Terms of Service

VARZ TCG is operated by 株式会社VAZ (VAZ Inc.).

• 代表取締役：谷 鉄也 (Representative Director: Tetsuya Tani)
• 〒104-0061 東京都中央区銀座4-2-15 塚本素山ビル2F
• Tsukamoto Sozan Building 2F, 4-2-15 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0061, Japan

VARZ is provided for personal, non-commercial play. You may use it if you are old enough to form a binding agreement where you live.

If you are a minor, or if the law where you live otherwise requires the consent of a parent, guardian or other legal representative for you to agree to these terms or to provide personal data, you may use VARZ only with that consent. By using VARZ in those circumstances you confirm that it has been given.

Accounts are created by signing in with Discord or Google. There are no VARZ passwords, so keeping your account secure means keeping that provider account secure. You are responsible for everything done through your account.

One account per person. Do not share, sell or transfer an account, and do not create additional accounts to evade a suspension or to manipulate rankings.

You can delete your account at any time from your account page. What that removes and what is kept in de-identified form is described in the Privacy Policy.

VARZ is a competitive game with rankings. While playing, do not:

• use bots, scripts, macros or any automation to play, queue, or interact with the game server
• exploit bugs to gain an advantage, and do report serious ones instead of using them
• interfere with the game client or server, or send requests the client would not send
• arrange results, throw matches, or use additional accounts to inflate a rating — yours or anyone else’s
• deliberately abandon or stall matches to deny an opponent a result

Display names, deck names, profile text and anything else you write are visible to other players. Do not use them for harassment, hate speech, threats, sexual content involving minors, impersonation, advertising, or anything unlawful.

We may change or remove a display name or other user-submitted text that breaks these rules.

The rights you hold in the deck lists, deck names, profile text and other content you create or post on VARZ remain yours.

Card art, card names, characters, rules text, game screens and the other materials and intellectual property that VARZ provides belong to VAZ Inc. or to the respective rights holders. Nothing in this section transfers any of those rights to you.

When you publish a deck to the community, share a replay link, or otherwise set content to public, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to store, reproduce, display, distribute, transmit to the public and feature that published content, for the purposes of providing, operating and improving the service and of introducing and publicising VARZ.

That licence includes featuring published decks, replays and other content on the official VARZ website, official social media accounts, the official Discord, the newsletter, Kickstarter and other crowdfunding pages, and in videos, livestreams and other official channels we operate or use.

To feature content in those places we may take screenshots, resize, crop or re-lay out images, convert formats, translate, add explanatory captions, and make other minor edits that do not alter the substance of the content. We may also credit the display name shown at the time of publication as its creator.

If we want to use content you have published as a testimonial or endorsement in paid advertising, or as a principal asset of a paid advertisement, we will obtain your separate permission before doing so.

The licence normally lasts for as long as the content is published. If you later unpublish or delete the content, social media posts, videos, news articles and other promotional material already published may reasonably remain as they are.

Sharing a replay produces a share link. Anyone who has the link may be able to watch it, so treat a replay as something others can see once you have shared it.

A match is made by more than one player. Match history, results and other records that also concern your opponent may therefore be kept or displayed after you delete your account or unpublish your own content, with anonymisation or other appropriate handling.

上の「Your content」と同じ内容を日本語で記載しています。両言語の本文は同じ意味となるように作成しています。

お客様がVARZ上で作成または投稿したデッキ構成、デッキ名、プロフィールテキスト、その他のお客様自身が作成したコンテンツについて、お客様が有する権利はお客様に帰属します。

ただし、カードアート、カード名、キャラクター、ルールテキスト、ゲーム画面その他VARZが提供する素材および知的財産に関する権利は、当社または各権利者に帰属します。本条によって、これらの権利がお客様に移転するものではありません。

お客様がデッキをコミュニティに公開したり、リプレイのリンクを共有したり、その他のコンテンツを公開設定にした場合、お客様は当社に対し、本サービスの提供、運営、改善、およびVARZの紹介・広報を目的として、当該公開コンテンツを保存、複製、表示、配信、公衆送信、紹介するための、非独占的、無償かつ世界的な利用許諾を付与します。

この利用許諾には、VARZの公式ウェブサイト、公式SNS、公式Discord、ニュースレター、Kickstarterその他のクラウドファンディングページ、動画、配信その他当社が運営または利用する公式媒体において、公開されたデッキ、リプレイその他のコンテンツを紹介することを含みます。

当社は、これらを紹介するために必要な範囲で、スクリーンショットの作成、画像サイズの変更、トリミング、レイアウト変更、フォーマット変換、翻訳、説明文の追加その他コンテンツの本質を損なわない軽微な編集を行うことがあります。また、公開時の表示名を作者名として併記する場合があります。

当社がお客様の公開したコンテンツを、有料広告における推薦・推奨表現として使用する場合、または有料広告の主要な素材として使用する場合には、事前にお客様の個別の許可を得ます。

この利用許諾は、原則として当該コンテンツが公開されている間有効です。ただし、お客様が後にコンテンツを非公開または削除した場合でも、それ以前に公開済みのSNS投稿、動画、ニュース記事その他の広報物については、合理的な範囲でそのまま残る場合があります。

リプレイを共有すると、共有用リンクが生成されます。リンクを知っている人は誰でも視聴できる場合があるため、共有後は第三者が閲覧できるものとして扱ってください。

試合は複数のプレイヤーによって成立するため、お客様がアカウントを削除したり、自分のコンテンツを非公開にしたりした後でも、対戦履歴、試合結果その他対戦相手にも関係する記録は、匿名化その他必要な措置を行った上で保持または表示される場合があります。

We may suspend or terminate access to VARZ, remove content, or reset ratings where we reasonably believe these terms have been broken — in particular for cheating, automation, or abuse of other players. Where it is practical and appropriate we will say why.

You can stop using VARZ at any time by deleting your account.

VARZ is in active development. Features, rules, card effects and ratings may change, the service may be unavailable for maintenance, and parts of it may be altered or discontinued. Game data such as decks and ratings may be reset when balance or systems change; we will give notice where a change is significant.

VARZ relies on services operated by others — Discord and Google for sign-in, Kickstarter for the campaign, Mailchimp for the newsletter, and Tabletop Simulator for physical-style play. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and policies, and we are not responsible for them.

The VARZ name, logo, card art, characters, world, rules text, and the software that runs the game belong to VARZ TCG and its creators. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or create commercial derivatives of them except where we expressly permit it — for example the official Print & Play materials, which are for personal play.

Sharing screenshots, replays, streams and videos of your own play is welcome and encouraged.

VARZ is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that game data will never be lost.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, VARZ TCG and its creators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data, lost ratings or lost profits, arising from your use of the service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

We may update these terms as VARZ develops. The date at the top of this page reflects the current version, and we will give notice in the app or by email before a change that materially affects your rights. Continuing to use VARZ after a change means you accept it.

These terms and any dispute arising out of them or out of your use of VARZ are governed by the laws of Japan.

The parties agree to the Tokyo District Court or the Tokyo Summary Court, as the court of exclusive jurisdiction of first instance. Nothing here deprives a consumer of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which they live.

Questions about these terms can be sent to varz.tcg.official@gmail.com. Requests about personal data are handled separately — see the Privacy Policy.
