Terms of Use

1. About these terms

These terms govern your use of Match Trap, operated by Reuben Gathaiya in Portugal. By using the game, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. Questions can be sent to info@matchtrap.app.

2. Using Match Trap

Match Trap is a social party game offered for personal and group entertainment. You may use a nickname. You are responsible for activity performed through your room session and for obtaining permission before entering another person’s name or other personal information.

Public rooms may be visible to and joined by people you do not know. A public listing may show its room code, lobby or game status, player count, and target type. Inside a room, participants can see the nicknames, answers, scores, and game status needed to play. Use a non-identifying nickname and do not submit sensitive personal information.

Public games may include computer-controlled players, identified in the interface with an AI badge. Match Trap may add or use automated players to keep a public game available or continue a game when a participant becomes inactive.

You must not use Match Trap to harass others, submit unlawful or abusive content, attempt to access a private room without permission, interfere with the service, automate excessive requests, reverse engineer protected parts of the service, or use the game in a way that violates applicable law.

3. Age and supervision

Match Trap is not intended for children under 13. Minors should play with the involvement of a parent, guardian, teacher, or another responsible adult where required by local law.

4. AI-generated content

Some questions, targets, answer classifications, and explanations are generated or evaluated using artificial intelligence. AI can make mistakes, produce disputed classifications, or occasionally generate unsuitable material despite our safeguards. In host-controlled games, the host may resolve disagreements. Please report recurring problems to us.

5. Intellectual property

Match Trap’s branding, interface, software, original text, graphics, and game presentation are owned by the operator or used with permission and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These terms give you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the service; they do not transfer ownership.

You retain any rights you have in content you submit. You grant us a limited license to process that content only as needed to operate, secure, and improve the service and comply with law.

6. Availability and changes

Match Trap is currently provided on an early-access basis. We may modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue features, and the service may occasionally be unavailable. We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect players, providers, or the service.

7. Disclaimers and liability

To the extent permitted by law, Match Trap is provided “as is” and “as available” without guarantees that every question, judgment, or result will be accurate or uninterrupted. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded or limits mandatory consumer rights.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by Portuguese law, without depriving consumers of protections that apply under the mandatory law of their country of residence. Any dispute should first be raised through info@matchtrap.app so we can try to resolve it informally.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Match Trap develops. The latest revision date appears at the top. If a change materially affects existing users, we will provide appropriate notice through the service.

10. Community accounts and submissions

Magic-link accounts are personal to the email address used to sign in. Community membership may be required to propose a category; complimentary preview access does not promise future paid access.

Proposals are reviewed by AI and may be approved, edited, returned for changes, rejected, unpublished, or archived by the operator. Submission does not guarantee publication. Do not submit personal data, confidential information, review-manipulation instructions, unlawful or harmful material, or content you do not have the right to provide.

You retain any rights you have in a proposal and grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to review, reproduce, edit, adapt, publish, display, and use it within Match Trap and related promotion.
