Legal
Terms of Service
1. Agreement to These Terms
By accessing or using Reveal Party (the "Service") at reveal-party.com, operated by Mikasa Labs LLC ("we," "us," "our," or "Company"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
In these Terms, a "Host" is a person who creates, purchases, or administers an event page through the Service (an "Event"), and a "Guest" is a person who visits an Event page or submits a vote, guess, RSVP, or message to an Event. Guests do not create accounts. If you purchase an Event, you also accept these Terms at checkout by checking the box confirming your agreement before payment is enabled.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Mikasa Labs LLC. Your continued use of the Service signifies your acceptance of these Terms and any updates.
2. The Service
Reveal Party provides a web-based platform for creating events, collecting RSVPs, running gender-reveal guessing polls, and sharing reveal moments. Events may include gender-reveal features, RSVP-only functionality, or both. The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind.
Mikasa Labs LLC provides technology only. Events are created, configured, and administered by their Hosts. Mikasa Labs LLC is not the organizer, sponsor, or co-host of any Event, and it does not review, verify, or endorse any Event or any content submitted by Hosts or Guests.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time without notice or liability.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract under applicable law to create an account, purchase an Event, or act as a Host. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
The Service is not directed to children under 13. Hosts may not use the Service to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
4. Acceptable Use
4.1 Prohibited Conduct
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree NOT to:
- Violate any applicable laws or regulations
- Infringe upon the rights of others, including intellectual property, privacy, and publicity rights
- Submit or transmit content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, threatening, hateful, obscene, or otherwise harmful
- Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or organization

4.2 Reporting and Removal
If you believe content on an Event page is unlawful or violates these Terms, report it to us at the email address in Section 18 with a link to the Event and a description of the content. We do not review or monitor Event content proactively and have no obligation to do so. We may, in our sole discretion, review reported content and remove content, close an Event, or suspend or terminate access under Section 16.
4.3 Copyright Complaints
If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to the email address in Section 18 that includes: identification of the copyrighted work; the URL or location of the allegedly infringing material; your name and contact information; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf; and your physical or electronic signature. Copyright notices may also be sent to our designated agent registered with the U.S. Copyright Office (Registration No. DMCA-1075782): Copyright Agent, Mikasa Labs LLC, 37010 Dusterberry Way 546, Fremont, CA 94536, phone (510) 396-6352, email dmca [at] investordataroom.com .
We may remove or disable access to material claimed to be infringing, and we may terminate the accounts or Events of users who are repeat infringers.
5. Payments and Pricing
5.1 One-Time Purchases and Add-Ons
Reveal Party is offered as a one-time purchase per Event. Payment is required before an Event can be published and made accessible to Guests. All prices are displayed on the Service in U.S. Dollars (USD) and may change at any time without notice.
Optional add-ons may be purchased for an Event at initial checkout or at any time afterward: additional vote capacity in packs of 50 votes (not available for RSVP-only Events) and RSVP capacity in packs of 25 RSVPs. Each add-on is a separate one-time charge subject to these Terms, including Section 6 (Refund Policy). Add-ons increase capacity for the specific Event only and do not extend the license period described in Section 7. Votes and RSVPs an Event can receive are limited to the capacity included with or purchased for that Event.
5.2 Payment Processing
All payments are processed securely through Stripe, a third-party payment processor, on Stripe's hosted checkout pages. By making a purchase, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Your card details are provided directly to Stripe; we do not receive or store your card information.
5.3 Taxes
Prices do not include applicable taxes. You are responsible for all sales, use, and other taxes associated with your purchase.
5.4 Chargebacks
If you believe a charge was made in error, contact us at the email address in Section 18 before disputing the charge with your card issuer. If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute for a charge we reasonably believe was valid, we may suspend the associated Event while the dispute is pending, and you remain responsible for any amounts lawfully owed to us.
6. Refund Policy
NO REFUNDS: All sales are final. Due to the nature of the digital service and immediate activation upon payment, we do not offer refunds except where legally required or at the sole discretion of Mikasa Labs LLC.
If you believe you are entitled to a refund due to exceptional circumstances, you may contact us at the email address in Section 18. Any refund request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion. Approval of a refund request does not create any obligation to grant future refund requests.
This refund policy applies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, including consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction.
Statutory Rights: Performance of the Service begins immediately upon payment, and by purchasing you request that we begin providing the Service immediately. Some jurisdictions grant consumers cancellation or withdrawal rights for digital services that cannot be excluded by contract; nothing in these Terms limits any right you have under applicable law that cannot lawfully be waived.
7. Event License, Closing, and Expiration
Upon payment, you receive a time-limited license to use the Service for a single Event. This license is valid for 90 days from the payment date. Changing the Event date does not extend the license period, and add-on purchases under Section 5.1 do not extend it either.
An Event closes on the earlier of (a) the start of the day after the Event date you set (an Event remains available through the end of its scheduled Event date) or (b) the end of the 90-day license period. Voting closes when the Event closes and also, even if earlier, when you trigger the reveal; votes submitted after voting closes are rejected. Capacity limits under Section 5.1 also apply while an Event is open.
Once an Event closes, Guests who open the Event link are shown a notice that the Event has expired: they can no longer view the Event page or any Event content, and they can no longer submit votes or RSVPs through it. As the Host, you retain read-only access to your closed Event through your host account: you can view your Event dashboard, results, RSVPs, and settings, print the Event's QR card, copy Event links, and delete the Event. Your Event data, including votes and RSVPs already received, remains stored; you may request a copy or deletion of your Event data as described in our Privacy Policy. Stored Event data is retained, and read-only access is provided, only for as long as we continue to operate the Service, and we do not guarantee that any Event or its data will remain available for any period of time.
A closed Event is read-only for the Host: the Service does not offer changes to a closed Event (including changes to its title, date, theme, or settings), triggering of the reveal, or new purchases for it, and the Service does not provide a way to re-open a closed Event. An Event can no longer be modified after the license expires. While your Event is open, the Service permits changes to your Event, including changing the Event date to any date on or before your license expiration date; voting does not re-open after you have triggered the reveal. Changing the Event date does not extend the 90-day license period.
8. Intellectual Property and Content
8.1 Our Rights
The Service, including its design, code, branding, logos, and content, is owned by Mikasa Labs LLC and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
8.2 Limited License

8.4 Guest Content
Guests may submit names, guesses, votes, RSVP responses, party sizes, and messages to your Event without creating an account ("Guest Content"). Guest Content is subject to the same license described in Section 8.3. As between you and Mikasa Labs LLC, you are responsible for Guest Content submitted to your Event, for the settings that control whether Guest Content is displayed to other visitors of your Event link, and for ensuring that your Guests are authorized to submit it. You represent and warrant that you have, or your Guests have granted, all rights necessary for Guest Content to be stored, displayed, and transmitted through the Service, including in RSVP notification emails delivered to you.
8.5 No Endorsement; No Obligation to Monitor
Mikasa Labs LLC stores and transmits Host content and Guest Content at the direction of Hosts and Guests. We do not select, curate, edit, verify, or endorse it, and we have no obligation to monitor it. We may act on reports as described in Section 4.2.
9. Third-Party Services
The Service integrates with third-party services including Firebase (Google Cloud) for hosting, authentication, database storage, and serverless processing; Stripe for payment processing; Resend (Plus Five Five, Inc.) for transactional email delivery; Google reCAPTCHA for security and abuse prevention; and Google Analytics for usage analytics (only with your consent). Depending on the features a Host enables, Event pages may also load an embedded venue map from OpenStreetMap (OpenStreetMap Foundation), and the Host address search may use the Photon geocoding service (komoot GmbH). These providers have their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices or services.
Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience only. We do not endorse or assume responsibility for third-party content or services.
10. Privacy
Your use of the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how Host and Guest information is handled, including how Guest submissions may be displayed on Event pages and emailed to the Host. We only enable analytics after you provide explicit consent. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.

16. Termination
16.1 By You
You may stop using the Service at any time. Termination does not entitle you to a refund.
16.2 By Us
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice, including for violation of these Terms (including the Acceptable Use provisions in Section 4) or for payment disputes under Section 5.4.

We may also terminate inactive accounts.
16.3 Effect of Termination
Upon termination, your right to use the Service immediately ceases. You may request deletion of your account and Event data as described in our Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.
17. General Provisions
17.1 Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and ask signed-in Hosts, through a notice within the Service, to review and accept the updated Terms; when you agree, we record the version of the Terms you accepted and the time of your acceptance. The notice does not block your use of the Service, and you may dismiss it and review the updated Terms later. We may also use reasonable efforts to provide additional notice, such as email to Hosts with active Events. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We review these Terms periodically as laws and the Service change.
17.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or our right to enforce it in the future.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Mikasa Labs LLC regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings. If these Terms conflict with the Privacy Policy, the Privacy Policy governs how personal information is handled and these Terms govern all other matters.
