Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Blitzly ("Blitzly," "we," "us," or "our") governing access to and use of the Blitzly website, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service"), including any real-time trivia gameplay, waitlist, authentication, and Founding Member offerings. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility and accounts
- You represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction and are not barred from using the Service under applicable law.
- You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. You must provide accurate information and keep it current.
- The Service may use authentication and data services provided by Supabase and payment processing by Stripe, each subject to their respective terms and policies.
2. Description of the Service
- Blitzly provides an online, real-time trivia experience that may include competitive scoring, timers, streak mechanics, and other gameplay features described on the Service from time to time.
- We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features (including modes, rules, or scoring parameters such as time-based decay or "First Blood" bonuses) with or without notice, except where we have expressly committed otherwise in writing for a specific paid offering.
3. Founding Member status and digital perks
- Nature of purchase.A "Founding Member" or "Genesis" purchase is a one-time payment for a bundle of digital perks, entitlements, and community access as described at the point of sale (for example, profile badge, cosmetic display effects, and private community channels). Unless expressly stated otherwise on the checkout page, fees are not a subscription.
- Lifetime license to digital perks.Where we designate benefits as "lifetime," that means a personal, revocable (for cause), non-exclusive license to use those digital perks for so long as we operate the Service and your account remains in good standing, subject to these Terms and any feature-specific rules. "Lifetime" does not obligate us to maintain any particular feature forever; it means the entitlement is not time-limited by subscription renewals while the Service and the relevant perk category continue to exist.
- Non-transferable. Founding Member status, badges, cosmetics, titles, and related entitlements are non-transferable except where we expressly enable a transfer mechanism in writing. You may not sell, gift, sublicense, or trade entitlements except as permitted by us.
- Non-refundable once claimed or delivered. Except where required by applicable consumer law, all Founding Member purchases are final and non-refundable once the applicable digital perks have been claimed, credited, or made available to your account or email (including after account creation or entitlement migration from a waitlist record). If you have not yet received the credited perks due to a verifiable technical failure on our side, contact support and we will work in good faith to cure the failure or, where appropriate, issue a refund consistent with law.
- No pay-to-win. Founding Member benefits are cosmetic and community-oriented unless we clearly disclose otherwise in writing. They do not grant an unfair competitive advantage in trivia scoring.
4. Fair play, anti-cheat, and enforcement
- You agree to play fairly. Without limitation, the following are prohibited: use of bots, scripts, macros, autoclickers, or other automated means to answer prompts or farm rewards; exploitation of bugs or latency to gain an unfair advantage; collusion or match-fixing; impersonation; or any conduct that undermines the integrity of the Service.
- Multi-accounting. You may not operate multiple accounts to circumvent limits, manipulate leaderboards, harvest rewards, or evade enforcement, except where we expressly permit alternate accounts for clearly disclosed purposes (for example, organization accounts).
- Enforcement. We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations and to take any action we deem appropriate, including warnings, feature restrictions, removal of illegitimate scores or rewards, suspension, or permanent termination of accounts.
- Cheating and bans without refund. If we reasonably determine that you have cheated, abused the Service, or violated this Section 4, we may terminate or suspend your account without refund, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in addition to any other remedies available to us.
5. Gameplay, scoring, latency, and "Decay"
- The Service may incorporate time-based scoring, streak multipliers, "First Blood" or similar bonuses, and other rules that depend on server timestamps, network conditions, and client performance.
- No liability for latency or scoring outcomes. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Blitzly and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents are not liablefor any loss of points, rank, rewards, or progression arising from internet latency, packet loss, device performance, third-party networks, scheduled or emergency maintenance, or the application of server-side rules including time-decay ("Decay") logic, tie-breakers, or anti-cheat adjustments.
- You acknowledge that online real-time games inherently involve variability and that leaderboard and match outcomes are determined by our systems in accordance with published or in-product rules.
6. Payments, Stripe, and chargebacks
- Payments are processed by Stripe. You agree to Stripe's terms and privacy policy where applicable. We do not store full payment card data on our servers.
- Payment disputes and chargebacks. If you believe a charge is incorrect or you did not authorize a transaction, you agree to contact Blitzly support first at support@blitzly.com (or the support address we publish on the Service) before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback with your bank or card issuer, so that we may investigate and attempt to resolve the issue in good faith. Unwarranted chargebacks may result in suspension of your account and reversal of entitlements where permitted by law and payment network rules.
7. Intellectual property
- The Service, including software, artwork, branding, question content (where applicable), and documentation, is owned by Blitzly or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.
- Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial entertainment unless we agree otherwise in writing.
8. Disclaimers
- THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
- We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any defects will be corrected.
9. Limitation of liability
- TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL BLITZLY OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
- TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100), EXCEPT THAT THE FOREGOING CAP DOES NOT APPLY WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW (FOR EXAMPLE, LIABILITY FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR STATUTORY RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED).
10. Indemnity
- You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Blitzly and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of third-party rights, except to the extent caused by our willful misconduct.
11. Governing law and disputes
- These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence may apply where they cannot be waived by contract.
- Except where prohibited by law, exclusive jurisdiction and venue for disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will lie in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
12. General
- These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Blitzly regarding the Service and supersede prior understandings on the same subject.
- If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
- We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent.
13. Changes to these Terms
- We may modify these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on the Service and updating the "Last Updated" date. Material changes may require additional notice or consent where required by law. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, except where prohibited.
