Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "Player," or "you") and Maple Mortar Index ("Maple Mortar Index," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of our web portal located at canadamortar.com (the "Website," "Service," or "Platform").

By navigating, browsing, bookmarking, or accessing any section of canadamortar.com, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to all provisions contained herein, you must immediately discontinue your use of the Service.

2. Nature of the Service (100% Free-to-Play Directory)

Maple Mortar Index operates exclusively as an independent editorial directory, news publication, and technical benchmark platform evaluating open-access Free-to-Play (F2P) browser games, WebGL graphics applications, and HTML5 sandbox software.

Every title indexed, reviewed, or linked on this Website is accessible without charge. We do not provide, operate, or facilitate any corporate transactions, financial speculation, or financial trophy tournaments. The titles referenced on this Platform exist solely for recreational, educational, and software-evaluation purposes.

3. Third-Party Games and External Content

Our directory includes outbound links to third-party game publishers, developers, and hosting portals (such as Gameforge, CrazyGames, Poki, and Artix Entertainment). While Maple Mortar Index reviews third-party games for sandbox stability, malware isolation, and performance standards, we do not own, operate, or control the servers hosting these independent external releases.

When you follow an outbound link to play a featured title, your interaction with that title is subject to the terms and privacy practices of the respective external publisher. Maple Mortar Index assumes no liability or responsibility for third-party server uptime, developer updates, or publisher modifications.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

All original editorial text, benchmark analyses, site branding, custom styling, logos, and UI designs displayed on canadamortar.com are the exclusive intellectual property of Maple Mortar Index and are protected under Canadian copyright laws, trademark legislation, and international conventions.

All trademarks, product names, logos, and game artwork referenced in our directory belong to their respective copyright holders. Their inclusion on Maple Mortar Index constitutes fair nominative use for comparative, critical, and editorial evaluation purposes.

5. Permitted and Prohibited Conduct

You agree to use Maple Mortar Index solely for lawful, recreational purposes. You agree not to:

• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or impair the proper working of the Platform via denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, script injections, or scraping bots;
• Circumvent or tamper with any security measures, rate-limiting rules, or access control headers implemented on the Website;
• Misrepresent your identity or submit fraudulent communications via our contact dispatch desk;
• Reproduce, scrape, or syndicate our editorial articles and technical benchmark data without prior written authorization from Maple Mortar Index.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

MAPLE MORTAR INDEX DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS IN THIRD-PARTY BROWSER SOFTWARE OR GRAPHICS DRIVERS WILL BE CORRECTED.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL MAPLE MORTAR INDEX, ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM.

8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service and any disputes arising out of or related to your use of the Website shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
