Terms of Service

1. Who we are

A Little Bit of Corruption is a game for adult couples, together with a website where contributors write its dares. It’s run by an individual based in the Netherlands. In these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” mean the operator of A Little Bit of Corruption, and “you” means you, the person using it.

The service has three parts, which these terms call “the service” together:

• the website, including the landing page and this page;
• the designer (/designer), where signed-in contributors write, suggest and discuss dares;
• the game (/play), where two partners link their accounts and play.

You can reach us through our contact form, or at info@alittlebitofcorruption.com.

2. Agreeing to these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and us. You accept them when you create an account (by ticking the box when you sign up, or in the one-time prompt you see after signing in), and by using the service. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it.

Our Privacy Policy explains what we do with your personal data. You accept it at the same time: it explains how we keep your game choices private and use them only to run the game, with your permission.

3. Adults only

The service is only for adults. To use it you must be at least 18, and old enough to view sexual content where you live, if that’s older.

The service is about sex. Its dares describe sexual activities, kinks and fetishes, in text. If you don’t want to read that, or if it’s illegal where you are, don’t use the service.

When you sign up, you confirm that you’re 18 or older. Don’t let anyone under 18 use your account or see the service on your device. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we delete it.

4. A game in the making

The game is new, and the whole service is still being built. That means:

• Features will change. We may add, change or remove them without notice.
• Parts of the service may sometimes be unavailable, slow or broken, and we can’t promise that nothing you’ve saved will ever be lost.
• The service is free for now. If we ever charge for anything, we’ll say so clearly beforehand, and nobody will pay for anything they haven’t agreed to.
• We offer the service “as is” and “as available”, without promising that it’s free of errors or fit for any particular purpose, to the extent the law allows.

5. Play safely, at your own risk

The game suggests things to do. You and your partner decide what you actually do, and you’re responsible for it. Please read this section carefully.

Every dare is optional

• A dare only unlocks when both of you have liked it. Even then you never have to play it: skip it, change it, or save it for another day.
• A like is not consent. Liking a dare, or seeing it unlock, doesn’t mean anyone has agreed to do it, now or ever. Always ask each other.

Consent, every time

• Both of you must freely agree to every dare, every time you play it.
• Either of you can change your mind at any moment, before or during a dare. Stop means stop: immediately, with no questions and no sulking.
• Agree on a safe word before you start, and on a signal for moments when talking isn’t possible. Respect them at once.
• Never pressure, guilt, trick or push anyone into liking or doing a dare. Someone who is drunk, high, asleep or otherwise unable to decide can’t consent.

Your choices are yours

• You and your partner are adults, responsible for your own choices, health and safety, and for looking after each other.
• Don’t do anything that’s illegal where you are, that’s unsafe, or that your body or health doesn’t allow. If a dare doesn’t fit you, change it or skip it.
• Keep other people out of it. Never involve anyone who hasn’t agreed, and remember that what’s fine in private can be illegal where others can see you.
• Never record or share images or details of your partner without their clear permission.

Take extra care with anything risky

Some activities carry real risks, even between people who trust each other. Be especially careful with:

• alcohol and drugs, which blur judgement and make it harder to be sure you both still want to go on;
• restraint of any kind: never leave a restrained person alone, and make sure you can free them quickly;
• anything that affects breathing or puts pressure on the neck, which can cause serious injury or death, even when done carefully;
• impact, and anything else that can hurt, injure or leave marks;
• anything new to you: learn about it from reliable sources first, start gently, and check in with each other often.

Not advice

Nothing in the game or on the site is medical, psychological, sexual-health or relationship advice. If you have questions about your health or your relationship, talk to a doctor or another qualified professional.

Your partner and your link code

The game links your account with your partner’s through a link code. Share yours only with the person you want to play with: whoever types it in is linked with you straight away. Once you’ve linked, you both get a new code, so a code works only once. Either of you can unlink at any time; unlinking, or deleting your account, deletes everything the two of you played, for both of you, and can’t be undone.

You play at your own risk. To the extent the law allows, we’re not responsible for what happens when you play a dare (see Liability).

6. Your account

• You can sign in with Google, or with an email address and a password.
• One person per account. Each partner needs their own; don’t share yours, and don’t make one for someone else.
• Give accurate information, including your age confirmation and your gender (the game uses it to show you your part of a dare).
• Choose a nickname that follows the content rules: not someone else’s name, nothing offensive, and nothing that suggests you’re one of our staff.
• Keep your password, and your Google account, safe. You’re responsible for what happens under your account. If you think someone else has got into it, change your password and choose Sign out of all devices in Account, and tell us right away through the contact form.
• The service never emails you, so there’s no password reset link. If you forget your password, ask us through the contact form: we can give you a temporary password, which you replace with your own when you sign in. If you signed up with Google, you can simply sign in with Google instead. An account you made here with an email address and a password can be signed into with Google too, when that address is a Google account, but that resets it (see the Privacy Policy): its password and profile are dropped, and you choose them again. If you’re linked with a partner in the game, you’re then asked whether to keep your progress together or delete it; deleting it unlinks you, which deletes everything the two of you played, for both of you.
• Account, in the game’s menu and in the designer’s account menu, is where you change your nickname and your password, sign out of all your devices, and delete your account.
• Some contributors get extra powers to review and moderate (moderator, admin). We decide who gets a role, and we can change or remove it at any time.

7. Your contributions

In the designer you can write new dares, suggest edits to existing ones, comment, and send reports and feedback. Everything you write or submit there is a contribution.

You keep ownership; we get a licence

You keep whatever rights you have in your contributions. So that we can build and run the game with them, you give us a licence to use them that is:

• worldwide and royalty-free: it applies everywhere, and we don’t pay for it;
• non-exclusive: you can still use your own words elsewhere;
• perpetual and irrevocable: it lasts for good, and you can’t take it back, including after you delete your account;
• sublicensable: we can let others use your contributions for us, for example a company that hosts or publishes the game.

The licence lets us use, copy, edit, adapt, translate, publish and distribute your contributions, in whole or in part, as part of the game and the site. That includes doing so commercially, for example if the game later charges money. You won’t be owed anything for it.

Moral rights

To the extent the law allows, you waive your moral rights in your contributions, such as the right to be named or to object to changes, or, where they can’t be waived, you agree not to invoke them against us.

Credit

We may credit you by your nickname, for example in the changelog. Credit isn’t guaranteed: dares get edited, combined and rewritten, and the credits can change with them.

What you promise

When you submit a contribution, you confirm that:

• it’s your own work, or you otherwise have the right to give us this licence;
• it doesn’t infringe anyone’s copyright or other rights, and doesn’t reveal anyone’s private information;
• it follows the content rules.

Don’t paste in text from books, websites or other games.

How contributions are used

• Contributing is voluntary and unpaid. It doesn’t make you our employee, partner or supplier.
• Reviewers (moderators and admins) decide what makes it into the game. We may edit, combine, refuse or remove any contribution, and we don’t have to use it at all.
• Moderators and admins can see your suggestions and new dares. Your comments can be seen by every signed-in user, with your nickname.
• Once accepted, a contribution becomes part of the game’s content. It stays there even if you later delete your account (the Privacy Policy explains what happens to your name on it).

8. Content rules

These rules apply to everything you write on the service: dares, suggestions, comments, reports, feedback and your nickname. Kink is welcome; harm isn’t. Never post:

• Minors. Anything sexual involving anyone under 18, or anyone described in a way that suggests they’re underage.
• Non-consent. Anything that involves someone who hasn’t agreed to it, or that encourages ignoring a no, a safe word or someone’s limits.
• Animals. Anything sexual involving animals.
• Incest. Sexual content involving family members.
• Real people. Names or details that could identify anyone else: partners, exes, friends, colleagues or public figures.
• Illegal or seriously harmful acts. Anything illegal, or that encourages crime or acts likely to cause serious or lasting harm.
• Hate and harassment. Attacks on people for who they are, threats, bullying, or harassing other contributors, including through @mentions.
• Spam. Ads, self-promotion, links to sell things, or repeated or off-topic posts.

What we do about it

We may edit, hide, refuse or remove any content, and warn, suspend or close accounts, when we believe these rules or these terms have been broken. When we hide or remove something you wrote, we tell you in a notification that it breaks these rules. A suspended account can still sign in, read the designer and play the game, but can’t write anything in the designer: suspending it may also delete its comments and reject what it has waiting for review, and we tell its owner in a notification, with our reason when we give one. Serious cases, such as anything involving minors, may be reported to the authorities.

Reporting

If you see something that breaks these rules or the law, report it: in the designer, use Report… in a dare’s ⋯ menu or the flag on a comment; without an account, use the contact form, saying where it is and why. Tell us whether you think it’s illegal or breaks these rules, and confirm you’re reporting in good faith. We look at every report as soon as we can, and tell you what we decided.

9. Using the service fairly

Use the service the way it’s meant to be used. In particular, don’t:

• use bots, scrapers or other automated tools to sign up, use the service or copy its content;
• attack, probe, overload or disrupt the service, or try to get into accounts, data or systems that aren’t yours;
• get around limits or protections, such as the bot check at sign-in, the limit on link attempts, or what your role allows;
• pretend to be someone else, including us or our staff;
• copy the game’s content to publish or sell it elsewhere;
• use the service for anything illegal.

10. Our content

The game, its name, look and code, and the dares and texts we write ourselves belong to us. Contributions stay their authors’ and we use them under the licence above. You may use the service to play and to contribute; please ask us before using any of it for anything else.

11. Liability

We work to make a good and safe game, but we can’t control what happens between you and your partner.

To the extent the law of the Netherlands allows:

• we’re not liable for what you or your partner do with the dares, or for any harm, injury or loss that comes from playing them;
• we’re not liable for indirect or consequential damage, such as lost profits, lost data or damage to reputation;
• we’re not liable for content written by other users, or for the service being unavailable, interrupted or losing data.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that the law doesn’t allow to be limited, including liability for damage caused by our intent or gross negligence (opzet of bewuste roekeloosheid), or the rights you have as a consumer under mandatory law.

12. Ending things

You can leave at any time

You can stop using the service whenever you like. To delete your account, open Account (in the game’s menu, or the designer’s account menu), choose Delete account and type DELETE: it’s deleted at once, and that can’t be undone. If you’re linked, you’re unlinked first, which deletes what the two of you played, for both of you. You can also ask us through the contact form, signed in or giving your account’s email address so we can tell it’s you, and we’ll delete it within 30 days. The Privacy Policy explains what stays, mainly contributions already accepted into the game.

We can end or suspend your account

We may suspend or close your account, or take away access to parts of the service, if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect other users or the service. We’ll tell you why, unless the law doesn’t allow it or it would put someone at risk. While your account is suspended you can’t contribute or change your nickname (see content rules).

We may also stop the service altogether. If we do, we’ll try to tell you in advance.

When your account ends, the parts of these terms meant to last carry on, such as the licence for your contributions, the liability section, and the law and disputes section.

13. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms as the service grows. When we do, we’ll update the date at the top. If a change matters, for example because it affects your rights or what we do with your data, we’ll ask you to accept the new version in the app. If you don’t agree, you can stop using the service and delete your account.

Small fixes, like typos or clearer wording that doesn’t change what the terms say, apply as soon as we publish them.

14. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of the Netherlands. Disputes go to the competent court in the Netherlands.

If you’re a consumer living in another country, you keep the protection of the mandatory law of the country where you live, and you may also be able to take a dispute to the courts there.

If something’s wrong, please contact us first: most things are quicker to sort out that way.

15. The small print

• If any part of these terms turns out to be invalid, the rest still applies.
• If we don’t enforce part of these terms straight away, we haven’t given up the right to enforce it later.

16. Contact

Questions about these terms, a report, or a request: use our contact form, or write to info@alittlebitofcorruption.com. For how we handle your personal data, see the Privacy Policy.
