to play.

6. Browser storage

The site uses your browser's local storage to remember your age confirmation, your storage preference, and your virtual balances and game progress on your device. See our Cookie & storage policy for details.

7. Visual-only Register and Log in forms

The Register and Log in pages are visual previews only. They do not create accounts, do not authenticate anyone, and do not submit, send or store any information you type into them. No account system is active on the site, and you can play every game without registering.

8. Acceptable use

You agree to use the site lawfully and responsibly. You must not:

• use the site if you are under 18;
• attempt to disrupt, exploit, reverse-engineer or interfere with the site or its games;
• use the site in any way that is unlawful, harmful or abusive to others.

9. Outcomes and randomness

Game outcomes are generated within your browser for entertainment only. They do not represent real gambling odds, are not connected to any real-money play, and carry no real-world value. We make no guarantees about outcomes or scores.

10. Disclaimer

The site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free or available at all times.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Free Play Ferns and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you may have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or other applicable New Zealand law.

12. Responsible play

Although the site involves no real money, we encourage mindful play. If gambling is a concern for you or someone you know, please see our Responsible play page for New Zealand support services.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
