Terms of Service & Disclaimer

Version 2026-07-01 · Last updated: 2026-07-01

DRAFT — requires review by a licensed attorney in your state. This is a conservative first draft, not legal advice. Enforceability of some clauses (arbitration, class-action waiver, liability limits) varies by state and facts. Have a lawyer review before you rely on it — especially before accepting any money.

Plain-English summary. BombPot is a free, social, play-money card game for private friend groups. There are no real-money transactions of any kind. The chips have no monetary value and cannot be bought, sold, transferred for value, or redeemed. The service is provided “as is,” you use it at your own risk, disputes are resolved by binding arbitration (not court, and not class actions), and if you and your friends attach real-world meaning to chips, that is entirely between you — BombPot is not involved.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By checking “I agree,” or by accessing or using BombPot (the “Service”), you enter a binding agreement to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. We keep a record of the version you accepted and when.

2. Play-money only; not gambling

The Service uses virtual “chips” for entertainment only. Chips have no real-world or monetary value, are not for sale, and cannot be redeemed, exchanged, transferred for value, or cashed out. The Service does not process, hold, transfer, or facilitate any payment, deposit, wager, or payout of real money, and money can never be exchanged for chips that can be won. Any optional chip ledger is an arithmetic/record-keeping tool for play chips only.

3. Your responsibility & local law

You are solely responsible for your own conduct and for complying with all laws that apply to you. If you choose to associate real money or anything of value with play chips, or to settle up off the platform, you do so entirely at your own risk and on your own arrangements. Any such arrangement is strictly between you and the other players; BombPot is not a party to it, does not endorse it, and bears no responsibility for it. Gambling laws vary by jurisdiction — it is your responsibility to know and follow the laws where you live.

4. Eligibility (18+)

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to use the Service, and you represent and warrant that you are. The Service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

5. Accounts & identity

The Service is used as a guest with a display name you choose. Keep your join links private; you are responsible for activity that occurs through your session.

6. Acceptable use & user content

You agree not to use the Service for any unlawful purpose; not to operate or facilitate real-money gambling where prohibited; and not to cheat, exploit, reverse-engineer, disrupt, scrape, or attempt to gain unauthorized access. You are solely responsible for the display name and chat messages you submit (“user content”). Do not post anything unlawful, harassing, hateful, defamatory, or infringing. We do not pre-screen user content, are not responsible for it, and may remove it or suspend access at our discretion.

7. Assumption of risk

You understand the Service is provided for casual entertainment and may contain bugs, may lose or misreport game state or chip counts, and may be interrupted or unavailable. You knowingly assume all risk arising from your use of the Service.

8. No warranty

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not guarantee the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that game state, chip counts, or shuffles will always be correct or preserved.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL BOMBPOT OR ITS OPERATOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BombPot and its operator from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your user content, your violation of these Terms or any law, or any dispute between you and another user, including any real-world stakes or settlements you arrange.

11. Binding arbitration & class-action waiver

Please read carefully — this affects how disputes are resolved. Except for small-claims matters and requests for injunctive relief, you and BombPot agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, not in court. You and BombPot waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, or representative action; disputes must be brought in your individual capacity only. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing informationignite@gmail.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Enforceability of this section depends on your state and the facts; a court may find parts of it unenforceable, in which case the rest still applies to the extent permitted.

12. Disputes between users

BombPot is not responsible for, and will not mediate, any dispute between players, including disputes over off-platform settlements.

13. Intellectual property & DMCA

BombPot and its original content are protected by intellectual-property laws. If you believe content infringes your copyright, contact our designated agent at informationignite@gmail.com with the information required by the DMCA (identification of the work, the material, your contact info, and a good-faith statement). [DMCA agent name & address — placeholder.]

14. Paid features & subscriptions

The core game is free. If paid features are offered in the future, any subscription terms, renewal disclosures, and cancellation rights will be presented before purchase and added here. Paid features never buy winnable chips and chips are never redeemable for money.

15. Termination & changes

We may suspend or terminate access at any time. We may update these Terms; material changes bump the version above and you will be asked to accept again before continuing to use the Service.

16. Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [New York], United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. For any matter not subject to arbitration, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in [New York County, New York]. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
