Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-10-25

1. Provider and scope

Hegemony (app, Telegram Mini App, Telegram bot) is provided by Dmitrii Kovalenko, Oppenhoffallee 83, 52066 Aachen, Germany (Impressum). These terms apply to any use. By signing in you accept them.

2. The service

Hegemony is free. We try to keep it running smoothly but do not owe any particular availability. We may develop the game, change or remove features; if the service is shut down, we will announce it in the app at least 30 days in advance.

3. Account

• You must be at least 16 years old.
• One account per person (the app and Telegram may be linked). You may not play several countries in one game or let others use your account.
• Keep your access secret. You can delete your account at any time (how).

4. Rules of conduct

Negotiating, bluffing and betrayal within a game are part of the game. Not allowed — in messages, nicknames, avatars, game names and house rules — are:

• insults, harassment, threats, stalking;
• hate speech and discrimination, glorifying violence, symbols of unconstitutional or terrorist organisations;
• sexual or pornographic content;
• publishing other people's personal data;
• spam, advertising, scams, links to malware;
• cheating: multiple accounts, exploiting bugs, collusion aimed at manipulating the rating;
• posing as the operator or a moderator;
• any other illegal content or content that infringes the rights of others.

5. Reports and moderation

• You can report players and messages with “Report” in the app or by email to [email protected]. Say what it is about and why it breaks these rules or the law.
• Every report is reviewed by a human, carefully and objectively. Only nicknames and game names are checked automatically: a word filter rejects forbidden words on entry.
• Possible measures: removing content, changing a nickname or avatar, removal from a game, a temporary or permanent ban. Anyone who repeatedly posts manifestly illegal content is banned.
• We inform the person affected by a measure and give reasons (Art. 17 DSA) where we can reach them; the person who reported learns the outcome too.
• You can appeal a decision by email within six months; we will review it again.

6. Your content

Your content (nickname, avatar, messages, house rules) remains yours. You grant us the non-exclusive, free right to store it in the game and show it to other players for as long as the service needs it. You confirm that you hold the rights to it.

7. Liability

As the game is free, we are liable only for intent and gross negligence. Liability for injury to life, body or health and under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

8. End of use

You can stop using the game at any time by deleting your account. We may suspend or delete an account for serious or repeated breaches of these terms.

9. Changes

If we change these terms, we will point it out in the app at least 30 days in advance. If you keep playing afterwards, the new terms apply; if you object, you can delete your account.

10. Point of contact

Single point of contact for users and authorities (Art. 11, 12 DSA): [email protected] — in German, English or Russian.

11. Law

German law applies. If you are a consumer, mandatory protective provisions of the country where you live remain unaffected. We do not take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
