🫧 Blob Arena: The Legal Bits

Refund Policy

Every purchase in Blob Arena: gems, skins, or any other cosmetic or item, is final and non-refundable. We do not give refunds, returns, exchanges, or credit for any reason. That includes accidental purchases, unused gems, buyer's remorse, or losing access to your account.

Gems and cosmetics are virtual items with no real-world or cash value. They can't be redeemed for money or transferred. When you confirm a purchase, you're confirming that you understand that the sale is final.

Privacy Policy

I don't have a lawyer, but I can tell you exactly what the game stores, because I wrote it. Here is the whole list.

What I keep

• Your email address and username, once you make an account. The username is the front part of your email, or your Discord handle. It is how signing in works, and it is how I can tell you when there is a new game or a real update to this one.
• Your game record: matches played, kills, deaths, score, best finish and prestiges; your Gem balance and every Gem that has gone in or out of it; the skins and titles you own; your mailbox; and your referral code plus who referred you, if you entered somebody's code.
• What you send through Feedback: your message, anything you attach, the reply address if you typed one, and the technical half you should not have to type out for yourself. That is the page you were on, your browser's user agent string, your window size, your platform, the room code, and the IP address the report arrived from. That last part is what makes a bug reproducible, and it is also what stops one stuck finger sending the same report four hundred times.
• Payments: the amount, the date, Stripe's id for the payment, and any note you write with a tip.

What I never see

Card numbers. Stripe takes the payment on its own pages, and no card detail ever reaches my server or my database.

What protects it

• The keys that can read the database live on the server and are never sent to your browser.
• The database checks every read against the account making it, so your rows are yours. Feedback reports are locked to the server entirely, because they carry other players' email addresses and pictures of their screens.
• Your username is never shown to another player. The only name other people can see is an alias you choose to publish, and blank is the default.

The honest caveat: this is one person's project, not a bank. I do the things above because they are right, and I will keep hardening it as the game grows.

I do not sell your data. Not to advertisers, not to brokers, not to anybody. I never have, and I do not intend to.

What Beta means

Blob Arena is in Beta. That is not a disclaimer I am hiding behind, it is a description of where the game actually is: it is live, it is played, people have spent real money on it, and it is still being built.

So, plainly, what that means for you:

• Everything is subject to change. Prices, rarities, stock limits, melt values, rewards, drop rates and the balance of the game itself can all move while we are in Beta.
• What you own stays yours. A skin you bought or earned does not get taken away because its price or rarity changed later. Where a change would reach backwards into something you already hold, the default is that it does not.
• Purchases are still final. Beta does not make a sale reversible, so please buy at the price on the screen and not on a guess about where it is going. The Refund Policy is unchanged.
• Things will break, and the goal is to fix them. When something goes wrong and it costs you Gems or an item, the intent is to make it right. If you hit something broken, tell me through the feedback button in the menu.

When Beta ends this section changes, and I will not quietly delete it and pretend the rules were always what they became.

Terms of Service

Again I am trying to keep everything simple and real:

• Blob Arena is a game I made for fun, provided as-is. I plan to make changes, updates, and more but that is never a for sure thing.
• Play fair: no cheating, hacking, exploiting bugs, or ruining the game for others. Accounts that do may be suspended or removed.
• Gems and cosmetics are virtual items with no real-world value. They are licensed to you for use in the game. You do not own them, and they cannot be transferred, sold, or cashed out.
• All purchases are final and non-refundable (see the Refund Policy above).
• I might change, pause, or shut down the game or any feature at any time.
• The game is provided with no guarantees, and I'm not responsible for any loss that comes from these changes.
• By playing or making a purchase, you agree to these terms.

If anything on this page does not match what the game actually does, one of the two is a bug. The Feedback tab reaches me.
