Terms of Service

Effective September 30, 2026

Template — review before launch. Replace every [BRACKETED] placeholder (operator name, contact email, jurisdiction, region, hosting provider) and have a lawyer review this page for your situation, especially children's privacy (COPPA / UK & EU rules) and, once payments go live, consumer and refund law. Delete this box when done.

These Terms govern your use of Typoclysm (the "Service"), a typing game operated by Perseus Solutions ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

1. Who can use Typoclysm

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in your country to use online services without a parent's consent, if higher). If you are under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent or guardian's permission. The Service is designed for use on a computer with a physical keyboard; gameplay is not supported on phones or tablets.

2. Accounts and guests

Guests can try parts of the game without an email. Guest progress is tied to that browser and may be lost, and some features (Ranked Live Match, Daily Challenges, the Shop, Competitive Arcade) need a free account.
To create an account you provide an email address and a password. Keep your password secret; you are responsible for activity on your account. Tell us promptly if you think it has been compromised.
One person, one account. Creating extra accounts to gain rewards, leaderboard positions or rating advantages is not allowed.
Your display name appears publicly on leaderboards. It must not be offensive, hateful, sexual, misleading, or impersonate another person. We may change or reset names that break these rules.

3. Fair play

Leaderboards, ratings and rewards only mean something if they are earned honestly. You agree not to:

use bots, macros, scripts, automated input, modified clients, or any tool that types, submits or alters results for you;
tamper with requests, scores, timing data or the game's code, or exploit bugs to gain coins, XP, ratings or rankings;
collude with another player (for example win-trading) or deliberately lose to manipulate ratings;
interfere with the Service or other players, or try to access data that isn't yours.

We may correct, remove or reset scores, ratings, coins, titles and cosmetics obtained this way, and suspend or close accounts involved. Results are validated by our servers; if a result can't be verified, we may not count it.

4. Coins, cosmetics and virtual items

Coins, XP, levels, titles, themes and other in-game items are virtual. They have no cash value, can't be sold or transferred, and are licensed to you for use in the Service only.
Earning rates, daily caps, prices and rewards can change. We may rebalance the economy, including adjusting balances where we find errors or abuse.
Paid purchases are not available yet. The Founder's Pack and similar offers are planned; when real-money purchases launch, additional terms (price, what is included, refunds, taxes) will be shown at checkout and will apply to them.

5. Your content

You keep ownership of what you submit (such as your display name and any profile picture). You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store and display it in the Service (for example on leaderboards and match screens). Don't upload anything you don't have the right to use, or anything unlawful or offensive.

6. Our content

The game, its design, code, artwork, sounds, music and branding belong to us or our licensors. You may use the Service for personal, non-commercial play. You may not copy, resell, reverse engineer or build competing services from it, except where the law allows.

7. Availability and changes

The Service is provided as is and may change, be interrupted, or be discontinued. Features marked "coming soon" (such as Tournaments) are plans, not promises. Seasons, ratings and leaderboards may be reset as the game evolves. We may update these Terms; if the changes are material we'll give notice in the Service, and continuing to use it afterwards means you accept them.

8. Ending your use

You can stop using the Service at any time and ask us to delete your account (see the Privacy Policy). We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these Terms or harm the Service or other players.

9. Disclaimers and liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost progress or virtual items, or for losses beyond what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (which, while the Service is free, is nothing). Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your statutory consumer rights.

10. Governing law and contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of State of Utah, and courts there have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer rights you have where you live. Questions or reports: info@typoclysm.com.
