Terms of Service for BFFN

Last Updated: June 2, 2025

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of BFFN ("the Game"), developed and operated by blueGames Studio ("we," "our," or "us"). By creating an account or playing the Game on any platform (PC via Steam or Epic Games Store, iOS, or Android), you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Age Requirements

To use BFFN, you must meet the minimum age of digital consent in your country or have verified parental consent. Players under the required age will be granted a special account with limited features until they reach the required age.

2. Account Usage

Each player is allowed one account for personal use. You are strictly prohibited from:

  • Sharing your account with others
  • Selling or transferring your account
  • Creating multiple accounts to bypass restrictions or sanctions

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.

3. User-Generated Content

Users are solely responsible for any content they submit, including nicknames and messages. We do not pre-screen all content and are not responsible for user behavior. Offensive, vulgar, hateful, or inappropriate names are strictly prohibited. Some names may be pre-filtered, but we reserve the right to change or remove nicknames at our discretion.

4. Prohibited Behavior

You may not:

  • Cheat, hack, or modify the Game
  • Harass, insult, or threaten other players
  • Use hate speech or discriminatory language
  • Spam or promote external content
  • Exploit bugs or loopholes
  • Sabotage gameplay or intentionally disrupt others' experience
  • Remain inactive or leave matches prematurely on a regular basis

Failure to follow these rules may result in sanctions, including warnings, temporary bans, or permanent account suspension.

5. Enforcement and Sanctions

We reserve the right to take appropriate action if you violate these Terms. Depending on the severity of the offense, this may include:

  • Warnings
  • Temporary restrictions
  • Permanent account suspension

Serious violations (such as cheating, harassment, or exploiting bugs that affect others) may result in immediate suspension on the first offense.

6. Payments and Refunds

All in-game purchases and refunds are processed through the respective platform (Steam, Epic Games Store, Google Play Store, or Apple App Store). We do not process payments or issue refunds directly.

If a user obtains a refund through the platform in a manner we deem abusive (e.g., repeated chargebacks or refunding after significant in-game use), we reserve the right to remove any refunded items, currency, or progression from their account. In cases of clear abuse, we may suspend or permanently ban the user's account.

7. Data Management and Deletion

You may delete your account at any time from the in-game settings or by contacting us at contact@blue.games. Account data is retained only while your account is active or until you request deletion.

8. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Game if you breach these Terms. If your account is terminated, you lose access to all in-game items and progress without compensation.

9. Governing Law

These Terms shall be interpreted and enforced according to the applicable laws of your local jurisdiction. Disputes will be handled in accordance with those laws.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Game is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free gameplay.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of data, virtual items, or account access.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability where such limitation is not allowed under applicable law, including liability for fraud, gross negligence, or injury caused by defective digital services.

12. License Grant

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Game for personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes only. You do not acquire any ownership rights.

13. Updates to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Game or applicable laws. If changes are significant, we will notify you via in-game message or update prompt. Continued use of the Game means you accept the updated Terms.

14. Region-Specific Terms

European Union (EU): If you are a resident of the EU, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to data access, correction, deletion, and portability. You also have the right to object to data processing and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

United States (California and COPPA): California residents may exercise their rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect and request deletion. If you are under 13, parental consent is required under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Restricted accounts are provided for players under this age.

You may create and share non-commercial fan content (e.g., artwork, memes, videos) based on BFFN. This content must:

  • Be clearly unofficial and not use our logo or branding to imply endorsement
  • Not be sold or monetized unless it involves gameplay videos as described above
