Website Lifetime

Realms Away and all associated projects may be discontinued at any time without notice. However, it is likely to be announced beforehand.

The things that may be included in a discontinuation are: the website code and domain/hosting as well as all actions associated with it (approvals, support, image hosting, inventories, user info...), the discord, the toyhou.se world.

Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.
