Terms of Use

This is a courtesy translation. The German version at /agb is the binding one; in case of any discrepancy, the German text prevails. Last updated: 6 August 2026.

§ 1 Scope and provider

These terms (the “Terms”) govern the use of the service available at unkown.t and kxb.team (the “Service”). The provider and your contracting party is:

Jens Bösche
Am Piepenbrink 16A
29379 Wittingen
Deutschland

kappaxbeta@gmail.com

They apply to everyone who uses the Service – members with an account as well as guests arriving through an invitation link. Any differing or additional terms of your own do not become part of the contract unless we have expressly agreed to them in text form.

How we handle personal data is not covered here but in the privacy policy. That document is statutory information rather than part of this contract.

§ 2 What this Service is

The Service provides shared, graphically rendered rooms. Users move a character through them, see one another in real time, and can write to each other, exchange gestures and use the activities on offer.

The Service is a place for meeting and entertainment. It is not a telecommunications service, not an archive, and not a store for data you need to rely on. Please keep your own copy of anything that matters to you.

Use of the Service as described here is free of charge. Paid services exist only where they are expressly offered as such (§ 7).

§ 3 Access

3.1 Account

An account is created when you submit the registration form and – where we require confirmation – follow the link we send you. Submitting the form concludes the contract of use between you and us. There is no entitlement to access; while registration is by invitation, an account is only created where an invitation exists for your email address.

You must be at least 16 years old. The details you give at registration must be accurate, and you should update your email address in your account if it changes – it is how we reach you.

Credentials are personal. Do not pass on your password or the sign-in links we email you, and tell us if you suspect someone else is using your account. You are responsible for actions taken through your account to the extent the misuse is attributable to you.

3.2 Guests without an account

Rooms can also be entered through an invitation link, without creating an account. Following such a link, entering a name and walking in accepts our offer of free use; these Terms apply then too, in particular the rules in § 5 and § 6.

Guest access is tied to the individual link and visit. It creates no account, no right to re-enter, and no storage beyond the visit. Passing an invitation link on is a decision about who can enter the room; treat the link accordingly.

§ 4 Your content

Everything you create or transmit within the Service – messages, names, images, rooms you have arranged and the like (“Content”) – remains yours. We acquire no ownership of it.

So that the Service can function, you grant us a non-exclusive, territorially unlimited and royalty-free right to use your Content, limited to storing it within the Service, processing it technically (such as format conversion) and displaying it to the people it is meant for. That right ends when the Content is deleted – except for backups, until those are overwritten in the ordinary rotation.

You warrant that you hold the necessary rights to the Content you post and that it infringes no third-party rights.

§ 5 Rules of use

In particular, it is prohibited to:

  • distribute unlawful content, in particular anything constituting a criminal offence (for example incitement to hatred, insult, threats, distribution of child sexual abuse material, or use of unconstitutional symbols);
  • harass, threaten, abuse, stalk, or deliberately drive other people out of a room;
  • disclose other people’s personal data without their consent;
  • impersonate another person, a member of our staff, or an official body;
  • distribute advertising, chain messages or other unsolicited bulk messages;
  • infringe third-party rights, in particular copyright, trade mark and personality rights;
  • read or operate the Service by automated means, circumvent security measures, introduce malware, or deliberately overload the infrastructure;
  • circumvent a suspension under a new name or through guest access.

This list describes the most common cases and is not exhaustive. The standard remains that the rooms stay usable for everyone present.

§ 6 Moderation

6.1 Reporting

Unlawful content and breaches of § 5 can be reported informally at any time to kappaxbeta@gmail.com. It helps to say what the matter is, where in the Service it was found, and when. We confirm receipt and communicate our decision where we have a way to contact you.

6.2 Measures

Where these Terms or applicable law are breached, we may, depending on severity and repetition:

  • remove a piece of content or restrict its visibility,
  • remove a person from a room,
  • temporarily restrict access to individual features,
  • suspend an account or guest access temporarily or permanently,
  • terminate the contract of use for cause (§ 10).

As a rule we first point out the problem or remove the content complained of. A suspension comes at the end, not the beginning – unless the breach is serious enough that waiting would be unreasonable for everyone else present.

6.3 How decisions are made

Measures are decided by people. There is no automated content detection and no algorithmic decision on whether content is removed or access suspended. Technical measures are limited to limits on the number of requests and the length of input.

6.4 Objection

Where a measure affects someone we can reach, we state the reason and the content concerned. The decision can be objected to informally within six months at kappaxbeta@gmail.com. We review the objection afresh and reverse the measure if it was unfounded. Your right to seek redress before a court is unaffected.

§ 7 Paid services

Beyond the free Service, we offer to host events in rooms set up for the purpose. What is shown on our pages is not a binding offer but an invitation to request one. A contract is only concluded once we send you an offer in response to your enquiry and you accept it.

Scope, date, price and VAT treatment follow from that offer. Unless agreed otherwise, payment is due in full within 14 days of invoice.

Consumers have a statutory right to withdraw within 14 days from contracts concluded at a distance. For services connected with leisure activities where the contract provides for a specific date, that right may be excluded under § 312g(2) no. 9 of the German Civil Code. The offer states whether and to what extent a right of withdrawal exists and, where it does, includes the statutory withdrawal instructions.

§ 8 Availability and further development

We aim to run the Service with as few interruptions as possible but owe no particular level of availability. Interruptions caused by maintenance, faults at our suppliers or circumstances beyond our control are possible. Where maintenance can be planned, we schedule it for quiet hours as far as possible.

The Service changes continuously. Features may be added, altered or dropped where this is reasonable for you – in particular because use is free of charge and you may end the contract at any time (§ 10). Where a feature essential to the agreed use is dropped, we say so beforehand.

§ 9 Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms, for instance because the Service, the law or the case law changes. We announce a new version in text form at least four weeks before it takes effect – by email to members, otherwise by a clear notice within the Service – and identify what is changing.

Anyone who does not wish to accept the new version may end the contract of use at any time before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after that date does not count as consent to a change that materially shifts your rights and obligations; in such a case we obtain your express agreement.

§ 10 Term and termination

The contract of use runs for an indefinite period. You may end it at any time and without notice by deleting your account or sending us a message to that effect at kappaxbeta@gmail.com. We may terminate on 14 days’ notice.

Each party’s right to terminate for cause is unaffected. For us, cause exists in particular where § 5 is breached seriously or repeatedly.

After termination we delete your account and the Content associated with it, unless statutory retention obligations prevent this. Details and periods are set out in the privacy policy. Contributions to shared histories may remain in anonymised form so that conversations stay intelligible for everyone else involved.

§ 11 Liability

We are liable without limitation for damage arising from injury to life, body or health and under the German Product Liability Act. We are likewise liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, and for the absence of a warranted characteristic.

In cases of simple negligence we are liable only for breach of an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely (a cardinal obligation), and then limited in amount to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Liability is otherwise excluded.

We are not liable for content posted by users; we do not adopt it as our own. Our responsibility under §§ 7 et seq. DDG and Art. 6 DSA is unaffected: once we have knowledge of a specific infringement, we will remove the content concerned without undue delay.

§ 12 Indemnity

Where a third party brings a claim against us over content or conduct attributable to you, you will indemnify us against those claims and against the costs of a reasonable legal defence. This does not apply where the infringement is not attributable to you. We will inform you of any such claim without undue delay and give you an opportunity to comment.

§ 13 Final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer habitually resident in another state, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of that state remain unaffected.

If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is our place of business.

We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36 VSBG).
