You agree not to select any Callsign, Display Name, or Motto that is unlawful, hate speech, sexually explicit, harassing, defamatory, or impersonates another person or an employee of The Buddy Company, LLC. We reserve the right to reset offending callsigns or suspend accounts that violate this rule.

4. Virtual Currency, Virtual Goods & In-App Purchases

4.1 Virtual Items Have No Real-World Value: The Game includes virtual currencies (such as Defense Budget "$M" and R&D Cores) and virtual items or entitlements (such as weapon blueprints, depot munitions, the Full Theater Campaign Pass, Ad-Free Command License, and Tactical HUD Cosmetic Packs). Virtual currencies and virtual goods are licensed to you as part of the Game experience; you do not own them, and they have no monetary or cash value in the real world. They cannot be redeemed, exchanged, or refunded for real money, goods, or services from The Buddy Company, LLC or any third party.

We are not responsible for third-party products or services advertised within third-party video ads.

14. Support-a-Commander (Creator / Affiliate Code Program Terms) If you apply for, accept, share, or receive payouts from an official Support-a-Commander Creator Code ("Creator Code") in Air Defense: Sky Command, you ("Creator") agree to the following additional program rules:14.1 Commission Rate & Net Revenue Calculation: Creator will earn a fifteen percent (15%) commission on Net Revenue actually received by The Buddy Company, LLC from verified, real-money Production In-App Purchases (IAPs) made by players who have Creator's active Creator Code linked to their account at the time of checkout. "Net Revenue" means the gross purchase price collected from the buyer minus platform fees charged by the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (typically 15% to 30%), applicable sales/VAT taxes, and any refunded, charged-back, or fraudulent transactions. Sandbox, TestFlight, developer test, or $0.00 transactions generate zero commission.14.2 Telemetry Ledger Is Final & No Self-Referrals: Commission tracking is automated via the Game's Firestore database and RevenueCat. Only purchases where the Creator Code was properly entered and active prior to checkout qualify; no retroactive claims are permitted. The Company's database ledger is the final and conclusive source of truth for all attribution calculations. Self-referrals (using your own code on your own accounts or devices) are strictly prohibited.14.3 Payout Threshold, 30-Day Clearing Hold & Taxes: Accrued commissions become eligible for payout once Creator's verified balance reaches at least Twenty-Five U.S. Dollars ($25.00). To account for Apple App Store and Google Play Store customer refund windows, commissions are subject to a 30-day clearing period from the end of the calendar month in which the purchase occurred. Payouts are issued in USD via PayPal ("Goods & Services") or another mutually agreed electronic method. Creator is an independent contractor (not an employee, partner, or co-owner of The Buddy Company, LLC) and is solely responsible for reporting and paying all applicable income taxes on commissions earned. If Creator's cumulative payouts approach or exceed $500.00 in a calendar year (or upon Company request), Creator must provide a completed IRS Form W-9 (for U.S. residents) or IRS Form W-8BEN (for non-U.S. residents) to contact@thebuddycompanyllc.com prior to receiving further payouts.14.4 Brand Safety, FTC Disclosure & Right to Modify or Terminate: When promoting a Creator Code on social media, Discord, TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram, Creator must clearly disclose the relationship (such as using "#ad" or stating they earn a commission when their code is used) and must not use bots, paid review/tester farms, spam, or offensive/unlawful content. Notwithstanding any informal reference to a "permanent" code, The Buddy Company, LLC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify commission rates, deactivate any Creator Code, or pause or terminate the Support-a-Commander program at any time, with or without cause, by providing notice via Discord or email. Upon termination (other than for fraud or material breach), Creator will be paid any verified, non-refunded commission balance exceeding $25.00 after the standard 30-day clearing period.
