Terms of Service

1. The Service

SwayJoy is a free collection of motion games that run in your browser and are controlled by your body movements through your webcam. The games require a modern browser with a camera, an internet connection to load the pages and models, and a reasonably lit space to move in. Play is analyzed entirely on your own device. We may add, change, or remove games at any time. The Service is provided free of charge.

2. Eligibility

The Service is for general audiences. If you are between 13 and 18 years old, please review these Terms with a parent or guardian before playing. If you are under 13, ask a parent or guardian for permission first and play together with them. Use the Service only where it is lawful for you to do so.

3. Camera use and your environment

Playing requires camera access, which you grant in your browser. As explained in our Privacy Policy, your camera feed is processed on your own device and is never sent to us. You are responsible for what is in front of your camera:

• Do not point the camera at people who have not agreed to be in view.
• Do not use the Service to record or monitor anyone.
• Motion games involve real movement. Make sure your play space is clear and safe, and move carefully. We are not responsible for injuries or damage caused by playing in an unsafe space.

4. No accounts; progress stays on your device

The Service needs no registration. Your progress, unlocked levels, best scores, and preferences are stored in your browser's local storage on your own device. Clearing your browser's site data for swayjoy.com will reset this progress, as will the restart options offered inside games. Do not rely on the Service for permanent storage of anything.

5. Acceptable use

The Service is for personal, non-commercial entertainment and learning. You agree not to:

• Copy, resell, redistribute, or rebrand the Service or any part of it.
• Reverse engineer, scrape, or automate gameplay in a way that disrupts the Service.
• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure.
• Use the Service to harm others or in any way that violates applicable law.

We may restrict or suspend access to the Service if we reasonably believe these rules are being broken.

6. Intellectual property

The Service — including its games, artwork, audio, text, code, and design, as well as the "SwayJoy" name and logo — is owned by SwayJoy and its contributors and licensors, and is protected by copyright and trademark law. Each game on the platform belongs to the students and creators who made it and is showcased here with credit to them.

We grant you a limited, revocable, personal, and non-transferable license to access and play the Service for your own personal use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Third-party names used on the Service (for example, MediaPipe) belong to their respective owners.

7. Third-party content and links

The Service may link to third-party websites for reference (for example, history sources). Those sites are not part of the Service, are not controlled by us, and we are not responsible for their content or practices.

8. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied — including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any particular game result or experience will be achieved. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you use the Service at your own risk.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SwayJoy and its contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Service — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Because the Service is free, our total liability to you for all claims arising out of these Terms will not exceed the amount you have paid us to use the Service, which is zero.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SwayJoy and its contributors from any claims, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Service.

11. Changes to the Service or these Terms

We may modify the Service or update these Terms from time to time. When the Terms change, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and post the new version on this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms, so please check back periodically.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the applicable laws of the country or region where you access the Service, to the extent not overridden by mandatory local law. We would always rather talk than litigate: before taking any dispute further, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it together.
