Terms of service.

The rules of the road for using Huddlebase. We’ve kept it short and readable — please read it before you sign up.

Last updated · May 13, 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you (“you”, “your”) and Patrik, a sole proprietor based in the United Arab Emirates (the “Operator”, “we”, “us”), governing your use of the Huddlebase website at huddlebase.com and the web application at huddlebase-app.web.app (together, the “Service”).

By creating an account, joining a session, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Who can use the Service

  • You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
  • If you use the Service on behalf of an employer or organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
  • You must not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under the laws of your country, your country of residence, or any country you connect from.

3. The Service

Huddlebase is a real-time platform for game-driven team sessions, including quiz, social-deduction and icebreaker formats. We design the Service to be self-driving: hosts configure content, share a code, and the platform handles pacing, scoring and reveals. New game formats may be added or removed over time.

The Service is currently in early access. Features may change, break, or disappear without notice as we iterate.

4. Your account

  • You are responsible for the security of your account and password.
  • You must provide accurate information when you sign up and keep it current.
  • You are responsible for everything that happens under your account. Notify us at hello@huddlebase.com immediately if you believe your account has been compromised.
  • One person, one account. Do not share credentials.

5. Pricing

The Service is currently free during early access.

We may introduce paid plans or paid features in the future. If we do:

  • We will give you reasonable advance notice (at least 30 days) before any paid feature you use becomes paid, by email and/or in the Service.
  • You will never be charged automatically without your explicit consent at the time of upgrade. Continuing to use a free tier will never trigger a charge.
  • Paid plans, if introduced, will be governed by additional billing terms presented at checkout.

6. Your content

You retain ownership of the questions, prompts, themes, names and other materials you submit to the Service (“Your Content”). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, transmit and display Your Content solely as necessary to operate the Service for you and for the participants in your sessions.

This licence ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except where retention is required by law or to enforce these Terms.

You represent that:

  • You own Your Content or have the right to submit it.
  • Your Content does not infringe anyone else’s rights or break the law.
  • Your Content does not violate our acceptable use rules below.

7. Acceptable use

Don’t use the Service to:

  • Harass, threaten, defame, dox or bully another person.
  • Submit unlawful, hateful, discriminatory or sexually explicit content, or content involving minors.
  • Distribute malware, phishing links or other harmful code.
  • Infringe anyone’s intellectual-property, privacy or other rights.
  • Attempt to access, probe or compromise the Service or its infrastructure, including circumventing rate limits, scraping, or reverse-engineering protected parts of the app.
  • Use the Service to build a competing product or to train machine-learning models.
  • Resell or sublicense access to the Service without our written permission.
  • Use the Service in a way that violates applicable law, including export controls and sanctions.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules, with or without notice.

8. Our intellectual property

The Service — including its code, design, branding, illustrations, copy and the structure of our game formats — is owned by the Operator and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Service for its intended purpose. No other rights are granted.

“Huddlebase” and the Huddlebase mark and logo are our trademarks. You may not use them without our written permission.

9. Third-party services

The Service runs on Google Firebase. We are not responsible for the practices of any third-party service you reach via links from the Service. When you use a third-party service, you do so under that service’s own terms.

10. Early access — no warranty

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not promise that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any data you submit will be preserved without loss. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will the Operator be liable for:

  • Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages.
  • Loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business opportunities, or data, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
  • Any failure or interruption of the Service caused by a third-party provider, an event of force majeure, or your own equipment or connectivity.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service, under any theory of liability, will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the liability, or (b) USD 50.

Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud or willful misconduct.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the Operator harmless from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Service, (b) Your Content, or (c) your breach of these Terms.

13. Suspension and termination

  • You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time.
  • We may suspend or terminate your access at any time if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you in advance unless doing so would create a security or legal risk.
  • On termination, your right to access the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including sections on Your Content licence, intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, indemnity and governing law) will survive.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will announce them on this page and update the “Last updated” date. For significant changes — for example introducing fees, or changes that meaningfully reduce your rights — we will give you reasonable advance notice (at least 30 days) by email or in the Service. Continued use of the Service after a change becomes effective means you accept the updated Terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought in the courts of the United Arab Emirates, and you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.

If you are a consumer based in the European Union or the United Kingdom, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence.

16. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement — these Terms together with the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
  • Severability — if any provision is unenforceable, the rest of the Terms remain in effect.
  • No waiver — our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
  • Assignment — you may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of the Service.
  • Notices — we may contact you at the email address on your account. You may contact us at hello@huddlebase.com.
