Block Party Terms of Use

Effective date: June 9, 2026  ·  Last updated: June 9, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Block Party Music ("we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the Block Party mobile app and related services (the "App"). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Plain-language summary (not a substitute for the Terms): Block Party is a music‑recognition game. We give you a personal license to play it. Be respectful — no offensive names, cheating, or trying to rip the music. Purchases are handled by Apple. The song clips belong to their owners, not you. The App is provided "as is." This summary is for convenience; the numbered sections below control.

1. Eligibility

The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. By using the App you represent that you are at least 13 years old, or that you have your parent or guardian's permission to use it. Certain optional features — including any feature that contributes data to our analytics or "Music Intelligence" program — require you to confirm that you are 18 or older; if you do not so confirm, those optional features will not collect data from you, and you may still play the game normally.

2. License to use the App

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, revocable license to download and use one copy of the App on Apple devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non‑commercial entertainment. This license is also governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple Standard EULA"); where these Terms and the Apple Standard EULA conflict, the more protective restriction on use applies. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

3. Your account

You can play as a guest or sign in with Sign in with Apple. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account. You may delete your account and associated data at any time from within the App (Settings → Delete Account), which removes your stored game data as described in our Privacy Policy.

4. Purchases and packs

The App offers optional in‑app purchases, such as song packs and any "founder" pricing or entitlements. All purchases are processed by Apple through your Apple Account and are subject to the App Store's terms. We do not receive or store your payment card details. Prices and availability may change. Except where required by law, purchases are non‑refundable by us — refund requests are handled by Apple. You can restore eligible previous purchases using the App's restore function.

5. Acceptable use and conduct

When using the App you agree that you will not:

6. User‑generated names and content

You retain ownership of the player names and similar short content you create, but you grant us a worldwide, royalty‑free license to use, display, and store that content as needed to operate the App (for example, showing your name on a leaderboard). You are responsible for the content you submit and represent that you have the right to submit it.

7. Music previews and intellectual property

The App plays short song preview clips that are streamed from third‑party services such as Apple's iTunes/Apple Music preview catalog. The music, sound recordings, artwork, artist names, and song titles are the property of their respective owners and are used in the App for the purpose of the recognition game. You receive no ownership of, and no license to download, copy, distribute, or extract, any music or preview. All Block Party trademarks, logos, game design, text, and software are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual‑property laws.

8. Game Center

If you use leaderboards or achievements, the App integrates with Apple Game Center, and your use of Game Center is governed by Apple's terms and privacy policy. You agree not to manipulate or falsify Game Center scores.

9. Privacy and data

Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how we use it, and is incorporated into these Terms. You acknowledge that we may create and use aggregated and de‑identified statistics derived from gameplay (for example, anonymized recognition trends), including in current or future analytics products. Such aggregated or de‑identified data is not personal information, is not linked to you, and may be used and disclosed as permitted by applicable law.

10. Changes to the App

We may update, change, suspend, or discontinue the App, any game mode, pack, or feature at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you for any such change, except as required by law or by the App Store's terms regarding paid content.

11. Disclaimers

The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non‑infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error‑free, or that any particular song or preview will be available.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months before the claim, or US $50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the App, or content you submit.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you violate these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time and may delete your account from within the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.

15. Apple‑specific terms

You acknowledge and agree that:

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict‑of‑laws rules, except that the Apple‑specific terms above are governed as Apple requires. Any dispute not subject to the App Store's terms will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Florida, unless applicable law gives you the right to bring it elsewhere.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the App. Your continued use of the App after the changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.
