1. Scope
These terms apply to your use of Ludo, a free online version of the board game, operated by the person named in the Imprint. By using the site you agree to them.
2. The service
Ludo is free and needs no account. You can create or join a room, play with others in real time, and add computer opponents. It is a hobby project that keeps changing: features may be added, changed or removed at any time.
3. Fair use
Please play nicely. You agree not to:
- use names that are offensive, hateful, unlawful, or that impersonate or identify other people;
- harass other players or deliberately disrupt games;
- cheat, or use bots, scripts or other automation to play, or to bypass the rules or timers;
- attack, overload, probe or scrape the site or the game server, or try to get around technical limits;
- use the service for anything unlawful.
4. Names and public rooms
You are responsible for the name you enter. Names and room hosts are visible to other people, and to anyone browsing public rooms. Hosts can remove players from their lobby, and we may remove rooms or block access if these terms are broken.
5. Availability
The service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. Games run in server memory, so a restart or update can end running games and rooms without notice.
6. Liability
We are fully liable for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and where mandatory law requires it. For slight negligence we are only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations, and then limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this kind of service. Any further liability is excluded, which also applies to the personal liability of employees and agents.
7. Open source
The source code is available in the project repository on GitHub, linked in the footer.
8. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when the service changes. Continuing to use Ludo after an update means you accept the new version.
9. Governing law
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, mandatory consumer protection rules of the country where you live remain unaffected.
