Terms of use
What you can expect from us โ and what we expect from you. In plain language.
Last updated: July 30, 2026
This is a translation for your convenience. The binding version is the German original.
1. Who we are and what this is
thebeerpong.app is a service of Orion AI LLC (7901 4th St N #26226, St. Petersburg, FL 33702, USA). We provide software for organising and following beer pong tournaments.
Important to understand: we do not run tournaments. We only supply the tool. Whoever runs a tournament is solely responsible for it โ for how it goes, the venue, compliance with the law and any permits, the handling of alcohol, and the protection of minors.
2. Using it without an account
You do not need an account to play in a tournament. You enter a team name and you play. Anyone holding a tournament's secret admin code can record results โ so treat it as confidential.
3. Organiser account
You are responsible for your account credentials and for what happens through them. One account per person or organisation; no false identities and no names that mislead others.
Your public address (thebeerpong.app/yourname) must not infringe anyone else's rights. In cases of obvious abuse โ squatting on someone else's brand name, for instance โ we may change it or suspend the account.
4. Content you upload
You remain responsible for team names, descriptions, logos and images. You confirm that you hold the necessary rights. You grant us the simple right to display that content as part of the service โ nothing beyond that.
The following are not allowed:
- unlawful, abusive, discriminatory or threatening content
- content that infringes third-party rights (trade marks, copyright, personality rights)
- advertising for things that have no place here
We do not review content in advance, but we remove what is reported to us and clearly breaks these rules.
5. API and automation
Organisers may use our API. API keys are personal and must be kept secret. A limit of 600 requests per minute per key applies; for live updates use the stream we provide rather than polling continuously.
Not allowed: circumventing limits, creating accounts automatically, reading other organisers' data, load testing without prior arrangement.
6. Availability
We run the service with care, but we promise no particular availability. There can be maintenance windows, outages and data loss. For a tournament where a lot is at stake, keep a sheet of paper as a fallback โ that is not a joke, it is honest advice.
7. Cost
Using the tournament software is free. If an organiser charges an entry fee, we settle the payment through the payment provider Stripe: the money goes directly to the organiser and we retain a 5% platform fee, which is shown to you before you pay. Only what is clearly marked as paid, and which you expressly agree to, ever costs anything.
8. Entry fees and refunds
Your contract for taking part is with the organiser, not with us. They set the price, what you get, and the refund rules, and they are responsible for invoices, taxes and running the event. We only provide the technical settlement.
If an entry is refunded in full or in part, we refund our platform fee pro rata. For disputes about entry, prices or cancellations, contact the organiser.
9. Liability
We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, and for damage arising from injury to life, body or health. Otherwise our liability is limited to foreseeable damage typical of this kind of contract.
We are not responsible for what actually happens at a tournament: drinking, injuries, damage to property, arguments over results or prizes. That sits with the organiser and the people taking part.
10. Ending it
You can stop at any time and ask for your account to be deleted. We may suspend or delete accounts where these terms are seriously breached โ as a rule after talking to you first.
11. Changes
We may change these terms where there is a genuine reason to. We tell registered organisers about material changes by email. If you keep using the service afterwards, the new terms apply.
12. Governing law
The law of the State of Florida, USA applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer protection in your country of residence is unaffected: if you live as a consumer in Switzerland or the EU, you can always rely on the protections of your home law and bring a claim there.
