Terms of service

walter.gg runs games on our own gaming rigs and pixelstreams them to your browser. You press play, the game runs on our hardware, and the picture streams to whatever screen you are using. The service is operated by walter.gg Ltd ("Walter", "we").

Walter is currently in early alpha. Everything on the platform is free while the alpha runs. There is nothing to buy, no subscription and no payment details to enter. If we ever introduce paid plans, we will announce it clearly and publish new terms first.

An early alpha means we are still building. By playing you accept that:

• The service is provided as is. Streams can stutter, drop or be unavailable.
• Sessions can end when we need the capacity, run maintenance or hit a bug.
• Games can be added and removed from the lineup without notice.
• Features can change or disappear while we tune the platform.
• Nothing you do in a demo session is saved unless we say otherwise.

In return you play for free, and we read your feedback. Fair trade.

You enter your email address once to play. Keep it accurate: it is how we reach you about the alpha. How we handle it is covered in our privacy policy. Full accounts (with a password) come later; when they do, extra terms may apply to account features. Access to the alpha is personal. We can pause or withdraw access if these terms are broken.

Some titles, like Counter-Strike 2, run on your own Steam account. You sign in to Steam inside the stream, on Valve's own sign-in screen. That means:

• Your Steam credentials go to Valve, not to us. We do not see or store them.
• Valve's own terms and the game publisher's terms apply to your use of those games.
• You are responsible for your own game account, its security and its purchases.
• Progress and achievements in those games land on your account, governed by Valve.

Keep it clean. While using Walter you agree not to:

• Cheat, exploit or use unauthorised automation in any game.
• Copy, record for redistribution, scrape, reverse engineer or resell the stream or the platform.
• Use the rigs for anything other than playing the games we offer (so no mining, no bots, no running your own software).
• Break the law, infringe anyone's rights, or harass other players.
• Probe, overload or attack the infrastructure.

We can end a session or withdraw alpha access immediately when this is breached. If a game publisher penalises your game account for cheating, that is between you and them.

You need to be 16 or older (or the applicable digital consent age in your country) to use walter.gg. By playing you confirm that you are.

The games belong to their publishers and are licensed by them, not by us. All titles, artwork and trademarks are property of their respective owners.

The walter.gg name, the Walter character, the site and the platform are ours. You get a personal, non-transferable right to use the service during the alpha, nothing more.

Feedback you send us about the alpha can be used by us to improve Walter, without obligation or compensation. That is what the alpha is for.

The alpha is free and provided as is, without warranties of availability, performance or fitness for a particular purpose. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect damage, lost data, lost progress or lost session time arising from use of the alpha.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited. If you are an EU consumer, the mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence continue to apply.

We can update these terms as the product evolves. The date below always shows the current version, and for material changes we will tell you before they take effect. We can also pause or end the alpha itself. If we do, we will say so on the site.

These terms are governed by the laws of Malta. Mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence may also apply. If something goes wrong, contact us first at legal@walter.gg and we will try to resolve it informally within 30 days before any formal steps. Formal disputes are resolved by the courts or arbitration available under Maltese law.
