Terms of Service

Agreeing to these terms

Oop Town (oop.town, the "Service") is run by an independent developer based in Texas, USA ("we", "us"). By playing, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

You must be at least 13 to play. If you're under the age of adulthood where you live, a parent or guardian should agree to these terms with you.

It's all pretend

Every item dropped, every mess, and every "Oop Air" flight in the game is make-believe. Don't throw, drop, or dump anything from an aircraft, vehicle, or anywhere else in real life, and don't use the game to target or harass real people or places. Real towns appear only as playful game boards, and their mess is imaginary.

Play safely

• Driving: never play while operating a vehicle. Road trip mode is for passengers only. Obey all traffic laws.
• Flying: follow crew instructions and airline device rules. The game doesn't need live flight data or in-flight Wi-Fi.
• Location: stay aware of your surroundings. Don't go anywhere you shouldn't because of the game.

You play at your own risk and are responsible for how and where you use your device.

Acceptable use

Use Oop Town only for lawful purposes and in line with these terms. You agree not to:

• break any applicable law or regulation while using the Service;
• post or send anything harmful, threatening, abusive, hateful, sexual, or otherwise objectionable;
• infringe anyone else's rights, including privacy and intellectual property;
• try to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service, including our servers, database, or admin tools;
• use bots, scripts, or other automated tools to play, inflate scores, flood towns, manipulate leaderboards, or send more requests than a person reasonably could;
• overload, disrupt, or reverse-engineer the Service's servers.

We may block traffic and remove results that we believe come from abuse.

No accounts, no guarantees on progress

Oop Town has no signup. Your progress, crew, and items are stored in your browser. Clearing browser data, switching devices, or using private browsing can erase them, and we usually can't recover them. Ammo, items, perks, lost & found, postcards, and scores are virtual, have no money value, and can't be sold or exchanged for anything real.

We may change game rules, balance, leaderboards, and town data at any time, including resets. We also run "Oop Air" flights ourselves to keep towns lively; those are part of the game.

Who makes what

Players decide which towns they hit, where they aim, which crews they join, what crew facts they write, and what they share. The game supplies the list of possible items, picks random items, and runs Oop Air flights. Crew facts and anything else players write are their own words, not ours, and we don't review them before they appear.

Your content

You keep ownership of what you write. By posting a crew fact or other content, you give us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt, and share it in the game, on trip cards and other shareable cards, and in posts promoting Oop Town.

Don't post anything that includes personal information about anyone (names, addresses, phone numbers), that breaks the acceptable use rules above, that is spam or misleading links, or that copies someone else's work without permission. We can remove any content, at any time, without notice.

Removal requests

If you're a town, local official, business, or anyone else with a concern about something in Oop Town, email support@oop.town and tell us:

• the town or page (an oop.town link is perfect);
• what you'd like removed or changed, such as a crew fact, a postcard, or the town itself;
• how to reach you.

We'll review it promptly and usually remove or adjust it. Towns can ask to be taken out of the game entirely, and we'll block the name from coming back. For copyright complaints, also include the work you own and where it appears in the game.

Names we don't own

Town names, airports, airline codes, flight numbers, and place facts are used only to describe places and trips. Oop Town isn't affiliated with or endorsed by any town, government, airport, airline, or road authority. Postcard facts are for fun and may be wrong. Crew-written facts are the views of the players who wrote them, not ours. Nothing in the game is a claim about how clean, safe, or well-run any real place is.

Our intellectual property

The Oop Town name, the Oop suitcase mascot, "Oop happens", the artwork, the game content, and the code belong to us and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may freely share your trip cards, other game cards, and town links, including on social media. Don't copy the game, or use our name or branding in connection with any product or service, or in a way that suggests we endorse something, without our written permission.

Disclaimer

Oop Town is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted service. Location, routes, distances, and town data may be inaccurate. The game may change or stop at any time.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we're not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, progress, use, or goodwill, resulting from:

• your use of, or inability to use, the Service;
• the conduct or content of other players or any third party;
• any content obtained from the Service;
• unauthorized access to or changes to your data or transmissions.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to US $50. Some places don't allow these exclusions or limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

You agree to cover us against claims caused by your misuse of the Service or your breach of these terms, including anything you post.

Termination

You can stop playing anytime. We may suspend or end anyone's access immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including a breach of these terms. When access ends, your right to use the Service ends too. Parts of these terms that by their nature should continue (your content license, our intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, and governing law) still apply afterward.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Collin County, Texas.

If you live in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another place with mandatory consumer protection laws, nothing in these terms takes away the rights those laws give you, including any right to bring a claim in your local courts.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll post changes on this page and update the date at the top. For significant changes, we'll show a notice in the game at least 30 days before they take effect. Continuing to play after changes take effect means you accept them.
