Terms for using this website and our games.

1. Acceptance of these terms

The Kitchen Sink is owned and operated by Pure Mechanical Group Ltd. (“we,” “us,” “our”). By using thekitchensink.ca or playing our games, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please don't use the website or games.

2. Our games

Our browser games are provided free of charge for personal entertainment. We may change, rebalance, reset, pause or retire games, levels, items, leaderboards or features at any time, including after a game is released on other platforms.

In-game money, wallets, stars, badges and closet items have no real-world value, cannot be bought with or exchanged for real money, and cannot be transferred or sold. They exist only inside the game.

3. Player profiles and leaderboards

• Choose a plumber name that isn't offensive, hateful, sexual, impersonating someone else, or containing personal information. We may rename, hide or remove profiles and scores at our discretion.
• Play fair. Don't use cheats, bots, modified clients, scripts or automated requests to submit scores, earn in-game money or unlock items. We may remove scores, reset progress or block access where we see abuse.
• Your recovery code, and any email or Google account you save your plumber to, control your profile. Keep them private. We aren't responsible for activity by anyone who has your code or access to that account.
• Player cards are meant to be shared. Please don't use them to harass anyone.

4. Pitches and messages

Sending a pitch, build, link or message doesn't create a publishing relationship or oblige either party to proceed, and doesn't transfer ownership of your work. A publishing engagement begins only when a written agreement is signed by both parties.

We receive many ideas, and games often share themes and mechanics. We may already be developing, or later develop, games similar to something pitched to us. Submitting a pitch doesn't create a duty of confidentiality unless we agree to one in writing. Please send only material you have the right to share.

5. Permitted use

You must not use the website or games for unlawful, fraudulent or abusive purposes; attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, administration area, servers or data; introduce malware or automated attacks; interfere with security features, rate limits or score verification; or copy, republish or exploit our content except as permitted by law or with written permission.

6. Intellectual property

The website and our games, including their code, art, characters, audio, text, names, logos and design, are owned by or licensed to Pure Mechanical Group Ltd. and protected by intellectual-property laws. You may play our games and share links, screenshots and player cards for personal, non-commercial purposes, including streaming and video content about the games.

7. External links

The website may link to third-party sites and services such as social networks and storefronts. We aren't responsible for their content, availability, terms or privacy practices.

8. Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the website and games are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee they will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or that leaderboard data or progress will never be lost.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pure Mechanical Group Ltd. and its directors, officers, employees and contractors won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss arising from use of, or inability to use, the website or games, including lost progress or data. Where liability cannot be excluded, our aggregate liability is limited to the greater of CAD $100 and the minimum amount required by law.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there. Subject to any mandatory rights, disputes will be brought before the courts located in British Columbia.

11. Changes

We may update these terms by posting a revised version here. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
