Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you (“you” or “User”) and the operator of idkwhat2play.com (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Operator”). By accessing the Site, using any feature of it, submitting any content to us, or purchasing any advertising or Promoted Listing, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, you must not access or use the Site or purchase any service offered through it.

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have full authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and references to “you” will refer to both you personally and that entity.

• “Site” means the website located at idkwhat2play.com and any subdomains, applications, APIs, or related services we operate.
• “Service” means the random game-discovery features, listings, and any related functionality made available through the Site, including paid Promoted Listings.
• “Content” means any text, image, link, metadata, or other material displayed on the Site, whether sourced from third parties or supplied by an Advertiser.
• “Advertiser” means any person or entity who purchases, attempts to purchase, or holds an active Promoted Listing or other paid placement on the Site.
• “Promoted Listing” means a paid placement, banner, or weighted entry promoted by us in any section of the Site (including, without limitation, the “Promoted” section).

To use the Site you must be at least sixteen (16) years old (or the minimum age required to consent to processing of personal data in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher). To purchase a Promoted Listing or any other paid service you must additionally be at least eighteen (18) years old and able to enter into a binding contract under the laws of your jurisdiction. You represent and warrant that you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of any country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions by the United States, the European Union, or the United Kingdom, and that you are not on any government list of restricted or denied parties.

The Site is a free random game-discovery tool that surfaces video games from publicly available third-party catalogs across multiple storefronts and may also surface paid Promoted Listings. The Service is provided for personal, non-commercial use as a discovery aid only. We do not sell games, process game purchases, or operate any storefront for the games shown. Any purchase of a game is a transaction strictly between you and the relevant third-party storefront, on that storefront's own terms.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise connected to any storefront, game publisher, or developer whose work appears on the Site. All trademarks, service marks, and trade names are the property of their respective owners and are used on the Site only for descriptive identification.

You agree that you will not, and will not attempt to:

• Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right.
• Scrape, copy, mirror, frame, harvest, index, or republish the Site or any of its Content in bulk, whether by automated or manual means.
• Use any robot, spider, crawler, or other automated means to access the Site, except for compliant search engine indexing of public pages.
• Probe, scan, test the vulnerability of, or breach the security or authentication measures of the Site or its infrastructure.
• Disrupt, overload, or interfere with the Site, its servers, or its networks (including by sending excessive requests).
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of any non-public part of the Service.
• Misrepresent your identity, affiliation, or the source of any communication to or about us.
• Distribute malware, phishing material, unsolicited advertising, or any other harmful content using or referencing the Site.
• Use the Site to collect personal information about other users.
• Encourage or assist any third party in any of the above.

We may, at our sole discretion and at any time, suspend, throttle, or terminate access to the Site for any user we believe is violating these rules, with or without notice and without liability.

We do not currently require user accounts to browse the Site. If you contact us (for example, to purchase a Promoted Listing) you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, and to keep that information updated. You are responsible for maintaining the security of any email account or payment method you use to communicate or transact with us.

By contacting us with a business inquiry, you consent to receive transactional email replies from us at the address you used to contact us. You may opt out of marketing email at any time by replying with an unsubscribe request, but you cannot opt out of transactional messages relating to a paid Promoted Listing while it is active.

From time to time we sell paid Promoted Listings and other advertising slots on the Site. The following terms apply, in addition to the rest of these Terms, whenever you purchase, attempt to purchase, or hold any such placement.

7.1 Eligibility of content you submit

Promoted Listings are for games only. We do not accept advertisements for non-game products or services.

You represent and warrant that all content you submit for promotion (including game titles, images, descriptions, links, screenshots, trailers, logos, and metadata) (a) is yours to use and license to us as set out in these Terms, (b) does not infringe any copyright, trademark, right of publicity, right of privacy, or other right of any third party, (c) is accurate and not misleading, and (d) complies with all applicable laws and platform rules. We may, but are not obligated to, review submitted content before publication; our review (or lack of review) does not transfer any responsibility from you to us.

7.2 Prohibited content

We do not accept advertising for, and may refuse, modify, or remove, without notice and without refund, any listing that we determine in our sole discretion to involve any of the following:

• Advertisements for anything other than games;
• Sexually explicit, pornographic, NSFW, or sexually suggestive material;
• Content that sexualizes or endangers minors;
• Hate speech, harassment, threats, or content targeting protected groups;
• Real-world violence, gore, self-harm, or content glorifying terrorism;
• Gambling, sweepstakes, betting, lotteries, or get-rich-quick offers;
• Cryptocurrency tokens, NFTs, ICOs, or speculative investment products;
• Pyramid schemes, multi-level marketing, or referral-bait;
• Malware, spyware, phishing, scams, fraudulent storefronts, or fake giveaways;
• Pirated, cracked, leaked, or otherwise infringing software or media;
• Tobacco, vaping, recreational drugs, or weapons;
• Misleading claims about pricing, availability, ratings, awards, affiliations, or endorsements;
• Political campaigning, electoral advertising, or issue advocacy;
• Content unlawful in any jurisdiction we operate in or serve users from;
• Any other content we reasonably believe is harmful, deceptive, defamatory, or otherwise inappropriate for the Site or its audience.

7.3 Our right to refuse, modify, suspend, or remove

We reserve the absolute right, in our sole discretion and at any time, with or without notice, to (a) refuse to publish any submitted advertisement, (b) modify or reformat advertising content (for example, to fit available space or to comply with applicable law), (c) relocate, deprioritize, or temporarily suspend any advertisement, and (d) immediately remove or terminate any advertisement, including a fully-paid advertisement, if we determine that the Advertiser, the advertisement, the linked destination, or the advertised game violates these Terms, our content policies, applicable law, or our reasonable good-faith judgment about what is suitable for the Site or its users. Removal under this Section 7.3 is not a breach of contract by us and does not entitle the Advertiser to any refund, credit, make-good, or other compensation, and we may publicly state that an advertisement was removed for a violation of these Terms.

7.4 Fees, billing, taxes, and refunds

• Promoted Listings are sold as one-time, 30-day placements. The fee is payable in full in advance before any listing goes live. We currently accept Bitcoin (BTC) only. There are no recurring charges or automatic renewals.
• All fees are exclusive of any taxes, levies, or duties (including value added tax, sales tax, or withholding tax). You are solely responsible for any such taxes other than taxes assessed on our net income.
• Fees are non-refundable if your listing is removed due to a breach of these Terms. If we are unable to run your listing for a reason on our end, we will issue a full refund.

7.5 Free curated listings

We may, at our sole discretion, feature selected games from indie or independent developers at no charge as curated editorial picks. Such placements are a courtesy, not a contractual commitment. We make no guarantee as to selection, timing, duration, or placement position, and we may remove or decline any curated listing at any time without notice or explanation.

7.6 No guaranteed performance

We do not guarantee any particular number of impressions, clicks, conversions, placement order, or any other performance metric. Traffic and audience composition may vary at any time. Statements about expected traffic or performance are estimates only and are not promises or warranties of any kind.

7.7 License to display advertising content

By submitting any content for use in a Promoted Listing, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, transmit, resize, re-encode, and adapt that content as reasonably necessary to operate, market, and promote the Site and the Service, for the duration of the Promoted Listing and for a reasonable period afterward solely for archival, audit, and historical-promotion purposes.

7.8 Compliance with advertising laws

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your advertising content complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and self-regulatory codes, including but not limited to consumer-protection law, advertising-standards rules, anti-spam laws (such as the US CAN-SPAM Act and Canada's CASL), data-protection laws (such as the GDPR and the CCPA), and economic-sanctions law. You will not target advertising at any audience in a manner prohibited by law, and you will provide any disclosures required by law (for example, sponsorship or affiliate disclosures).

7.9 Indemnification by Advertisers

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Operator and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) any content you submit, (b) any game you advertise on the Site, (c) any breach by you of these Terms or any representation or warranty in these Terms, or (d) your violation of any applicable law or third-party right. We will give you reasonable notice of any claim and will reasonably cooperate at your expense; you may not settle any claim that imposes any liability or obligation on us without our prior written consent.

We collect only the information needed to operate the Site, respond to inquiries, and bill Advertisers. This may include server access logs (IP address, user-agent, request paths, and timestamps), basic anonymized analytics, and any information you voluntarily send us by email. We do not sell personal information to third parties. The Site may set strictly necessary cookies and may use a privacy-friendly analytics provider; if we ever introduce advertising cookies or other tracking that requires consent in your jurisdiction, we will display a consent notice before doing so.

You may exercise any data-protection rights available under your local law (including rights of access, deletion, correction, portability, and objection) by emailing contact@idkwhat2play.com. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

The Site is not directed at children under the age of sixteen (16). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at contact@idkwhat2play.com and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Game titles, cover art, prices, release dates, store links, tags, genres, and other metadata shown on the Site are sourced from public third-party APIs and storefronts. We do not own this data and we make no warranty as to its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. All trademarks, logos, and artwork remain the property of their respective owners.

If you are a rights holder (or an authorized agent) and believe that any content on the Site infringes your copyright or trademark, send a written notice to contact@idkwhat2play.com that includes:

1. An identification of the work or mark you claim is infringed;
2. The exact URL or listing on the Site where the allegedly infringing material appears;
3. Your contact information (name, address, email, phone);
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law;
5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or an authorized agent;
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

We will respond to valid notices within a commercially reasonable time. We may terminate the access of users or Advertisers who are repeat infringers.

All Content created or assembled by us, including the layout, design, text, source code, logos, the curated structure of any catalogs we generate, and any aggregated statistics, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site for personal, non-commercial discovery purposes. All other rights are reserved. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works from any part of the Site without our prior written consent.

If you send us suggestions, comments, ideas, or other feedback about the Site or the Service (“Feedback”), you agree that the Feedback is non-confidential and that we may use, copy, modify, and exploit the Feedback for any purpose without restriction or compensation to you.

The Site, the Service, all Content, and all Promoted Listings are provided “as is” and “as available”, without any warranty of any kind, express, implied, or statutory.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that the Site will be available at any particular time, that defects will be corrected, that information presented is accurate or current, or that the Site or its servers are free of viruses or other harmful components. You use the Site at your own risk.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will the Operator or its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, or agents be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or related to your use of the Site, the Service, or any Promoted Listing, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms, the Site, the Service, or any Promoted Listing, regardless of the form of the action and whether in contract, tort, statute, or otherwise, is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid us in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD one hundred dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, the limitations in this section apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

In addition to the Advertiser indemnification in Section 7.9, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Operator and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of or access to the Site, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any law or third-party right.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site, or any paid placement, at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. You may stop using the Site at any time. Sections 5 (acceptable use), 7 (Promoted Listings, including 7.4 fees and 7.9 indemnification), 11 (intellectual property), 12 (feedback), 13 (disclaimer), 14 (limitation of liability), 15 (indemnification), 17 through 22, and any other provision that by its nature should survive, will survive any termination of these Terms.

We may, at any time and without prior notice, modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site or any feature of the Service, in whole or in part. We will not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation, except as expressly set out in Section 7.4 with respect to prepaid Promoted Listings.

We may update these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on this page with a new effective date. For material changes that affect Advertisers, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify active Advertisers by email at the address on file at least seven (7) days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Site, or continued participation in any paid program, after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the change. If you do not agree to the change, your sole remedy is to stop using the Site and, if applicable, to not purchase any further advertising.

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms to the extent caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics, war, terrorism, riots, government action, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, outages of upstream service providers, denial-of-service attacks, or any other event of force majeure.

Any legal notice to us must be sent by email to contact@idkwhat2play.com and is effective when received. We may give notice to you by email to the address you most recently provided to us, by posting on the Site, or by any other reasonable means; notice is deemed given on the date of email or posting. You are responsible for keeping your contact details current.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Operator resides, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located in that jurisdiction for any dispute that is not required to be resolved by binding arbitration. Each party irrevocably waives any right to a jury trial.

Class-action waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and we agree that any dispute will be brought in the parties' individual capacities only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator or court (as applicable) may not consolidate the claims of more than one party or preside over any class or representative proceeding.

Notwithstanding anything above, either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to seek injunctive or equitable relief to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with any order form or written agreement signed between you and us, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely, including to an affiliate, a successor in interest, or an acquirer of all or substantially all of our assets.
• No agency. No agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship is created by these Terms.
• Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.
• No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any rights in favor of any third party.
• Language. The English-language version of these Terms is the controlling version. Any translation is provided for convenience only.
