Who are you agreeing with?
You’re agreeing with Rent Party’s operator, Ahsan Mahmood, an individual (sole trader) based in Pakistan. In these terms, “we” means the Rent Party team.
Who can use Rent Party?
Anyone aged 13 and over.
You don’t need an account for pass-and-play or CPU games. To play online, keep cloud saves and earn coins, you sign in with Google, and you’re responsible for what happens on your account, so keep that Google account secure. Each person may have one Rent Party account.
What’s free, and what do plans add?
The whole game is free to play. Pro and Family raise limits, like how many online games you can run at once or how many help assistant questions you get a day, and they raise the level the AI features run at. The pricing page shows each plan’s price, limits and AI level. All of them can change.
How do you buy a plan?
Plans are sold only on the Rent Party website. The Android app shows your plan but doesn’t sell one.
There are two ways to pay, and checkout shows which you can use. One is by card. The other is a payment you make another way and then report at checkout.
If you pay by card, our payment partner Polar takes the payment on its own page. Polar sells you the plan as the seller of record, which it calls the merchant of record. In some countries, Polar adds tax to the price shown, and in others that price already includes it. Either way, Polar’s page shows the total before you pay. Polar emails you the order confirmation. When the payment goes through, a new plan starts at once.
For a payment you report, checkout explains how to pay. Once you’ve paid, you report the payment there with its reference so the team can check it by hand, and a new plan starts the day they confirm it. If they can’t confirm it, your plan stays as it was and we email you to say so. You can write to us from the Help page with the payment reference.
A card payment waits for the team if a payment you reported is still in review, or if your plan changed while you were on Polar’s page; you might have joined someone’s Family plan, for example. The team checks the card payment by hand, as they do for a payment you report, and we email you that it’s in review. That email gives the payment reference. The team then applies the payment to your plan by hand, or returns it to you because no plan was given for it, and we tell you either way. You can write to us from the Help page with that reference.
Paying by card also means you agree to Polar’s Buyer Terms (opens in a new tab). Questions about the charge itself go to Polar first.
Whichever way you pay, a new plan runs one month for each month you paid for. Months you buy for a plan you already hold are added to its end, at the seat count it already has if it’s a Family plan. A plan doesn’t renew on its own.
How does a Family plan work?
Family is paid per seat, and every member gets Family’s limits while they’re in it. Whoever buys it manages it: they invite members by email and can remove a member or hand the plan to another member, but they can’t leave it themselves. A Family invite expires after 7 days.
Can you get a refund?
No. We don’t give refunds. Every purchase is final: plans and coin packs bought on the website can’t be returned or refunded, except where the law requires otherwise. That includes time left on a plan, and your coins, when you delete your account.
If our payment partner or your bank returns a payment to you in full, the plan time it paid for ends, and we tell you in your inbox and by email. Plan time from another payment, a reward or the team stays; if none is left, your account moves to Free. If it paid for a coin pack, the coins from that pack that you still hold are taken back, and we tell you in your inbox.
What happens when a plan ends?
Your account moves to Free. Online games already running play on to the end, and Free’s limits only block starting new ones. Cloud saves and replays above Free’s limits become read-only until a plan covers them again, and nothing is deleted.
What are bucks and coins worth?
Nothing outside the game.
Bucks are play money that lives inside one game and ends with it. Coins are earned in Rent Party, for example from online and CPU games, badges, daily challenges and friend invites, and you can also get them in coin packs on the website. You spend them on tokens, boards, dice skins and frames, which change how the game looks and never change the rules or how the dice roll.
Coins are in-app only. They can’t be withdrawn, cashed out or exchanged for money, and they have no cash value. Coin packs follow these Terms. If a balance is wrong, we can correct it. Every correction is recorded. Coins and your collection are deleted with your account.
What do friend invites earn?
When a friend signs up through your invite link, or enters your invite code within an hour of signing up, and their email address is confirmed, you earn 50 coins and a badge. Every 3 confirmed invites also earns a month of Pro, up to 6 months of plan time in any 365 days; past that cap, each confirmed invite still earns the coins and the badge.
On Free, a month of Pro starts at once. On a plan with an end date, it’s added to the end. On any other plan with no end date, it’s added when that plan ends.
We can change these rewards or switch the program off, and what you’ve already earned stays on your account. When a friend you invited deletes their account, that invite is canceled: it stops counting, and rewards already given stay. We can also cancel an invite that breaks these terms: it stops counting toward a reward, rewards already given stay, and where you see your invites, it shows as canceled by the team, with the team’s reason.
How do the AI features work?
An outside AI service writes them: the help assistant’s answers, game recaps, trade reads, fresh table-talk lines and what a voice recording becomes. Each runs only when you ask for it, and fresh lines only once you’ve turned them on.
The help assistant answers only from the Rent Party docs and the Help page, and it names the pages it used. When they don’t cover your question, it says so. That question doesn’t count against your allowance. An answer can still be wrong. Check the page it names before you rely on it.
A trade read is advice. The game works out the numbers and the service only puts them into words, so the decision and the offer stay yours.
What a voice recording becomes never sends itself. You check what we heard first; nothing you said reaches the team, the help assistant or the table until you’ve pressed the button yourself.
Each plan includes an allowance of each feature, and the pricing page lists them. Guests get daily allowances based on the Free plan, with no recaps. When an allowance runs out, that feature waits for the next day, month or game.
The AI features are sometimes unavailable. Nothing is counted then. CPU characters go on talking from their own written lines whenever fresh lines are off, used up for the game or unavailable, because the lines they already know live on your device. A plan’s AI level is the highest it runs at; when the service has less to give, the features can run at a lower level for a while.
Don’t use them to send anything illegal, or anything about someone else they wouldn’t want shared. What you say in a voice recording falls under the same rules as chat.
How do you play fair?
Don’t cheat. That means no tampering with the game, its servers or anyone else’s account, no exploiting bugs and no trying to overload or get around how online play works. If you find a bug that helps you win, tell us from the Help page instead.
Rent Party applies the same rules for everyone, and the how-to-play page explains them.
What happens if you leave a game or miss turns?
Leaving an online game counts as a forfeit, paused or not. The rest of the table is counting on you to come back and take your turns, so these rules come with your seat:
- A missed turn is played for you with safe moves and counts as a strike. 2 strikes in a row forfeit a game over days, and 3 forfeit a live game.
- If you’re offline for 2 minutes in a live game that isn’t paused, you leave the game: with two players the other player wins, and with more, play goes on and your deeds go to auction.
- A paused game holds your seat for 14 days. After that, the ready players can start a 48-hour final call. Anyone still not ready when it ends forfeits.
- If nobody starts a final call, the game closes, unrated, after 21 days.
- A forfeit returns your deeds to the bank for auction, and in a rated game it counts as a loss.
What can you say in names, rooms and chat?
Keep it family-friendly, because Rent Party is for players 13 and over. That goes for display names, room names, chat, and community posts and comments. Don’t harass anyone, don’t spam and don’t post anything illegal.
A filter checks chat and room names against a list of blocked words. Chat messages are limited to 200 characters and 10 messages a minute. The team can switch text chat off while emotes and quick-chat phrases keep working.
How do reports and blocks work?
You can report a profile, a chat message, a room, a post or a comment. Reports are private both ways: the player you report never learns who reported them, and you won’t see the outcome. The team reviews every report.
Blocking a player hides their chat, posts and comments from you and yours from them, stops coins being sent either way, ends any friendship between you, stops friend requests and keeps them from watching games you play in. Neither of you can join a room the other hosts. Games already under way carry on.
What happens when someone breaks these rules?
Depending on what happened, the team can take one of the steps below, and each one shows you what was done:
| What the team can do | How you learn of it |
|---|---|
| Warn you | A notice in your inbox carries the team’s note. |
| Change your display name and lock it | Your profile shows the new name and says the team has locked it. |
| Mute your chat until a set time | In chat, a line says you’re muted and until when. |
| Take your name off the leaderboard | A line on the leaderboard gives the team’s reason. |
| Suspend your account until a set date | Signing in shows the end date and the team’s reason. |
| Delete an account that breaks these terms | An email to the account’s address gives the team’s reason. |
A suspension doesn’t forfeit your games by itself. Turns you miss while you’re suspended still count as strikes, so a long enough suspension can still forfeit a game, as “What happens if you leave a game or miss turns?” explains.
If a step looks like a mistake, write to us from the Help page, which works while you’re signed out.
Who owns the game?
Rent Party’s name, board, cards, tokens, characters, art and sounds belong to its operator, Ahsan Mahmood. You’re welcome to share invite links, Watch links and result cards.
What you write stays yours. By posting it in Rent Party, you let us show it to the players it’s meant for and keep it for as long as the privacy page says.
Can the game change or go offline?
We change Rent Party over time, including its features, boards, prices, limits and settings. A change to rule values such as taxes or the salary never reaches a game that’s already started, because each room keeps the rules it began with.
Online play has a monthly capacity. When it’s full, new online games may have to wait while pass-and-play and CPU games keep working on your device. We may also switch off online play, the shop, cloud saves and payments for maintenance. While online play is down, every online clock stands still, so nobody loses a turn to downtime: turn deadlines, pause holds and final calls all wait until play is back.
Who’s responsible if something goes wrong?
We work to keep Rent Party running, but we can’t promise it will always be available or free of bugs. Rent Party is provided as is. As far as the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect losses from using it.
Which law applies?
These terms are governed by the law of Pakistan, and any dispute about them is settled in the courts of Pakistan.
How will you know these terms changed?
When these terms change, the date at the top changes with them.
