Terms of service
Overview
Welcome to Ball 2! The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Sperry Labs LLC, the company that operates Ball 2. Ball 2 is an interactive game creation and play platform available at www.ball2.ai and as a mobile application on the Apple App Store and Google Play (collectively, the “Services”).
The terms and conditions below (these “Terms of Service” or “Terms”) describe your rights and responsibilities when you use any part of the Services, whether through our website, our mobile apps, or our online store.
Please read these Terms carefully. They contain important information about your legal rights, including warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.
By accessing or using any part of the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy [LINK]. If you do not agree, you should not use or access the Services.
Section 1 – About Ball 2
Ball 2 is a game creation and play platform. Users can explore, play, and build browser-based and mobile games. Some features of the platform — including the ability to create games and access the AI assistant — are available without account registration.
Ball 2 is available in two primary ways:
1. Web Platform: The Ball 2 web app at www.ball2.ai, accessible through any modern browser, free of charge.
2. Mobile Apps: Ball 2 is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Certain features within the mobile apps may be available as in-app purchases governed by the policies of Apple or Google, as applicable.
Additionally, Ball 2 merchandise and related products may be available for purchase through our online store, which is powered by Shopify. Purchases through the Shopify store are subject to Sections 6 through 9 of these Terms.
Section 2 – Age Requirements and Parental Consent
Ball 2’s Services are intended for users who are 13 years of age or older. If you are under 13, you may only use the Services with the direct involvement and verifiable consent of a parent or legal guardian. By allowing a child under 13 to use the Services, a parent or guardian represents that they have reviewed these Terms and consent to the child’s use on the terms described herein.
If you are a parent or guardian and you become aware that your child under 13 has provided any personal information to us without your consent, please contact us immediately at andrew@sperrylabs.com. We will take steps to remove such information promptly.
Users who are 13 or older but under 18 are encouraged to review these Terms with a parent or guardian, particularly Sections 3 and 4, which address the Conversational AI feature.
Section 3 – Children and Parental Guidance
Ball 2 is designed to be creative and educational, and we welcome younger users with appropriate parental involvement. However, parents and guardians should be aware of the following:
Conversational AI Features
Ball 2 includes an optional Conversational AI assistant to help users build games. We strongly recommend that children and teens only use the Conversational AI feature with a parent or guardian present and with explicit parental permission. AI systems can produce unexpected outputs, and adult supervision helps ensure the experience remains appropriate and beneficial. Please review Section 4 for full details on how this feature works.
Community Game Submissions
Users may optionally submit games they have created for consideration in our Community Games section. This feature requires a username and an email address. We strongly recommend that minors obtain parental permission before submitting a game, and that they do not use their real name as a username. See Section 5 for full details.
General Use
The core game-playing and game-creation features of Ball 2 do not require any account registration and do not collect personally identifiable information. These features are designed to be safe for all ages. We encourage parents to explore the platform with their children and to reach out to us at andrew@sperrylabs.com with any questions or concerns.
Section 4 – Conversational AI and OpenAI
Ball 2 includes a Conversational AI feature that allows users to interact with an AI assistant to assist with game creation and code generation.
How It Works
When you use the Conversational AI feature, your input (text prompts and related context) is transmitted to servers operated by OpenAI, LLC (“OpenAI”) for processing. OpenAI returns a response — typically in the form of code or instructions — which Ball 2 then delivers to you. This routing through OpenAI’s infrastructure is a necessary and inherent part of how the feature functions.
Data Handling
Ball 2 does not store, retain, or log any content you submit through the Conversational AI feature. However, your inputs are transmitted to and processed by OpenAI and are governed by OpenAI’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, available at https://openai.com/policies. We strongly encourage you to review OpenAI’s policies before using this feature. By using the Conversational AI feature, you acknowledge and accept that your inputs are processed by OpenAI in accordance with their policies.
Guidance for Minors
We do not recommend that children use the Conversational AI feature without a parent or guardian present and without explicit parental permission. Conversational AI systems can produce varied or unexpected outputs, and parental oversight helps ensure the feature is used safely and constructively.
No Professional Advice
Outputs generated by the Conversational AI are provided for creative and informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as professional, legal, technical, medical, or other expert advice. Ball 2 makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, safety, or appropriateness of AI-generated content.
Section 5 – Community Game Submissions
Ball 2 offers users the ability to voluntarily submit games they have created for consideration in the Community Games section of the site. Participation in this feature is entirely optional.
Submission Process
To submit a game, you will be asked to provide a chosen username and an email address. These are not account credentials and are not linked to any user account, server profile, or other identifier. They are used solely in connection with your submission as described below.
Email Use
Your email address will be used only to contact you directly about your submitted game — for example, to let you know if your game has been selected, or to ask clarifying questions about it. We will never sell, share, rent, or otherwise disclose your email address to third parties, and we will not use it for marketing or any other purpose.
Username Display
If your game is selected for inclusion in the Community Games section, your chosen username may be displayed alongside your game to give you credit for your work. Usernames are not linked to any account or identifying information. We reserve the right to modify or remove any username that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be inappropriate, offensive, or in violation of these Terms. If we modify or remove your username, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you at the email address you provided.
License to Submitted Games
By submitting a game to Ball 2, you grant Sperry Labs LLC a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, improve, rename, and distribute your submitted game, including its code, name, and content. This license allows us to, among other things:
(a) Feature your game in the Community Games section of the site;
(b) Improve or optimize the game for performance or playability;
(c) Modify the game’s name or code to better fit our platform; and
(d) Share the game with other users of the Services.
We will provide credit to the submitting user by username whenever a submitted game is featured in the Community Games section, unless the username has been removed or modified per these Terms.
Your Representations
By submitting a game, you represent and warrant that: (i) you created the game or have all necessary rights to submit it; (ii) the game does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights; (iii) the game does not contain malicious code, offensive content, or material that violates these Terms; and (iv) the game’s code and content do not include any other person’s personally identifiable information without their consent.
No Compensation or Obligation
Submission of a game does not entitle you to any compensation. We are under no obligation to feature, review, publish, or respond to any submitted game.
Section 6 – Our Products
In addition to the digital platform, Ball 2 merchandise and related products may be available for purchase through our Shopify-powered online store. We make every effort to provide accurate representations of our products. However, colors or product appearance may differ from how they appear on your screen due to your device type and display settings.
We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of any products purchased through the store will meet your expectations or match exactly what is depicted online. All product descriptions are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product and may limit quantities available to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction.
Section 7 – Orders
When you place an order through our online store, you are making an offer to purchase. Ball 2 reserves the right to accept or decline your order for any reason at its discretion. Your order is not accepted until Ball 2 confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted.
Please review your order carefully before submitting, as Ball 2 may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests after an order is accepted. In the event we do not accept, modify, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you at the email or billing address provided at the time of the order.
Your purchases are subject to return or exchange solely in accordance with our Refund Policy [LINK]. You represent and warrant that your purchases are for your own personal or household use and not for commercial resale or export.
Section 8 – Prices, Billing, and In-App Purchases
Online Store Purchases
Prices for products in our online store are subject to change without notice. The price charged will be the price in effect at the time your order is placed and will appear in your order confirmation. Unless otherwise stated, posted prices do not include applicable taxes, shipping, or handling charges.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate payment and billing information for all purchases. You represent and warrant that: (i) the payment information you provide is true and complete; (ii) you are authorized to use the payment method provided; (iii) charges will be honored by your payment provider; and (iv) you will pay all charges at the posted prices, including all applicable taxes and fees.
In-App Purchases
Certain features within the Ball 2 mobile app may be available as in-app purchases through the Apple App Store or Google Play. All in-app purchases are processed by Apple or Google, as applicable, and are subject to their respective terms of service and billing policies. Ball 2 does not directly process payment for in-app purchases. Questions or disputes regarding in-app purchases should be directed to Apple or Google.
All in-app purchase transactions are final unless Apple or Google determines otherwise under their own refund policies. Please review the applicable platform’s policies before completing any in-app purchase.
Section 9 – Shipping and Delivery
For physical products ordered through our online store, all delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for shipping or delivery delays caused by shipping carriers, customs processing, or events outside our control. Once we transfer a product to the carrier, title and risk of loss pass to you.
Section 10 – Intellectual Property
All content, features, and functionality of the Services — including but not limited to the Ball 2 name and logo, platform design, code, text, graphics, game templates, and audio — are owned by Sperry Labs LLC or its licensors and are protected by applicable U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
These Terms permit you to use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, republish, download, or transmit any proprietary material from the Services without our prior written consent. Unauthorized use of the Services may violate applicable intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Sperry Labs LLC.
The Ball 2 name, logo, and related marks are trademarks of Sperry Labs LLC or its affiliates. You may not use these marks without prior written permission. Third-party trademarks appearing on the Services remain the property of their respective owners.
Section 11 – Third-Party Services and Links
The Services integrate with, and may contain links to, third-party services and websites — including but not limited to OpenAI (see Section 4), Apple App Store, and Google Play. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party service or website, and we make no warranties regarding them.
If you choose to access any third-party service through the Services, you do so at your own risk. We are not liable for any harm or damages arising from your use of third-party services, products, or content. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party service before use. Complaints or questions regarding third-party products or services should be directed to the relevant third party.
Section 12 – Relationship with Shopify
Our online merchandise store is powered by Shopify, which enables us to offer products to you. However, any purchases you make in our store are made directly with Sperry Labs LLC, not Shopify. By using the online store, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of any transaction between you and Ball 2, including any injury, damage, or loss resulting from purchased products. You expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages, and liabilities arising from or related to your purchases from Ball 2.
Section 13 – Privacy and Data
Ball 2 is built with privacy in mind. General use of the platform — including playing and creating games — does not require you to provide any personally identifiable information, and we do not collect it through those features.
The only personal information Ball 2 directly collects is voluntarily provided through the Community Game Submission feature (a username and email address), as described in Section 5. That information is used solely as described in that section and is never shared with third parties.
Conversational AI interactions are not stored or retained by Ball 2. However, those interactions are processed by OpenAI as described in Section 4.
Our online store is powered by Shopify. If you make a purchase through our store, Shopify collects and processes payment and billing information on our behalf, in accordance with their privacy policy. Certain information you submit through the store will be transmitted to Shopify and potentially other service providers. Please review our Privacy Policy [LINK] and Shopify’s Privacy Policy for full details.
For more information about how we handle data across all parts of the Services, please review our Privacy Policy [LINK].

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

Section 18 – Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SPERRY LABS LLC, ITS PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR REPLACEMENT COSTS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF ANY PART OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

We will notify you of any such claim in a reasonably timely manner, provided that failure to promptly notify will not relieve you of your obligations unless you are materially prejudiced. We may, at our option, assume control of the defense and settlement of any indemnified claim at your expense, but will not settle any claim requiring non-monetary obligations from you without your prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld).
Section 20 – Severability

You may not delegate, transfer, or assign this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.
