📜 Terms of Service
Last updated: 14 July 2026
Applies to: dsnakes.com · games.dsnakes.com · social.dsnakes.com · kenionek.dsnakes.com · account.dsnakes.com
In short: the DSnakes Network is a hobby-turned-real project run by one person, not a
company. Be decent to other users, don't abuse the service, and understand that this is a small
independent project without the guarantees a large company might offer. Your statutory consumer
rights under EU/Belgian law are never reduced by anything below.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
By creating an account on, or otherwise using, any site in the DSnakes Network
(dsnakes.com, games.dsnakes.com, social.dsnakes.com, kenionek.dsnakes.com, and account.dsnakes.com),
you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please don't use the service. If you're
using the service on behalf of someone else (for example a child), you confirm you're authorized to
accept these terms for them.
These terms work together with our Privacy Policy, which explains what
data we collect and why — please read both.
2. Who Operates This Service
The DSnakes Network is operated by an individual — referred to here as "Kenionek," "the operator,"
"we," or "DSnakes" — based in Belgium. DSnakes is not a registered
company; it is run as an individual, personal project. References to "DSnakes" throughout
these terms mean the operator personally, trading under that name.

3. Eligibility & Accounts
- You must be at least 13 years old to create an account (or the higher minimum age of digital consent set by your country's implementation of the GDPR, if applicable).
- You're responsible for keeping your password and any two-factor authentication method secure, and for all activity that happens under your account. Tell us immediately at info@dsnakes.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
- One account is shared across every site that requires login (games, social, account) — signing in on one signs you in everywhere.
- You must provide a working email address you actually control, since it's used for login recovery and security alerts.
- Accounts are personal to you and may not be sold, transferred, or shared with anyone else.
4. Acceptable Use
When using any part of the network, you agree not to:
- Harass, threaten, bully, or abuse other users, including through chat, comments, posts, or voice/video calls.
- Upload or share content that is illegal, infringes someone else's rights (including copyright), is sexually explicit involving minors, or promotes violence, hate, or discrimination.
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to another account, or to any part of our systems or infrastructure (including probing, scanning, or exploiting vulnerabilities without our prior written permission — see below on responsible disclosure).
- Use bots, scripts, or automation to inflate scores, leaderboard rankings, or engagement, or to scrape the service at scale.
- Use the location-based Hangouts/Bubbles features to stalk, track, or endanger another person.
- Send spam, unsolicited advertising, or malware through chat, posts, or any other feature.
- Interfere with the normal operation of the service (e.g. denial-of-service attempts) or bypass rate limits/security controls.
Found a security issue? We welcome responsible disclosure — email
info@dsnakes.com with details before disclosing publicly, and
don't access, modify, or delete data beyond what's needed to demonstrate the issue.
5. Your Content & Our License to Use It
"Your content" means anything you upload, post, or send through the network — posts, comments,
photos, videos (including Shorts, longform videos, remixes, and Bubbles), music tracks, profile
information, and chat messages.
- You own your content. We don't claim ownership of anything you create or upload.
- You grant us a license to host and display it. By uploading content, you give DSnakes a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, host, reproduce, and display that content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the service to you and the users you share it with (e.g. showing your video to your friends, or on a public tutorial/video/music page if you chose to make it public).
- You're responsible for what you upload. You confirm you have the necessary rights to anything you upload (e.g. it's your own original music/video, or you're otherwise authorized to share it), and that it doesn't violate section 4 above or anyone else's rights.
- The license ends when your content is removed. If you delete a post, video, or track (or delete your account), the license ends for that content, subject to reasonable time for removal from backups and any copies already legitimately shared or cached by other users before deletion.
- Report function. If you believe content violates these terms, use the in-app report feature (posts, tutorials, videos, music, users) or email us.
6. Moderation, Suspension & Termination
- We may remove content, or suspend or terminate an account, that violates these terms — including content flagged through reports and reviewed by an admin.
- Where practical, we'll aim to be proportionate (e.g. removing a single offending post rather than banning an account outright for a first, minor issue), but we reserve the right to act immediately for serious violations (e.g. illegal content, harassment, security abuse).
- You can delete your own account at any time via account.dsnakes.com. See our Privacy Policy for exactly what account deletion does (in short: your personal data is anonymized, not hard-deleted, so other users' shared content like group chats and comment threads stays intact).
- Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law) continue to apply after your account is closed.
7. Intellectual Property
Aside from user content (section 5), the DSnakes Network — including its code, design, graphics, the
Kenionek mascot/branding, and original game assets — is the intellectual property of the operator or
its licensors. You may not copy, redistribute, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from the
platform itself (as opposed to your own uploaded content) without prior written permission.
8. Third-Party Services & Links
Some features rely on third-party services (for example, Google Sign-In, GIPHY, embedded YouTube/
Spotify players, and OpenStreetMap-based map/geocoding services) — see our
Privacy Policy for the full list. We aren't responsible for
the content, policies, or practices of third-party services or any external site you reach through a
link on the network.
9. Availability & Changes to the Service
This is an independent, self-hosted project run by one person, not a large company with a dedicated
uptime team. We don't guarantee the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all
times, and we may add, change, or remove features (or, in the unlikely event the project needs to
shut down, discontinue the service) at our discretion. We'll try to give reasonable notice for
anything major where practical.
10. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided "as is" and "as
available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including
(without limitation) implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and
non-infringement. We don't warrant that the service will be secure, uninterrupted, or free of
errors, or that any content (including user content) is accurate or reliable.
Nothing in this section limits any statutory guarantee or consumer protection right you have
under mandatory Belgian or EU law that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited — where such a
right applies, it applies regardless of anything above.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the operator will not be liable for any indirect,
incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill,
arising from your use of (or inability to use) the service — even if advised of the possibility of
such damages. Where liability cannot legally be excluded, the operator's total liability for any
claim relating to the service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12
months before the claim (which, since the network is currently free to use, will typically be €0),
or (b) €50.
This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory
Belgian or EU law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for
fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
12. Governing Law & Disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of Belgium, without regard to conflict-of-law
principles. If you are a consumer resident in the EU, you also benefit from any mandatory consumer
protection provisions of the law of your own country of residence, and nothing here removes your
right to bring proceedings in your local courts where EU consumer law guarantees that right, or your
right to use the EU's
Online Dispute Resolution
platform. Subject to that, the courts of Belgium have jurisdiction over any dispute not otherwise
resolved directly with us.
We'd genuinely rather sort out a problem directly — please email
info@dsnakes.com before pursuing anything formal.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time, for example as the network gains new features. The
"last updated" date at the top will change when we do. For significant changes, we'll aim to give
notice (such as a site-wide announcement) before they take effect. Continuing to use the service
after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.
