These terms cover playing on SPG game servers, using this website and buying Exclusive ranks. By doing any of those, you agree to them and to the server rules, which form part of these terms.
1. Who we are
SPG is a community-run, unofficial game server cluster for ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, operated by the SPG admin team. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Studio Wildcard, Snail Games, Valve, Discord or MEE6. ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended are trademarks of Studio Wildcard. Contact: open a ticket in our Discord server.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old and meet the minimum age to use Discord, Steam and ARK in your country. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms and approve any purchase.
3. Playing on our servers
- Follow the server rules. Admins decide how rules are enforced; penalties range from warnings to structure wipes and bans, as listed on the rules page. Appeals go through a Discord ticket.
- Wipes are part of the game. Servers are wiped every three weeks, and characters, tames, structures, items, points and ranks earned in game may be reset at any time.
- Servers are provided free and "as is". They may restart, go offline, roll back or change settings without notice, and we do not guarantee uptime or that your progress will be preserved.
4. Virtual items, shop points and the casino
- Shop points, kits, items, dinos, ranks and any other in-game content are a limited licence to use within our servers. They are not your property, have no monetary value, and cannot be sold, cashed out, or exchanged for real money or anything outside our servers.
- The in-game casino uses shop points only. There is no real-money wagering and no prize of real-world value can be won.
- Trading points or items for real money with other players is not allowed.
5. Exclusive ranks (purchases)
- Exclusive ranks are optional purchases that support running the servers. They are sold and billed by MEE6 under MEE6's own terms; we never see your payment details.
- Perks are the bonuses and kits listed on the Exclusive page and may be adjusted for game balance. Ranks are applied to your game account through our Discord link.
- A purchase does not exempt you from the rules. Rank perks may be removed if you are banned or if a payment is reversed.
- Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy.
6. Using the website
- Don't attempt to disrupt, overload, scrape at high volume, or gain unauthorised access to the website or game servers.
- Leaderboards, server status and player counts are shown as provided by the game servers and may be delayed, incomplete or wrong.
- Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
7. Disclaimer and liability
The website and servers are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent allowed by law, SPG and its admins are not liable for any loss of in-game progress or items, server downtime, or any indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 3 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be waived.
8. Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and material changes are announced in Discord. Continuing to play or use the website after a change means you accept the updated terms.
