PingoMe Terms of Use

Last updated: July 9, 2026

Welcome to PingoMe, a People-Bingo icebreaker game available at pingome.lovable.app (the "Service"). The Service is operated by Stellarus Intelligence, Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation ("Stellarus," "we," or "us").

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Stellarus. They're written in plain English on purpose — we want you to actually read them.

1. Accepting these Terms

By creating a game, joining a game, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

If you're using PingoMe on behalf of an organization (a school, a workplace, a community group), you're agreeing to these Terms for yourself and confirming you're authorized to use the Service in that setting.

2. Who can use PingoMe

The Service is for people age 13 and up. Children under 13 must not use the Service directly. If you're hosting an event with younger kids — a birthday party, a classroom activity — a parent, guardian, or the game host may enter answers on a child's behalf. That's the supported way to include younger children, and it keeps their direct interaction with the Service at zero.

For more on how we handle children's information, see our Children & Age Policy — a standalone policy, incorporated into these Terms by reference.

3. What the Service is

PingoMe is a free web-based icebreaker game. A host creates a game with get-to-know-you questions, guests answer through a shared link, and the Service generates personalized printable bingo cards where each square is a fact about another guest.

Some things worth knowing up front about the current version:

  • No accounts. There is no sign-up, sign-in, or password. Your ongoing access to a game depends on the game link and (for hosts) the organizer code described below.
  • No payments. The Service is free. We don't collect payment information.
  • Questions lock at creation. Once you create a game, its questions can't be edited (filler prompts can).
  • Games expire. Each game — and all of its guest data — is automatically deleted shortly after 60 days from creation. See Section 10.

4. Your organizer code — read this one carefully

When you create a game, the Service shows you a secret organizer code, exactly once, with a warning to save it. The code is also kept in that browser's local storage for convenience, and can be entered on the admin page from any device.

The organizer code is the only key to managing your game. With it, you (or anyone else who has it) can view guest answers, remove guests, edit filler prompts, and generate and print cards.

Two things follow from this, and both are on you:

  1. If you lose the code, it cannot be recovered. Not by you, and not by us. There are no accounts in this version of the Service, so there is nothing to recover it against. A lost code means permanently lost management access to that game. Save it somewhere safe when it's shown to you.
  2. Keep it secret. Anyone who has your organizer code can manage your game exactly as if they were you — including viewing every guest's answers. Don't post it, don't put it in the group chat, and only share it with a co-host you trust.

You are responsible for everything done in your game using your organizer code.

5. Host responsibilities

If you create a game, you're the host, and a few things are your job:

  • Your link, your guest list. The game link is random and unguessable, and games aren't listed or searchable — but anyone who has the link can view the questions and join. You control who has the link. Share it the way you'd share an invitation, and understand that people can forward it.
  • Your event, your accuracy. You're responsible for the game name, questions, and any other content you create, and for making sure your event and its questions are appropriate for your guests — especially in classrooms and at kids' parties.
  • Your guests' expectations. Within a game, answers are shared by design: what a guest submits becomes bingo squares printed on other guests' cards. Make sure your guests understand that before they play. Don't ask questions designed to extract sensitive personal information.

6. Your content, and the license you give us

You own what you write. Game names, questions, guest names, and answers belong to whoever wrote them. We claim no ownership of your content.

To run the game, though, we need your permission to use that content in the ways the game requires. So by submitting content to the Service, you grant Stellarus a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and format your content solely to operate and improve the Service — most visibly, to display a guest's answers as squares on other guests' bingo cards, on screen and in print. This license ends when your content is deleted from the Service (see Section 10), except for copies in routine backups during their normal deletion cycle.

You promise that you have the right to submit whatever you submit, and that it doesn't violate anyone else's rights or these Terms.

7. Acceptable use

PingoMe is a party game. Please keep it that way. When using the Service, you must not:

  • harass, bully, threaten, or demean anyone, including through game questions or answers;
  • submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, hateful, or that violates another person's privacy or intellectual property rights;
  • impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone;
  • attempt to access, guess, or interfere with games that aren't yours, including trying to obtain another game's link or organizer code;
  • scrape, harvest, or bulk-collect data from the Service, or probe the Service by automated means;
  • interfere with or disrupt the Service, its infrastructure, or its security features, or attempt to access the underlying database or systems;
  • use the Service to collect personal information from children, or for any commercial data-collection purpose.

We may remove content or suspend access for violations — see Section 14.

8. Our intellectual property

The Service itself belongs to us. The PingoMe name, the gnome artwork and characters, the site design, and the underlying software are the property of Stellarus or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. We give you a limited, personal, non-transferable right to use the Service as these Terms allow — that's it. Please don't copy our gnomes, use the PingoMe name for your own products, or reverse-engineer the Service.

Your content remains yours, per Section 6.

9. No gambling, wagering, or prizes

PingoMe uses a bingo format, but it is an icebreaker game, not gambling. The Service involves no wagering, no stakes, no entry fees, and no prizes offered by Stellarus. If you choose to give out prizes at your own event, that's your affair and your responsibility — including compliance with any laws that apply to it. Don't use the Service for any form of gambling or lottery.

10. Data deletion is built in — 60 days

Every game, together with all of its guest names and answers, is automatically deleted shortly after 60 days from the game's creation. This is a feature of the Service, not just a policy: PingoMe is built for events, not archives.

Consequences worth stating plainly:

  • Don't rely on PingoMe as storage. If you want to keep your cards or your guests' answers, print or save them before the 60 days are up. Once a game is deleted, it cannot be restored.
  • Earlier deletion is available on request. There's no self-service delete button in this version, but you can ask us to delete a game or a specific guest's submission sooner through the contact form, and we'll handle it manually.

Details on what we store and how are in our Privacy Policy.

11. The Service is provided "AS IS"

We work to keep PingoMe running well, but we make no promises. The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory — including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, that defects will be corrected, or that any content or data will be preserved (see Section 10 — deletion is by design). Some jurisdictions don't allow certain warranty disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Stellarus and its officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including lost data, lost profits, or lost goodwill — arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, even if we've been advised such damages are possible.

To the same fullest extent, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim arose.

Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

13. Indemnification

If your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms gets us sued or otherwise draws a third-party claim, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Stellarus and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from the resulting claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs (including attorneys' fees). We may take over the defense of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you'll cooperate with us.

14. Termination and suspension

You can stop using the Service at any time — with no account, there's nothing to close, and your games will age out on their own under Section 10.

We may suspend or terminate access to the Service, remove content, or delete a game — with or without notice — if we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated, the Service is being abused, or we need to do so to protect users, third parties, or the Service itself. We may also modify or discontinue the Service (in whole or in part) at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 6, 8, 9, and 11 through 20 — survive.

15. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual-property rights and expect users to do the same. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice through the contact form — choose the topic "Copyright concern (DMCA)" — that includes the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

  1. identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed;
  2. identification of the allegedly infringing material and enough information for us to locate it (the game link helps);
  3. your name and contact information;
  4. a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  5. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner; and
  6. your physical or electronic signature.

We will review notices, remove or disable access to material as appropriate, and may terminate access for repeat infringers. If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you may submit a counter-notice through the same contact form with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3).

16. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you and Stellarus each consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief where necessary to protect intellectual property or the security of the Service.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time — for example, when we add features. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top and post the revised Terms on the Service; for material changes we'll make the update reasonably prominent. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you don't agree with a change, stop using the Service.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the rest of these Terms remain in full force.

19. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Stellarus about the Service, and they supersede any prior agreements or understandings on that subject. Our not enforcing a provision isn't a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

20. Contact

Questions about these Terms, deletion requests, copyright notices — all of it goes through the contact form. Pick the topic that fits and we'll take it from there.

Thanks for reading this far. Now go make some bingo cards.
