3. Beta Service and Future Changes

You acknowledge that the Service may be offered in a beta or early-access phase and is currently provided free of charge. Slideparty reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice. Slideparty reserves the right to introduce fees for the use of the Service or certain features in the future, including through a third-party payment provider (currently planned: Polar.sh). Continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

4. User Accounts and Authentication

To access certain features, you may need to create an account. Authentication is handled by Clerk, a third-party authentication provider. You agree to provide accurate information and keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Your email address will not be visible to other users within the Service. Authorized administrators of Slideparty will have access to user email addresses for administrative, support, and communication purposes. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details on data handling.

Minimum age: you must be at least 16 years old to create an account or take part in a party. We ask for the month and year you were born before an account is created; they are used for that check only and are not stored. If we learn that an account belongs to someone younger, we delete it and its data.

5. User Conduct and Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for your conduct and any data, text, images, presentations, voice communications, or other content (“User Content”) that you submit, post, display, or transmit via the Service. You agree to:

• Respect other users and refrain from harassment, abuse, or discriminatory behavior.
• Not submit any illegal, harmful, offensive, or infringing content.
• Not enter sensitive personal information, personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, passwords, or confidential information in any text field, slide, topic, or voice exchange. The content created within the Service cannot be considered secure.
• Not post, publish or otherwise share another player's deck, name or content outside the party without their permission, including exports you made of it.
• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
• Not attempt to interfere with the proper functioning of the Service.

6. Voice Chat and User-Generated Content

The Service includes peer-to-peer (P2P) voice chat functionality powered by WebRTC. Voice communications travel directly between participants' browsers and are not routed through, recorded, or stored by Slideparty servers. Slideparty acts solely as a signaling server to establish the P2P connection.

Slideparty is not responsible for the content of voice exchanges between users, nor for any User Content created within the Service. Users are solely responsible for what they say and create during party sessions.

7. Content Security Disclaimer

The content created, shared, and displayed within the Service (including slides, images, text, and topics) cannot be considered secure. Content may be visible to all participants in a party room (during the game and, for presented decks, for as long as the party is kept), can be saved by them to their own devices, and is visible to Slideparty administrators. If you publish a public link to a deck, it is visible to anyone who has that link. Users should not input any personally identifiable information (PII), confidential data, or sensitive information into the Service.

8. Intellectual Property and Content Ownership

Service Ownership: Slideparty retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all related intellectual property rights.

Suggested Topics: The topics offered by the topic generator are written by Slideparty and drawn from a curated list. They remain the property of Slideparty, which may reuse them for any purpose, including marketing and public display.

User-Created Content: Topics manually entered by users and slides created by users remain the intellectual property of their creators. By creating content within the Service, you grant Slideparty a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, and display such content solely for the purposes of operating, improving, and promoting the Service. You represent and warrant that your content does not infringe the rights of any third party.

Exports and Public Deck Links: Exports are for your personal use. You may post exports of your own deck anywhere; before posting another player's deck, or anything showing their name, get their permission: their slides are their intellectual property and may contain their personal data. When you turn on a public link, you grant Slideparty a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce and display that deck, and a preview image of it, to anyone who has the link, until you turn the link off or the deck is deleted. We do not list, index or feature public decks, and we will not use one to promote the Service without your separate permission. Images and stickers from Unsplash and Klipy in an export or a public deck remain subject to their licences; keep the photographer credit.

Reporting a Public Deck: If a public deck is illegal or infringes your rights, email hey@slideparty.app with its link and the reason. We review every report, may disable the link, and will tell the deck's owner why.

Copyright Notices and Repeat Infringers: Copyright holders can report infringing material, and users can contest a removal, using the notice and counter-notice procedure in our Copyright Policy. When we receive a valid notice we remove or disable access to the material. Accounts that repeatedly infringe (three valid, uncontested notices in any 12-month period, or sooner for flagrant cases) are terminated under Section 12.

Third-Party Content: Images sourced from Unsplash and GIFs/stickers sourced from Klipy are subject to their respective terms of service and licenses. Users are responsible for complying with those terms.

Third-Party Trademarks: PowerPoint® is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation. Any reference to third-party trademarks is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement.

9. Topic Suggestion Disclaimer

The topic generator suggests prompts at random from a curated list. The suggestions are intended to be humorous and are not vetted for suitability for any particular audience. Slideparty makes no representations or warranties regarding the quality, suitability, or originality of suggested topics.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without any warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. There is no guarantee of uptime, reliability, data retention, or functionality.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including French law and EU regulations), Slideparty, Lab 37, its operator, affiliates, and administrators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (a) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service; (b) any conduct or content of any third party on the Service, including voice chat exchanges; (c) any content obtained from the Service, including suggested topics; or (d) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.

11. Modifications to Terms

Slideparty reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of significant changes by posting the updated Terms on the website and updating the effective date. Your continued use of the Service after such modifications constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Termination

Slideparty may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease.

In particular, we terminate the accounts of repeat copyright infringers as described in our Copyright Policy, and accounts held by anyone under 16.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of France, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of France, in accordance with Articles 42 and 46 of the French Code of Civil Procedure, and in compliance with Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 (Brussels I bis) for EU residents.
