Shapefront — Terms of Service

Effective date: June 17, 2026 Last updated: October 5, 2026 Version: 2.1

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Bitlitic LLC, the operator of Shapefront ("we", "us", "the Developer"). By accessing or playing Shapefront ("the Game"), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Game.

1. The Game

Shapefront is a free, browser-based geometric strategy game. The single-player campaign runs entirely in your web browser. We also offer optional online features — signing in to create an account, cloud save, and player-versus- player (PvP) multiplayer — and we show ads to keep the Game free. How we handle data for these features is described in our Privacy Policy.

1A. Accounts

Single-player play requires no account. If you choose to use multiplayer or cloud save, you must sign in, which creates an account that stores your email address, a Firebase user ID, and your game data on our server (see the Privacy Policy). You agree that:

you are old enough to form a binding contract and to consent to this processing where you live (see §1B and the Privacy Policy's children section);
the information you provide is accurate and is yours;
you are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your sign-in credentials secure;
one person may not operate accounts to abuse matchmaking, leaderboards, or rewards.

You may delete your account and its data at any time by emailing support@bitlitic.com (see the Privacy Policy, "Retention and your right to erasure"). We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

1B. Eligibility

The Game's online features and ads are not intended for children under 13 (or the higher minimum age that applies where you live). Do not create an account if you are under that age.

1C. Multiplayer conduct

When using multiplayer, leaderboards, display names, or shared strategies, you agree not to:

cheat, exploit bugs, tamper with game results, or use automated tools to gain an unfair advantage (the server is authoritative; reported client results are not trusted);
use a display name or shared content that is unlawful, infringing, hateful, harassing, sexual, deceptive, or that impersonates another person;
disrupt, overload, probe, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the service or other players' accounts.

We may remove content, reset ratings, and suspend or ban accounts for violations.

1D. Ads

The Game and our website show ads (and may show optional rewarded video ads), served through Google AdSense, to keep the Game free. Before any in-Game ad is requested, you choose between personalized and non-personalized ads, and you may opt out of the "sale/sharing" of personal information; you can change these in Settings → Ad preferences. Rewards from watching ads are granted by our server; attempting to obtain rewards without genuinely viewing an ad is prohibited. See the Privacy Policy §5 for details.

2. License to Play

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to play the Game for your own non-commercial entertainment. You may not:

copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Game except as permitted by its open-source license (if one is published in the repository);
reverse engineer the Game except where permitted by applicable law;
use the Game for any unlawful purpose;
misrepresent the Game or its content as your own work.

3. Your Content and Saved Data

If you are not signed in, strategies, progress, and settings you create are stored locally in your own browser (IndexedDB / local storage); we do not receive or store that data, and clearing your browser data erases it irrecoverably.

If you are signed in, your game data is also stored on our server and keyed to your account, so it can sync across sessions and power multiplayer (see the Privacy Policy). You keep ownership of strategies you author; by using sharing/multiplayer features you grant us the limited license described in the EULA §4 to host and operate them. You can delete this server-side data by deleting your account (Privacy Policy, erasure section).

4. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE GAME IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. YOUR USE OF THE GAME IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE GAME WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR DEVICE, FREE OF DEFECTS, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

5. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

THE DEVELOPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, DEVICE DAMAGE, OR PERSONAL INJURY — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE GAME, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
THE DEVELOPER'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE GAME SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO USE THE GAME — WHICH, FOR THIS FREE GAME, IS ZERO DOLLARS ($0.00 USD).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, the above limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

6. Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge that playing video games carries inherent risks, including but not limited to eye strain, repetitive-strain discomfort, and, for a small number of people, photosensitive seizures triggered by flashing or moving visuals. You voluntarily assume all such risks. If you have a history of photosensitive epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. See the Health & Safety Disclaimer.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Developer from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Game.

8. Release

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you release the Developer from any and all claims, demands, and damages of every kind, known or unknown, arising out of or connected with your use of the Game. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542 with respect to this release.

9. Dispute Resolution; Class Action Waiver

Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Game shall first be attempted to be resolved informally by contacting us (Section 13). If unresolved after 30 days, the dispute shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration, and you waive any right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration, to the extent such waiver is enforceable in your jurisdiction.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

11. Changes to the Game and to These Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Game at any time without notice or liability. We may update these Terms; the "Last updated" date will change and the prior version will be archived (see legal/archive/). Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted.
