Terms

Last updated 28 October 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Thoufeek Baber, doing business as Thoufeek X Labs ("we"), for Mancave, its website and its services. By playing, buying or making an account, you agree to them.

The game

Mancave is in early access, so features change and things may break. The free demo is the home cave plus one complete flip job. Buying the full game unlocks the rest. Every future update and any DLC we ever make for Mancave are included at no extra cost, for the edition you bought.

Buying

A purchase gives one person a personal, non-transferable license to play the full game. It is a license, not a sale of the game. The license key works in up to 3 browsers or devices, and signing in with the email you bought with unlocks it wherever you sign in. Payments, tax and refunds are handled by Dodo Payments as merchant of record, under their terms. If a purchase is refunded or charged back, the full game locks again.

What belongs to us

Mancave and everything in it are owned by Thoufeek X Labs or used under license: the name, logo and branding, the code, game design, systems, mechanics as implemented, levels, text, art direction, screenshots, videos and the website. You may not copy, sell, redistribute, rehost, reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or make games, products or assets derived from Mancave or its code or content, except as the law expressly allows. Third-party assets keep their own licenses, listed in the game's credits.

You are welcome to stream Mancave, post videos and screenshots, and earn money from that content, as long as you don't present it as your own game.

Ideas and feedback

If you send ideas, suggestions or feedback (for example with F7, by email or on social media), you give us the right to use them freely, without payment, credit or any obligation to you. We don't accept or review unsolicited ideas on any other basis, and we may already be working on something similar.

Your account and caves

You are responsible for your account. When you share a cave link, you let anyone with it view that cave, and you let us show shared caves (for example in the game or on our site). Don't use names or content that are unlawful, hateful or infringe someone else's rights.

Fair play

Don't share or resell license keys, attack or overload the servers, exploit bugs to harm other players or us, or try to unlock the game without paying. We may suspend keys or accounts that do, without refund.

No warranty

The game and services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, including fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted play or that saves will never be lost. In-game rules for wiring, plumbing, structures, firearms and the like are simplified for play and are not advice or instructions for real-world work. Always use licensed professionals and follow local laws.

Limit of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim about Mancave is limited to the amount you paid us for the game in the 12 months before the claim. Some places don't allow these limits, so they apply only as far as your local law permits.

You agree to cover us

If you break these terms or the law while using Mancave and someone makes a claim against us because of it, you agree to cover our reasonable losses and costs from that claim.

Age

If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms and make any purchase. Mancave is not directed at children under 13.

Ending

You can stop playing and delete your account at any time in Settings. We may change, suspend or end the game or any service. If we ever shut down the online services, we will try to give notice and keep the game playable where we reasonably can.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Canada and of the province where Thoufeek X Labs is based, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes go to the courts of that province, unless your local consumer law gives you the right to use your own courts. Please contact us first; most problems can be fixed by email.

Changes

We may update these terms as the game grows. The date above shows the latest version. If a change is significant, we'll say so in the game or by email. Playing after a change means you accept it.

Mancave is made by Thoufeek Baber (Thoufeek X Labs), Canada. Questions: thoufeekbaber1@gmail.com. See also help, the privacy policy and the terms.
