Your agreement with Exicity
1. General Terms
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the access and use of the Exicity website and services. By using our website, purchasing a game, or participating in any quest, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or any services provided by Exicity.
2. Service Description
Exicity is an outdoor escape game where users purchase quest-based games. After purchase, players receive a unique code via email to access the selected game. These games are self-guided and require players to visit real-world city locations and solve puzzles inspired by physical landmarks (e.g., buildings, patterns, statues). Authentication is optional; however, without an account, game progress will not be saved.
2.1 Age Restrictions and Supervision
Exicity games are primarily recommended for participants aged 18 and over, as quests take place in urban public areas and players must navigate independently. Players aged 14 to 17 may only participate under the supervision of an adult (18+). Children under 14 may only play with parental or legal guardian accompaniment. The games do not contain dangerous tasks or locations; however, due to the open urban environment, participants must act carefully and responsibly.
3. Data Privacy
We collect and process personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For full details, please see our Privacy Policy. By using Exicity, you consent to our data collection and usage practices. If you do not agree, you must not use the services. Privacy Policy.
4. Account Usage
Creating an account is optional. If you choose to register, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and all activity under your account.
5. Purchases and Payments
All purchases are processed via trusted third-party payment providers. Exicity does not store or handle any credit card or banking data. After payment, a non-transferable access code is delivered by email. Refunds are not provided unless explicitly stated. Codes are for personal, non-commercial use only.
5.1 Ticket Activation and Duration
The game begins when participants click the "Open Your Game" button received in the email, then enter their team name and press the "Start Game" button. From this moment, the quest becomes active and a 72-hour countdown begins for completing the game. This extended timeframe allows you to complete the game on another day as well, in case a location is temporarily inaccessible due to events or other circumstances. If the website is closed during gameplay, participants can return to the game at any time by clicking the "Open Your Game" button in the email, with their progress automatically saved. However, returning is only possible within the 72-hour time frame.
5.2 Refund Policy
Tickets are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. Customers may request a refund within 14 days of purchase, as long as the ticket has not been used and the game has not been started. Once the game is started, the ticket is considered used and is no longer refundable. After 14 days from purchase, tickets are non-refundable, but they remain valid until the end of the 12-month validity period.
