Terms of Use

SlapTopia

Last updated: 14 August 2026

This document was drafted by an agent and is not legal advice. A lawyer should read it before it is submitted to an app store.

1. Agreement

By playing SlapTopia, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't play — there's nothing to cancel, because there's no account.

SlapTopia is operated by Blacktop Social LLC ("we", "us").

2. What you get

A licence to play the game for your own personal, non-commercial enjoyment. That licence is personal to you, non-exclusive, and revocable.

You may not:

• copy, sell, sublicense, or redistribute the game or its assets;
• reverse-engineer it for the purpose of republishing it, or ship a derivative of it;
• use it to break the law, or to harass anyone.

The game, its art, its audio, its code, and the name SlapTopia are ours or licensed to us. Nothing here transfers ownership of any of it.

3. The leaderboard, and the name you type

SlapTopia has one global, public, all-time leaderboard. The display name you type is published on it, alongside your score and force numbers. See the Privacy Policy for exactly what is stored.

By typing a display name and finishing a run, you are choosing to publish that name.

You must not use a name that:

• is another person's real name, or impersonates anyone;
• is a slur, harassment, sexual content, or a threat;
• is advertising, spam, or a link;
• infringes someone else's trademark or other rights.

We may remove or change any display name, or remove any leaderboard entry, at any time and without notice. We do not undertake to review names before they appear, and a name appearing on the board is not our endorsement of it.

4. Scores are not guaranteed to be genuine

The game runs entirely on your device, and the server accepts what your device reports. Basic checks exist to stop scripted nonsense; they cannot prove any score was earned by playing.

Read the leaderboard as a scoreboard, not as a record book. We make no representation that any entry on it is genuine, and we may remove entries we believe are not.

Deliberately submitting fabricated scores — by modifying the game, calling the API directly, or otherwise — is a breach of these terms, and we may remove your entries and block further submissions.

5. Purchases and unlockable worlds

Test checkout is live. The shop currently uses Stripe's sandbox: test cards can exercise the complete purchase flow, but no real money moves. Real purchases will not open until the Stripe account is activated and the site switches to live keys.

Some worlds unlock by playing. Some can also be bought. Buying is always a shortcut, never the only way in — every world that is for sale can still be earned by playing, and the game itself stays free.

Free trial runs. A world you have not earned yet can be played a few times before it asks for anything. Those runs count on the leaderboard and toward your progress exactly like any other run. When they are used up, that world closes again until you earn it or buy it.

Paying on the web

• Payments on this site are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details; Stripe does, under its own terms. We receive the email address you give at checkout, the amount, and whether the payment succeeded.
• Prices are shown before you pay, in US dollars. Applicable sales tax or VAT is calculated at checkout.
• What you are buying is a permanent, non-transferable entitlement to cosmetic game worlds for personal use. It is not a subscription; there is nothing to cancel.
• Refunds. Digital goods delivered immediately are not generally refundable, but we would rather you were happy than right: email support@blacktop.social within 14 days and we will refund you. A refunded purchase stops being restorable to new devices. Nothing here limits any statutory refund or cancellation right you have where you live.

Your restore code

• After a purchase we immediately show you a restore code in the game and email it to the address you gave Stripe at checkout. Stripe can separately email your payment receipt. Keep the restore code: it is how you get your worlds back on another browser or after clearing your storage — and browsers do forget, so the emailed copy is the one that survives.
• Treat it like a receipt, not a password. Anyone who has it can add those worlds to their browser, so there is a limit on how many devices one code may be used on. Past that limit, email us.
• Lose it and we can find it from your Stripe receipt — email support@blacktop.social.
• We do not restore purchases from an email address alone, because that would let anyone who knows your address take them.

Purchases inside an app

Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are handled by that store, under that store's terms and its refund policy; we do not process those payments and never see those payment details. App-store purchases and web purchases are separate — buying on the web does not unlock anything inside an app-store build, and the reverse is also true.

Other things worth saying plainly

• Content in a paid world may change, and a world may be modified or withdrawn — including for legal or app-store-compliance reasons. If we withdraw a world you paid for, email us.
• Entitlements are also kept on your device so the game works offline. The game is client-side and we do not pretend the lock is unbreakable: circumventing it breaches these terms, but it is not a security boundary and we do not treat it as one.

6. slapd, and your hardware

slapd is an optional helper that reads your Mac's built-in motion sensor so that hitting the laptop flaps your citizen.

Read this part properly:

• The game measures the force of an impact. It does not ask you for one, reward one, or make a harder hit worth anything mechanically. Hitting harder buys you nothing in the game, deliberately and by design.
• You are responsible for your own hardware. Striking a computer can damage it, and damage caused by hitting your device is not covered by us, and is very unlikely to be covered by your manufacturer's warranty.
• Do not hit a device that isn't yours. Do not hit a device someone is holding.
• Keyboard, touch, and mouse input play the whole game. The accelerometer is a novelty, not a requirement.

7. Email, if you sign up

The game has an optional signup on its results screen that asks for an email address. If you leave one, you are asking us to tell you when a new world opens.

• It is not a condition of anything. The game is free with or without it, every world can be played, earned and bought without ever giving us an address, and signing up may unlock optional free bonuses — a thank-you, not a toll.
• We email you when there is a new world, and that is all. It is not a newsletter and there is no drip sequence behind it.
• Every email carries a working unsubscribe link. One press and we stop; you never have to reply, log in, or give us anything else.
• We do not sell it and we do not share it for anyone else's marketing. This list, the SMS list in section 8, the SPICY list in section 9, and the buyer records in section 5 are four separate things, and none of them feeds another.
• What we store and why is in the Privacy Policy.

8. Text messages, if you sign up

If you enter your phone number and tick the consent box on our site, you agree to receive recurring automated promotional text messages from Blacktop Social LLC at that number, including messages sent by autodialer.

• The program is Blacktop Social LLC's, not SlapTopia's. SlapTopia is one of our products. Messages cover our products, launches, updates, and offers — including ones that are not this game.
• Consent is not a condition of purchase, and not a condition of playing. The game is free with or without it: every world can be played and every purchase can be made without ever giving us a number. Signing up may unlock optional free bonuses (like extra free trial runs of locked worlds) — those are a thank-you, not a toll, and nothing you can buy or earn requires them.
• Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply — those are between you and your carrier, not us.
• Reply STOP to unsubscribe at any time, or HELP for help. We stop on STOP. You can also reach a human at support@blacktop.social.
• You confirm you are the subscriber or customary user of the number you enter, and that you are old enough to agree to this where you live. Tell us if the number stops being yours.
• Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
• What we store and why is in the Privacy Policy.

No message has been sent yet. The signup went live on 2026-08-16, but carrier registration is still in progress, so nothing has gone out. Signing up today records your consent and sends you nothing until it does.

9. Telling you about SPICY, if you ask

SPICY is a separate 18+ world on its own site. It is not for sale, and there is nothing on that page to buy. If you leave an email address there — and, if you choose, a phone number — you are asking us to tell you if and when it opens.

• You must be 18 or older to use that site at all, and therefore to ask.
• The email address is one announcement, not a program. We are not running a newsletter, a drip sequence, or a promotional schedule against that list.
• The phone number is optional and is part of the SMS program in section 8, on the same terms and the same consent wording: recurring automated promotional texts from Blacktop Social LLC, message frequency varies, msg & data rates may apply, reply STOP to opt out and HELP for help. The box is unchecked and we refuse the number without it. Leaving the number blank changes nothing else on that page.
• We record that the number came from the SPICY page, separately from numbers given anywhere else, so the two can be treated differently.
• Nothing is gated behind either one. Leaving an address or a number buys nothing, unlocks nothing, and is not a purchase or a reservation. If SPICY never opens, nothing is owed to you.
• Unsubscribe at any time — reply STOP to any text, use the link in any email, or write to support@blacktop.social. What we store and why is in the Privacy Policy.

10. Availability

The game and the leaderboard are provided as-is and may change, break, or go away. The leaderboard is a free service running on infrastructure we do not own; we do not promise it will be reachable, and the game is playable without it.

We may modify or discontinue any part of SlapTopia at any time.

11. Disclaimers and liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• SlapTopia is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
• We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost progress, lost entitlements, or damage to your hardware.
• Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you actually paid us for SlapTopia in the twelve months before the claim, or USD 50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow some of these exclusions, in which case they apply to you only as far as the law permits. Nothing here limits liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, where that limit is not permitted.

12. Termination

You can stop playing at any time. We may stop providing the game, or remove your leaderboard entries, at any time — including for a breach of these terms.

13. Changes

If these terms change materially, the "last updated" date at the top changes with them. Continuing to play after that means you accept the change.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes are subject to the state and federal courts located in New York, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction — without prejudice to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have where you live, which nothing here is intended to displace.
