Terms of Service

Last updated: 2 August 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of this Restaurant City Reborn server (the "Service"), operated by the Restaurant City Reborn project ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to the Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. The Service

The Service is a fan-run revival of the 2010 game Restaurant City, provided for non-commercial preservation and play. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the game's original owners (Playfish / Electronic Arts). The Service may be added to, changed, or have features removed at any time.

2. Accounts

• You need an account to play: a unique username, a first and last name, and a 6–12 digit PIN. Your PIN is stored only as a salted, one-way hash — we cannot read it.
• You must provide accurate account information and keep your PIN and linked sign-in accounts secure. You are responsible for all activity on your account.
• One account per person, unless we say otherwise. Do not share accounts or let others use your credentials.
• Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

3. Acceptable use

When using the Service you must not:

• exploit bugs, glitches, or errors, or use them to gain an unfair advantage;
• automate gameplay (bots, scripts, or macros) without our permission;
• interfere with, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, its servers, or other users' data;
• evade restrictions, bans, or other enforcement measures;
• impersonate other people, the operator, or the original rights holders;
• use the Service for any unlawful purpose, or redistribute the game's content commercially.

4. Virtual items and currency

Coins, gourmet points, items, and other in-game content have no real-world monetary value. They cannot be redeemed for money and are not transferable except through normal in-game mechanics. We may correct balances, inventory, or other data to fix errors or abuse.

5. Availability and changes

The Service is provided on an "as available" basis and may be paused for maintenance. We may suspend, restrict, or end the Service, in whole or for individual users, with reasonable notice where practical. Saved data may be lost if the Service ends.

6. Enforcement

We may warn users, remove content, restrict accounts, or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms or the Community Guidelines. Serious or repeated violations may result in termination without warning. We may report unlawful activity to the relevant authorities.

7. Intellectual property

The original game, its assets, and its data remain the property of their owners (Playfish / Electronic Arts) and are used here only for preservation and personal play. This project is not affiliated with them. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive right to use the Service for personal, non-commercial play. Your own content (such as your restaurant layout) remains yours, and you grant us the right to store and display it as needed to operate the Service.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, uninterrupted operation, or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not guarantee that the Service will always work, or that it will perfectly match the original game.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, loss of data, or loss of profits arising from your use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including fraud and death or personal injury caused by negligence.

10. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. We encourage you to raise concerns with us first through the contact details below, and we will try to resolve them informally.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always available on this page with its date. If changes are material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you through the Service. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

12. Contact

You can reach the operator through the Service itself: use in-game mail to contact us from your account, or ask the server administrator through the dashboard. We will respond as soon as we reasonably can.
