Game Set Mahj Terms of Service

Welcome to Game Set Mahj. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Game Set Mahj LLC, a Colorado limited liability company located at 410 17th St, Denver, CO 80202 ("Game Set Mahj," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account, accessing, or using our website at gamesetmahj.com or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Please read these Terms carefully. They include important provisions about how the Service works, your rights, our liability, dispute resolution by binding arbitration, and a class action waiver. If you don't agree to these Terms, please don't use the Service.

1. About Game Set Mahj

Game Set Mahj is an online platform that helps American mahjong players coordinate games, organize groups, manage RSVPs, and communicate with each other. We provide tools — but we don't host or facilitate the actual mahjong games, which happen in person between users.

Game Set Mahj is a coordination platform, not a service provider. We don't vet users, organize events, host games, or take responsibility for what happens when users meet in person. We're like a calendar and address book for mahjong groups, not a host or organizer.

2. Eligibility

To use the Service, you must:

• Be at least 13 years old. If you're between 13 and 17, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to use the Service, and your parent or guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf.
• Be at least 18 years old to use any paid features of the Service.
• Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.
• Not be barred from receiving the Service under applicable law.
• Provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account, including a valid date of birth.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us at hi@gamesetmahj.com.

3. Your Account

3.1 Account creation

To use most features of the Service, you'll need to create an account. We use email-based magic link authentication and may add other methods (such as password and Google sign-in) over time. You're responsible for keeping your account credentials and email account secure.

3.2 Account responsibility

You're responsible for everything that happens under your account, including content you post, RSVPs you make, and groups you join or create. If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, contact us at hi@gamesetmahj.com immediately.

3.3 Accuracy of information

You agree to provide accurate information in your profile and to keep it current, including your name, date of birth, contact information, and location details. Don't impersonate other people or misrepresent who you are.

3.4 One person, one account

Each account is for one person. Don't share your account with others or use someone else's account.

4. The Service: What Game Set Mahj Does and Doesn't Do

4.1 What we do

We provide tools for users to:

• Create and manage mahjong groups
• Schedule games and events
• Send invitations to other users
• Track RSVPs and coordinate items to bring
• Communicate with group members through chat features
• View calendars, game histories, and dashboards across multiple groups
• Manage multi-table events and table assignments

4.2 What we don't do

Game Set Mahj is a coordination tool, not a service provider. Specifically, we don't:

• Vet, screen, verify, or background-check users beyond basic email and age verification
• Organize, host, sponsor, or supervise actual mahjong games or in-person meetings
• Provide game venues, equipment, food, drinks, or supervision
• Take responsibility for what users do at, before, after, or because of in-person gatherings
• Resolve disputes between users about games, money, behavior, or anything else
• Guarantee that users will show up, follow rules, behave well, or be who they say they are

5. In-Person Meetings and Interactions Between Users

This is one of the most important sections of these Terms. Please read it carefully.

5.1 Real-world meetings happen at your own risk

Game Set Mahj helps you connect with other users, but any in-person meetings, mahjong games, or other interactions you have with other users happen entirely at your own risk. You acknowledge and agree that:

• Meeting people in person — even people you've connected with online — carries inherent risks, including risk of injury, theft, harassment, illness, property damage, and conduct you may find offensive or upsetting.
• Game Set Mahj does not verify the identity, character, criminal history, intentions, or trustworthiness of any user. The fact that someone has a Game Set Mahj account is not an endorsement of any kind.
• It is your responsibility to take reasonable precautions when meeting other users, including: verifying who you're meeting, choosing safe meeting locations, sharing your plans with someone outside the group, and trusting your instincts if something feels wrong.
• Hosts are responsible for the safety of their own homes or chosen meeting locations. Game Set Mahj does not inspect, approve, or insure any meeting venue.
• If something goes wrong at a meeting — whether injury, theft, conflict, or anything else — that is between you and the other parties involved. Game Set Mahj is not responsible.

5.2 Assumption of risk and release

By using the Service, you knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks associated with meeting other users in person, attending or hosting mahjong games, and any related activities. You release Game Set Mahj from any and all claims, damages, demands, losses, costs, and expenses (including legal fees) arising out of or relating to any in-person interaction with other users, whether the harm was foreseeable or not, and whether or not Game Set Mahj knew or should have known about any risk.

5.3 Specific topics: alcohol, gambling, food, minors, and travel

If your group involves any of the following, you and the other participants — not Game Set Mahj — are responsible for compliance with applicable laws and for managing risk:

• Alcohol service or consumption
• Wagering, betting, or playing for money or anything of value (gambling laws vary significantly by state and locality)
• Food service, including managing food allergies and food safety
• The presence of minors at gatherings, including supervision and age-appropriate environments
• Travel, transportation, or carpooling between users

Game Set Mahj does not encourage, facilitate, or take responsibility for any of these activities.

6. Code of Conduct

To keep Game Set Mahj a welcoming community, you agree not to:

• Harass, threaten, intimidate, stalk, or abuse any other user
• Discriminate against any user based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other protected characteristic
• Post or share content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit, hateful, or that infringes on others' rights
• Impersonate any person or entity
• Attempt to access accounts, data, or features you're not authorized to access
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, servers, or networks
• Use the Service for any illegal purpose
• Solicit, scam, or attempt to defraud other users
• Use the Service to send spam or unsolicited commercial messages
• Scrape, copy, or systematically collect data from the Service without our written permission
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service
• Use the Service to facilitate any activity that violates applicable law, including illegal gambling

We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action against anyone who violates these rules, including suspending or terminating accounts.

7. User Content

7.1 What you post is yours

Anything you post on Game Set Mahj — including profile information, photos, group descriptions, messages, comments, and other content ("User Content") — remains your property. You don't transfer ownership of your content to us by using the Service.

7.2 License you grant to Game Set Mahj

By posting User Content, you grant Game Set Mahj a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, display, distribute, and create derivative works from your User Content for the purpose of operating, providing, improving, and promoting the Service. This license continues even if you stop using the Service, but only with respect to content you previously posted.

7.3 Your responsibility for User Content

You're solely responsible for the content you post and the consequences of posting it. You represent and warrant that:

• You have all necessary rights to the content you post
• Your content doesn't violate any law or infringe any third party's rights
• Your content is accurate and not misleading
• You have permission from any people whose images or information appear in your content

7.4 Content moderation

We don't pre-screen User Content, but we may review, remove, or modify content that violates these Terms or that we believe is harmful, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate. We're not obligated to monitor User Content, and we make no guarantees about the accuracy or quality of content posted by users.

7.5 Reporting violations

If you see content that violates these Terms or makes you concerned about another user's behavior, please report it to us at hi@gamesetmahj.com. We'll review reports and take action as we deem appropriate.

8. Group Hosts and Members

8.1 Hosts

Users who create groups ("Hosts") are responsible for managing their groups, including approving members, scheduling games, and maintaining a respectful environment. Hosts have additional permissions, including the ability to remove members and edit group settings.

8.2 Hosts are not Game Set Mahj employees, agents, or partners

Hosts are users of the Service. They're not employees, agents, partners, or representatives of Game Set Mahj. Anything a Host says or does — including statements about games, fees, expectations, or anything else — is the Host's responsibility, not ours.

8.3 Members

Users who join groups ("Members") agree to follow group-specific rules established by Hosts, in addition to these Terms. Members can leave groups at any time.

8.4 Money and payments between users

If users exchange money for any reason — splitting costs, paying for refreshments, contributing to prizes, paying for lessons, or anything else — those transactions are between the users involved. Game Set Mahj is not a party to and takes no responsibility for any payment, debt, or financial arrangement between users.

9. Paid Services and Payment Terms

Some features of the Service may require payment. Currently, Game Set Mahj is free to use during early access. We may introduce paid features in the future, including subscription tiers for hosts running multiple groups and organizational accounts.

9.1 Founding members

Users designated as "founding members" — generally the first 1,000 members — receive specific benefits as described on the Service or in their welcome communications. Founding member benefits are subject to these Terms and may be modified at our discretion, except that we will honor any specific commitments we make in writing about founding member pricing or feature access, including any "free for life" commitments made at signup.

9.2 Future paid features

If we introduce paid features, we'll provide clear pricing information before you're charged. By subscribing or making a purchase, you agree to pay all applicable fees. Payments are processed by third-party providers (such as Stripe), and you authorize us and our payment providers to charge your selected payment method.

9.3 Refunds

Unless required by law, we generally don't offer refunds. We may make exceptions at our discretion. Specific refund policies for paid features will be communicated when those features launch.

9.4 Cancellation

You can cancel any subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period; you won't be charged again, but you also won't receive a partial refund for unused time.

9.5 Price changes

We may change our prices for new sign-ups at any time. For existing subscribers, we'll provide reasonable advance notice (at least 30 days) before any price increase.

10. Intellectual Property

10.1 Our intellectual property

The Service, including its code, design, logos, brand elements, trademarks, content (other than User Content), and underlying technology, is owned by Game Set Mahj LLC and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. "Game Set Mahj," the Game Set Mahj wordmark, and related marks are trademarks of Game Set Mahj LLC.

10.2 Limited license to you

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. This license doesn't allow you to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or commercially exploit any part of the Service.

11. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information. By using the Service, you also agree to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The Privacy Policy is available at gamesetmahj.com/privacy.

12. Termination

12.1 Your right to terminate

You can stop using the Service at any time. You can delete your account directly through the Service, or request that we delete your account by contacting us at hi@gamesetmahj.com. Account deletion is described in more detail in our Privacy Policy.

12.2 Our right to terminate

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if we believe you've violated these Terms, if your activity could harm us or other users, if we're required to do so by law, or for any other reason at our discretion. We'll generally try to provide notice when reasonable, but we're not required to.

12.3 Effect of termination

If your account is terminated, you'll lose access to the Service and any associated content. We'll handle your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including User Content licenses, intellectual property, disclaimers, limits of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — will continue to apply.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GAME SET MAHJ DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WE DON'T WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE FROM HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DON'T WARRANT THAT INFORMATION ON THE SERVICE IS ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR CURRENT.

WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES ABOUT OTHER USERS, THEIR CONDUCT, THEIR HONESTY, OR THE SAFETY OF MEETING THEM. ANY INTERACTION YOU HAVE WITH OTHER USERS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

GAME SET MAHJ AND ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF WE'VE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU'VE PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions don't allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of these limits may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Game Set Mahj LLC and its officers, members, employees, agents, and affiliates from any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use or misuse of the Service
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your User Content
• Your interactions with other users, including in-person meetings, mahjong games, and any harm or damage that occurs at or in connection with such interactions
• Your violation of any law or any third party's rights

16. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS.

16.1 Informal resolution first

If you have a dispute with us, we'd like to try to resolve it informally first. Please contact us at hi@gamesetmahj.com and describe the issue. We'll work in good faith to resolve disputes within 60 days of receiving your notice. Most disputes can be resolved this way.

16.2 Binding arbitration

If we can't resolve a dispute informally, you and Game Set Mahj agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service ("Dispute") will be resolved by binding arbitration, except as set forth below. This means that you and Game Set Mahj waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in any class action or representative proceeding.

The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000, under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Denver, Colorado, or, at your election, by phone or videoconference. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding.

16.3 Small claims court exception

Notwithstanding the above, you may bring an individual claim in small claims court in your county of residence (or, if you're outside the United States, in the small claims court nearest Game Set Mahj's principal place of business) for claims that are within the jurisdiction of small claims court.

16.4 Class action waiver

YOU AND GAME SET MAHJ AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

16.5 30-day opt-out right

You can opt out of this arbitration agreement and class action waiver by sending us written notice at hi@gamesetmahj.com within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms. Your notice should include your name, your account email, and a clear statement that you want to opt out. If you opt out, the rest of these Terms will still apply.

16.6 Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. For any matters not subject to arbitration, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Denver County, Colorado.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll notify you by posting the updated Terms on the Service and, where reasonable, by emailing you. The updated Terms will indicate when they were last revised. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you don't agree to the updated Terms, please stop using the Service and contact us to delete your account.

18. General Provisions

18.1 Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced in these Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Game Set Mahj regarding the Service. They supersede any prior agreements between you and Game Set Mahj on the same subject, including any prior Terms of Service issued under the YoMahj name.

18.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The unenforceable provision will be replaced with an enforceable one that most closely reflects the intent of the original.

18.3 No waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms doesn't waive that right or provision.

18.4 Assignment

You can't assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our written consent. We may assign or transfer these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

18.5 No agency relationship

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or franchise relationship between you and Game Set Mahj.

18.6 Force majeure

We won't be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events outside our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, pandemics, government actions, internet or telecommunications failures, or labor disputes.

18.7 Notices

We may provide notices to you via email, in-app notification, or by posting on the Service. You may provide notices to us by email at hi@gamesetmahj.com or by mail at Game Set Mahj LLC, 410 17th St, Denver, CO 80202.
