Effective: May 29, 2026
Operator: Marbula One LLC
Contact: legal@marbulaone.com
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Marbula One platform, website, and related services available at game.marbulaone.com and any associated pages (collectively, the “Platform”), operated by Marbula One LLC (“Marbula One,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) under license from Jellesmarbleruns B.V. (Jelle’s Marble Runs (“JMR”)).
The Platform is for users between the ages of 13 and 17. By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Platform.
If you are a parent or guardian of a user of the Platform, these Terms apply to your child’s use of the Platform. You may contact us at legal@marbulaone.com with any questions about your child’s account.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: THESE TERMS INCLUDE A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 16. PLEASE READ THAT SECTION CAREFULLY.
1. Eligibility
1.1 Age
The Platform is for users who are between the ages of 13 and 17. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 13 years old and not yet 18.
1.2 Age Verification
We rely on your self-certification of age at account opening. We reserve the right to require additional age verification at any time, and to suspend or terminate accounts where eligibility cannot be confirmed.
1.3 Under-13 Prohibition
The Platform is not directed to, and may not be used by, any person under the age of 13. If we learn that a user under 13 has registered, we will promptly delete their account and any personal information collected. To report a potential under-13 account, contact us at legal@marbulaone.com.
1.4 18+ Users
Users who are 18 or older may not use this Platform. A separate Marbula One service is available for users 18 and older at game.racino.io under separate terms and policies.
1.5 Parental Awareness
If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, your parent or guardian should review these Terms and our Privacy Policy with you. By using the Platform, you represent that your parent or guardian is aware of and consents to your use of the Platform in accordance with these Terms.
2. Account Registration and Security
2.1 Registration
To use the Platform, you must create an account by providing accurate, complete, and current information. You may not register more than one account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
2.2 Account Security
You agree to notify us immediately at legal@marbulaone.com if you suspect unauthorized access to or use of your account or credentials. We are not liable for losses resulting from your failure to maintain the security of your account.
2.3 Account Restrictions
Your account is personal to you. You may not transfer, share, sell, or allow any other person to access or use your account. Accounts found to be shared, transferred, or operated by someone other than the registered user may be immediately suspended or terminated.
3. Skill-Based Competitions
3.1 How Races Work
Marbula One hosts simulated marble racing competitions. Race outcomes are determined by the participant’s selection of a marble whose stats (such as Weight, Roll, Turns, and Slopes) best match the published track conditions and forecast for that race. Once a race begins, the outcome is fully determined by the pre-race configuration. The race simulation contains no runtime randomness that alters the result.
Randomness may apply to other Platform features (such as marble progression and item acquisition), which are separate from race competition and do not affect the outcome of a race once it begins.
3.2 Visual Simulation
The on-screen race animation is a cosmetic representation of pre-determined outcomes. The visual simulation is provided for entertainment purposes and does not independently determine or alter race results.
3.3 No Cash Mechanics
The Platform is for entertainment only. There are no entry fees, no cash prizes, and no fee-based tournaments on this Platform. You cannot earn or receive money, cryptocurrency, or anything of monetary value from your use of the Platform.
4. In-Platform Purchases
4.1 Available Items
Users may purchase non-transferable in-Platform items, including:
- Individual cosmetic items, such as marble skins and visual customizations; and
- Packs, which are bundles of in-Platform items that may include Marbles and Skins.
All items available for purchase have no real-world monetary value, are non-transferable, may not be resold, traded, or transferred for value, and confer no monetary or cash-equivalent benefit.
4.2 Payment Method
Cosmetic purchases may require use of a parent or guardian payment method. By submitting a payment, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided.
4.3 No Refunds
All purchases of in-Platform items (including individual cosmetic items and Packs) are final and non-refundable once delivered, except as required by applicable consumer protection law. You may not request a refund of any purchase for any reason, including change of mind, dissatisfaction with the item, or account closure.
4.4 No Cash Value
In-Platform items have no cash value. They cannot be exchanged for cash, cryptocurrency, or any item of monetary value. They are non-transferable, are not assets owned by you outside the Platform, and exist solely as part of your in-Platform experience.

16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. IT REQUIRES INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTION.
16.1 Binding Mutual Arbitration
Except as otherwise provided in this Section, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform — including any question of their formation, existence, validity, interpretation, breach, or termination — shall be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms. This obligation to arbitrate is mutual and applies equally to both you and Marbula One LLC.
16.2 Class Action Waiver
You and Marbula One LLC each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in any class action, collective proceeding, consolidated action, or representative proceeding. Claims may only be brought in an individual capacity. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.
16.3 Exceptions
Either party may bring qualifying claims in small claims court. Either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending the initiation or completion of arbitration.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Marbula One LLC regarding the Platform and supersede any prior agreements, representations, or understandings, whether written or oral.
17.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
