Terms of Use

Last updated November 14, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Puffin Matrix LLC ("we", "us") about Homerift, the game at homerift.gg and its emails. By playing, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't play. How we handle data is covered in our Privacy page.

1. Early access

Homerift is in early access and changes often. Features, balance and the world itself may change. Progress may occasionally be reset, for example when the world is rebuilt. Purchases are kept through resets. We'll try to give notice, but we can't promise the game will always be available or error-free.

2. Your account

• Your account lives in your browser. If you clear it without adding an email, the save is lost and we may not be able to recover it.
• Keep sign-in links and codes to yourself. Anyone holding them can use your account.
• You must be at least 13 to play. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms and approve any purchase.

3. Playing with others

Homerift is a shared world. Please don't:

• cheat, exploit bugs to gain an advantage or to damage the world, or use bots or modified clients;
• harass other players, including by griefing, trapping or following them around;
• attack, overload or try to break into the game or its servers;
• build things meant to be offensive or hateful;
• resell accounts, codes or items.

We may remove things from the world, or limit, suspend or close accounts that break these rules. Found a bug or a security problem? Tell us at hello@homerift.gg. Reporting it in good faith never gets you in trouble.

4. Purchases

• Homerift is free to play. Optional items: Second Wind™ (a one-time revive) and Keeper™ (one-time: permanent camps, cosmetic capes and three Second Winds). Prices are shown before checkout. Payments are handled by Stripe.
• What you buy is a limited, personal license to use digital items in the game. Items have no cash value, can't be exchanged for money and can't be transferred, except where the law says otherwise.
• Items are delivered right away. A Second Wind is used up when you use it.
• Refunds: if something you bought didn't arrive, or you bought it by mistake and haven't used it, write to support@homerift.gg within 14 days and we'll refund it. Your local law may give you more rights, and nothing here limits them.
• If we ever shut Homerift down, we'll give at least 30 days' notice in the game.

5. Codes, invites and rewards

Tester codes, promo codes and invite rewards are free gifts. We set what they give, may limit or expire them, and may take back rewards that were gained by abuse.

6. Your feedback and ideas

We love feedback, and some of the game was shaped by it. When you send feedback or an idea, you allow us to use, change and build on it in Homerift and elsewhere, without owing you anything. When an idea you sent ships, we may thank you with Second Winds or a mention in the game. That's a gift, not payment, and we decide when an idea counts. Please don't send anything you aren't free to share.

7. Ours and yours

The game, its world, art, music, code and text belong to Puffin Matrix LLC or its licensors. Homerift™, Second Wind™ and Keeper™ are trademarks of Puffin Matrix LLC. You may share screenshots and videos of your play, including monetized videos and streams, as long as you don't suggest that we endorse you. Don't copy, decompile or redistribute the game itself.

8. Disclaimers

Homerift is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Take breaks, and mind your surroundings when playing on a phone.

9. Limit of liability

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for lost data or progress. Our total liability for any claim about Homerift is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or US $20. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

10. Disputes

Please write to us first. Most problems can be solved by email. These terms are governed by the laws of the state where Puffin Matrix LLC is organized, in the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you live in a country whose consumer laws give you the right to bring a claim locally, or under that country's law, these terms don't take away that right.

11. Changes

We may update these terms as the game grows. When we do, we'll change the date above. If a change is significant, we'll also say so in the game. Playing after a change means you accept the new terms.
