This summary is for convenience only and is not part of the Terms. The full Terms below govern.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you" or "user") and lounge-card ("we," "us," or "lounge-card"), which operates the lounge-card website, builder ("Studio"), and OBS overlay (together, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, purchasing a Pro key, or installing an overlay, you agree to these Terms and to our handling of data as described here. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use the Service, and old enough to form a binding contract where you live. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.
lounge-card provides a customizable on-stream rank card that displays publicly available Mario Kart lounge ranking data. The Service has a free tier ("Basic") that requires no key, and a paid tier ("Pro") unlocked by an access key, which enables additional animation and effects. We may add, change, or remove features at any time. Optional add-ons (such as effect packs) may be offered separately.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for your personal streaming. You may not copy, resell, redistribute, reverse engineer, or create derivative products from the Service or its underlying software, except as permitted by applicable law or an open-source licence we expressly provide.
The Service lets you supply your own assets — most importantly a background image or GIF referenced by a URL you provide, plus a display name and flag. You ("Your Content") are solely responsible for it. You represent and warrant that:
Your background is loaded client-side in your own browser/OBS from the URL you supply; we do not host, store, or redistribute it. You grant us only the limited technical permission needed to render Your Content within your overlay. We do not claim ownership of Your Content, and we may refuse or remove any reference to content that we believe violates these Terms.
You agree not to use the Service to display, link to, or distribute content that:
You also agree not to misuse access keys as described in Section 4. We may suspend or terminate access for any violation.
The Service's software, design, original animations and effects, text, and branding (excluding Your Content and third-party marks) are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited licence in Section 6, no rights are granted to you in our intellectual property.
lounge-card is an independent, unofficial tool. It is not made by, affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Nintendo, MKCentral, MKW Lounge, Retro Rewind, or any sports club, esports team, or other rights-holder. Mario Kart and all related names, characters, and marks are trademarks of Nintendo. Any other product names, club names, team names, or logos are the property of their respective owners and are used, if at all, only nominally to describe compatibility or factual associations. Use of such names does not imply any endorsement.
The Service displays ranking data retrieved from independent, third-party lounge services, which may include MKCentral, MKW Lounge, Retro Rewind / Retro WFC, and other public sources. We do not control these services, do not guarantee the accuracy, availability, or continuity of their data, and are not responsible for their content or conduct. Access may be rate-limited, changed, interrupted, or discontinued by those providers at any time, which may degrade or disable parts of the Service. Your use of any third-party service may also be subject to that provider's own terms.
We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to valid notices. If you believe content displayed through, or referenced by, the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to loungecard.help@gmail.com including:
Because user backgrounds are loaded from URLs the user controls and are not hosted by us, we may also direct you to the host of the material. We may remove or disable references to allegedly infringing material and terminate the access of repeat infringers. A user whose content was removed may submit a counter-notice with equivalent information.
THE SERVICE AND ALL DATA ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that data shown will be accurate or current. You use the Service at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or revenue, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD $25. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to Your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or of any third-party right.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service (including any key) at any time if you violate these Terms, misuse the Service, or create risk or legal exposure for us or others. You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 7–9 and 13–18) will survive.
We may modify the Service or these Terms at any time. If we make material changes to the Terms, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where practical, provide notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute will be resolved in the state and federal courts located in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.
We run two analytics tools on the landing page and in the Studio. Vercel Web Analytics counts page views. PostHog records anonymized session replays and builds heatmaps. Both log the same five actions: unlocking Pro with a key, copying an overlay URL, clicking through to buy (from either page), sending a card built on a phone to a PC, and a lounge name the site could not find. That last one sends the game you were searching on, never the name you typed.
We use campaign labels in shared links to measure which promotions bring visits and Pro purchases. We keep the label for your visit in session storage and include it with counts of buy clicks and overlay URL copies, and with eligible Stripe checkout links.
We also use PostHog to diagnose application errors on the landing page, in the Studio, and in selected server endpoints. We send error types and recognized source locations after removing error messages, personal data, and access keys. We do not link these error reports to your session replay or visitor profile.
PostHog sets cookies to tie a visit together and captures how you move and click through a page. It also records what you type into the card fields (lounge name, game, flag, font) so we can see the setup you built when you write in asking why it won't load. Every other field is masked before it leaves your browser. Your access key and your finished OBS URL are never recorded. The overlay carries no analytics. Nothing loads on it but your card.
We use what we collect to improve the Service, and we do not sell it. PostHog stores it under its own privacy policy.
You can sign in with Google and save Pro keys in the gated account preview. We're still building the other account features below. This section sets out the privacy policy for account features. Basic and Pro work without an account, and a card in OBS never signs in.
What an account stores
We ask Google for your id, email and basic profile, and nothing else. We never see your Google password.
Why we keep it
To recognize you when you come back, list your keys, and bring your looks and times to a new browser. We use it for nothing else. We do not sell it, and we do not share it with anyone, except the services that store it for us: Supabase holds the data and Vercel runs the site.
How long we keep it
Until you delete the account. An account that has held no key for 30 days is removed automatically.
How to delete it
Open your account page and choose Delete account. That unpairs the phones you paired, removes the keys from the account, and deletes your saved looks, your times, and your sign-in record. Your keys keep working in OBS. A key is tied to your purchase, not to your account.
Analytics are covered in Section 20. Questions about your data? Write to loungecard.help@gmail.com.
