Gotta Play Games

Terms of Service

Effective May 13, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) cover your use of websites, mobile apps, web games, physical card and board games, and any other services offered by Gotta Play Games LLC (“Gotta Play Games,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) (collectively, the “Services”).

We try to keep these readable. If anything is unclear, reach out using the contact info at the bottom.

By using any of our Services, you agree to these Terms and to our privacy policy, which describes what information we collect and how we handle it. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Services. Your continued use after we update these Terms means you accept the updated version.

1. Who can use the Services

Our digital Services (websites, web games, mobile apps, and accounts) are intended for users 13 years of age or older. Our physical card and board games are designed for a younger audience and have age guidance printed on their packaging; physical games do not collect any personal information.

The digital Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete it promptly. See our privacy policy (especially Section 5, “Children’s privacy”) for details on what we collect, how we use it, and how a parent or guardian can request deletion.

If you’re between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction (usually 18), a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf. If you’re under 13, please don’t use the digital Services and have your parent or guardian contact us so we can remove any information that may have been submitted.

2. Your account

Some Services let you create a Gotta Play Games account. When you do:

  • You’re responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure.
  • You’re responsible for anything that happens under your account.
  • You agree to provide accurate information when you sign up and to keep it up to date.
  • You can delete your account at any time from the in-app Settings, or by emailing us.
  • We can suspend or close an account that violates these Terms, even without warning if the violation is serious (cheating in online games, harassment, fraud, etc.).

3. Acceptable use

While using our Services, please don’t:

  • Harass, threaten, or abuse other players, including through display names, chat features, or game invites.
  • Cheat, exploit bugs, or use unauthorized tools to gain an unfair advantage in online games.
  • Try to access other people’s accounts, our servers, or systems you’re not authorized to access.
  • Interfere with or disrupt our Services or anyone’s use of them (e.g., spam, denial-of-service, scraping at high volume).
  • Use our Services to violate any law or anyone’s rights.
  • Resell or commercially exploit our Services without permission.
  • Impersonate someone else, including us.
  • Upload or transmit anything that contains malware or is meant to harm.
  • Use our Services to publish, share, or generate content that’s illegal, deceptive, hateful, sexually explicit, or harmful to children.
  • Scrape, harvest, or otherwise use our content (artwork, card designs, audio, text, software output) to train, fine-tune, or evaluate machine-learning or AI models without our written permission.
  • Use the Services in violation of U.S. export-control or economic-sanctions laws, or while located in a country subject to U.S. trade embargoes.

If you violate these rules, we may remove content, suspend or terminate your access, and report illegal activity to the relevant authorities.

4. Content you provide

When you use our Services, you may provide content like a display name, profile photo selection, chat or emote messages, friend lists, or other settings (“Your Content”).

You keep ownership of Your Content. By providing it, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce, modify (only as needed to format or display), and distribute Your Content to operate the Services, including showing it to other players you’ve chosen to share it with.

You confirm you have the right to share Your Content, and that it doesn’t violate anyone else’s rights. We can remove Your Content if it violates these Terms.

To keep our Services safe, we may (but aren’t required to): use automated tools to detect prohibited content; offer reporting tools that let other players flag content for our review; temporarily or permanently suspend accounts that violate these Terms; retain content related to safety or abuse investigations for as long as needed to investigate or respond to authorities; and cooperate with law-enforcement requests where required by law.

5. Our content and intellectual property

The Services, including all software, game designs, artwork, characters, card designs, audio, text, logos, and brand elements, are owned by Gotta Play Games LLC or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.

We grant you a personal, limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Services for non-commercial personal use only. You may not:

  • Copy, modify, redistribute, or create derivative works from our content, except as allowed by law (e.g., legitimate fair-use commentary or review).
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from our software.
  • Use our trademarks, logos, or brand without our written permission.

DMCA / Copyright Notice

If you think someone is infringing your copyright through our Services, send a written notice to legal@gottaplay.games with: a description of the work, the location of the alleged infringement, your contact information, a statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and that you’re the rights holder or authorized to act on their behalf, and your signature (physical or electronic). We respond to valid notices and may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.

6. Physical games

When you buy a Gotta Play Games physical card or board game (directly from us, from a retailer, or as a gift):

  • You own the physical components and may use them, lend them, sell them, or pass them on, just like any board game.
  • The game design, artwork, rules, and copyrighted material remain ours. You can play the game as designed but you can’t reproduce, manufacture, or sell copies.
  • Returns, refunds, and damage replacements are handled by whoever you bought the game from. For games purchased through a retailer (Amazon, a local game store, etc.), follow that retailer’s return policy.
  • If we add direct-to-consumer sales (for example, through this website), we’ll publish a separate refund and return policy and link to it from this page. Until then, direct-from-us sales aren’t available.

7. In-app purchases and payments

Some Services include optional in-app purchases (toppings, content packs, etc.). When you make a purchase:

  • The transaction is processed by Apple App Store or Google Play according to their billing terms. We don’t receive or store your payment card details.
  • Prices are shown at the point of sale and may include applicable taxes.
  • Refunds for in-app purchases are handled by Apple or Google according to their policies. We can’t directly refund a charge made through their platforms.
  • Once content is unlocked on your account, it stays unlocked as long as your account exists and the Service is operating. If we discontinue a Service, we’ll provide reasonable notice.
  • Purchased content has no monetary value outside the Services and can’t be exchanged for cash, transferred to another account, or carried over to unrelated games.

8. Online play and shared games

Some games include online or multiplayer features. When you play online or share a game with friends:

  • Other players will see information you choose to make visible: display name, avatar, friend code, online presence, and match results from games you played together.
  • You shouldn’t share personal information you wouldn’t want strangers to see.
  • We can’t guarantee uninterrupted online service. Servers may be down for maintenance, updates, or reasons outside our control.
  • We don’t guarantee uninterrupted matchmaking, the preservation of rankings, leaderboards, or in-game progression across updates, or that any specific online or competitive feature will always be available. We may reset or rebalance competitive features as part of normal game operations.
  • If we ever shut down an online game permanently, we’ll give as much notice as we reasonably can and, where possible, keep an offline version available.

9. Service changes and availability

We’re actively building. We may add features, change features, or discontinue parts of the Services. We’ll try to give reasonable notice for material changes, but some changes have to happen quickly (e.g., for security or legal reasons) and we can’t always give advance notice.

10. Termination

You can stop using the Services at any time. If you have an account, you can delete it from in-app Settings or by emailing us.

We can suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue a Service. If we terminate your access for a serious violation, you may lose access to purchases tied to that account. We’ll comply with applicable consumer-protection laws regarding refunds in those cases.

11. Disclaimers

We provide the Services on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.

We don’t guarantee that the Services will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. We don’t guarantee that any defects will be corrected, that the Services will meet your specific needs, or that any content you find or create through the Services is accurate.

Some jurisdictions don’t allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will Gotta Play Games LLC, our affiliates, owners, employees, or contractors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Services, even if we’ve been advised of the possibility of those damages.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to the Services is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the specific Service that gave rise to the claim in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) $100 USD.

Some jurisdictions don’t allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages, so some of these limitations may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Gotta Play Games LLC, our affiliates, and our officers, employees, and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of: (a) your use of the Services, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any third party’s rights, or (d) Your Content.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

Try informal resolution first. Before filing any formal claim, please email us at legal@gottaplay.games with a description of the dispute and the resolution you’re seeking. We’ll try to resolve it informally within 30 days. Most issues can be sorted out this way.

If informal resolution doesn’t work, the state and federal courts located in Utah County, Utah will be the venue for any dispute, except:

  • where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to a court in your own jurisdiction (for example, certain consumer-protection statutes); or
  • for claims you choose to bring in a small-claims court that has jurisdiction.

We don’t require arbitration of disputes — straightforward court resolution is fine with us.

Individual claims only. Even though we don’t require arbitration, you and Gotta Play Games agree that any dispute will be resolved only on an individual basis — not in a class, consolidated, or representative action, and not as a private attorney general. Neither of us will participate in a class action or class-wide proceeding against the other. If applicable law in your jurisdiction prohibits this restriction for a particular type of claim, that specific claim alone may proceed in the form required by law and the rest of this section still applies.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we’ll update the “Effective” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the Services or by email. Your continued use of the Services after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our privacy policy, are the complete agreement between you and Gotta Play Games regarding the Services.
  • Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies.
  • No waiver. If we don’t enforce a part of these Terms, that’s not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written permission. We may assign them in connection with a sale, merger, or reorganization.
  • No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.
