Terms of service

Effective July 19, 2026

These terms govern your use of The Blue Line website, browser game, paid matchmaking, replay tools, and related services. By using the service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

Free play and paid play

Free play does not require an account or wallet. Paid matchmaking is an optional head-to-head skill competition using USDC on Base. Paid matches are also governed by the Paid Match Rules, which form part of these terms.

Eligibility

You must be legally capable of entering this agreement. To enter a paid match, you must be at least 18 and legally permitted to participate in a paid skill competition where you are located. The service is not offered where prohibited or restricted. You are responsible for determining whether your use is lawful and for any taxes or reporting obligations.

Your wallet and transactions

You control your wallet, private keys, approvals, and transactions. The Blue Line will never ask for a seed phrase or private key. Wallet signatures used to sign in do not move funds, but onchain transactions can be irreversible and can incur network fees. Review the chain, contract, stake, opponent, rake, and refund window before signing.

Paid match settlement

Each player funds their own seat in the settlement contract. The canonical replay determines the result; a client-reported score is not accepted as settlement authority. A decisive result pays the pot less the displayed rake, a draw returns each player’s stake, and the contract provides the refund paths described in the Paid Match Rules. Smart contracts, wallets, networks, RPC providers, and software can fail or become unavailable.

Fair play

You may not cheat, automate controls, exploit defects, tamper with the client or protocol, submit false data, coordinate a false replay, interfere with another player, evade access restrictions, attack the service, or use it for unlawful activity. We may restrict service access when reasonably necessary to protect players or the service. We cannot redirect or confiscate funds held by the settlement contract outside its programmed rules.

Public results and broadcasts

Selected match and tournament facts may be published through The Blue Line website or official social accounts, including club names, scores, stakes, replay references, and public settlement transactions. Automated commentary may add presentation and personality, but result facts come from verified game records. We do not associate a participant’s social handle with a wallet without express permission.

Content and intellectual property

The service, game code, visual design, names, logos, and other content are owned by The Blue Line or its licensors. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive right to use the service for its intended purpose. You may not copy, sell, sublicense, reverse engineer, or commercially exploit the service except where applicable law expressly permits it.

Third-party services

The service depends on third parties such as wallet providers, Reown, Base, USDC, RPC providers, hosting providers, block explorers, and X. Their terms and privacy practices apply to their services. Links to third-party services are provided for convenience and do not make us responsible for their availability, security, or content.

Tokens and information

References to tokens, rewards, prizes, or future features are product information, not financial, investment, legal, or tax advice and not a promise of value or availability. Features and economics may change before release. Do not acquire or use a token based on an expectation of profit or a guarantee from The Blue Line.

Availability and changes

The service may be updated, interrupted, suspended, or discontinued. We may change these terms by posting an updated version and effective date. Material changes apply prospectively. Continued use after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.

Disclaimers and liability

The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties and are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost data, wallet compromise, network failure, or losses caused by third-party services. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded or limits mandatory consumer rights.
