Terms of Service

ENGLISH · 日本語

This is an English translation of the Japanese Terms of Service, provided for convenience. If the two versions differ, the Japanese version prevails.

1. Scope of these Terms

These Terms set out the conditions for using PUNIPO (punipo.com and the mobile applications; the "Service"). Anyone who uses the Service (a "user", "you") does so having agreed to these Terms.

The Service is provided by an individual operator ("we", "us").

The Service is intended for people aged 13 and over. If you are under 13, you may not use the Service.

2. Posts and rights

You can post a game that consists of a single HTML file. Posted games, titles, descriptions, comments and profiles (display name, bio, avatar) are shown to other users.

When you beat the #1 record in a game's ranking, you can send a short message (up to 30 characters) to the user you passed. The message and your display name are shown only to that user and may appear in a notification.

You warrant that you hold the rights you need for everything you post. Copyright in what you post stays with you. You do, however, grant us permission, free of charge, to distribute and display your post within the Service, to translate the text in your game, its title and its description (including by machine translation) into the display language of the person viewing it and distribute and display the translated version within the Service, and to use it as a thumbnail image and a short introduction video to present the Service.

3. Prohibited content

You must not post any of the following, whether in the game itself, the title, the description, a comment, a message sent when you take #1, or your profile. If you are unsure whether something applies, do not post it.

  • Sexual content

    Depictions of sexual acts or anything suggesting them, and expressions intended to solicit sexually. Sexual depictions of minors are not allowed in any form.

  • Violence and gore

    Content that glorifies violence against real people, excessively graphic depictions, and content that encourages self-harm or suicide.

  • Hate, discrimination and harassment

    Content that attacks a person or a group on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation and the like. Harassment, bullying and impersonation of another user.

  • Infringement of rights

    Use of images, audio, fonts, code, characters or trademarks owned by someone else without permission. Publishing another user's work as your own.

  • Personal information

    Publishing information that identifies a person - name, address, phone number, email address, social accounts and the like - without their consent.

  • Dangerous and illegal activity

    Content aimed at trading illegal drugs or weapons, gambling, fraud, distributing malware, or attacking other services.

  • Behaviour that deceives players

    Behaviour that goes against what the player intends: navigating them to another page on its own, collecting credentials in input fields, or imitating an advert or a payment screen.

  • Spam and bulk meaningless posts

    Posts made only to advertise, repeated posts with no content, and inflating play counts or scores by illegitimate means.

4. Review and removal

We have no tolerance for posts that fall under the prohibited content or for abusive behavior toward other users.

A posted game is published after an automated review and a check by us. Even after publication, we may unpublish or delete a post that we judge to be in breach of these Terms, without prior notice.

If you breach these Terms repeatedly, or if we judge the conduct to be egregious, we will suspend the account. A suspended account can no longer post, comment or send messages, and cannot change its profile. Its earlier posts stop being shown as well.

5. Reporting and blocking

If you find a post that breaches these Terms, you can tell us through "Report" on the game, the comment, a message you received and the user. We check what is reported and take the action that is needed.

If you would rather not see a particular user's posts and comments, you can use "Block" on their page. You can also use "Block" on a comment. A blocked user's games do not appear in your feed and their comments and messages are not shown. The person is not notified that you blocked them.

If you block from a comment that was written anonymously, the anonymous comments that the same user wrote in that game are no longer shown to you. The same applies when you block from a comment that was written without signing in. A block you make by name does not extend to anonymous comments. This is so that we do not reveal who wrote an anonymous comment.

6. Accounts and data

You can play games and write comments without signing in. A comment you write without signing in is shown as "Anonymous". Posting a game and sending a message do require signing in to an account.

You can delete your account at any time. How to do that, and what is deleted, are described in the Privacy Policy and on the account deletion page.

What information we obtain and how we handle it are governed by the Privacy Policy.

7. Disclaimer

We make no warranty about the content or the behaviour of posted games. Posted games are served in an isolated environment, but whether to play one is your own decision.

We may change the Service, or stop providing it, without prior notice. We are not liable for damage caused to you by either.

8. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms when needed. When we do, we update the last-updated date on this page. If you keep using the Service after a change, you are deemed to have agreed to the changed Terms.

9. Contact
