Terms of use
Short version: be a real student, play fair, don't harass anyone, and we'll keep RivalU running.
Who can use RivalU
You need to be a current student at an accredited US university with a working .edu email address from that school's domain. One verified email = one account. Using more than one account, sharing logins, or automating gameplay gets the account banned and the school's points adjusted.
Fair play
Every score is checked. Suspicious match histories (improbable streaks, repeated identical rounds, scoring rates that exceed human reaction times) get flagged automatically and reviewed manually. False reporting of matches or attempting to manipulate your school's ranking results in account suspension and removal of disputed points.
For the full scoring rules, see How scoring works.
Behavior
RivalU is rivalry, not harassment. Don't target other players, students, or schools with slurs, threats, doxxing, or coordinated harassment. We remove accounts that do — no warnings on the egregious cases.
Your content
You keep ownership of anything you submit (e.g. screenshots in match reports). By submitting, you grant RivalU a non-exclusive license to display it for the purpose of the leaderboard and dispute resolution.
Account closure
You can delete your account any time — see Privacy. We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. If you graduate or leave your school, your account remains tied to your .edu email; if that email gets revoked, the account becomes read-only.
No warranty
RivalU is provided “as is” while we're building it. We aim for uptime, accurate scoring, and timely support, but we don't guarantee any of those legally. Bugs happen. If you find one, email hello@rivalu.app.
Changes to these terms
When we change these terms, we'll email signed-in users at their .edu address. If you don't agree to a change, delete your account.
