Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-05-28
These Terms of Service govern your participation in the Veins of Aldûn crowdfunding campaign and, after launch, your use of the game.
What a pledge is
A pledge funds the development of Veins of Aldûn. It is not a pre-order with a guaranteed delivery date. The campaign roadmap reflects current commitments; the developer reserves the right to adjust scope or timeline based on the realities of development, with honest disclosure to backers.
What a pledge is not
A pledge does not constitute a contract for any specific deliverable beyond what is described in the chosen backer tier. Refund availability is set out in the Refund Policy: a fourteen-day no-questions-asked window during the active campaign, and case-by-case review after funds are released to the project, alongside Paddle's standard payment terms.
Backer rewards
Backer rewards described on the campaign page will be fulfilled to the best of the developer's ability. All rewards are digital and are delivered to your account or as downloads; there is no physical fulfilment or shipping. Certain tiers carry capacity caps and may close during the campaign.
Intellectual property
Veins of Aldûn, including the game, the lore, the world of Aldûn, the Aegis Books, and all related characters and artwork, are the intellectual property of Hyper Blade. Backer contributions to canon (such as named locations, written documents, or renamed legendary figures, as offered at the appropriate tiers) are integrated into the work with credit but become part of the game's intellectual property upon acceptance.
Risks
The campaign page describes the known risks of solo development, balance iteration, and infrastructure scale. By pledging, you acknowledge those risks and agree to be informed honestly if circumstances change materially.
Conduct
The developer reserves the right to refuse pledges, refund pledges, or revoke rewards in cases of fraud, abuse, or harassment of the community or the developer.
Changes
These Terms may be updated as the campaign progresses and the game develops. Backers will be notified of material changes by email and by an updated Last updated date on this page.
