STOMP Terms of Use
Effective date: 11 November 2026
These terms cover STOMP's online features: leaderboards, display names and online games. They are an agreement between you and HTMLGuy LLC ("we", "us"), the publisher of STOMP. The licence to the game itself is in the End User License Agreement, and what data the online features use is in the Privacy Policy. Contact: https://htmlguy.com/contact.
1. Using the online features
The online features are optional. You can switch them off in SETTINGS · ONLINE and keep playing. If you are under the age at which you can agree to terms where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to them for you.
2. Names and what other players see
Your display name and your best scores are shown to other players on public leaderboards and in online games. A game you host is listed with its name and your public IP address so that others can join, and the players in a game you host or join see your display name while you play together.
Choose a name that is not your real name. You are responsible for the name you choose.
The game asks before your name is first shown to other players. Choosing SHOW MY NAME accepts these terms for every profile on that device. Until then, and whenever Publish name & scores is off, other players see a plain name such as "Player 2" instead, and your scores are not sent.
3. Rules
We do not tolerate objectionable names or abusive behaviour. When you use the online features you agree not to:
- choose a name that is offensive, hateful, sexual, threatening, or that pretends to be someone else;
- harass, threaten or share personal information about other players;
- submit fake scores, cheat, or use tools that interfere with other players;
- attack, overload, probe or misuse our services.
A name that breaks these rules is removed from the leaderboards and the list of games, and the account that used it can lose access to the online features. In a game, names go straight between the players' devices: there the host can remove the player, and you can hide the name.
4. Reporting and what we do about it
- Report or hide a name. REPORT A NAME is beside the leaderboards, the list of online games and the lobby. A report hides the name on your device straight away and sends it to us. You can also hide a name without reporting it.
- Anyone can tell us. If you do not play, or want to report something else you believe is illegal, use the contact page. Tell us the name, where you saw it and what is wrong with it.
- Hosts. A host can remove a player from their game.
- How we decide. A name is checked automatically against a word list when it is chosen, and scores are checked automatically for results that cannot be real. A person reviews every report, and only a person removes a name that was accepted or suspends an account. We aim to act on a report within 24 hours.
- What we can do. We may remove a name, a score or a listed game from our services, and suspend an account's online access, when these rules are broken.
- Contact point. Players, and authorities acting under the EU Digital Services Act or similar laws, can reach us through the contact page. We answer in English.
- If it happens to you. Accounts are anonymous, so we cannot write to you. The game tells you when a name is not accepted. You can contact us to ask why we acted and to ask us to look again; a person looks at it, and we answer within one month.
We have no duty to watch what players do, and we are not responsible for what other players do or say.
5. Purchases
- STOMP has one purchase inside the game on phones: FULL GAME. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and it is bought through the store you got the game from (Apple or Google), which handles the payment.
- FULL GAME is a licence to use the extra parts of the game on the store account that bought it and, where the store shares purchases with a family group, on the accounts it shares it with. It has no cash value and cannot be transferred or exchanged.
- Refunds follow the store's refund policy and the rights the law gives you. A refund removes only what the purchase added; nothing you earned by playing is taken away.
- If you move to a new device, RESTORE PURCHASE in the game brings the purchase back through your store account.
6. Changes and availability
Online features may change, pause or end, and some may need the latest version of the game. We will say so in the release notes when a change is significant. The parts of the game that work offline, including what FULL GAME adds, do not depend on our online services.
If we change these terms we update the date above and say so in the release notes. A change does not take away something you have already bought.
7. The rest
The End User License Agreement applies to these terms too, including its sections on warranties, liability and the law that governs the agreement. If part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. Nothing in these terms takes away rights that your local consumer law says cannot be waived.
