The short version
- You buy through Stripe Checkout. Card details never touch our servers; Stripe handles payment directly.
- What you bought is credited to your in-game account within seconds. The purchase delivers a cryptographically-signed grant to the game, which adds the items (e.g. Crests) to the player who bought them.
- Credited exactly once. The grant carries the purchase's unique id; the game ignores duplicates, so a retried payment notification can never double-charge or double-credit you.
- These are consumable in-game items. Non-refundable, no cash value, spent inside the game. (For software you buy once and own forever, see how licensing works instead.)
- No account with us. You sign in to the game, not to Cyberfrog Systems; the purchase ties to your in-game player id.
What we don't do
- No subscription. One-time purchases unless a product explicitly says otherwise - no recurring charge.
- No customer database to breach. Order history lives in Stripe; we look it up on demand.
- No data collection or tracking beyond the purchase itself.
- No middleman. You buy direct; nobody marks up the price between you and us.
For the technically curious
The grant is an Ed25519-signed credential covering the product, the item amount, your in-game player id, and the purchase id, delivered to the game over an HMAC-signed server-to-server webhook. The game verifies the signature offline against the public key and de-duplicates on the purchase id, so you're credited exactly once even if the payment processor retries delivery. Order history lives in Stripe; we keep no customer database.
