Terms of use
The rules for using Random Duck Race, kept as short and readable as we could make them.
1. Accepting these terms
By using Random Duck Race (the “Service”) at randomduckrace.com you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Service. Simple as that.
2. The Service
Random Duck Race is a free, browser-based entertainment tool: you race up to 1,000 ducks to make random decisions, play games, teach classes, run streams — or just have fun. Rooms let players join a race from their own phones. No account is needed. The Service is provided free of charge, “as is” and “as available”.
3. Accounts
An account is optional and is made by signing in with Google. Keep your Google account safe, and tell us if you think someone else is using yours. You can ask us to delete your account at any time.
4. Your responsibilities
You agree to:
- use the Service legally and respectfully;
- not enter names, chat messages or pictures that are illegal, hateful, harassing or that you have no right to use;
- not try to break, overload, hack or reverse-engineer the Service or its room server;
- not use bots, scripts or other tools to interfere with races or rooms.
If you host a room, you are responsible for the room: who you let in, the chat, and the picture you upload as its background.
5. Allowed uses (go wild!)
You’re welcome to use Random Duck Race for:
- classroom activities and random student selection;
- office games, team building, and deciding who does the coffee run;
- YouTube, Twitch, TikTok or any livestream and video — including giveaways;
- family and friends entertainment, events and parties;
- embedding the race on your own website with the embed code we provide.
6. Prohibited uses (please don’t)
- gambling, betting or any real-money wagering on race results, and paid raffles, lotteries or any draw people pay to enter;
- copying, rehosting or framing the game other than through our embed code;
- selling access to the Service, or presenting it as your own;
- using it to harass, bully or harm anyone.
7. Ownership
The code, design, graphics, duck skins, music, sounds and everything else that makes up the Service belong to Random Duck Race and its creator. You may not copy, clone, sell or redistribute them without written permission. Linking to us, sharing results and screenshots, and showing the race in your videos and streams are all welcome — we love that.
8. What you put in
The names, messages and pictures you enter stay yours, and you are responsible for them. By entering them you confirm you have the right to use them. Room content is deleted when the room ends; see the privacy policy for details. We may remove content or end a room that breaks these terms.
9. No warranty (it’s free ducks, not NASA)
We work hard to keep the Service running smoothly and fairly, but we can’t promise it will always be available, error-free or work perfectly on every device — or that your favourite duck will win. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from using the Service. Use it at your own risk.
10. Third-party services
The Service uses third-party providers (see the privacy policy) and lets you share to other platforms; their own terms apply to their services. If we show advertising in the future, we are not responsible for the content of third-party ads.
11. Changes
We may update these terms from time to time; the latest version is always on this page, with the date at the top. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
