LANTERNLOBBY / TERMS

Terms of use

These draft terms explain the expectations for using LanternLobby, including this website and the related app features for organising private co-op game nights. They are written in plain language so players can understand the ground rules before creating or joining a lobby.

Publication note: No operator name, contact route, effective date, governing jurisdiction, or other publisher details were supplied for this draft. The site owner must add and verify those details before publication.

01 / THE SERVICE

What LanternLobby provides

LanternLobby is an informational and organisational service for adult PC and console players who coordinate small, regular co-op sessions. It is intended to help a group choose a game, compare suitable time windows, and keep a private game-night plan visible to its members.

The service does not provide the games themselves, game servers, voice chat, internet access, console or PC hardware, payment processing for third-party games, or guarantees that a particular game, platform, connection, or group will be available. Any third-party game, platform, account, or service remains subject to its own terms and policies.

By using LanternLobby, you agree to use it responsibly and to these terms as they apply to the features available at the time of use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or app.

02 / PLAY FAIR

Your responsibilities

LanternLobby works best when every participant treats a private lobby as a shared planning space. When using the service, you agree to:

  1. Provide information that is accurate enough for your group to understand the proposed game-night plan, and update it when it is no longer current.
  2. Use only accounts, invitations, lobby details, and access credentials that you are authorised to use.
  3. Respect other players and avoid harassment, threats, hate speech, discriminatory conduct, impersonation, or deliberately disruptive behaviour.
  4. Keep private invitations, schedules, usernames, and other group information confidential unless the people concerned have agreed to share it.
  5. Use the service only for lawful planning and communication, not for fraud, abuse, unauthorised access, malware distribution, scraping, or attempts to interfere with the service.
  6. Take reasonable care with your device and account access, and tell the site owner through the verified publisher contact route once one has been added if you believe access has been misused.
  7. Follow the rules of any game, console network, platform, or other service you use alongside LanternLobby.

You must not use LanternLobby to collect sensitive personal information, expose another person’s private information, send unsolicited promotions, or create a misleading impression that you represent the operator or a game publisher.

03 / CONTENT AND AVAILABILITY

Ownership, changes, and limits

Your content and permission to operate the service

You keep ownership of information and material you submit or share through LanternLobby, subject to the rights needed to store, display, and process it to provide the service to your group. You are responsible for having permission to share anything you add.

The LanternLobby name, visual identity, interface, original text, and other site materials belong to the operator or its licensors unless stated otherwise. You may view and use them for ordinary personal, non-commercial use of the service. Do not copy, sell, publish, modify, reverse engineer, or commercially exploit them except where applicable law permits or the rights holder has given permission.

Availability and changes

The operator may update, suspend, restrict, or discontinue parts of the site or app, including to maintain security, fix problems, or change features. Reasonable efforts may be made to keep information available, but uninterrupted access, error-free operation, permanent storage, or compatibility with every device cannot be promised.

Features and these terms may be updated as LanternLobby develops. The current version should be reviewed when you return. If a change materially affects your use, the site owner should provide an appropriate notice before it takes effect where required. Continuing to use the service after an update means you accept the revised terms to the extent permitted by law.

04 / WHEN USE ENDS

Disclaimers, ending use, and contact

LanternLobby is provided as a practical planning service. To the extent permitted by law, the operator does not promise that a session will happen, that players will attend, that a selected game will work, or that the service will meet every particular purpose. Information on the site is general and should not be treated as a guarantee about third-party products or services.

To the extent permitted by law, the operator is not responsible for losses caused by events outside its reasonable control, third-party games or platforms, connectivity problems, device failure, unauthorised access resulting from a user’s failure to protect access, or content supplied by users. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limits consumer, privacy, or other rights that cannot be waived.

You may stop using LanternLobby at any time. The operator may suspend or end access where use breaches these terms, creates a security or legal risk, or where the service is discontinued. Provisions concerning ownership, responsible use, disclaimers, limitations, and matters that naturally continue after use ends may remain relevant afterward.

Contact: No verified publisher contact details were supplied with this draft. Before publication, the site owner must add a direct contact route for questions about these terms and clearly identify the operator. Do not rely on this placeholder as a contact method.
