Terms of use

What this is

These terms apply when you use the Evolia game and the evolia.hakantopcu.dev website. The account you sign in to Evolia with is shared with HLauncher; for your account the HLauncher terms of use apply as well, and for your purchases the HLauncher sales agreement. By opening an account and playing Evolia you accept these texts and the Evolia privacy notice. On matters specific to Evolia (matches, cards, credits, the market, chat) these terms apply.

Who offers Evolia

Evolia is developed and offered by Hakan Topçu in person. There is no company behind Evolia today. When a company is founded, its name and contact details will be added to this section.

Early access

Evolia is still in development. Cards, balance, rules, rewards and prices may change. The game may have bugs. During development, collections, credits and rankings may be reset one or more times; any reset is announced beforehand in the game or on this website.

Who can play

You need a central account to play Evolia. The minimum age for a central account is 18, as set out in the HLauncher terms of use. If you are under 18 you cannot open a central account and so cannot play Evolia. Evolia data found to belong to someone under 18 is deleted.

Your account

• Your account is personal. Do not share your password; you are responsible for what is done with your account.
• Selling, renting or handing over an account, or playing on someone else’s account, is not allowed.
• Do not use insults, hate speech, sexual content, a real person’s name or a brand in your username. Such a name may be changed.

Fair play and cheating

The following are not allowed:

• Using cheat software, bots or any automation that plays for you.
• Modifying the game client, its files or its network traffic; connecting to the game with any tool other than its own client.
• Exploiting a flaw you find in the game or on the server. If you find one, report it.
• Arranging a match result with another player, or deliberately handing rankings or rewards to yourself or someone else.
• Collecting credits, cards or rewards with several accounts and pooling them on one.
• Sending requests in a way that overloads the server.

An account that breaks these rules may lose the credits, cards and ranking it gained unfairly, and may be suspended or closed. To appeal a measure, write to us.

Player conduct and chat

Treat other players with respect. In chat and messages the following are not allowed:

• Insults, harassment, threats, hate speech and discrimination.
• Sexual or violent content.
• Sharing someone else’s personal details.
• Spam, advertising, fraud, and offers to trade for real money outside the game.
• Pretending to be Evolia staff or an administrator.

You can block a player who bothers you. When you report a message that breaks the rules, Evolia’s administrator may review that chat; the message may be deleted and the account warned, its chat restricted or the account suspended.

In-game credits and the player market

• You earn credits, cards and packs by playing. They are not sold for real money and cannot be bought with real money. Purchases made with real money run only through HLauncher and under the HLauncher sales agreement (see Membership below).
• In-game credits and the player market have no real-money value. Credits cannot be cashed out, are not refunded and cannot be sold outside the game; the player market cannot be used for a deal paid in real money.
• They are not your property; they are a non-transferable right to use them in Evolia.
• In the player market, cards are bought and sold only for in-game credits. Players set the prices. No promise is made that an offer or credits keep their value.
• Using the market or credits to carry out a deal outside the game, such as selling cards for money, is not allowed.
• Credits, cards or rewards granted because of a bug may be taken back.

Membership

The membership that will open on HLauncher changes only how you look in Evolia: special avatars, card backs, frames, a VIP badge and a yellow name colour. Membership gives no advantage in a match. Membership and Evolia cosmetics are sold on HLauncher. The purchase runs through HLauncher and under the HLauncher sales agreement; its price, payment, refunds and your right of withdrawal are in that agreement. The agreement covers membership and Evolia cosmetics; the Steam version of Evolia is outside it. When a membership ends, the membership looks come off; what you bought with in-game credits stays.

Content and rights

Evolia’s name, logo, cards, card texts, card art and the game itself belong to Hakan Topçu. Fonts, sounds and software used in the game are used under their owners’ licences; the list is on the Credits screen in the game.

You may share screenshots and videos of the game and make content about Evolia. Copying, selling or reusing the game, its cards or its art in another product without permission, or distributing a modified game client, is not allowed.

Changes to the service and termination

Evolia’s features, cards and rules may change or be removed. The server may close briefly for maintenance. If Evolia shuts down for good, this is announced at least 30 days beforehand in the game or on this website.

You can stop playing Evolia at any time and have your data deleted the way the privacy notice describes. An account that breaks these terms seriously or repeatedly may lose access to Evolia.

Limits of liability

Evolia is free and provided as it is. Reasonable effort goes into keeping the server up and fixing bugs. Even so, the server may go down, and a bug may lose a match or progress. Except for intent or gross negligence, liability for damage arising from such events is limited as far as the law in force allows. The rights consumer law gives you are preserved in every case.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Turkey. The courts and enforcement offices of Turkey have jurisdiction over disputes. As a consumer, your right to apply to consumer arbitration committees and consumer courts is preserved. If you live in another country, the mandatory consumer protection rules of that country apply as well.

If these terms change

When the terms change, the version date at the top changes. Important changes are announced in the game or on this website; playing on after a change means you accept the new terms. The current text is always at this address.
