Terms of Service

Effective date: May 25, 2026
Last updated: May 25, 2026

Welcome to Ready Player Math. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Ready Player Math website and services (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Who we are

The Service is operated by Zachary Berman and Bradley Bentz ("we," "us," or "the Operator"). Contact: contact@readyplayermath.com.

Independent operation. Ready Player Math is an independent personal project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or operated on behalf of Wachusett Regional School District, any other school, school district, or educational institution. Use of Ready Player Math by any teacher, student, or school is voluntary. Nothing about the Service creates a relationship between the Operator and any user's school, district, or employer.

2. Eligibility

The Service is intended for use by:

• Teachers, administrators, and other education professionals.
• Students whose teacher or school has authorized their use of the Service.

If you are under 13, you may only use the Service if your school or teacher has created an account for you under the terms described in our Privacy Policy.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a school or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. Accounts

• You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure.
• You may not share your account with others or let others log in as you.
• Teachers are responsible for accounts they create for their students.
• We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to harass, bully, or harm other users.
• Submit content that is offensive, threatening, sexually explicit, or otherwise inappropriate for a classroom setting.
• Attempt to disrupt the Service (e.g., spamming, denial-of-service attempts, exploiting bugs).
• Attempt to access another user's account or data without authorization.
• Scrape, reverse-engineer, or copy the Service or its content except as permitted by law.
• Use the Service to cheat on classwork in a way that violates your school's academic integrity policies.

We reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules.

5. User content

Some parts of the Service let you submit content — for example, answers to math questions, custom display names, or class names ("User Content").

• You retain ownership of your User Content.
• By submitting User Content, you grant us a limited license to store, display, and process it as needed to operate the Service (e.g., showing your answer to your teacher, displaying your name on a leaderboard in your class).
• You are responsible for the User Content you submit and confirm it does not violate Section 4.

6. Intellectual property and trademarks

The Service — including its math questions, game mechanics, design, the Ready Player Math name, the RPM logo, tag lines, screen graphics, sound effects, animations, source code, and all other platform content — is the proprietary property of the Operator (Zachary Berman and Bradley Bentz) and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Trademark notice. Ready Player Math and the RPM logo are trademarks of the Operator. You may not use the Ready Player Math name or the RPM logo in any manner that suggests sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation without our prior written permission.

You may use the Service for personal educational use and classroom instruction. You may not:

• Reproduce, copy, republish, sell, or redistribute the Service, its content, its logo, or its branding outside the platform.
• Use the Ready Player Math name, the RPM logo, or any platform content to build, market, or operate a competing product or service.
• Remove, obscure, or alter copyright, trademark, or attribution notices.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or scrape the Service except as expressly permitted by law.

Any use of the Ready Player Math name, logo, or platform content beyond what is described above requires written permission from the Operator. Send requests to contact@readyplayermath.com.

Teachers may use student-facing content (questions, worksheets, etc.) generated through the Service in their own classrooms.

7. Service availability

We work to keep the Service running reliably, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. The Service may be unavailable for maintenance, updates, or reasons outside our control (e.g., outages at our hosting providers).

We may add, change, or remove features at any time. If a change materially reduces functionality you rely on, we will try to give reasonable notice.

8. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party providers (e.g., Supabase, Vercel, Railway). We are not responsible for outages or actions of those providers, but we will work to resolve issues promptly when they affect users.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Service or its servers are free of viruses or other harmful components.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed $100. Because the Service is currently free, this limit reflects the no-fee nature of the Service.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Operator from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:

• Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms.
• Your User Content.
• Your violation of any law or third-party right.

(For school or district accounts, this section is subject to applicable law governing indemnification by public entities.)

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service and request account deletion at any time (see the Privacy Policy for how).

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms or if continued access would harm the Service or its users. We will give reasonable notice when possible.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify users by email or in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any disputes will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Worcester County, Massachusetts, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

15. Payment, cancellation, and refunds

The Service is currently free to use. When paid features are introduced, this section will be updated to describe pricing, billing, cancellation, and refund terms. Updated terms will take effect on the date specified in Section 13 (Changes to these Terms), and you will be given notice before any charge is made to you.
