These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to MingleTrivia’s iOS app, website, waitlist, and related services (the “Service”). The Service is operated by Kyle Borg (“MingleTrivia,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Before hosting, starting a solo game, or buying a Host subscription, a person must affirmatively agree to the current version in the app. If you do not agree, do not take those actions.
1. Acceptance and eligibility
You may use MingleTrivia only if you can legally enter into these Terms. If you are under the age of majority where you live, your parent or guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf. The Service is not directed to children under 13. You are responsible for the display name, device, connection, and other activity associated with your use of the Service.
At the first host or solo-game setup, or before a Host subscription purchase, the app presents the current Terms version and requires an unchecked, affirmative agreement before that action continues. It records the Terms version, acceptance time, presentation source, and a random installation identifier in local app storage. The record is not an account and is not sent to a MingleTrivia acceptance database in this release.
Guests do not need a MingleTrivia account, subscription, purchase, or Terms acceptance record to join a game. Before joining, they receive a limited data-flow notice covering their display name, gameplay, optional photo, and the cloud relay that carries the game.
2. The Service and availability
MingleTrivia is an in-person, classic trivia game. A host selects a curated pack, guests join a room, and each player answers on their own device. The current experience is classic phone-first trivia.
Every game runs through the MingleTrivia cloud relay, so every device needs an internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular). A room can hold up to 40 players with MingleTrivia Host. Connection quality, relay availability, player capacity, and feature availability can vary by device, network, app version, and venue. We do not guarantee that the Service will be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for every setting.
We may update, add, remove, suspend, or discontinue features, packs, or availability where reasonably necessary for operation, safety, legal compliance, or product improvement. If we release a feature as beta or preview, it may be incomplete and is provided on an “as is” basis.
3. Hosting and subscriptions
Guests are free
Joining and playing as a guest is free. A guest is not required to create an account, subscribe, or purchase a pack.
First hosted game and MingleTrivia Host
Your first completed hosted game is free. After that, hosting requires an active MingleTrivia Host subscription. At launch, Host is offered at $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year in the United States, before applicable tax; prices, currencies, and availability may vary by storefront. Host unlocks hosting and all curated packs. There are no separate pack purchases in the 1.0 launch offering.
Beta tester launch offer
People who sign up as MingleTrivia beta testers through our beta signup form before the App Store launch are eligible for 12 months of MingleTrivia Host for a single $24.99 USD payment. We will email eligible testers an offer code at launch. The code is redeemable through the App Store within one year after launch, one per Apple ID, and is subject to Apple’s offer code terms. Eligibility is based on our beta signup records and does not require any minimum amount of testing. After the first year, the subscription renews at the then-current annual price unless you turn off auto-renewal.
Earlier waitlist offers
People who joined the waitlist before September 29, 2026 keep the earlier offer: three months of MingleTrivia Host at no charge, redeemable within one year after launch. People who joined the waitlist on or after September 29, 2026, while our website advertised the waitlist offer, and who are among the first 100 valid waitlist signups, keep that offer: 12 months of MingleTrivia Host for a single $34.99 USD payment, redeemable within one year after launch. Waitlist eligibility is determined by recorded signup order, subject to verification. We will send qualifying people redemption details at launch.
Apple billing
Subscriptions are sold and managed by Apple through StoreKit and the App Store. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm purchase. Your subscription automatically renews unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and Apple may charge your account for renewal within 24 hours before that period ends. Manage or cancel through your Apple ID subscription settings. Apple’s terms, billing, refunds, and purchase-restoration rules apply.
Refunds and changes
Apple handles refund requests. We may change subscription pricing or benefits with the notice and consent Apple or applicable law requires. A subscription does not grant a right to a particular future pack, feature, player count, or release date.
4. Your responsibilities
Please use MingleTrivia safely, respectfully, and lawfully. You must not:
use the Service while driving, cycling, operating machinery, or in another unsafe setting;
harass, threaten, discriminate against, or impersonate another person through a display name or game activity;
submit another person’s personal information or photo without their permission;
circumvent technical limits, subscription checks, rate limits, or security controls;
interfere with the Service, network traffic, other players’ devices, or game state;
scrape, reverse engineer, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Service or curated content except where law permits; or
use the Service for an unlawful, deceptive, infringing, or unauthorized commercial purpose.
MingleTrivia is licensed for personal, non-commercial play. Venues, paid events, or a business offering the game as a customer amenity need a separate commercial license; contact licensing@mingletrivia.com.
5. Content and intellectual property
MingleTrivia and its licensors own the app, game mechanics, original visual identity, curated questions and answer sets, website, and other Service materials. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on devices you own or control for personal, non-commercial use.
You retain rights in information you provide, such as a display name, optional player photo, or support message. You give us a limited license to process and transmit that information only as necessary to operate the Service, for example, to display your chosen name to your game participants. If you send feedback, you allow us to use it without obligation or compensation.
MingleTrivia 1.0 does not provide public user uploads, public profiles, public documents, public user-generated trivia, or in-app public messaging. For a private content or copyright concern about our curated material or an in-game display name or photo, use the Content rights report route and include enough information to identify the issue. The legal@mingletrivia.com mailbox is a private complaint intake, not a registered designated DMCA agent; we do not claim a registered DMCA-agent process before one exists.
If you join the waitlist, you ask us to send launch and product communications to the email address provided. You may unsubscribe from marketing messages at any time through the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by emailing support@mingletrivia.com. We may still send non-marketing messages necessary to respond to a request, deliver a purchase-related notice, or meet legal obligations.
7. Third-party services
The Service relies on third parties, including Apple for App Store distribution and billing, and Amazon Web Services for API/relay infrastructure, waitlist-confirmation delivery, and email delivery for our self-hosted Listmonk waitlist and communications platform. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy notices. We are not responsible for third-party platforms, connectivity, app-store availability, or their acts or omissions outside our reasonable control.
8. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”
We disclaim all warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Trivia content is created and reviewed in good faith, but may contain errors, ambiguities, or outdated information. You are responsible for using the Service in an appropriate and safe environment.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, MingleTrivia and its suppliers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, goodwill, data, or business opportunities arising from the Service or these Terms. Our aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of $100 USD or the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations, so some of these limits may not apply to you.
10. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MingleTrivia and its providers from claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms or law, or your violation of another person’s rights.
11. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting the app, cancelling your Apple subscription, unsubscribing from the waitlist, or making a privacy request. We may suspend or terminate access where we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created a safety/security risk, used the Service fraudulently, or where required by law. Termination does not automatically refund an Apple subscription; Apple’s refund rules apply. Sections that should survive termination—including intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and disputes—survive.
12. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict-of-law rules, except where local consumer law requires otherwise. Before filing a formal claim, contact legal@mingletrivia.com with a description of the issue and requested resolution, and allow 30 days for good-faith informal resolution.
Where permitted by applicable law, disputes that cannot be resolved informally will be decided by binding individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that either party may bring an eligible individual claim in small-claims court. Class, collective, representative, and mass actions are not permitted to the extent law allows. You may opt out of arbitration and the class-action waiver by emailing legal@mingletrivia.com within 30 days after first accepting these Terms, with your name and the contact information used with the Service. This section does not limit non-waivable consumer rights.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may change these Terms as the Service, law, or our operations change. We will post the revised Terms and update the date above. If a change materially affects a host’s rights or obligations, we will provide additional notice when required and require the host to affirmatively accept the new version before the next host or subscription-related action. Continued use does not replace an affirmative acceptance where we present one.
14. Accessibility
We aim to make the website and iOS app usable with common accessibility features, including keyboard navigation on the site, VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion where supported by the app. Read our Accessibility Statement or report a barrier at accessibility@mingletrivia.com.
