Terms of Use

Last updated: June 18, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Sand Pit Online (the "Service") at https://sand-pit.io, operated by an individual independent developer ("we", "us", or "our"). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement and that any information you provide is accurate.

2. Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Upload, share, or create content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing, hateful, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;
  • Violate any applicable law or the rights of others, including intellectual property and privacy rights;
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or our systems;
  • Interfere with, disrupt, or place undue load on the Service, including via automated scraping, bots, or denial-of-service activity;
  • Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security or rate-limiting features, or with the advertising displayed on the Service;
  • Misrepresent your identity or impersonate any person or entity.

4. User Content

"User Content" means the substances, pits, interactions, names, descriptions, and other material you create, upload, or share through the Service. You retain ownership of your User Content.

By submitting User Content, and especially by choosing to share it publicly, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, and make available that User Content for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Service. Because the Service is designed for sharing, you also grant other users the ability to view, download, and build upon User Content you make public. This license continues for content that others have downloaded even after you delete the original.

You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content and that it does not violate these Terms or any law. We do not pre-screen User Content but may remove or disable access to any content at our discretion.

5. Intellectual Property

The Service itself, including its software, design, branding, and original content (excluding User Content), is owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our trademarks, logos, or branding without our prior written permission.

6. Third-Party Services and Advertising

The Service uses third-party services, including Google AdSense (advertising), Google sign-in and reCAPTCHA, and Amazon Web Services (hosting and email). Your use of those features may be subject to the third parties' own terms and privacy policies. The Service displays advertising, and you agree not to interfere with or obscure that advertising. See our Privacy Policy for details on data handling.

7. 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, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that any content or data will be preserved. The Service is a free, hobbyist project and may change or be discontinued at any time.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your User Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or the rights of any third party.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the operator resides, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree that any dispute will be resolved in the courts located there, except where applicable law grants you the right to bring a claim in your local jurisdiction.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
