Parental Guidance Notice

The existence of this blob is to comply with GDPR and child protection laws just in the unlikely scenario that it's needed

This website is intended for a general audience. While users of all ages may access it, the content is designed from a satirical and non-commercial perspective (See §1.5). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children's online activities and to help enforce our philosophy by discussing the difference between satire and serious content.

Disclaimers

1. (Clarified in v0.12.1.2) As of v0.11.2.6, no additional data is collected or saved, other than in 2 scenarios: a volume setting bar under Programs™ that uses localStorage, and a ToS confirmation in index.html that remembers whether you have agreed to the ToS or not. Other than that, this means, for example, refreshing your tab resets all replies made in any tests under the /tests subdomain. That said, involuntary client-side (browser) caching can happen. Moreover, beginning from v0.11.2, there is one obscure page that was never meant to be created in the first place and never meant for YOU to find will use sessionStorage to do something very cool (sessionStorage data will be used to only remember that you visited that page), where it will have something to do with view once assisted by error 403 for that to happen. Use that information as you will.

2. (Clarified in v0.12.1.3) Any donations or other monetisation attempts directed at this website's services are strictly rejected. Don't buy me a coffee and please don't offer them. We will never ask you for donations or payments of any kind. Any such requests are fraudulent impersonations.

3. We don't want your PII or money, so don’t try to post them in any text boxes or any place that allows an input, or try to make donations.

1. Introduction

1. The Programs™ tos has been modified to adapt to the services available on web version of Programs™.

2. I'm no law expert, you're gonna see plain English.

3. (v0.12.2.2b change) This website and all of its content will now be under the CC BY-NC 4.0 license. If you are feeling generous, feel free to credit me.

4. (v0.11.2.2 change) The ToS has received an UI update. You can still view the old UI by clicking the button below.

5. (v0.12.1.3b clarification) To void any possibility of a misunderstanding, this website's content (everything under /content and /documentation/newsletter) is intended to be satirical and non-commercial. This is to clear the confusion that other content (such as this tos document is also just a satirical performance, even though it sounds like it). This ToS is also built on trust on the user to act with good will and faith. However, this ToS document is meant to be treated seriously (despite the lack of legalese) and the rules stated here are meant to be guidance for proper experience of the website's content. (ig §1.3 and this (§1.5) is closest to the CC BY-NC license?).

6. The ToS's old UI has not been updated since v0.11.2.2's UI change and hence hold zero legal value. It is only meant to be a relic/fossil of the previous ToS UI design.

7. The name 'kwaciont' will refer to 'me' (the creator of the website).

8. Credit must be referenced to other individuals, such as, and not limited to 'iponi' or 'hhhjk' (for example), as the CC BY-NC 4.0 license is applied everywhere automatically (as stated in §1.3)

9. Whilst the content of the website is intended to be satrical and non-commercial, the CC BY-NC 4.0 license will override in areas such as crediting the creator of said content.

3. Changes to Terms

1. All changes to the ToS will be posted in our update log.

2. Changes to this document will be noted in the tos bubble that you may encounter on the main page (index.html). (Since we don't collect your PII such as email as stated in §2.3, that's pretty much the only way)

3. Continuing from §3.2, you need to select "I ACCEPT THE TOS" on the said tos bubble to continue using the website. If you disagree with the ToS then it is probably better to ignore the website so that neither of us gets into legal trouble

4. Changes will apply by UTC time, where a 1-week notice will be given.

4. General ToS

The following ToS terms apply to all pages and all subdomains within them (such as "Programs™", "FUN ZONE", "Weird-stuff", "Games").

1. (v0.12.1.3 clarification) Modifying the code for any reason (both server and client side), despite completely unenforceable on client-side, is strongly unrecommended. This is also to prevent any unexpected harmful results from any unofficial modifications made by the user. Where permitted by law, the user assumes full liability for any damages (including technical) resulting from unauthorised changes.

2. (v0.11.2.6 change, v0.12.1.2 clarification) By using this site, you agree to the full ToS and will use the services provided by this site responsibly and legally. The consent process will be completed via a popup in index.html that asks if you have read the ToS. Since the database (up to v0.11.2.6) has not been setup yet, we will use localStorage to remember whether you have consented (true/false boolean). The popup is unobtrusive so that you still have a choice for implied disagreement unlike what big corporations do. The data will be saved on client side (userend) and can be cleared at the user's will.

3. The ToS may be updated irregularly. All ToS updates will be logged in /updates.

4. Please credit me for my work if you would like to post it.

5. Some pages have additional ToS, which there will be clear instructions on how to read them in these programs. They can also come in the form of unavoidable popups. All additional terms inherit §1.5's satirical/non-commercial intent.

5. Programs™ ToS

The following ToS terms apply to all pages within Programs™

1. The ™ on Programs™ is only a name and is not a trademarked company.

2. (v0.12.1.2 clarification) Leaking any unreleased content without explicit permission from the developers is not allowed. A method that you can deduce whether content is released is by viewing the OST page (if the ost number is there, then the correlating program number is also released. Can't find it? Try harder (or maybe later, so you get rewarded for finding secrets when user accounts update (planned v2.3) comes out)

3. The Programs™ ToS may be updated irregularly. Please view Program 14 to check any updates.

4. Programs™ is owned and developed by me (iponi1) and hhhjk. Please credit both creators.

5. Currently, user data cannot be transferred over to the web version from Programs™ Python. Modifying save files in any way are against our policy.

6. You can review the full code by right click + "view page source," but leaking secrets may result in that secret being removed. Keep the secrets to yourself.

7. Some pages have additional ToS, which there will be clear instructions on how to read them in these programs. They can also come in the form of unavoidable popups. All additional terms inherit §1.5's satirical/non-commercial intent.

6. Tests ToS

The following ToS terms apply to all pages within Tests under FUN ZONE

1. The tests are only for fun and have no scientific proof of its accuracy.

2. All the tests provided are only for leisure and is not to be taken seriously.

7. Games ToS

The following ToS terms apply to all pages within Games

1. (v0.12.1.2 clarification) Suing after smashing your device out of frustration (for example, and not limited to, you lost/failed a level a lot of times) is not allowed (please dont actually do that don't waste money)

2. The games are only for fun, so if you don't find it fun, then waste no more time i guess (why is this in the tos)

3. All soundtracks of the games will be owned by me (iponi1)

9. Articles ToS

The following ToS terms apply to all pages within Articles

1. I'm just an enthusiast or just interested in the topics that you might see in Articles, aka no professional background, so don't use them academically or take them too seriously alright?
