Terms of Use

Version 2026-09-13

1. Service

Hotspot Cards is a private multiplayer card-game service. Accounts are currently intended for users aged 18 or over. Access may be suspended where necessary for security, abuse prevention, maintenance or breach of these terms.

2. Account responsibilities

You must provide accurate registration information, keep your password confidential and use your own account. Do not attempt to access another person’s account or administrator functions.

3. Rooms and gameplay

Room access is granted on first approval. Approval persists until room access is explicitly revoked or the room is archived. Being removed from an active table because of inactivity or by the host does not by itself revoke approved room membership. Active players who stop communicating with the server for approximately 120 seconds may be removed from the active table. If the host is removed, host status passes to the next active player in join order, wrapping to the first active player if required.

4. Conduct

Do not use chat or usernames for unlawful, abusive, threatening or deliberately disruptive content. Do not attempt to interfere with the service, bypass access controls, scrape private user information or exploit vulnerabilities.

5. Availability

The service is provided on a best-efforts basis. Games, rooms or active table state may be interrupted by maintenance, software updates, network failures or server restarts.

6. Personal information

How personal information is handled is described in the Privacy Notice. The Terms and Privacy Notice are separate documents.

7. Changes

These terms may be updated. Material changes should be brought to registered users’ attention and, where appropriate, renewed acceptance may be required.

8. Law

These terms are intended to be governed by the law of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory rights that apply to you.
