These terms are the agreement between you and Libaty GmbH for using FizzPoker at fizzpoker.com, whether as a guest or with an account. They are short because the service is simple: a free game played for play chips. By dealing or joining a table you accept them.
FizzPoker is operated by Libaty GmbH, Am Krummen Graben 23, 63150 Heusenstamm, Germany (“we”). Contact: hello@fizzpoker.com; full details in the Impressum. “You” is anyone who opens a table, joins one or signs in.
You must be at least 16 years old to use FizzPoker. If the law where you live sets a higher minimum age for poker-themed games or for consenting to online services, that age applies to you. We may remove a table or an account if we learn that a player is too young.
FizzPoker is for people playing cards together. At a table you agree not to:
Hosts run their tables: a host may mute a player’s chat and decides who gets the link. Chat and reactions are relayed live and not stored by us; what other players do with what they see at the table is up to them.
You keep every right to the name, picture and messages you bring to a table. You grant us the non-exclusive, free licence to show them to the players of your tables, on the recap page of a finished game and in your league, for as long as you keep them on the site — nothing more. We may remove or replace a name or picture that breaks section 4 or 5, and may suspend or delete an account that repeatedly does.
The post-game review compares your decisions with game-theory models and labels them. It is an advisory second opinion computed from a simplified model of the game: it can be wrong in unusual spots, it covers only the situations it has models for, and it appears only after the hand. It is not coaching, not a guarantee of anything and not a judgement of you. The Fizz Score page explains the method and its limits.
Bots are computer players you can seat at your own table. They play the game as it is shown to them and never see hidden cards. A bot level is a rough indication of strength, not a promise of how a game will go.
The game, its code, drawings, sounds, texts, guides and tools belong to Libaty GmbH or its licensors. You may use them to play and learn, link to any page, quote short passages with attribution, and screenshot or stream your games. You may not copy, sell, scrape for resale or re-host the site or its content, or remove any notice on it.
FizzPoker is provided free of charge and as it is. We try to keep it up, but we do not promise that it is available at any time, that games never break, or that stored games, statistics or leagues are never lost. We may change, pause or discontinue any part of the service, including the whole of it, at any time; if we end the service or delete accounts for a reason other than a breach of these terms, we will announce it on the site in advance where reasonably possible.
Because FizzPoker is free, our liability is limited as far as German law allows for services provided free of charge: we are liable without limit for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the Product Liability Act and under any guarantee we have expressly given. For slight negligence we are liable only for the breach of an obligation that is essential to the service (a cardinal obligation), and then only for the foreseeable damage typical of a game of this kind. Any further liability is excluded. You are responsible for your own equipment and connection.
You can stop using FizzPoker at any time, and delete your account under Account → Settings. We can close a table, remove content, or suspend or delete an account that breaches these terms; for a serious breach (real-money play, collusion, automation, harassment, unlawful content) without notice. A deleted account’s games stay in the records without the player’s name, as the privacy policy describes.
We may change these terms when the service, the law or our business changes. The new version is published on this page with its date; for signed-in players we announce substantial changes on the site at least four weeks before they take effect. If you keep using FizzPoker after that date, the new terms apply; if you do not agree, stop using the service or delete your account.
These terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer in another country of the European Union, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of your own country. For merchants, legal entities and persons without a general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the courts of Offenbach am Main have exclusive jurisdiction. These terms are written in English; where German law requires a German reading, the English text is to be understood in its ordinary meaning.
We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§36 VSBG).
Should one of these clauses be or become invalid, the rest remain in force; the statutory rules take the invalid clause’s place.
