Project creators and owner, hosting, and contact

Plaryn.com is the brand and project created, built and owned by the creators acting as Plaryn Team. Plaryn Team is a creative team designation, not a separately registered legal person. Hosting the website on Bomega infrastructure does not give Bomega ownership of the project or brand.

Technical hosting and support for Plaryn.com are provided by BOMEGA spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością (BOMEGA Sp. z o.o.), Długa 2B, 56-416 Twardogóra, Poland, KRS 0000841054, NIP 9112034523, REGON 386056613. Bomega hosts the service on its servers and performs related technical data operations. Hosting alone does not make it the project owner, the contractual service provider to users or the personal data controller.

Contact for hosting and technical assistance: [email protected]. Plaryn Team creates and owns the project, while Bomega provides hosting and technical operations.

Plaryn Team is the creative team designated by the owner as the creator and owner of the project and brand. Economic rights to particular works, software and games follow actual authorship, contracts and licences; users who submit games retain their lawful rights. Bomega does not acquire any rights to Plaryn.com, its brand, code or games merely by hosting them.

Detailed rules for the functions and rights covered by this document. The provisions distinguish currently available features from options not yet enabled for paid orders.

Respect and individual responsibility

Plaryn brings together Players, Creators and people seeking collaborators for Games. When using profiles, reviews, comments, Game Jams or Teams, members must respect personal dignity, privacy and creative rights. Criticism of a Game, feature, idea or moderation decision is legitimate when lawful and must not automatically be treated as a personal attack.

Users are responsible for the materials they choose to publish and the way they interact. A public Creator profile does not entitle anyone to harass its owner outside the Service or expose private contact details. Disputes about quality should concern facts rather than threats, blackmail or attempts to compromise Accounts.

Profiles, Teams and impersonation

Members must not impersonate Creators, staff, moderators, publishers or official partners. Display names, avatars and descriptions must not deliberately mislead others about identity, ownership or endorsement. A shared Team profile should present members only with appropriate authority.

Not every confusing name is malicious. Where appropriate, a correction can be considered before serious restrictions. Deliberately imitating another profile to obtain money, credentials or private project access is forbidden.

Threats, harassment and targeted abuse

Threats, persistent harassment, abuse based on protected characteristics, intimidation, blackmail, stalking and organising attacks on a particular User are prohibited. Unauthorised exposure of home addresses, private messages and personal contact information is also forbidden. Team invitations or comments must not be used to evade justified restrictions.

Serious conflicts may require securing relevant evidence, limiting access to certain functions and referring matters appropriately. Measures should be proportionate. Immediate threats to life or safety should be reported to competent authorities rather than relying on an ordinary moderation form.

Illegal material and protection of children

Material exploiting minors, illegal sexual exploitation content, criminal threats and other unlawful resources must not be distributed. The rule applies to uploaded archives, concealed files and resource names as well as public Game descriptions.

Describing a project as horror, experimental or artistic does not exempt it from the law. Games may require appropriate age classifications and warnings. False statements about age must not be used to gain access to prohibited content. Serious suspected offences may require involvement of public authorities.

Malware, fraud and phishing

Malicious packages, backdoors, credential theft, unauthorised use of device resources and applications pretending to be operating-system updates are prohibited. Members must not direct others to fraudulent payment sites or ask for verification codes under the pretext of testing a Game. Creators should understand the purpose and permissions of included libraries.

Plaryn may inspect archives and suspend unsafe content for review, but scanning cannot detect every vulnerability. Security concerns should be reported without exploiting a defect to read other people's data. Circumventing security controls can itself breach these Rules.

Spam and misleading promotion

Mass creation of accounts, repetitive unrelated automated messages, unsolicited offers, fabricated traffic and manipulation of Game ratings are prohibited. Paid or coordinated fake reviews must not be represented as independent experiences.

Creators may promote Games within the features intended for that purpose and applicable limits. Reasonable rate restrictions protect other users from abuse. Similar messages alone are not necessarily proof of fraud without considering their context.

Reviews and comments

Reviews should concern actual Game characteristics or genuine experience. Negative criticism is allowed provided it does not become threats, defamatory false statements or unlawful disclosure of personal information. Creators must not force positive ratings as a condition for a previously granted basic entitlement.

Reports about a review should identify a specific violation rather than mere disagreement. Filtering or sorting reviews reflects the features actually enabled. Reviewers must not all be described as verified paying customers where the public checkout is not operating.

Team recruitment and cooperation

Collaboration posts should accurately present the project, role and relevant expectations. False promises of guaranteed employment, pay or ownership are prohibited. Members should agree on rights and obligations before exchanging unpublished code, administrative access or sensitive information.

A private dispute over revenue, contribution or authorship does not automatically make Plaryn a contracting party. The Service can restrict genuinely unsafe behaviour where justified. Team administrators must not demand another member's Account password as proof of commitment.

Game Jams and fair participation

Participants must follow the published Jam rules, deadlines, eligibility and criteria. Presenting someone else's work as one's own, manipulating votes through fake accounts or deliberately preventing others from participating is forbidden. Submissions should identify relevant Creators accurately.

When no Jam is open, visiting the events page does not confer a right to submit or win a prize. Decisions should follow the announced criteria. Copyright follows the actual creators and licences; participation does not automatically transfer it to the platform.

Reports through Trust Center

Relevant tools allow Users to report content, files or conduct that may violate rules or law. Reports should identify the affected material and explain the issue with proportionate evidence. Passwords and unrelated third-party data must not be required. Illegal-content notices may follow a separate process from ordinary technical complaints.

Reports must not knowingly contain false claims. The Service may address procedural abuse while still assessing legitimate notices. Applicable legal rights to explanations or challenges, including relevant DSA duties, remain in force.

Moderation decisions and proportional responses

Depending on the conduct, measures can include requesting correction, limiting a comment or Game Card, withdrawing a file, suspending a Release or restricting Account functions. The response should reflect severity, risk and context. An ordinary technical mistake is not equivalent to deliberate distribution of malware.

Where the law requires it, affected Users receive relevant reasons and challenge information. Material removed from a public page may be retained in a restricted lawful evidence record. Moderation does not transfer copyright in a Game to Plaryn.

Appeals and reassessment

Affected Users can identify the decision, explain the error and provide evidence of licences, ownership or remediation. Review should consider relevant facts and applicable procedural safeguards. An appeal does not guarantee the immediate return of a Game that poses a credible risk.

Internal procedures do not displace applicable court or out-of-court remedies. Mass fraudulent appeals can be subject to proportionate anti-abuse controls, but legitimate challenges to mistaken restrictions should remain possible.

Privacy and third-party information

Publishing other people's addresses, telephone numbers, private correspondence, identity-document information or similar private data without an appropriate basis is prohibited. Game functions and Team information must not be used to track people without lawful grounds.

Privacy issues should be reported through the relevant private channel rather than reproduced in open comments. Temporary Team access does not make internal Account information public. Data-protection and image rights remain separate from moderation decisions.

Updates and contact

These Rules can change with new Game types, collaboration features, patterns of abuse or legal requirements. Material changes should be communicated as appropriate to the Service and users' rights. Statutory protections remain available regardless of software version.

Technical questions and reports for forwarding can be sent through [email protected]. This is not an emergency response line. Immediate danger should be reported to the competent authorities.
