Terms of Service

1. What the atlas is

You can explore country information, choose a public handle and follow activity within the game. An Atlas “claim,” “holder,” “place,” or “asset” refers only to a digital game record. It does not transfer land, sovereignty, intellectual property, a financial security or any right in a real-world place.

2. First claims and payment

An available country may be offered as a first claim at the USD amount shown in the secure Stripe Checkout page. A paid first claim creates a virtual game display position associated with your chosen Atlas avatar. It is not land, sovereignty, a security, cryptocurrency, an investment, or a promise of appreciation, resale value or financial return. Stripe processes card payment and sends its payment receipt; Little Big Atlas does not receive or store your full card number.

3. Takeovers and Atlas purchase credit

An eligible member-held place can be taken over by another account at the displayed game price. A completed takeover ends the previous holder’s display position and assigns the place to the new holder’s avatar. On a completed takeover, Atlas deducts 20% of the increase over the previous claim price, rounded to the nearest cent, and issues the remainder of the full price to the previous account as Atlas purchase credit. For a previous price of $100 and takeover price of $120, the fee is $4 and the credit is 116 LBA.

One Little Big Coin (LBA) offsets $1 of a later direct Atlas claim. Available credit is applied automatically; Stripe charges only a positive shortfall. A claim fully covered by credit needs no card charge. Credit is shared across an account’s avatars and cannot be separately purchased, transferred, withdrawn, redeemed for cash or spent outside Atlas. It is not cryptocurrency, a deposit or an investment. Takeovers and credit are confirmed by the server after payment verification; incomplete, expired or canceled orders do not transfer a place or create earned credit. Reservations can temporarily reduce available credit.

Offers, auctions and cash payouts are not available. Game prices and future layers do not guarantee demand, appreciation, profit or a future ability to cash out.

4. Your account and public names

Keep your sign-in details secure and provide an email address you can access. One private account may have several public avatars, each with a name and icon. Avatars do not create separate users, payment identities or rights. Their game activity may be visible to other visitors; your sign-in email is not displayed as an avatar name. Do not impersonate another person or organization, use a misleading “official” name, disrupt the service or attempt unauthorized access.

5. Atlas Originals

Places marked “Atlas Original” are held by Little Big Atlas or its founders, including through their avatars. These are not independent member claims or evidence of market demand. The operator may hold additional marked places in the future. When Atlas is the first-claim seller, the purchase screen identifies the applicable game price before payment.

6. Price, cancellation and claim issues

The price shown in Stripe Checkout is the price that applies to that payment. Game prices may change before checkout or after a country becomes unavailable. You may cancel before completing payment in Stripe. If a completed payment cannot be matched to an available first claim because of a technical failure, contact us and we will investigate and provide a refund where appropriate. Nothing in these terms limits any mandatory consumer rights that apply to you.

7. Information and availability

Country facts come from identified third-party sources and may be delayed, incomplete or revised. Features may change and the service may be interrupted while we maintain or improve it. Do not rely on a displayed price, feature or future layer as an offer to transact beyond the current Stripe Checkout or as a promise of future value.

8. Your content and our materials

You remain responsible for the handle, avatar picture or other content you submit. Upload only images that you own or have permission to use and that do not impersonate others or reveal information you want kept private. You permit us to display your avatar content as needed to operate the atlas. The Little Big Atlas design, software and brand remain with their respective rights holders. Third-party data, maps and imagery retain their own credits and licenses.

9. Account concerns and changes

We may restrict accounts involved in abuse, fraud or security incidents. You can ask about your account or request deletion by emailing littlebigatlas.admin@gmail.com. If these terms materially change, we will update this page and its date before the revised terms apply.
