Terms of Service

1 Acceptance of Terms

By using KiteUp, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please close this tab and return to your regularly scheduled doomscrolling. No hard feelings.

2 Description of Service

KiteUp is a web application that helps you:

• Create challenges (the "I bet I can't do X" kind)
• Complete challenges (the "I actually did X!" kind)
• Compete with friends (the "I did X better than you" kind)
• Accumulate points that have absolutely no monetary value

Basically, it's a productivity app disguised as a game, or a game disguised as productivity. We're not sure which. Lawyer says we're a "gamified task management platform." We say we're just here to have fun.

3 User Accounts

To use KiteUp, you must:

• Create an account (with a real email, not fake@gmail.com)
• Be at least 13 years old (or have parental permission and a really chill lawyer)
• Not be a robot (CAPTCHAs are hard, we know)

You are responsible for your account. If someone else logs in as you and completes challenges in your name, that's... actually kind of our problem, not yours. We'll figure it out.

4 Be Excellent To Each Other

We have exactly one rule: Don't be a jerk. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Don't create inappropriate challenges (use your brain)
• Don't submit fake completions (we trust you, please don't ruin this)
• Don't spam other users (unless they asked for spam, which is weird)
• Don't hack us (we're fragile and easily startled)

5 Intellectual Property

The KiteUp name, logo, and all related content are owned by us. You don't get to use them to pretend you're us. That's identity theft, which is illegal, and also just rude.

User-generated content (challenges, profiles, etc.) belongs to you, but you grant us the right to display it. Don't like that? Don't create content. Simple economics.

6 Points, Badges, and Virtual Rewards

Similarly, badges, achievements, and any other virtual rewards are purely decorative. They don't give you special powers. They definitely don't make you cool. (But you were probably cool to begin with.)

7 Limitation of Liability

If KiteUp somehow ruins your life (e.g., you spent so much time completing challenges that you forgot to eat, or you got into a real-world fistfight over points), we're sorry, but we're not paying your medical bills. Please don't sue us. The developer's hourly rate is embarrassingly low.

8 Changes to These Terms

We can change these terms at any time. If we do, we'll either email you or just update this page and hope you notice. We'll try to make changes not evil, but we can't promise anything. Legal stuff is hard.

9 Termination

We can terminate your account if you violate these terms. We'll try to warn you first, but in cases of extreme jerk-ness, we reserve the right to ban you immediately. The developer's banhammer is always sharp.
