Terms and conditions

1. About these terms

These terms apply to your use of orreryhall.com ("Orrery Hall", "we", "us"). By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. You can contact us at hello@orreryhall.com.

2. Adults only

Orrery Hall is for people aged 18 or over. By confirming your age you tell us that you are 18 or older. If the legal age for gambling-style games where you live is higher, you must meet that age too.

3. A free social game, not gambling

Every game on Orrery Hall is played with stardust, a virtual points currency. Stardust is given free, cannot be purchased, has no monetary value and cannot be sold, transferred, exchanged or redeemed for money, goods, services or prizes of any kind. No real money is staked or won. Orrery Hall does not offer real-money gambling and is not connected with any gambling operator.

Playing or success in these games does not imply future success at real-money gambling.

4. Stardust and your Logbook

Your stardust balance, Logbook and settings are stored only in your browser. We cannot see, restore or transfer them. Clearing your browser data, choosing Session only storage or using another device will reset them. We may change starting balances, top-ups or game rules at any time; changes are shown on the relevant pages.

5. Fair play

Game results are produced by your browser's secure random number generator under the rules and pay tables shown on each game page. Do not attempt to interfere with the games, the site or other people's use of it.

6. Breaks and limits

You can set reminders and round limits and close the shutters on every game for a period you choose. A shutter break applies to the browser where you set it and cannot be shortened. It is not a substitute for GAMSTOP or professional support; see Rest Your Eyes.

7. Night Sky and external links

Night Sky pages contain our own opinions about third-party browser games and link to their official websites. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, prices or policies. Game names and trademarks belong to their owners and are used only to identify the games reviewed.

8. Our content

The Orrery Hall name, games, text, illustrations and code belong to us. You may share links to the site and quote short extracts with credit. You may not copy the games or artwork for other sites.

9. Availability and liability

The site is provided free and as it is. We aim to keep it working but do not promise it will always be available or error free. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law. Otherwise we are not liable for any loss arising from use of a free entertainment site.

10. Changes and law

We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, without affecting any rights you have under the law where you live.
