Terms of Service

This document describes the current devnet preview of KTHX, which is free to play and does not enable real-value wagering. It is provided for transparency and may be updated as the product evolves; it is not legal advice.

1. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using the Service you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. The Service is currently a free-to-play devnet preview; real-value wagering is not enabled. Please also read our Disclosures and Privacy Policy, which are incorporated into these terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (18 in most places) and legally permitted to use the Service where you live. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service - including any future wager-based features - is lawful in your location. The Service is not directed to children.

3. Your account and identity

You can play as a guest; a guest identity is created from a device fingerprint generated in your browser, and you may optionally associate an email. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your identity and for keeping any connected wallet secure. We never take custody of your wallet, private keys, or seed phrase, and no one associated with the Service will ever ask you for them.

4. The Service

KTHX turns classic arcade games into large real-time multiplayer matches. Match outcomes are produced by a deterministic engine and can be replayed frame-for-frame, so results are verifiable rather than trusted. Games marked “live” are playable today; others are labeled as prototypes or upcoming and may change or never ship.

An optional wager layer is described in the product but currently runs only on Solana devnet using a placeholder test token. It carries no monetary value, and the on-chain program acts only as an escrow and notary - it holds buy-ins and commitments and contains no game logic. See Disclosures for details.

5. Wallets, tokens, and on-chain activity

• You interact with the Solana blockchain using your own self-custody wallet.
• Blockchain transactions are irreversible and outside our control once submitted.
• Devnet tokens are test assets with no monetary value. We make no promise that any token will ever have value, be tradable, or be supported on mainnet.
• Where wager features are enabled, any fees are publicly disclosed and capped at 5%. The Service takes no “house” position in a match.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Cheat, exploit, reverse-engineer for unfair advantage, or tamper with match determinism;
• Use bots or automation to play, except features the Service provides;
• Choose a display name (callsign) that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, impersonating, or obscene. Callsigns are limited in length and character set but are not automatically filtered, and we may reset any name at our discretion;
• Disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or other players;
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these terms.

7. User content

The only free-form content you provide in-game is your callsign, plus any message you send us through the contact form. You grant us a license to use, display, and transmit your callsign as needed to operate the Service, and you are responsible for the content you submit.

8. Intellectual property

The Service - including the engine, game designs, artwork, audio, text, and the “KTHX” name and marks - is owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. This is preview software: devnet state may be reset, matches may be interrupted, and features may change or be withdrawn at any time. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, tokens, or profits, arising from your use of the Service. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these terms or applicable law.

12. Changes

We may update the Service or these terms. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above; continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator of the Service is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Specific governing law and dispute resolution terms will be finalized prior to any mainnet, real-value launch.
