Terms of Service - Feline's Ragdoll Sandbox

The TL;DR Version

We require you to read the full terms below, but here is the simplified breakdown of our Platform Survival rules:

16+ Age Guideline (New): To comply with Roblox's updated maturity platform rules, the game is now restricted to accounts registered as 16 or older. Native age-gating is active.
Free-to-Play: The old whitelist application process is fully disabled. Anyone meeting the native Roblox age criteria can join and play instantly.
Public vs. Private Zoning: We enforce a strict "100% SFW" policy in Public Servers to protect the game from Roblox deletion. Private Servers offer a sandbox environment where player intent is unmonitored, provided you adhere to Roblox TOS.
Zero Tolerance for Minor Endangerment: No harassment, no exploits, and absolutely no sexualization of minors. This results in a permanent platform blacklist.
Assumption of Risk: The game and Discord are provided "as is". You are responsible for your own conduct, private server management, and account safety.

Important Disclaimers

Your use of the game constitutes your agreement to these critical points:

Platform Age Compliance: FRS leverages Roblox's native age-gating guidelines. Attempting to bypass the 16+ age restriction using false accounts, exploits, or third-party methods constitutes a direct breach of these Terms.
Private Server Privacy: We do not log, monitor, or have access to your activity or messages in your private server. The contents and moderation of private servers are the sole responsibility of the server owner and participants, who must still adhere to the Roblox Terms of Use.
"As-Is" Service: The game and all related services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service or freedom from bugs and glitches.
Assumption of Risk: You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users. We are not responsible for the conduct, content, or actions of any player in any server, public or private.

1. Preamble & Acceptance

Welcome to Feline's Ragdoll Sandbox, a Roblox game experience and associated Discord server (collectively, the "Services"). The Services are created and operated by Instructure (hereinafter referred to as "Developers," "we," "us," or "our"), a development group owned by star_steps. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "player") and the Developers.

By accessing or participating in any part of the Services, you expressly acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms and the official Roblox Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you are prohibited from using the Services.

2. Content Warning, Theme, and Context

The Services are built around a robust physics engine featuring extreme size differences (macro/micro scaling). This includes mechanics such as stomping, throwing, and physics-based interactions between players of vastly different scales.

We acknowledge that within the wider internet, these themes can overlap with specific subcultures and interests. To protect our community and ensure compliance with Roblox's updated platform rules, we have retired the old application whitelist and established a permanent **16+ Age Guideline**. We do not moderate based on your personal interests; we moderate based on Platform Compliance. You accept that you may encounter these themes, and you are solely responsible for evaluating the suitability of the game for yourself.

3. Jurisdiction & Instance Zoning

To balance the freedom of a physics sandbox with the strict reality of Roblox's Terms of Service, we operate on a "Zoned Jurisdiction" model. Your behavioral boundaries depend entirely on the type of server you occupy.

The Dual-Environment Standard

[ ZONE 1 ] PUBLIC SERVERS

Status: Strictly Moderated Storefront
Public instances are heavily monitored and completely Free-to-Play for accounts aged 16 and older. To protect the game from platform deletion, there is a Zero-Tolerance policy for suggestive roleplay. If a moderator determines that your actions or chat messages appear to be intended for sexual gratification or fetish-roleplay, you will be kicked or banned. No exceptions.

[ ZONE 2 ] PRIVATE SERVERS

Status: Unmonitored Sandbox
Private instances are your domain (available for 49 Robux). We do not police the "intent" of your roleplay behind closed doors, and your F3X building tool creations will save automatically throughout the runtime. You are granted full sandbox freedom, provided you do not violate core Roblox laws (e.g., exploiting, injecting actual NSFW imagery, or any behavior that endangers minors).

4. Universal User Conduct

Regardless of your Zone (Public or Private), the following activities are universally prohibited and will result in a permanent blacklist from the Services:

Minor Safety Violations: Any behavior, explicit or implicit, that compromises the safety of younger users or involves the sexualization of minors.
Harassment & Abuse: Bullying, threatening, stalking, or discriminatory behavior toward other users or Staff.
Exploitation & Cheating: Utilizing third-party software, scripts, cheats, or exploiting bugs to gain an unfair advantage, bypass age restrictions, or bypass chat filters.
Illegal Content: Distributing illegal, graphically violent, or objectively pornographic material via chat or third-party links.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

Feline's Ragdoll Sandbox, including the core physics engine, custom code, UI, and logos, are the exclusive property of Instructure. The original map layout is utilized with the official, express permission of its original creator, sabig. You are granted a personal, revocable license to play the game; you are not permitted to steal, decompile, or re-upload our assets.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The services are provided on a strictly "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permissible by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied. We make no warranties regarding the conduct of other users in private or public servers. Your use of the services, and your exposure to other players, is solely at your own risk.

7. Limitation of Liability & Indemnification

In no event shall the developers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. We bear no liability for instances of user sexualization of minors, child endangerment, or other illegal user conduct occurring within the services, as such actions are exclusively outside of our direct control. You agree to fully indemnify and hold harmless Instructure from any claims arising out of your violation of these terms.

8. Governing Law & Contact

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA. For inquiries, appeals, or to report a severe violation of these Terms, please contact us via our official Discord server or email at [email protected]. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time; continued use constitutes acceptance of those changes.
