RUSTCAN — Terms & Policies

Last updated: 2026 · Please read before you play.

RUSTCAN is operated by RustCan LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company. Throughout this document, "RustCan LLC," "we," "us," "our," and "the developer" all refer to RustCan LLC.

1 · AGE REQUIREMENT (18+)

RUSTCAN is intended solely for adults aged 18 or older. By using it you represent and warrant that you are at least 18. We do not knowingly permit anyone under 18 to use the service, create an account, chat, use voice, or access any cryptocurrency feature. If we learn a user is under 18, we will terminate access and delete associated data. If you believe a minor is using the service, contact us.

2 · BETA / "AS IS" — NO WARRANTY

This is an unfinished beta. It may contain bugs, balance issues, and incomplete features. Progress, characters, cosmetics, ranks, and purchases may be reset, changed, or lost at any time. The software and all content are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. You use it at your own risk.

3 · LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developers and their affiliates are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, funds, or cryptocurrency, arising from or related to the service. Our total aggregate liability, if any, will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the prior 12 months or USD $50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this may not apply to you.

4 · ORIGINAL WORK OF FICTION — NO AFFILIATION

RUSTCAN, "Hollow Pines", the Tin Man, and all characters, names, places, events, and artwork are original and entirely fictional. This game is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or associated with any film, television series, book, game, company, or other property, or any of their owners. Any resemblance to actual persons (living or dead), real places, or existing media is coincidental or intended as general homage to a genre. All third-party names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used for nominative/identification purposes only.

5 · HORROR CONTENT & PHOTOSENSITIVITY

This game contains intense horror, sudden jump-scares, loud noises, and flashing/strobing lights. A small percentage of people may experience seizures when exposed to flashing lights or patterns — if you have a history of epilepsy or seizures, consult a doctor before playing. Stop and rest if you feel dizzy, disoriented, or unwell. Player discretion is advised.

6 · COSMETIC PURCHASES — NO REAL VALUE, NON-REFUNDABLE

All in-game items and "Tin Coins" are cosmetic, account-bound licenses for personal entertainment only. They do not affect gameplay balance, have no real-world or monetary value, are not currency, investments, securities, or financial instruments, cannot be redeemed for cash, and are generally non-refundable except where a refund is required by applicable law (for example, certain statutory rights in the EU/UK). We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any item or the virtual economy at any time.

7 · CRYPTOCURRENCY & THE SELF-CUSTODY WALLET

The optional built-in wallet is self-custody / non-custodial: your private keys are generated and stored only in your browser and are never transmitted to or held by us. We cannot access, freeze, recover, or reverse your wallet, keys, or any transaction. If you lose your Recovery Key, your funds are permanently gone. Cryptocurrency is volatile and high-risk; values can go to zero. Network fees, exchange rates, and confirmation times are outside our control and all crypto transactions are irreversible. Nothing in RUSTCAN is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice; we are not a broker, exchange, money transmitter, or financial advisor. You are solely responsible for your own taxes, for complying with the laws of your jurisdiction, and for not using the wallet where prohibited. You may not use the service if you are located in, or are a national/resident of, any U.S.-sanctioned or embargoed jurisdiction, or are on any sanctions/denied-party list (e.g., OFAC). You must not use the wallet for money laundering, fraud, or any unlawful purpose. Never spend more than you can afford to lose.

8 · OPTIONAL "FAUCET" REWARDS

Any free cryptocurrency the game distributes (the in-game "faucet"/mining feature) is an optional promotional reward of nominal value, is not a lottery, sweepstakes, gambling, wager, or guaranteed payout, requires no purchase, and may be capped, throttled, changed, or withdrawn at any time without notice. Availability may be limited by region and by available funds. You are responsible for any taxes on rewards received.

9 · ACCOUNTS, CONDUCT & CHAT

You are responsible for your account and for keeping your login secure; don't share it. Online play includes other real players, text chat, and optional voice chat. You agree not to: harass, threaten, or abuse others; post hateful, sexual, illegal, or infringing content; share anyone's personal information; impersonate others; cheat, exploit, or disrupt the service; or transmit content involving minors. Chat and voice are between users — be respectful and never share personal or financial information. We may remove content, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate these terms, at our discretion and without notice.

Misuse & unlawful activity. Any attempt to misuse the service or any of its features — including the AI guide, chat, voice, the wallet, or crypto rewards — to facilitate, seek, or carry out anything illegal, or to harm, exploit, endanger, or defraud others, is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination. We record such activity and, where we believe conduct is unlawful or presents a risk of serious harm (including any content or conduct involving the sexual exploitation of minors, credible threats of violence, or terrorism), we will preserve the associated records and report them to, and cooperate with, law enforcement and other competent authorities to the fullest extent permitted by law, without further notice to you.

9A · AI GUIDE (THE GNOME & THE TIN MAN) & WEB LOOKUPS

RUSTCAN includes in-character AI-driven characters (the "Gnome" and the "Tin Man") you can talk to by text or voice. Their responses are generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date — they are provided for entertainment and general guidance only and are not professional, financial, investment, legal, medical, or safety advice. Do not rely on them for any important decision. To make the characters feel more responsive, the AI may retain a small set of harmless, non-sensitive details you volunteer in conversation (such as a first name or a stated favorite thing) to personalize later replies; it is instructed never to store sensitive information (such as passwords, financial or ID numbers, or your address), and you may erase what it has retained at any time using the "forget me" option in the chat. The AI may also perform filtered web lookups to answer factual questions; results come from third-party sources over which we have no control, are automatically filtered with strict safe-search but cannot be guaranteed accurate, complete, or free of objectionable material, and are summarized by the character rather than presented as browsable links. You agree not to use the AI or its lookups to seek, generate, or distribute illegal, harmful, sexual, exploitative, self-harm, weapon-making, or other prohibited content, or to attempt to jailbreak, deceive, or misuse it; such attempts are logged, may be flagged for staff review, and are subject to the misuse and law-enforcement provisions above.

10 · MODERATION & MONITORING

To keep the community safe and to detect cheating, abuse, or other violations, our moderators may observe live lobbies — including watching gameplay, reading chat, and listening to voice — silently, without appearing in the lobby or notifying players, and automated systems may flag conduct and apply temporary or permanent restrictions. By using online play, chat, and voice you acknowledge and consent to this monitoring.

10A · GAMEPLAY CLIP RECORDING (ON YOUR DEVICE)

RUSTCAN can record short highlight clips of your own gameplay locally on your device. These clips capture the on-screen video, the game's sound, and — only if your microphone is already unmuted during the match — your own voice. They do not capture other players' voices. Clips are created and stored only in your own browser (a limited number of recent games) and are never uploaded to, transmitted to, or accessible by us. You can delete them at any time and turn recording off in Settings. If you choose to download a clip and share or publish it anywhere (for example, YouTube, TikTok, or other social media), you alone are responsible for that content and for complying with applicable law and the rules of any platform you post to. Because online play is real-time, other players can hear your voice during a match and may independently record it on their own devices — this is outside our control.

11 · PRIVACY & DATA

To run optional accounts and online play we process limited data through third-party providers (e.g., Google Firebase for authentication, database, and hosting): your sign-in identifier/email, a username, gameplay progress, your date of birth and age-verification result, your terms-acceptance/consent record, and basic technical data (such as approximate region/IP handled by our providers). Voice chat is transmitted between players and is not recorded by us. Your wallet keys are never sent to us. We do not sell your personal data. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your data (e.g., under GDPR or CCPA) — contact us to exercise them. Third-party providers process data under their own policies.

AI guide data. When you talk to the in-game AI characters, we process the messages you send so the AI can reply, and we keep a log of these conversations for safety, moderation, and abuse-prevention. The AI may store a small set of non-sensitive personalization details you volunteer (see §9A); this is instructed to exclude sensitive data, and you can erase it at any time with the in-chat "forget me" option or by deleting your account. If you use the AI's web-lookup feature, your query is sent to a search service we operate and is logged for abuse-prevention.

12 · VOICE CHAT CONSENT

Enabling your microphone for in-game voice is optional and opt-in. By enabling it you consent to your audio being transmitted live to other players in your match. Other participants may hear you. Do not enable voice if you do not consent.

13 · DMCA / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

We respect intellectual property. If you believe content in the service infringes your copyright, send a notice with the required information (identification of the work, the material, your contact details, a good-faith statement, and your signature) to our contact below and we will respond appropriately.

14 · TERMINATION

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause or notice. You may stop using the service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive (disclaimers, liability limits, dispute terms) survive termination.

15 · DISPUTES — ARBITRATION & CLASS-ACTION WAIVER

To the extent permitted by law, any dispute relating to the service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, and you and we waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, USA, where RustCan LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. (A specific arbitration venue will be confirmed at public launch.)

16 · CHANGES & CONTACT

We may update these terms; continued use after changes means you accept them, and we may ask you to re-accept. Questions, privacy requests, DMCA notices, or to report a suspected minor: contact RustCan LLC at support@rustcan.com.

This document is provided for general information only and is NOT legal advice. It is a starting point and has not been reviewed by an attorney. Before public launch — especially because of the cryptocurrency, chat, and data features — these terms and your compliance program should be reviewed by a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction.
