Terms of Service.

1. About these terms

These Terms of Service govern your use of zanoka.ca, the official ZANOKA website, including its pages, its press kit, and its links to other services. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

The site is run under ZanokaGameDev, the name used by Arish Hussain, a sole proprietor based in Alberta, Canada. ZanokaGameDev is the solo developer and publisher of ZANOKA; there is no company or studio behind it. In these terms, “we”, “us”, and “our” mean ZanokaGameDev. Malaika Raheel is credited as ZANOKA’s artist. She does not run this website or the ZANOKA Kickstarter campaign, and nothing on this website is a promise made by her.

2. ZANOKA is in development

ZANOKA is a game in development. Everything this website says about it, including its features, content, platforms, languages, prices, release dates, and store pages, describes current plans. Plans are not promises: they may change, be delayed, or be dropped. Screenshots, videos, and artwork show work in progress and may not reflect the finished game. Nothing on this website is an offer to sell anything.

3. Press materials

The press kit offers logos, web-size images, ready-made descriptions, and official videos, including the ZANOKA Short, for editorial coverage, reviews, previews, videos, and streams about ZANOKA. You may use them for that purpose, with credit to “ZANOKA © 2026 ZanokaGameDev and Malaika Raheel”. If you use a video’s sound, please keep the audio credits listed on the Attributions page, as their licences require. Please do not sell or sublicense them, use them to train AI models, edit them in a way that misrepresents the game, present them as your own, or use them to imply endorsement without written permission. High-resolution files and Malaika Raheel’s concept art are shared only on request, under these conditions and any further terms given when they are sent.

4. Kickstarter and other services

The site links to Kickstarter, Steam, YouTube, Instagram, and email. The videos on the homepage, on the Shorts page, and in the press kit load YouTube's privacy-enhanced player only after a visitor presses play. The ZANOKA Kickstarter campaign runs on Kickstarter under Kickstarter’s Terms of Use. Pledges, rewards, and what backers receive are governed by the campaign page and Kickstarter’s terms, not by this website, and if anything here differs from the campaign page, the campaign page applies. Purchases on Steam, if the game is sold there, are governed by Steam’s terms.

These services are run by third parties with their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for their content, availability, or conduct. A link is not an endorsement, and none of these companies sponsors or endorses ZANOKA.

5. Health and safety

Photosensitivity warning. A very small number of people may have seizures when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights, patterns, and fast-moving effects that appear in video games and in videos of them, including ZANOKA’s. Even people with no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition. If you or anyone in your family has an epileptic condition or has had seizures, consult a doctor before playing or watching. Stop immediately and consult a doctor if you experience dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions.

Take regular breaks, play in a well-lit room, and stop if your hands, wrists, arms, or eyes become tired or sore. If you use a controller with vibration, stop if it causes discomfort. ZANOKA features fantasy sword combat and stylised violence. It is not made for young children, and parents or guardians should decide whether it suits their children.

6. Copyright and trademarks

ZANOKA, including its name, characters, story, and artwork, is © 2026 ZanokaGameDev and Malaika Raheel. The original Enemy Mob concept artwork shown on this site belongs to Malaika Raheel. The text and design of this website are © 2026 ZanokaGameDev. All rights reserved. Material credited to others on the Attributions page belongs to its owners.

Except where the law allows it, such as fair dealing under Canada’s Copyright Act, or where the sections on press materials and on videos and streams say otherwise, you may not copy, change, sell, or reuse this material without written permission. ZANOKA and the ZANOKA logo are trademarks of ZanokaGameDev. Kickstarter, Steam, YouTube, Instagram, and other names mentioned on this site belong to their owners.

7. Videos, streams, and screenshots

You are welcome to stream ZANOKA, make videos about it, share screenshots, and use its official videos and images in reviews, news, and commentary, including on monetised channels. In return, please do not claim the game or its artwork as your own, suggest that we or Malaika Raheel sponsor or endorse you without our written agreement, sell the game’s artwork or other assets on their own, or use them in unlawful, hateful, or harassing content. We may withdraw this permission for content that breaks these conditions. Third-party material in the game stays under its own licence, as listed in the game’s credits.

8. Feedback and ideas

We love hearing from players, press, creators, and anyone interested in ZANOKA, so feel free to email zanokagamedev@gmail.com anytime. If you share ideas or suggestions, you agree that we may use them freely, without any obligation to you, including payment or credit, and that we may already be working on something similar, so please do not send anything confidential.

9. Using the site

Please do not use the site unlawfully, try to disrupt it or gain unauthorised access to it or its hosting, or impersonate ZanokaGameDev, Malaika Raheel, or anyone else involved with ZANOKA.

10. Translations

The website is offered in many languages for convenience. If a translated page differs from the English version, the English version applies. These terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Attributions page are published in English only.

11. No warranties

The site and everything on it are provided “as is” and “as available”, for general information only. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including about the site’s accuracy, completeness, availability, or security, its fitness for a particular purpose, or that it is free of errors or harmful components.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither ZanokaGameDev nor anyone who has contributed to ZANOKA or this website, including the artist Malaika Raheel (together, the “ZANOKA team”), will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from or related to the website, its content, or your use of it or of any linked service. The ZANOKA team’s total liability for any claim related to the website is limited to CA$50. These limits apply whatever the legal basis of the claim, even if the loss was foreseeable. Where the law does not allow a limit, it applies only as far as the law allows.

If you use the site in breach of these terms or the law, you are responsible, to the extent the law allows, for the claims, losses, and reasonable costs that result for the ZANOKA team.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Any dispute about the website will be heard by the courts of Alberta, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it in your local courts. Nothing in these terms takes away any rights you have under the consumer protection laws where you live.

14. General

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. If we do not enforce a term right away, we can still enforce it later. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the website.

15. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated from time to time. The current version is always posted on this page with its date.

16. Contact

Questions, feedback, and press, business, or partnership inquiries are all welcome. Anyone can email: zanokagamedev@gmail.com. Artwork requests for Malaika Raheel: zanokagamedev@gmail.com.
