Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of PlayAirHockey.com (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. The Service

PlayAirHockey.com provides a free, browser-based air hockey game playable against a computer opponent or against another player online. The Service is provided free of charge and requires no account.

2. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use offensive, harassing, hateful or impersonating display names
• Attempt to cheat, exploit bugs, or modify the game client to gain an unfair advantage
• Use bots, scripts or automation to interact with the matchmaking system
• Attempt to disrupt, overload or gain unauthorised access to our infrastructure
• Scrape, reverse engineer or redistribute the Service or its assets
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose

We may block access to anyone who violates these rules, without notice.

3. No Account, No Guarantees of Persistence

The Service does not use accounts. Your nickname, difficulty preference and match history are stored in your browser only. Clearing your browser data erases them permanently, and we cannot recover them.

4. Online Matches

Online play depends on third-party realtime infrastructure and on your own network. We do not guarantee that a match will be found, that a match will complete without interruption, or that latency will be suitable for competitive play. Matches ended by an opponent disconnecting are resolved in favour of the remaining player.

5. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its code, design, graphics and branding, is owned by PlayAirHockey.com and protected by intellectual property law. You may play the game; you may not copy, distribute or create derivative works from it without permission.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PlayAirHockey.com shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Service.

8. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers for hosting, realtime networking and analytics. Your use of the Service is also subject to their terms. See our Privacy Policy for the list.

9. Children

The Service is intended for a general audience. See our COPPA notice for information relevant to children under 13.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent change, and continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance.
