HardHat Terms & Community Guidelines

The short version

HardHat is games with stakes between friends. Keep it funny, keep it safe, and keep it between people who are in on the joke. By creating an account you agree to these terms.

Who can play

• You must be 13 or older.
• One account per person. Don’t impersonate anyone.
• You’re responsible for what you post and send.

Zero tolerance

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Don’t post, send, or show on a video call:

• Harassment, bullying, threats, or content meant to humiliate someone.
• Hate speech or content attacking people for who they are.
• Nudity, sexual content, or anything sexual involving minors.
• Violence, self-harm, or anything that encourages it.
• Illegal activity, drugs, weapons, or private information about other people.
• Spam, scams, or links meant to trick people.

Dares must be safe

• Never set or do a dare that could hurt anyone, damage property, break the law, or involve someone who hasn’t agreed to it.
• Pranks must be harmless and reversible — if the person on the other end wouldn’t laugh about it later, don’t do it.
• You can always chicken out. No dare is worth getting hurt over.

Reporting & blocking

Every message, proof, story and profile can be reported, and you can block any player — blocking also hangs up any call with them, and only friends (people who follow each other) can call you. We review every report within 24 hours. Content that breaks these rules is removed, and the people who post it are suspended or permanently banned. A suspended account can’t sign in until the suspension ends, and its posts are hidden while it lasts; you’re told why, and for how long, when you try to sign in. If you think we got it wrong, email us.

Coins & purchases

• Coins are a virtual item for use in HardHat only. They have no cash value, can’t be sold, cashed out or exchanged for money, and never expire.
• You can earn coins by playing and buy coin packs — in the iOS app through Apple’s In-App Purchase, or on the HardHat web store through Stripe. Prices are shown before you pay.
• Purchases are final except where the law says otherwise. Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com); for web store purchases, email us. Coins from a refunded or charged-back payment are removed from your balance, even if that takes it below zero.
• Coins you buy and bonus coins (sign-up, invites) can be spent on anything in HardHat but can’t be traded or given to other players. Coins you get as a gift or a tip are the same: yours to spend, not to pass on.
• We may correct a balance that’s wrong because of a bug, a refund or fraud, and we may add coins (for example to make up for a problem).
• We may close the coin store for a while (for example during maintenance). Purchases you’ve already paid for always reach your account.

Gifts & tips

• You can send a friend coins you earned by playing (not bought or bonus coins), or buy them a look for their Locker with any of your coins. Gifts are only between friends, have daily limits, and aren’t available between an adult and someone under 18.
• If you’re 18 or older you can tip an adult creator coins on their Reel posts. Tips go to the creator as coins to spend in HardHat.
• Gifts and tips are final — they can’t be taken back once sent. Gifts and tips paid for with refunded or charged-back coins, or used for fraud, may be removed, and the accounts involved can be banned. Never sell or buy gifts, coins or accounts for money; it isn’t allowed.

Live (18+)

• Going live, watching, chatting and donating are for players 18 and older (HardHat may let 13–17-year-olds watch without chatting or donating). Everything in these guidelines applies live — no nudity or sexual content, no hate or harassment, nothing dangerous or illegal, no streaming other people without their OK, and no gambling.
• Streamers can remove messages and ban viewers from their streams; anyone can report a stream or a message, and HardHat can end a stream, remove donations and suspend accounts.
• Donations are coins sent to the streamer as a tip: they're final, they go to the streamer as coins to spend in HardHat, and they follow the gifts & tips rules above.

The casino (18+)

• The HardHat casino is for players 18 and older, by the birthday on their account. It may not be available in every version of the app.
• It runs on chips. Chips are free (a daily top-up), have no value, and can’t be bought, sold, gifted, traded, or exchanged for money or anything else of value. Nothing you win in the casino is real money. Where HardHat turns on daily coin prizes, those coins are spend-only and follow the coin rules above.
• Every result is provably fair: you can see how each one was made and check it yourself. Take a break whenever you want — it can’t be undone early.
• We may change the games, odds, limits or the daily top-up, reset chip balances, or close the casino at any time.

Invite rewards

• When 3 new players sign up with your invite link (or name you as the friend who invited them, within their first 2 days) and each plays a match, you get 1,000 coins — once per account. Each of them gets 150 bonus coins.
• Invites have to be real people. Rewards earned with fake or duplicate accounts are removed, and the accounts can be banned.
• Reward amounts can change, and invite rewards can be paused — the app always shows the current offer, and rewards you’ve already earned stay yours.

Your content

You own what you post. You give HardHat permission to store it and show it to the people you shared it with, for as long as it’s live (proofs and stories expire within 24 hours unless you pin them). You can unsend messages, take down stories, and delete your account at any time in Settings.

The service

HardHat is provided as-is and may change. We may remove content or accounts that put others at risk or break these rules.
