Terms of Service – Spherun.com

Last updated: 2026-07-05

§ 1. General provisions

  1. These Terms of Service govern use of the global real-time multiplayer 3D browser game "Spherun" at https://spherun.com (the "Game" or "Service").
  2. The Service is operated by Paweł Pilichowski, a sole proprietorship registered in Poland (the "Service Provider"). Contact: contact@spherun.com.
  3. The Service is available worldwide ("Players" or "Users"). The Game supports Guest Mode and registered accounts.
  4. Use requires internet access and a modern browser with hardware-accelerated 3D rendering (WebGL/WebGPU).

§ 2. Player account and registration

  1. Account creation is voluntary and free. Registration requires a valid email and password. Identity is managed through Zitadel.
  2. Players must keep login credentials confidential.
  3. Guest Mode data is temporary and may be deleted when the browser session ends or cache is cleared.
  4. Bots, automation, cheats, memory manipulation, and any tools that disrupt fair multiplayer play or grant unfair advantage are prohibited.
  5. Anti-cheat and bans: On detected cheating, exploits, injection, or severe toxic behavior the Service Provider may suspend or permanently ban an account, or block access by IP or device/browser fingerprint. Bans for cheating forfeit in-game assets, Gems (when available), and active subscriptions without refund.
  6. Chat code of conduct: The Game provides real-time chat (arena, guilds, private chat for Premium users). Unlawful, abusive, racist, spam, advertising, or external links (especially phishing or malware) are prohibited. The Service Provider does not monitor all messages live but may moderate, filter, delete content, and apply chat-bans or account bans. Users are solely liable for messages they send.

§ 3. Item creator and user-generated content

  1. The Game may offer an item creator for cosmetic content (rolled out in stages).
  2. By submitting a design, the Player warrants it does not infringe third-party copyrights, personality rights, or trademarks.
  3. Upon deployment in the Game, the Player grants the Service Provider a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, modify, and distribute the item within Spherun.

§ 4. Monetization, Gems, and Premium subscriptions

  1. The Game uses a freemium model. Core arena gameplay is free and may include advertising when enabled.
  2. Players may purchase a Premium (PACC) subscription via Stripe. Virtual currency "Gems" sales are planned — when launched, the rules below apply.
  3. Virtual currency (Gems — when available):
    • Gems qualify as a Single-Purpose Voucher (SPV) for VAT purposes.
    • Tax liability arises at the moment of purchase.
    • Gems operate in a strict Closed Loop inside the Game only; no cash-out.
    • Gems are not payment instruments, e-money, or cryptocurrency.
  4. Payments and tax calculation (including EU VAT-OSS and non-EU export of services) are processed by Stripe with Stripe Tax.

§ 5. Right of withdrawal and complaints

  1. Under EU law, the withdrawal right for digital content expires if performance begins with the consumer's express consent before the withdrawal period ends and after being informed of the loss of that right.
  2. Purchasing PACC (and Gems when available) with immediate account credit constitutes full performance. The Player consents to instant delivery and forfeits the 14-day withdrawal right. All sales are final.
  3. Complaints about the Game or billing: contact@spherun.com. Valid complaints are answered within 14 calendar days.

§ 6. Changes to these Terms

  1. The Service Provider may amend these Terms for material reasons (legal changes, new features, security, monetization).
  2. Material changes will be announced at least 14 days in advance by email (for account holders) or via an in-Service notice.
  3. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept the changes, you must stop using the Service and may request account deletion.

§ 7. Limitation of liability

  1. The Game is provided "as is". The Service Provider does not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that the Game will meet every Player's expectations.
  2. The Service Provider is not liable for Guest Mode progress loss, scheduled or unscheduled downtime, network failures on the Player's side, or harm caused by third parties.
  3. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Service Provider's aggregate liability to a Player is limited to the amount actually paid by that Player to the Service Provider in the preceding 12 months (subscriptions, Gems when available).
  4. Nothing in this section excludes liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory law (including EU consumer rights).

§ 8. Minimum age

  1. The Service is intended for users aged 16 or older. Users under 16 may use the Service only with consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
  2. By registering, the Player represents that they meet the age requirement or have the required guardian consent.
  3. The Service Provider may delete an account if it determines the user does not meet age requirements.

§ 9. Public profile information

  1. Nickname, game statistics (e.g. rank, mass, kills), and — for account holders — account creation date, last played activity, and Premium status may be displayed publicly on leaderboards, player profiles, and leader lists visible to other users.
  2. The Player accepts the public nature of the above data as part of the Game's social features. Email addresses are not displayed publicly.
  3. Personal data processing details are set out in the Privacy Policy.
