The fine print
Terms
Last updated November 8, 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, family, club and community 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 license key by email. One license covers one household: you and the people you live with can use the key on all of your devices. Don't share it outside your household, sell it 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 on the website are processed by Stripe under its own terms, and any tax is shown at checkout. In the Android app from Google Play, Pro is sold through Google Play under its terms, and the 14-day refund below still applies.
A free Pro night is a promotion for devices that never had Pro: it costs nothing, and we may change or end the offer.
Gifts
You can buy Pro for someone else. The key is theirs and covers their household. If the recipient's email doesn't work, we send the gift to you to pass on.
Printables
Printables are PDF files delivered through a download page and an email link. The link works for a year; download the files and keep them. You may print as many copies as you like for your own home, classroom, club or event. Please don't resell the files, share them online or include them in products you sell.
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.
The same goes for printables: email us within 14 days for a refund. The download link stops working 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, unless you've sent them to another phone with Pro. 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 us (for Pro or printables), 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.
