User Agreement

Last updated: September 27, 2026

This User Agreement supplements and is incorporated into our Terms of Service. It covers the specifics of playing and progressing on L.O.S Farms. Where anything here conflicts with the Terms of Service on a general legal matter (liability, intellectual property, governing law), the Terms of Service control; where this Agreement is more specific about gameplay, this Agreement controls.

1. This Is a Fan-Made Preservation Project

L.O.S Farms recreates the original FarmVille experience for nostalgia and preservation purposes. It is built on original, unmodified (except where necessary for the game to run outside its original environment) Zynga game assets and data. We are a small, unofficial, non-commercial community effort — not Zynga, not a licensee of Zynga, and not able to offer the support, uptime guarantees, or permanence that an official commercial game would.

2. Virtual Currency and Items Have No Real-World Value

"Farm Cash," "Coins"/"Gold," crops, animals, buildings, decorations, and any other virtual currency or item on L.O.S Farms (collectively, "Virtual Items"):

  • have no real-world monetary value and are not redeemable for cash, cryptocurrency, goods, or services of any kind;
  • cannot be purchased with real money on this Service (see Terms of Service, Section 2);
  • cannot be sold, traded, or transferred outside the Service, and any attempted transfer outside official in-Service mechanisms (like the Auction House) is void and may lead to account action;
  • are licensed to you for use within the Service only; you do not own them.

3. Earning and Balancing

Virtual Items are earned through play, daily gifts, events, minigames, and staff rewards. Staff may rebalance prices, drop rates, or rewards, and may correct balances that were gained through bugs, exploits, or mistakes.

4. Progress and Saves

We make a reasonable effort to back up the game database, and you can download a copy of your save from your profile. However, because this is a volunteer project, progress may occasionally be lost or rolled back, and we cannot guarantee that any particular item or balance will be restored.

5. Neighbors, Gifts, and Social Features

Neighbor requests, gifts, farm visits, chat, forums, and Discord posts are social features. Be kind, respect other players' choices to decline requests, and follow the community rules in the Terms of Service.

6. Bugs and Exploits

If you find a bug that grants unintended items or currency, report it to staff instead of using it. Deliberately exploiting bugs is cheating and may result in progress resets or bans.
