Terms & Conditions

Last updated: July 5, 2026

The boring-but-important documents. Even the wallow has paperwork.

1. Acceptance of these terms

Capy Siege (the "game", the "service") is operated by the Capy Siege team ("we", "us"), based in New Zealand, and is available at capysiege.com and as an installable app built from the same site. By loading or playing the game you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

2. The service

Capy Siege is a free browser game. Local play requires no account and no sign-up. Online play requires a free account ("enlisting"), created with an email address and password or by proving ownership of a Solana wallet with a message signature (section 4). Enlisting also creates a game-managed ("custodial") Solana wallet — the "War Chest" — which can hold real SOL (section 5). The game is provided as a piece of entertainment, as-is and as-available, and we may change, suspend, or discontinue it (in whole or in part) at any time, subject to section 5.7 for anything in your War Chest.

3. Accounts, names, and your war record

• Keep your credentials safe; you are responsible for activity on your account. For email accounts that includes the inbox itself: anyone who controls your email can reset your password, and your account controls your War Chest (section 5.6).
• Team and capybara names are globally unique and filtered. We may release or rename names that are offensive, deceptive, or infringing — the wallow has standards.
• Online match results (wins and losses) are recorded by the game server and shown publicly next to your display name in lobbies.

4. Connecting your own Solana wallet

You can enlist or sign in by connecting a Solana wallet you already control (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, or a Mobile Wallet Adapter wallet such as Seeker's). What that connection does — and does not do:

• Wallet sign-in asks your wallet to sign a short text message. It is free and puts nothing on-chain. It never asks you to approve a transaction — a "sign-in" that requests a transaction is not us.
• We receive your wallet's public address and the message signature — never your private keys or seed phrase, which stay in your wallet. We do not read your connected wallet's balance or transaction history.
• The public address becomes your account identity and is saved as a permanent withdrawal address for your War Chest, so funds can always come back to a wallet you control.

A wallet you connect stays entirely yours: nothing in this section gives us access to it or custody of anything in it. The War Chest, next, is the opposite arrangement — read on.

5. The War Chest (custodial wallet, real funds)

This is the section to actually read.

5.1 What it is. Enlisting automatically creates a new Solana wallet for your account. We generate its keypair on our servers and we keep its private key: the War Chest is custodial, meaning any SOL in it is held by us on your behalf until you withdraw it. You direct the balance through your account; our servers sign the transactions you request.

5.2 The private key. The key is encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) under a master key that exists only in Google Cloud Secret Manager; database rules deny all client access to the stored ciphertext. It is decrypted only momentarily, in server memory, to sign a withdrawal you requested, and is scrubbed immediately after — never logged, never displayed, never transmitted. The private key is never disclosed to anyone, including you. There is no key-export feature; the way to take direct custody of your funds is to withdraw them (section 5.4) to a wallet you control.

5.3 Deposits. Funding the War Chest is entirely optional — nothing in the game requires it. Send only SOL, on Solana mainnet, to your displayed address. Other tokens, or assets on other networks, sent to that address cannot be withdrawn through the game and may be unrecoverable.

5.4 Withdrawals. You can withdraw at any time, to any Solana address you choose. The network fee is deducted from the amount withdrawn. Safety limits currently apply: minimum 0.001 SOL and maximum 5 SOL per withdrawal, at most 6 withdrawals per rolling hour, and a small rent-exempt minimum (about 0.0009 SOL) stays on the account as the Solana network requires. Every withdrawal is recorded in a ledger visible on your War Chest screen. Blockchain transactions are irreversible — an address typo cannot be undone by anyone, including us. Check the address.

5.5 Risk. Custody of cryptocurrency by a video game carries real risk, and we will not pretend otherwise:

• The War Chest is not a bank account. It pays no interest, and balances are not covered by any insurance, deposit guarantee, or government compensation scheme.
• We are not a licensed bank, custodian, exchange, or financial-services provider.
• SOL is volatile. Its value can fall, including to zero.
• Custodial systems can be attacked. If our systems or keys were compromised, funds could be stolen and we may be unable to make you whole. You accept the risk of total loss.
• Do not store more in the War Chest than you are comfortable having in a video game about capybaras.

5.6 Security — our side and yours. Ours: key encryption as described in 5.2, withdrawal signing confined to server-side code, and rate limits with per-request idempotency on the money path (a retried request can never pay out twice). Yours: your credentials are the War Chest — protect your password and the email inbox behind it (or the wallet you sign in with), and double-check withdrawal addresses before confirming. We will never ask for your password or for your own wallet's seed phrase.

5.7 Closure and shutdown. Your right to withdraw your balance is not conditional on continuing to play. If you ask us to delete your account (see the Privacy Policy), withdraw first: deletion destroys the account's wallet records, after which any remaining funds may be unrecoverable. If we discontinue the service or the War Chest feature, we will post notice on capysiege.com and keep withdrawals open for a reasonable period before decommissioning; after that period the stored keys are destroyed.

5.8 Not advice. Nothing in the game, on this site, or in these terms is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. It is a game about capybaras.

6. Licence to play

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, revocable licence to load and play the game for your own entertainment. This licence does not transfer any ownership of the game or its content to you. Recording and sharing gameplay footage is expressly allowed — see section 8.

7. Our intellectual property

All game content — the code, artwork, capybaras, terrain, weapon designs, names, text, and sounds — consists of original works of the operator. All rights reserved. The "Capy Siege" name and logo may not be used in a way that suggests affiliation with, or endorsement by, us without our written permission.

8. Gameplay footage and streaming

You may record, stream, clip, and publish footage of Capy Siege gameplay freely, including commercially — monetised videos, streams, and clips on platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and X are welcome. This is deliberate policy, not an oversight. Two conditions:

• Don't present your content as official Capy Siege material or imply that we sponsor or endorse you.
• Don't use game footage or branding in scams, impersonation of our official channels, or other unlawful activity.

9. Player conduct

When using the service you agree not to:

• attack, overload, or otherwise interfere with the operation of the site;
• scrape, copy, or redistribute the game or its assets as your own product;
• reverse-engineer or modify the game for the purpose of cheating in any competition or promotion connected to it;
• use the service for any unlawful purpose.

10. Promotions and bounties

From time to time we may run promotions, contests, or bounties (for example, rewards for gameplay content). These run on third-party platforms and are governed by the specific terms posted with each promotion, in addition to these terms. Where they conflict, the promotion's own posted terms govern that promotion.

11. No warranties

The game is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted availability, or that it will be free of errors. It's a free game about capybaras with artillery; please calibrate expectations accordingly.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss or damage arising from your use of (or inability to use) the service. To the extent liability cannot be excluded, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us to use the game — which, for the avoidance of doubt, is nothing. These limitations do not remove our obligation to process a valid withdrawal of your War Chest balance under section 5.4, and nothing in these terms limits rights you have under laws that cannot be excluded, including the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act where it applies.

13. Future features

Blockchain-related token features may be added in future. Nothing on this site or in the game constitutes financial advice, an offer, or a solicitation of any digital asset. In-game references to "war bonds" and "$PLOP" are game flavour unless and until something is officially announced on the official site with its own terms — when it's real, it will appear on capysiege.com and nowhere else first.

14. Changes and termination

We may update these terms; the "Last updated" date above will change when we do, and continued use of the service after an update means you accept the revised terms. We may suspend or terminate access to the service at any time, including for breach of these terms. Termination of access does not forfeit your War Chest balance: unless the law requires otherwise, we will still honour a withdrawal of the remaining balance to an address you nominate.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, and any dispute is subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New Zealand.
