Terms of Service

Agreement

These terms govern your use of BridgeRivalry (the "service"), operated by Tapirly, LLC ("we", "us"). By creating an account, playing as a guest, or subscribing, you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

Who can use it

You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent or guardian's permission, and only a parent or guardian may subscribe.

Your account

• Give accurate information and keep your password (or your Google or Apple sign-in) secret.
• You are responsible for activity on your account.
• One person, one account (see Fair play below).
• Pick a display name that is not offensive or impersonating someone else.

Free and premium

The game against our standard bots is free, as are the Daily Deal and joining group play sessions. Premium adds AI opponents that reason about the auction, explained moves, post-hand review, and hosting unlimited group play sessions.

• Free trial. New subscribers get 7 days free on either plan. A payment method is required to start, and you are charged when the trial ends unless you cancel before then. The trial is offered once, to customers who have not had a subscription before.
• Subscription. Premium is $9.99 per month or $99 per year (prices in US dollars; taxes may be added where required).
• Fair-use limit. Subscribers can play up to 10 premium AI hands per day. The limit resets daily; unused hands do not carry over. We may adjust the limit with notice if costs change.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price until you cancel.
• Cancelling. You can cancel any time. You keep premium until the end of the period you already paid for, and you will not be charged again. Cancellation does not refund the current period (see Refunds).
• Price changes. If we change the price we will tell you at least 30 days before it applies to your next renewal, and you may cancel before then.
• Billing. Payments are handled by RevenueCat and Stripe. Subscriptions bought through an app store are billed and managed by that store.

Fair play

Group sessions and the Daily Deal rank players against each other, so everyone must play each board honestly. You must not:

• use more than one account to play the same board or to improve a ranking;
• get help from another person, a bridge solver, or other software while playing a board;
• share a board's deal or solution with others before it closes, or try to learn hidden cards;
• exploit bugs, automate play, or interfere with the service or other players.

Each board can be played once. We may remove scores, reset streaks, or suspend accounts that break these rules.

Acceptable use

Don't break the law, attack or overload the service, scrape it, reverse engineer it beyond what the law allows, or harass other players.

AI moves

Premium AI opponents and explanations are produced by an AI model. They can make mistakes, give wrong or misleading explanations, and are not a guarantee of sound bridge advice. Every move is checked against the rules of bridge before it is played, but its quality is not guaranteed.

Our content and yours

The service, its software, design and name belong to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use it. Your game history belongs to you, and you allow us to use it to run the service (including showing your display name and scores to other players in group play) and, in aggregate, to improve it.

Availability

We aim to keep the service running but do not promise it will always be available, error-free, or unchanged. We may modify, suspend or discontinue features, including the free or premium tiers, and will give notice where practical. If we end a paid subscription feature, we will refund the unused part of your current paid period.

Ending your account

You can stop using the service any time and ask us to delete your account (see the Privacy Policy). We may suspend or end accounts that break these terms.

Disclaimer and limit of liability

The service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (or $50 if you paid nothing). Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Arapahoe County, Colorado, except where the law gives you the right to bring a claim where you live. Before going to court, please email us first: most problems, especially about billing, we can simply fix.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms. We will post the new version here and change the effective date; for significant changes we will notify signed-in users. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it. Questions: support@bridgerivalry.com.
