By creating an account, logging in, purchasing a membership, joining a game, using chat, entering a tournament, or using any Mahjong Time service, you agree to these Terms & Conditions and any rules posted for a specific game, tournament, promotion, or feature.
Mahjong Time may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the site, browser client, downloadable client, or related services after an update means you accept the updated Terms.
Mahjong Time provides online mahjong games, practice play, multiplayer tables, tournaments, rankings, ratings, belts, chat features, memberships, virtual chips, virtual coins, and related online services.
Some features may be available only to members, may vary by rule set, or may require the browser client, Lite client, downloadable client, or a current app version.
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use Mahjong Time services. You are responsible for making sure your use of Mahjong Time is allowed by the laws that apply where you live and where you access the service.
Mahjong Time may restrict, suspend, or block access to certain games, tournaments, payments, prizes, or features in any location where access is prohibited, restricted, or not supported.
Each player may create and use only one personal account unless Mahjong Time gives written permission. You may not sell, transfer, share, or allow another person to use your account.
You are responsible for keeping your login information secure and for all activity that occurs through your account. Mahjong Time will never ask you to share your password with another player.
You agree to provide accurate account, contact, billing, and tax information when requested. Mahjong Time may suspend or close accounts that use false information, offensive player names, duplicate accounts, or misleading identity information.
Mahjong Time may offer free access and paid memberships such as Premium or VIP memberships. Membership benefits may include access to additional games, practice features, private tables, tournament features, ranking visibility, themes, time bank, sorting options, or other benefits shown on the site.
Paid memberships may renew monthly or yearly depending on the plan selected. The price, billing period, renewal terms, and cancellation method should be shown before purchase.
You may cancel a recurring membership before the next renewal date to avoid future renewal charges. Cancellation stops future renewals, but does not automatically refund prior charges or unused time unless required by law or specifically approved by Mahjong Time.
Mahjong Time may change membership benefits, prices, billing methods, or renewal terms. When required, Mahjong Time will provide notice before changes take effect.
Mahjong Time may use chips, coins, promotional credits, ratings, belts, points, rewards, or similar items as part of the game experience.
Unless Mahjong Time clearly states otherwise for a specific tournament, promotion, or prize, these items are virtual game items only. They are not cash, are not legal tender, are not transferable outside Mahjong Time, and do not create a cash balance owed to the player.
Mahjong Time may adjust, correct, remove, expire, or reverse virtual items, ratings, belts, points, or rewards when needed to correct errors, enforce rules, resolve abuse, or maintain fair play.
Tournament rules, entry requirements, start times, prize structures, and scoring rules may vary by event and by mahjong rule set. Players are responsible for reviewing the rules shown for each tournament before joining.
Tournament results are determined by Mahjong Time systems and official tournament rules. Mahjong Time may review, delay, adjust, or void results if there is a technical issue, rules violation, suspected abuse, collusion, cheating, or other unfair activity.
If a tournament is interrupted by a service issue that Mahjong Time determines was caused by Mahjong Time, the usual remedy is limited to refunding the applicable entry fee or restoring the applicable virtual entry item. Mahjong Time is not responsible for potential winnings from an unfinished or interrupted tournament.
If a tournament or promotion includes a cash, membership, merchandise, or other prize, Mahjong Time may require identity, address, tax, or eligibility verification before awarding the prize. Winners are responsible for all taxes related to prizes. Mahjong Time may issue tax forms or request tax information when required by law.
Mahjong Time is intended for fair play between real players. The following conduct is prohibited:
Mahjong Time may warn, mute, restrict, suspend, terminate, reverse rewards, void results, remove prizes, or close accounts when these rules are violated.
Mahjong Time may provide lobby chat, table chat, rule-set chat, system tips, private table communication, or other community features. Chat is provided to support friendly mahjong play and community interaction.
Players may not post profanity, hate speech, threats, harassment, sexual content, personal attacks, private personal information, spam, advertising, copyrighted material, malicious links, or anything that disrupts the game or community.
Mahjong Time may moderate, hide, delete, review, restrict, or disable chat messages or chat access at its discretion. Players should not share passwords, payment information, addresses, phone numbers, or other sensitive personal information in chat.
Paid memberships, coins, credits, entries, or other purchases may be processed by third-party payment providers. You agree to provide valid payment information and to pay all charges authorized through your account.
Purchases are generally final unless Mahjong Time approves a refund, a technical billing error occurred, or a refund is required by law. Chargebacks or payment disputes made in bad faith may result in account restriction or termination.
Mahjong Time may provide access through a website, browser client, Lite client, downloadable client, mobile experience, or other software. Some versions may require updates to continue working properly.
Mahjong Time may update, change, separate, rename, remove, or discontinue games, apps, clients, features, chat rooms, tournaments, or services at any time.
Mahjong Time does not guarantee that the service will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device, operating system, browser, or network connection.
Mahjong Time, its software, website content, game interface, graphics, text, logos, designs, tournament systems, and related materials are owned by Mahjong Time or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.
You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, distribute, sell, or exploit Mahjong Time software, content, or systems except as allowed by Mahjong Time in writing.
If you send Mahjong Time suggestions, bug reports, ideas, comments, screenshots, or other feedback, you allow Mahjong Time to use that feedback to improve, market, operate, and support the service without compensation to you.
Mahjong Time collects and uses information as described in its Privacy Policy. By using Mahjong Time, you agree that Mahjong Time may process information needed to operate accounts, games, tournaments, payments, support, fraud prevention, security, and legal compliance.
Mahjong Time services are provided “as is” and “as available.” Mahjong Time does not promise that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from defects.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Mahjong Time is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or lost-profit damages related to your use of the service.
Your sole remedy for a Mahjong Time service issue is limited to correction of the issue, restoration of affected virtual items, refund of an applicable entry item, or another remedy selected by Mahjong Time, unless a different remedy is required by law.
Mahjong Time may suspend, restrict, or terminate an account if the player violates these Terms, violates tournament rules, abuses the service, creates risk for other players, creates legal or payment risk, or uses the service in a way Mahjong Time considers unfair or harmful.
If an account is closed for abuse, cheating, fraud, chargebacks, or other serious violations, Mahjong Time may void tournament results, remove rewards, cancel prizes, reverse virtual items, and block future access.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally must be handled individually and not as a class action. Unless otherwise required by law, legal actions must be brought in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California.
Mahjong Time may offer cash-entry tournaments, cash-prize events, or paid promotional competitions from time to time. These events are available only where permitted by law and only to players who meet the posted eligibility requirements.
Cash-entry tournaments may not be available in every location or to every account. Eligibility may depend on age, location, account status, payment verification, identity verification, tax information, tournament rules, and other legal or security requirements.
Mahjong Time may restrict, cancel, refuse, or void entry into a cash-entry tournament if required by law, payment rules, fraud review, technical issues, suspected abuse, or violation of these Terms or the posted tournament rules.
Cash prizes, when offered, are awarded only according to the official rules posted for that tournament or promotion. Winners are responsible for all taxes related to cash prizes, and Mahjong Time may request tax forms or issue tax documents when required by law.
For any questions about these Terms, the Privacy Policy, or reports involving abuse, cheating, spam, or player safety, submit your request through the Mahjong Time Contact Us page only.
