Chirp Coop

Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-05-19

1. Introductory provisions

1.1 The operator

These Terms of Service (the Terms) govern the use of Chirp Coop (the Game), the idle egg-draw collection mobile-and-web game published at chirpcoop.com and on the Apple App Store and Google Play. The Game is operated by Remény Farm Kft. (the Operator), a Hungarian limited-liability company.

The Operator's full identification data is also published in the Impressum.

1.2 Scope and acceptance

These Terms set out the binding agreement between the Operator and any natural person who creates a Chirp Coop account (a Player) or who uses the Game without creating an account. By installing the Game, creating an account, or making an in-app purchase, the Player accepts these Terms and the associated Privacy Policy.

These Terms govern the Game. They are distinct from the Hungarian-language General Terms (the ASZF, in Hungarian rendered as the local-language general terms of service) at /aszf on the patron host tyuk.remeny.farm, which govern the separate real-chicken care service. Both documents share the same legal entity, governing law, and processor list, but they describe different services and impose different obligations.

1.3 Language

The authoritative version of these Terms is the English text published at chirpcoop.com/terms. Translations into other languages are provided for convenience; in the event of a discrepancy, the English text prevails.

2. Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms, the following capitalised terms have the meanings set out below.

3. License to use the Game

3.1 Grant of licence

Subject to the Player's continued compliance with these Terms, the Operator grants the Player a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install, access, and play the Game for the Player's personal, non-commercial entertainment. The licence is granted for the term during which the Player's Account remains active and these Terms remain in force.

3.2 Reservation of rights

All rights not expressly granted to the Player are reserved by the Operator and, where applicable, by the Operator's licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of the Game, of any in-Game item, of any Queen, or of any Operator content to the Player.

3.3 Restrictions

The Player must not, and must not permit any third party to:

  1. reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Game, except to the extent that the applicable mandatory law authorises such acts (in particular, the interoperability exception in Directive (EU) 2009/24/EC, transposed into Hungarian copyright law);
  2. modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Game, other than user-generated content explicitly accepted by the Game's submission flow;
  3. distribute, sublicense, rent, lease, sell, or otherwise transfer access to the Game or to any Account;
  4. use cheats, exploits, automation tools, bots, scrapers, packet manipulators, modified clients, memory editors, or any other technical means that bypass the Game's intended interaction model;
  5. circumvent or attempt to circumvent the Game's anti-cheat, rate-limiting, or fraud-detection mechanisms;
  6. use the Game in a manner that is intended to disrupt the experience of other Players, including but not limited to denial-of-service, spam, or coordinated harassment campaigns.

Breach of this section is a material breach of these Terms and may result in suspension or termination of the Account under section 9.

4. Account registration and eligibility

4.1 Account creation

Account creation is required to access most Game features. Authentication is provided by Supabase through an email magic-link mechanism: the Player provides an email address, receives a one-time sign-in link, and is signed in once the link is consumed. The Operator does not store passwords on the Player's behalf.

A Player may hold only one Account. The Operator reserves the right to merge or close duplicate Accounts that appear to be operated by the same natural person, after notice to the Player.

4.2 Minimum age

The Game is intended for Players aged 13 and over. The Operator does not knowingly create Accounts for, or address marketing to, children under 13.

Under Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the GDPR), the lawful processing of a child's personal data on the basis of consent requires verified parental authorisation if the child is below the consent age set by the child's Member State. In Hungary, that age is 16 for processing based on consent. For Players resident in the European Union who are aged 13 to 15, the Operator obtains and verifies parental or guardian consent before completing Account creation. Verified consent flows through the Player's platform-level parental-controls service (Apple Family Sharing, Google Family Library, or the equivalent) where available, and through a dedicated in-Game flow where it is not.

4.4 Real-money purchases

In-app purchases by Players who are under the age of majority in their country of residence are gated by the platform-level parental controls offered by Apple Family Sharing and Google Family Library. The Operator does not bypass those controls and does not offer a parallel purchase flow that circumvents them.

4.5 Patron tier and the separate 18-plus real-chicken service

The real-chicken care service at tyuk.remeny.farm is a separate product with its own general terms (/aszf) and is reserved for natural persons aged 18 and over, in line with Hungarian contract-capacity rules. Nothing in these Terms grants a minor access to the real-chicken care service. The in-Game surface that mirrors a Player's real-chicken status is governed by these Terms; the underlying service is governed by the separate Hungarian-language general terms.

4.6 Account security

The Player is responsible for keeping the email inbox bound to the Account secure and for promptly notifying the Operator of any unauthorised access. Magic links sent to that inbox grant access to the Account; the Player must not share the link or forward it to third parties.

4.7 Suspension for false data

If the Player provides false or misleading information during Account creation (in particular, a false age or a false parental-consent record), the Operator may suspend or close the Account under section 9, without refund of unconsumed in-Game balances except where mandatory consumer-protection rules require otherwise.

5. In-app purchases, Egg Draws, Rare Guarantees, and the no-pay-to-win commitment

5.1 What in-app purchases unlock

In-app purchases in the Game unlock only:

  1. Cosmetics — visual changes to the Queen, the coop, the Player's profile, and the Game's environmental layers;
  2. Virtual gifts — social or cosmetic gifts that have no cash value and do not change ranked scoring;
  3. Convenience boosts — friction-reducing utilities such as one-tap collection, expanded inventory slots, and accelerated visual animations that do not change the underlying schedule of Game events or ranked scoring;
  4. Narrative content — paid story chapters, lore unlocks, and cosmetic dialogue lines that do not change Game mechanics;
  5. Egg Draws — additional draws against the published probability tables described in section 5.3, subject to published odds, visible Rare Guarantee state, pool rules, and purchase limits.

The Operator commits, contractually and in product design, that no in-app purchase will:

This commitment is the no-pay-to-win rule of the Game. It is non-waivable and is enforced internally as a binding invariant of the Game's design.

5.2 Patron tier and the non-stacking, unranked +10 % queen-XP cap

The Patron tier (the optional real-chicken care subscription described in section 4.5) grants a small, capped in-Game effect: the Player's Queen earns at most +10 % queen experience points (queen-XP) while the Patron tier is active. This effect is aggregate, non-stacking, and unranked-only. It:

The cap is fixed by the Operator's internal design rules and may only be lowered, not raised, without an amendment to these Terms publicly announced at least 30 days in advance.

5.3 Egg Draw odds and the Rare Guarantee

The Operator publishes, inside the Game, the complete odds of every Egg Draw pool offered to the Player, including:

The Rare Guarantee of the Game is a fifty-draw guaranteed-rare floor: every Player is guaranteed at least one rare-tier or higher item by the fiftieth consecutive draw that does not otherwise produce a rare-tier or higher item. The Rare Guarantee counter is per-Player and per-pool, and it persists across sessions until it is consumed.

The Operator commits not to modify the published odds or the Rare Guarantee parameters without an in-Game announcement at least seven days in advance, except where a smaller change is required to fix a verified defect (in which case the Operator publishes the change as soon as the defect is identified).

The Operator does not use hidden probabilities, paid-user odds boosts, near-miss presentations, deceptive urgency, or other dark-pattern presentation that obscures the cost or probability of an Egg Draw.

5.4 Platforms, billing, and refunds

Mobile in-app purchases made through the Apple App Store and Google Play are completed and billed by the platform, with RevenueCat used for purchase and entitlement orchestration. Refund requests for those purchases are governed by the platform's own refund policy:

Real-chicken Patron checkout uses the patron web surface and Stripe Checkout, not mobile-native IAP or RevenueCat. Refunds for the real-chicken Patron service are handled under the Hungarian general terms and withdrawal notice linked from /aszf.

5.5 Virtual goods are not currency

In-Game items, including soft-currency balances such as feathers or coins, are licensed virtual goods, not legal tender, securities, or stored-value instruments. They have no monetary value outside the Game, are non-transferable between Accounts, and cannot be exchanged for cash. The Operator may adjust the Game's economy at any time to maintain fairness, subject to the no-pay-to-win commitment in section 5.1 and to applicable mandatory law.

5.6 Taxes

Prices displayed in the Game are inclusive of value-added tax (VAT) where the platform displays gross prices, and exclusive of VAT where the platform displays net prices. Any taxes payable by the Player on the Player's own income or wealth in connection with the Game are the Player's sole responsibility.

6. Identity continuity and profile permanence

6.1 One Queen per Player, never replaced

Each Player has exactly one Queen for the lifetime of the Account. The Queen is created at first hatch, is named by the Player within the Operator's content-policy limits (section 8), and is never replaced by a different Queen during the life of the Account. The Operator does not offer Queen rerolls, Queen swaps, or Queen deletions as part of normal Game operation, regardless of how much the Player has spent.

The single Queen is the Player's identity anchor inside the Game. Cosmetic and breed-skin items change the Queen's appearance; they do not change the underlying identity record.

6.2 Transcendence as a state transition

When the Queen reaches the in-Game life-end milestone, the Queen enters Transcendence. Transcendence is a state transition, not a deletion: the Queen's record is preserved, the Queen's public profile remains reachable, and the Queen's history (accumulated Chronicles, milestones, and named events) is preserved in full. After Transcendence the Player may, at the Operator's discretion and according to the published in-Game flow, receive a new Queen — but the Transcended Queen is not deleted and is not replaced by the new Queen in the Player's history.

6.3 Public profile permanence

The Queen's public profile, served at chirpcoop.com/{serial} and at the equivalent endpoint on the patron host, persists publicly after Transcendence and after Account closure. The profile contains:

The Player accepts permanent public-profile retention by accepting these Terms. The retention is part of the core design of the Game (identity continuity) and is a condition for participating in the Game's public surfaces.

6.4 Account deletion as redact-not-delete

If the Player requests Account deletion under Article 17 of the GDPR (the right to erasure), the Operator processes the request as a redact-not-delete operation against the Player's public patronage/profile record:

  1. The Player's display name, profile links, clan tag, and any other directly identifying personal data are replaced with an anonymised handle that cannot be linked back to the Player's identity.
  2. The Account's email address, payment-history metadata that is not required for accounting retention, and any non-public personal data are deleted from the Operator's primary database in accordance with the Operator's Privacy Policy.
  3. The Queen's public profile and the public-profile record of any linked Real Chicken are not deleted. The redact step removes the personal connection to the former Player; the in-Game identity record (Queen name, Queen history, Real Chicken history) remains public.

The legal basis for retaining the public-profile records after Account deletion is Article 17(3)(b) of the GDPR, which permits continued processing where it is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of the operator's legitimate interests in maintaining a public record of identity. By accepting these Terms the Player expressly accepts the redact-not-delete mechanism as a condition of participating in the Game's public-profile surfaces.

6.5 Real Chicken profile permanence

Where a Player held a Patron tier subscription and a Real Chicken's profile was linked to the Player's Account, the Real Chicken's public profile follows the same permanence rule as the Queen's profile. The Real Chicken's portrait, life history, and Chronicles remain publicly accessible after the end of the Patron tier subscription, after the symbolic life-end of the Real Chicken, and after Account deletion. The redact-not-delete mechanism in section 6.4 applies in the same way to the Player's identifying mentions on the Real Chicken's profile.

7. AI-generated content disclosure

7.1 Daily Morning Chronicle

The Game generates one Morning Chronicle entry per Queen per day. The Chronicle is a short text (typically two or three sentences) describing the Queen's day in the Game's lore voice. The Chronicle is produced by an artificial-intelligence model — currently Anthropic Claude Haiku — running through the Operator's services/ai pipeline.

7.2 Labelling

Every AI-generated entry is labelled as AI-generated inside the Game, with a visible tag or icon adjacent to the entry. The label is part of the entry and is not removable through cosmetic purchases.

7.3 Nature of AI content

Chronicle entries are creative narrative, not factual statements about any specific person, animal, place, or event in the real world. A Chronicle's description of a Queen's mood, behaviour, or experience is a stylised lore narration, not a veterinary, medical, or otherwise expert opinion. Where a Chronicle references a Real Chicken (for Patron-tier Players), the same rule applies: the Chronicle is creative, not a veterinary report on the actual hen.

7.4 No personal data in prompts

The Operator does not send Player-identifying personal data (email address, billing data, IP address) to the AI provider as part of the Chronicle generation prompt. The prompt contains in-Game state (Queen name, Queen mood derived from in-Game telemetry, recent in-Game events) and, for Patron-tier Players, anonymised group-level real-chicken telemetry. Detail of the AI processing flow is documented in the Privacy Policy.

7.5 Other AI-generated content

The Operator may, from time to time, use AI models for additional features (for example, procedural illustration, audio synthesis, or in-Game tooltips). Every such feature is labelled in-Game as AI-generated where the output is presented to the Player as content, and is governed by the same creative-not-factual disclaimer as the Chronicle.

8. Player content and acceptable use

8.1 What counts as Player content

Player content includes every piece of free-text data submitted by the Player, including:

8.2 Player warranties

By submitting Player content, the Player represents and warrants that:

  1. the Player has the right to submit the content and to grant the licence described in section 8.4;
  2. the content does not infringe any third party's intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights;
  3. the content does not contain personal data of any other natural person submitted without that person's lawful authorisation;
  4. the content complies with the acceptable-use rules in section 8.3.

8.3 Acceptable-use rules

The Player must not submit Player content that:

8.4 Licence to Operator

The Player grants the Operator a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable licence to use, reproduce, display, adapt, and otherwise host the Player content for the purposes of operating, promoting, and preserving the Game and its public profiles. The licence is granted for as long as it is necessary to operate the public profile to which the Player content is attached, including under the profile-permanence rule in section 6.

The Player retains all other rights to Player content and may at any time, subject to the redact-not-delete carve-out in section 6.4, request removal of specific Player content under section 8.6.

8.5 Operator moderation

The Operator may, at its discretion and without prior notice:

Moderation is best-effort. The absence of a moderation action on a particular piece of Player content does not constitute the Operator's endorsement or approval of that content.

8.6 Player removal requests

The Player may request removal of specific Player content at any time, by writing to the contact address listed in section 13.3. The Operator responds to removal requests within a reasonable time and in any event within 30 days. Removal of identifying mentions of the Player on the Queen's public profile is performed under the redact-not-delete mechanism of section 6.4; removal of the entire public profile is not available except where mandatory law explicitly requires it.

9. Termination and suspension

9.1 Termination by the Player

The Player may stop using the Game at any time. Uninstalling the Game from the Player's device does not, on its own, terminate the Account or any active subscription. To close the Account, the Player should follow the in-Game close-account flow or write to the contact address in section 13.3.

Closure of the Account is processed as a redact-not-delete operation under section 6.4. Unconsumed in-Game balances are forfeited on Account closure except where mandatory consumer-protection law requires otherwise.

9.2 Termination by the Operator

The Operator may suspend or terminate the Account, with or without notice depending on the severity, where:

9.3 Effects of termination

Termination ends the Player's licence to use the Game (section 3.1) and the Player's right to access the Account. The redact-not-delete rule in section 6.4 applies to the Queen's public profile. Provisions that by their nature survive termination (including sections 6, 8.4, 10, 11, and 12) survive termination.

9.4 Discontinuation of the Game

If the Operator discontinues the Game as a whole, the Operator will, where reasonably possible:

Refunds of consumed in-Game balances or of cosmetic items already delivered are not provided on discontinuation.

10. Limitation of liability

10.1 General cap

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable mandatory law, the Operator's aggregate liability to the Player arising out of or in connection with the Game and these Terms is capped at the total amount actually paid by the Player to the Operator (directly or through the Apple App Store, Google Play, RevenueCat, or Stripe) during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

10.2 Mandatory carve-outs

The cap in section 10.1 does not apply to:

10.3 Excluded categories

Subject to section 10.2, the Operator is not liable for:

10.4 AI-generated content

The Operator is not liable for any decision the Player or any third party takes in reliance on AI-generated Chronicle content. Chronicle entries are creative narration (section 7.3); they are not professional advice of any kind.

10.5 Force majeure

The Operator is not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events outside the Operator's reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disaster, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, strikes, government action, epidemic, pandemic, infrastructure failure, or platform-level outages at Apple, Google, Vercel, or Supabase. Where a force-majeure event prevents the Operator from delivering a paid feature, the Operator will, where reasonably possible, extend the affected subscription term in lieu of monetary compensation.

11. Third-party services

11.1 Processors and integrations

The Game depends on a set of third-party services. The current processor list, with the legal basis and category of processing for each, is published in the Privacy Policy. At the date of these Terms the principal processors used by the Game are:

Transfers of personal data to processors based outside the European Economic Area rely either on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework adequacy decision (where the processor is certified) or on standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission, as documented in the Privacy Policy.

11.2 Third-party platform terms

Where the Game runs on the Apple App Store or Google Play, the platform's own terms of service apply to the Player's use of the platform itself. Where an in-app purchase is completed by Apple or Google, the platform's refund and billing rules apply to that purchase. The Operator is not a party to those platform terms and does not represent the Player in interactions with the platform.

The Game may contain links to third-party websites and services. The Operator is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of those third parties. Following an external link is at the Player's own risk.

12. Dispute resolution

12.1 Governing law

These Terms are governed by Hungarian law, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and subject to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of the Player's country of habitual residence where those rules grant the Player a higher level of protection. The following Hungarian statutes apply in particular:

12.2 Jurisdiction

Subject to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of the Player's country of residence, the courts of Hungary have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Game. The Operator's home court is the registry court named in section 1.1.

12.3 Complaint handling

Before initiating any formal proceedings, the Player should first contact the Operator at the email address listed in section 1.1 and in section 13.3. The Operator responds to written complaints in substance within 30 calendar days of receipt.

12.4 EU online dispute resolution

The European Commission operates an online dispute resolution (ODR) platform for the out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes:

The platform is available to Players resident in the European Union. Use of the platform is not mandatory.

12.5 Hungarian conciliation board

A Hungarian-resident Player or any Player who has chosen Hungarian-language dispute resolution may, before going to court, refer the dispute to the conciliation board competent for the Operator's seat:

Use of the conciliation board is voluntary and does not prejudice the Player's right to seek judicial remedies.

13. Closing provisions

13.1 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision is severed from these Terms to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. The Operator and the Player shall replace the severed provision with a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the original intent.

13.2 Amendments

The Operator may amend these Terms — in particular, in response to changes in applicable law, in the Game's design, or in the Operator's service offering — by publishing the amended Terms at chirpcoop.com/terms and, where the change is material, by notifying active Players by email or by an in-Game banner at least 30 days before the amended Terms take effect. A material amendment includes:

Players who do not accept a material amendment may close the Account before the amended Terms take effect; continued use of the Game after that date constitutes acceptance.

13.3 Contact

The Player may contact the Operator about these Terms at:

The Operator publishes its full identification data, including the registry court and tax number, in section 1.1 above and in the Impressum.

13.4 Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the documents incorporated by reference in them, constitute the entire agreement between the Operator and the Player in relation to the Game, and supersede any prior agreement or understanding on the same subject matter. The Operator's policies referenced in these Terms (the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, the in-Game odds publications, and the Operator's published refund policy) are an integral part of these Terms.
