Terms of Service

EFFECTIVE: APRIL 10, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Hopping Heads website, game, and related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by Hopping Heads ("we", "us", "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, connecting your X account, redeeming a beta code, or playing the game, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms in your jurisdiction. If you are under 18, you confirm that you have parental or guardian permission.

3. Beta Status

IMPORTANT: The Service is currently in closed beta. Features may change, break, or be removed without notice. Gameplay data, scores, leaderboard rankings, and any in-game progression may be wiped at any time. Beta access does not guarantee continued access when the Service launches publicly.

You acknowledge that the Service is provided on an experimental basis. We make no guarantees regarding uptime, performance, data persistence, or feature stability during the beta period.

4. Account and Access

Access to the closed beta requires connecting an X account and redeeming a valid beta access code. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your X account. You must not share your beta access code with others unless explicitly permitted by us.

We reserve the right to revoke beta access at any time for any reason, including but not limited to violations of these Terms, suspicious activity, or operational requirements.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to:

Violations may result in immediate account termination, beta access revocation, and potential legal action.

6. Intellectual Property

All content in the Service, including but not limited to game design, code, graphics, audio, text, characters, and trademarks, is the exclusive property of Hopping Heads or its licensors. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes only.

You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Service without our prior written permission.

7. User Content

You retain ownership of any content you submit to the Service (such as your username displayed on leaderboards). By submitting content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute that content in connection with operating the Service.

You represent and warrant that any content you submit does not infringe any third-party rights.

8. Onchain Features and NFTs (Future)

NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE: When onchain features launch on Base, any NFTs minted through the Service are digital collectibles, not investments. We make no representations regarding their financial value, future value, or tradeability. You should not purchase, mint, or interact with crypto assets you cannot afford to lose entirely.

You acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of blockchain technology, including but not limited to:

You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet and private keys. We will never ask for your private keys or seed phrase.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free from harmful components. You use the Service at your own risk.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL HOPPING HEADS, ITS OPERATORS, AFFILIATES, OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM:

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED FIFTY EUROS (€50) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability for consequential damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence under applicable EU consumer protection law.

14. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be announced on the website. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Service.
