Terms of Service

Who operates Natock

Natock at natock.com is operated by Allen Chen, an individual operator based in the People’s Republic of China (“we”, “us”). These terms govern your use of the game and its related pages. Contact: infinitetideslab@gmail.com.

By using Natock, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. The service is intended for adults aged 18 or older. No account is currently required.

The game

Natock is a historical market game for entertainment and learning. Each daily story follows one company through three events. You choose a possible path and then see historical price movements, a short explanation and supporting sources. Hints are optional; they do not cost money.

One company is free each UTC day, with replay available that day. The daily selection changes at 00:00 UTC. Stories may recur. Browser progress can be lost when site data is cleared or when you switch devices.

Historical stories, not investment advice

Natock does not provide personalized investment advice, brokerage services, live trading, betting, cash prizes or investment returns. Scores and titles are game feedback, not evidence of investing ability. Historical outcomes do not predict future performance.

Prices, event timing and explanations can contain errors or omissions. Charts use sampled historical closing prices, may be adjusted for splits, and exclude dividends unless stated. A headline is not proof that it caused every subsequent price move. Check the linked sources and seek qualified advice before making real investment decisions.

Prices and availability

The daily story is free. Volume 1 is listed at USD $4.99 for a single purchase of 20 company stories, each with three events. It is not yet available to buy. No subscription, automatic renewal, credits or paid hints are offered. Future volumes are not included in Volume 1.

When sales open, the total price and applicable taxes will be shown before payment. Payments are planned through Waffo Pancake, acting as Merchant of Record as identified at checkout. We do not receive full card numbers or card security codes. No live checkout is enabled in the current release. See Pricing for current availability.

Digital delivery and access

When purchasing becomes available, collection access will be enabled after confirmed payment. It will have no scheduled expiry while the service operates. A purchase grants personal access to the named collection, not ownership of its software or underlying source data.

Keep your purchase details and recovery code private. Browser storage and a saved recovery code are used to restore access; gameplay progress does not automatically synchronize across devices. If access fails, contact support rather than paying again. We do not promise perpetual hosting or include future collections in an existing purchase.

Refunds and cancellation

When sales open, you may request a full refund within seven calendar days after purchase, including after playing. We also refund verified duplicate charges and delivery failures we cannot resolve within 48 hours after you contact us. Refunds revoke access to the paid collection; daily free play remains available.

There is no subscription to cancel. Mandatory consumer rights, including any statutory cancellation rights, are unaffected. Requests and payment-method details are explained in our Refund policy.

Fair use and ownership

You may play for personal use and share your result. Do not bypass daily or payment access controls, share or sell access credentials, overload the service, deploy malware, impersonate others, or systematically extract and redistribute our collection or third-party source material without permission.

Natock’s original software, design and editorial content are owned by or licensed to its operator. Company names, trademarks and linked source material belong to their respective owners. Their appearance does not imply endorsement or affiliation.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy describes browser storage, hosting, support correspondence and your privacy choices. Natock does not currently run advertising trackers, collect a mailing list or send automated reminders.

Availability and responsibility

We aim to keep Natock usable and correct material mistakes, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access or error-free information. To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided as available, without warranties of investment suitability or accuracy. We are not responsible for investment decisions you make based on game content.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. If we discontinue a purchased collection before providing access, we will refund the affected purchase. We may restrict access where reasonably needed to prevent abuse, protect security or comply with law.

Disputes and changes

These terms are governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China, subject to mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live. Contact infinitetideslab@gmail.com first so we can try to resolve an issue. This does not prevent you from exercising statutory remedies or contacting a competent authority.

We will show an updated effective date when terms change, and give at least 15 days’ notice on the site for material changes when reasonably possible. Changes will not retroactively reduce the purchase terms shown at checkout, unless required by law.
