Terms

Who we are

PointRivals (“we”, “us”) is based in the United Kingdom. By making an account you agree to these terms, the game rules below, our community rules and our privacy notice.

Your account

• You must be 18 or over. We ask for your date of birth when you sign up and we don’t make an account for anyone younger.
• One account per person. Don’t share it, sell it or use someone else’s.
• Your username must follow the username rules: 3 to 16 letters, numbers, dots or underscores, and no swearing or impersonation.
• Keep your login safe. You’re responsible for what happens on your account.
• You can ask us to delete your account at any time by emailing admin@pointrivals.com.

Game rules

• Pure skill. Every game is decided by how you play. There are no dice, no loot boxes and no random wins. Everyone in a session gets the same puzzle.
• No betting, ever. You can’t stake money, or anything worth money, on a game or a result. Bragging rights only.
• Play it yourself. No bots, scripts, macros, modified clients, shared accounts or someone else playing for you. Don’t exploit bugs; tell us about them instead.
• Scores are checked. Impossible scores are rejected, and suspicious Daily and Beat Rivo scores are held for review. We can remove scores, rewards, ranks or titles won by cheating.
• Forfeits are for fun. They’re funny, a bit spicy and never dangerous: no drinking, money, stunts or photos of people. Readying up means you accept the session’s forfeit, but nobody can make you do something you’re not comfortable with, and pressuring someone is against the rules.
• Play-any-time sessions give everyone 24 hours. If you don’t play in time you score 0 but the session still counts as played.

Rival Points, Rivals+ and the Shop

• Rival Points (RP) are earned by playing or bought in packs. They can only be spent in the Shop, on cosmetic items. They have no cash value, can’t be swapped for money and can’t be moved between accounts.
• Everything in the Shop is cosmetic. Nothing you buy makes you better at a game.
• Rivals+ is an optional subscription. If you cancel, you keep it until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
• During the alpha, nothing costs real money. Any checkout uses Stripe’s test mode. Never enter real card details.

The alpha

The alpha is an early test. Things will break, change or be reset. Scores, RP, items and progress from the alpha may not carry over to launch. The service is provided as it is, without any promise that it will always be available or free of bugs.

If things go wrong

We can suspend or close accounts that break these terms or the community rules, and remove content that does. If you think we got it wrong, email us and a person will look again.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your rights as a consumer. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
