Legal Notice
Last updated 1 August 2026

1. The service
DEUTERIA ("the Service") is a free-to-play, browser-based space-strategy game reachable at https://deuteria.net.

2. Operator
The Service is operated by Edijs Bethers, an individual trading as DEUTERIA, established in the United Kingdom. The operator is not incorporated and is not registered for VAT. Contact: [email protected].
Postal address for correspondence:
Edijs Bethers (DEUTERIA)
Office 1, Izabella House
24-26 Regent Place, City Centre
Birmingham
B1 3NJ
United Kingdom
This is a correspondence address only — the Service has no premises open to visitors, and callers cannot be received. Post must be addressed to "Edijs Bethers" or "Deuteria" to reach us. Email is faster.

3. Independent work
DEUTERIA is an independent space-strategy game, developed and operated by the operator named above. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any other game publisher or rights holder. All third-party names and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners; where any appear, they are used descriptively only.

4. Open-source components
The Service is built on the open-source OGameX engine (MIT License) with substantial modification, alongside other open-source software. The MIT licence text is retained with the source. Questions about licensing or asset attribution may be sent to [email protected].

5. Paid virtual currency
The Service uses Dark Matter, a virtual premium currency. Real-money purchase of Dark Matter is not available while the in-game store is closed; where the store is open, purchase, delivery and refund terms are set out in the Terms & Conditions. Dark Matter and all in-game items have no monetary value outside the game and cannot be exchanged for cash.

6. User-generated content
Player-created content (names, messages, alliance and profile text) reflects the views of its authors, not the operators. Report anything that breaks the rules to [email protected].

7. Governing law & disputes
These notices and your use of the Service are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence. Nothing here affects your statutory rights.
If you are a consumer and we cannot settle a complaint between us, you may be able to use an alternative dispute resolution scheme. UK consumers can get free advice from the Citizens Advice consumer service.
