Website terms of use
Last updated: 11 November 2026
These terms are the rules for using shngames.com, which is run by SHN Games ("we", "us"). They cover reading the website, your account, the community, comments on update notes, the bug tracker and Countryball of the day. Each of our games has its own terms, listed on the terms page.
By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.
Who can use it
- Anyone can read the website.
- You must be 13 or older to sign in and have an account.
- If the law where you live says you must be older to agree to these terms on your own, you need a parent or guardian's permission before you sign in.
Your account
- You sign in with Google or Discord. Keep that account safe, because anyone who can use it can use your account here.
- One account is for one person. Do not share it, sell it or use someone else's.
- You are responsible for what is posted from your account.
- Your username and countryball must follow the community rules. Do not pretend to be SHN Games, a moderator or another player.
- You can delete your account at any time. The website privacy policy explains what is removed and what stays.
Community rules
When you post, comment, vote or report a bug, you must follow the community rules. They are part of these terms.
What you post
- You keep the rights to what you write.
- By posting, you let SHN Games store, show and share it on the website, for free, everywhere, for as long as it stays up. We may also use your suggestions and bug reports to improve our games, without paying you.
- Posts, comments and bug reports stay after you delete your account, shown as "Deleted player", so this permission continues.
- Only post things you have the right to share, and nothing that breaks the law.
Moderation
Moderators can remove posts, comments and bug reports, reset a username, or ban an account that breaks these terms or the community rules. A banned account can still read the website. Do not make a new account to get around a ban. If you think a moderator made a mistake, email us.
Using the website fairly
Do not:
- break into, overload or disrupt the website, or try to get around its limits
- use bots or scripts to post, vote or create accounts
- collect other players' information
- use the website for anything illegal
Our content
The website, the games, the countryball art, logos and text belong to SHN Games or to those who licensed them to us. You may share links and screenshots of the website. Ask us first before using our content for anything else.
Game information on the website, such as the wiki and Countryball of the day, is for fun and guidance. It can contain mistakes and can change when a game updates.
Other websites
Some links take you to other websites, such as app stores, YouTube and Discord. We are not responsible for those websites. Their own terms and policies apply.
Changes and availability
We may change, pause or stop parts of the website at any time. The website is provided "as is", without promises that it will always work or be free of errors.
Responsibility
As far as the law allows, SHN Games is not responsible for losses caused by using the website. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under the consumer law where you live.
Ending your use
You can stop using the website and delete your account at any time. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.
Changes to these terms
When we change these terms, we update the date at the top of this page. If you keep using the website after a change, you accept the new terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Turkey, without regard to conflict of law principles, unless the consumer law where you live requires otherwise.
