The fine print

Terms

Last updated September 27, 2026. These terms apply to the Pipside website and app at pipside.app.

What Pipside is

Pipside is a companion for people playing dominoes in person. It keeps score, adds up the pips left in each hand, and teaches the game in short lessons. It doesn't replace your table's rules. Pipside is an independent product and isn't affiliated with any domino maker or league.

Using Pipside

Scoring games, both game modes, house rules, the celebrations and every lesson are free for personal, non-commercial use. You may install Pipside on any of your devices.

Pipside Pro

Pro is a one-time purchase (currently $4.99) that unlocks the Pro features described on the Pro page. It's delivered as a licence key by email. One licence is for one person: use your key on every device you personally use, but don't share, sell or publish it. We may invalidate keys that are shared publicly.

Keys are checked offline and don't expire. Because the app stores your key in your browser, clearing site data or switching devices means entering it again, so keep the email that delivered it. Lost keys are re-issued on request to the email address used to buy. Game modes described as coming are added to Pro when they're ready, at no extra cost.

Purchases are processed by Stripe under its own terms. Any tax is shown at checkout.

Refunds

If Pro isn't what you expected, email support@pipside.app within 14 days of buying and we'll refund it, no questions asked. The key stops being valid after a refund.

Rules and accuracy

Domino rules and bonuses vary by region and by family. Pipside's scoring follows the options you choose in setup and house rules, and the lessons describe common ways to play. Neither is a ruling: your table's rules always come first.

Acceptable use

Don't redistribute the app or its lessons as your own, or use it in a way that breaks the law. Sharing scores and screenshots is always fine.

No warranty, limited liability

The app is provided "as is". We work to keep it accurate and available but don't guarantee it will be error-free or uninterrupted, and we aren't responsible for the outcome of any game. Your games and records live in your browser, so clearing site data or switching devices will lose them. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid for Pro, if any.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version, and continued use after a change means you accept it. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA. Questions: support@pipside.app.
