Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the websites, digital products, memberships, community features, content, and other services offered by Obsidian Capital Holdings LLC, doing business as Slime Obsidian ("Slime Obsidian," "we," "us," or "our"), including The Lab (together, the "Services"). By creating an account, buying a product or membership, accessing The Lab, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. ELIGIBILITY

You must be at least 18 to create an account, buy a membership, or otherwise enter into an agreement with Slime Obsidian, and by doing so you confirm that you are at least 18 and legally able to agree to these Terms. An adult account holder may use our content with a child under the adult's supervision, but no one under 18 may independently create or keep an account.

2. ACCOUNTS

Some Services require an account. Keep your account information accurate and reasonably current and your login secure; you are responsible for activity on your account. Your login is for your personal use and the people you personally use the Services with: you may not distribute, publish, sell, or otherwise provide it to give others unauthorized access to paid content. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been used without authorization.

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts we reasonably believe are shared, sold, misused, compromised, or used in violation of these Terms.

3. THE LAB MEMBERSHIP

The Lab is Slime Obsidian's subscription membership and may include:

• The Drop;
• The Collection;
• The School;
• Slime Sesh;
• The Lab Community;
• The Arcade and its challenges;
• Slime labels;
• Slime formulas and recipes;
• Videos, tutorials, stories, guides, and educational materials;
• Supply lists and product recommendations; and
• Other membership features introduced from time to time.

The Lab has three plans. Weekly includes The Drop and the Drops you collect, The School, The Lab Community, slime labels, and supply lists. Monthly adds a set of legacy formulas, The Arcade and its challenges, and Slime Sesh, live and in replay. Annual adds more legacy formulas than Monthly. Legacy formulas, The Arcade, and Slime Sesh that are not part of your plan may appear locked. Recipes you bought from Slime Obsidian before joining open on any plan while your membership is active, once their formula is in The Lab.

The Lab's prize promotions — the Golden Ticket, SMOOSH Monthly High Score and The Challenge — are governed by their Official Rules at /rules, which form part of these Terms for anyone who takes part.

A new Drop is released each week. You collect every Drop that is current during a billing period you have paid for, a free trial that continues into a paid membership, or a complimentary membership, and keep them while your membership continues. Drops released before you joined are not included, and no membership includes every Drop ever released.

The Lab's content, features, formats, release schedules, and availability may change. We do not guarantee that any particular feature, formula, video, event, content category, release schedule, or amount of content will remain available, and we may add, modify, replace, suspend, or discontinue features or content as The Lab evolves.

4. SUBSCRIPTIONS, BILLING, AND AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

The Lab is offered through weekly, monthly, and annual subscription plans, and may be offered through other plans in the future.

The price and billing frequency of your membership are shown when you subscribe.

YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE END OF EACH APPLICABLE BILLING PERIOD UNLESS YOU CANCEL IT BEFORE YOUR NEXT RENEWAL, SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW.

By subscribing, you authorize Slime Obsidian and its payment processor to charge your selected payment method at each renewal for the subscription price, taxes, and any other charges disclosed at purchase. Payments are processed by third parties such as Stripe, whose own terms and policies may also apply. If a payment fails, we may retry it, ask for updated payment information, restrict access to the Services, or suspend or end the subscription.

You may upgrade at any time from your account: Weekly to Monthly or Annual, or Monthly to Annual. The new plan's price and any applicable tax are charged immediately, less a credit for the unused part of your current billing period, and a new billing period begins that day. You cannot move to a lower-priced plan from your account; contact us at hello@slimeobsidian.com for help with your plan.

5. PRICE CHANGES

We may change our prices from time to time. A price change never applies to a billing period you have already paid for; for an existing subscription, it takes effect at a future renewal, after any notice required by law. If you do not wish to continue at the new price, you may cancel before it takes effect.

6. CANCELLATION

You may cancel at any time from your account or by another method we provide. Unless we say otherwise when you cancel, cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid billing period, and you generally keep access to The Lab until then. Cancelling stops future renewals; it does not ordinarily refund amounts already charged. We will provide cancellation methods and renewal notices as required by law.

Annual memberships renew automatically each year at the then-current annual price unless cancelled before the renewal date. If you cancel, your membership will not renew and you keep access until your paid year ends; no part of the annual fee is refunded, including for months remaining in the year, except where required by law.

If your membership ends and you later rejoin, your new membership starts fresh: Drops collected, formulas marked as made, and private notes kept during an earlier membership are not restored.

Weekly and Monthly members may pause for up to two months instead of cancelling. A pause starts when your current paid billing period ends and lasts one or two months, as you choose (four or eight weekly, or one or two monthly billing periods); your membership then resumes automatically on the date shown when you paused, and your plan's price plus applicable tax is charged that day.

While paused, you have no access to The Lab and collect no Drops, but you keep the Drops you already collected. You may end a pause early from your account at any time; you are charged your plan's price plus applicable tax that day, your access returns at once, and your renewal date moves to that day.

You may have one pause at a time. You may pause again once a paid billing period has followed your last pause. Annual and complimentary memberships and free trials cannot be paused. If you cancel while paused, your membership ends without resuming and nothing further is charged.

7. REFUNDS

Except where required by law, payments for subscriptions, digital products, and other Services are generally non-refundable once charged, including renewal charges and billing periods you used only in part. Because The Lab gives immediate access to proprietary recipes, formulas, videos, and other digital content, buying and accessing it does not create a general right to a refund.

We may, at our sole discretion, give a refund, credit, or other accommodation, for example for duplicate charges, billing errors, significant technical problems, or other exceptional situations. Doing so once does not oblige us to do so again.

If your account is suspended or terminated because you violated these Terms, the Community Rules, or our other policies, you are not entitled to a refund for any unused part of your membership, except where required by law.

8. FREE TRIALS AND PROMOTIONS

We may offer free trials, promotional pricing, discounts, or other special offers. Each is subject to the terms presented with it, and may be limited by eligibility, duration, location, account, or other conditions disclosed with the offer.

If you start a free trial, we collect your payment method at the start and charge it when the trial ends, unless you cancel first. If you cancel during the trial, you keep access until it ends and are not charged.

9. OWNERSHIP OF SLIME OBSIDIAN CONTENT

The Services and their content are owned by or licensed to Slime Obsidian and protected by intellectual property and other laws. This includes, without limitation, our slime formulas and recipes; ingredient combinations, instructions, presentations, and written materials; videos and tutorials; photographs, artwork, graphics, and designs; PDFs and downloads; stories and editorial content; website, membership, and Lab content; our names, product names, logos, trademarks, and branding; and other original content we make available.

Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, no rights in our intellectual property are transferred to you.

10. LIMITED PERSONAL LICENSE

While you have an active Lab membership, or for a digital product you have bought, Slime Obsidian grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the applicable content for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.

The license does not apply while your membership is paused.

You may use our recipes and formulas to make slime for yourself or for personal use with friends or family, and you may share photos or videos of slime you make, as long as you do not disclose, reproduce, teach, or distribute our formulas, recipes, quantities, instructions, or other protected content. Buying a membership or digital product does not transfer ownership of the content or the intellectual property in it.

You may print a recipe from The Lab for your own personal use. Each printed copy is marked to identify the account it was printed from. A printed recipe is covered by these Terms like any other content: you may not share, copy, sell, or distribute it, or a scan, photo, or saved copy of it.

11. FORMULAS, RECIPES, AND COMMERCIAL USE

Our formulas, recipes, instructions, product concepts, names, and related materials are for personal, non-commercial use unless we expressly authorize otherwise in writing. Without our prior written permission, you may not:

• Sell slime made with a Slime Obsidian formula or recipe, or manufacture Slime Obsidian slime products for sale;
• Sell, license, publish, distribute, or otherwise provide a Slime Obsidian formula or recipe to anyone;
• Share or reproduce recipe quantities, ingredient proportions, instructions, screenshots, PDFs, videos, or other instructional material on any website, social platform, forum, marketplace, course, video, or other medium;
• Create or sell tutorials, courses, PDFs, guides, or other materials that reproduce or teach Slime Obsidian formulas;
• Claim a Slime Obsidian formula or recipe as your own;
• Use Slime Obsidian product or formula names, trademarks, branding, logos, photographs, or other brand assets to identify, market, or sell products; or
• Use your access to The Lab or our materials to operate a competing formula, recipe, or instructional service.

Nothing in these Terms prevents you from independently creating your own original slime products, formulas, content, or business, as long as you do not copy, distribute, commercially exploit, or misrepresent our protected content, names, branding, or intellectual property.

12. THE LAB COMMUNITY

The Lab may include a members-only Community for posting, commenting, and sharing, subject to these Terms and any Community Rules in The Lab. Treat other members respectfully: do not use the Community for harassment, threats, discrimination, unlawful conduct, spam, impersonation, infringement, disclosing another person's private information, or other conduct the Community Rules or these Terms prohibit.

We may moderate the Community but are not obliged to review every submission. We may remove or restrict any post, comment, image, account, or other content we reasonably believe violates these Terms, the Community Rules, the law, another person's rights or safety, or the intended operation of the Community, and we may warn, restrict, suspend, or permanently remove a member from the Community or The Lab. Removal for a violation does not entitle you to a refund, except where required by law.

13. USER-GENERATED CONTENT

You keep ownership of the original photos, posts, comments, and other content you submit to the Services ("User Content"). By submitting it, you grant Slime Obsidian a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, display, distribute, and otherwise use it in connection with Slime Obsidian and its business, including operating and promoting The Lab, on our websites and social media, in emails, newsletters, and advertising, and in other marketing and communications. We may resize, crop, format, or edit it as the medium reasonably requires, but will not intentionally misrepresent what you submitted.

You confirm that you own your User Content or have every right and permission needed to submit it and grant this license, including from any identifiable person in it, such as a child.

Private notes you keep on a formula are visible only to you and are not User Content.

This license may survive cancellation, account deletion, or the end of your membership for User Content we have already used, published, distributed, or incorporated into promotional materials. We may consider reasonable requests about future use, but are not obliged to remove content already used under this license, except where required by law.

14. PROHIBITED CONDUCT

You may not use the Services to:

• Violate any law, or infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
• Copy, distribute, sell, or commercially exploit Slime Obsidian content except as expressly permitted, or share or sell access to paid content;
• Circumvent membership, payment, authentication, or access controls, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, servers, databases, or systems;
• Scrape, crawl, systematically download, or extract substantial portions of the Services;
• Introduce malicious code or interfere with the operation or security of the Services;
• Impersonate anyone or misrepresent your affiliation with Slime Obsidian;
• Harass, threaten, abuse, or harm another user, or post unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or prohibited content; or
• Materially interfere with anyone else's use of the Services.

15. SLIME-MAKING SAFETY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Slime-making is a hands-on activity with inherent risks. Recipes may use glue, activators, borax or borate products, fragrances, pigments, dyes, clay, foam beads, charms, powders, artificial snow, containers, and other ingredients and add-ins, which can cause skin or eye irritation, allergic reactions, sensitivity, staining, property damage, choking hazards, accidental ingestion, or other adverse reactions if handled improperly or used by someone they are unsuitable for. By using our recipes or making slime, you accept the ordinary risks of the activity and its materials.

You are responsible for:

• Following manufacturers' labels, warnings, and instructions;
• Deciding whether ingredients suit you and anyone making slime with you, including checking for allergies and sensitivities;
• Using ventilation where needed, and avoiding ingestion and inappropriate contact with eyes, skin, or mouth;
• Providing adult supervision, and keeping ingredients and small objects away from children and pets where appropriate; and
• Storing and handling ingredients and finished slime safely, with reasonable judgment and care.

We provide recipes and educational content; unless we expressly say otherwise, we do not make or control the third-party ingredients, materials, tools, or products you buy and use. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you assume responsibility for how you select, handle, combine, use, and store them.

16. RESULTS MAY VARY

Results depend on many factors outside our control, including ingredient brands and formulations, measurements, activator strength, temperature, humidity, technique, substitutions, storage, and handling. We do not guarantee that your slime will match the appearance, texture, consistency, scent, color, volume, stretch, inflation, longevity, or other qualities shown or described. Recipes and instructions are provided as guidance and educational material.

17. THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS, LINKS, AND AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIPS

We may recommend or link to third-party ingredients, tools, products, websites, or services. We do not make or control them and do not guarantee their availability, formulation, quality, safety, performance, or suitability. Formulations and availability can change without notice, so review the manufacturer's or seller's current instructions, warnings, and ingredients.

Some of our links are affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Where appropriate, we also disclose this alongside the recommendation.

18. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The Services use or include third-party services, such as payment processors, video platforms, sign-in services, commerce platforms, and other technology providers. We do not control them, and they may have their own terms and privacy policies. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for their availability, security, content, products, conduct, or practices.

19. SERVICE AVAILABILITY AND CHANGES

We work to keep the Services reliable, but we do not guarantee they will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or available; access may be interrupted by maintenance, updates, technical problems, third-party outages, security events, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. We may change, reorganize, replace, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Services at any time.

If we permanently discontinue The Lab as a whole, we may provide affected prepaid members with an appropriate prorated refund, credit, continued access, or other remedy for the unused part of a prepaid membership, where appropriate or required by law.

20. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to some or all of the Services if we reasonably believe you:

• Violated these Terms or the Community Rules, or failed to pay amounts due;
• Shared or distributed paid content or login credentials without authorization, or misused our intellectual property;
• Engaged in fraud, abuse, harassment, or unlawful conduct, or harmed or threatened other members or Slime Obsidian;
• Created security or technical risks; or
• Otherwise materially misused the Services.

We may, but are not required to, give a warning or a chance to correct a violation. Termination for a violation does not entitle you to a refund, except where required by law.

Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property rights, User Content licenses, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute provisions, will survive.

21. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES, CONTENT, RECIPES, FORMULAS, COMMUNITY, DIGITAL PRODUCTS, AND OTHER MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND SLIME OBSIDIAN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE; THAT ANY PARTICULAR CONTENT OR FEATURE WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE; THAT ERRORS OR DEFECTS WILL ALWAYS BE CORRECTED; THAT INFORMATION OR CONTENT WILL BE FREE FROM ALL INACCURACIES; OR THAT YOUR RESULTS FROM A RECIPE, FORMULA, PRODUCT, OR SERVICE WILL MATCH THOSE SHOWN OR DESCRIBED.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME OF THESE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

22. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SLIME OBSIDIAN, OBSIDIAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS LLC, AND THEIR OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF SLIME OBSIDIAN AND OBSIDIAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS LLC FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO SLIME OBSIDIAN FOR THE SERVICES DURING THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

23. INDEMNIFICATION

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Obsidian Capital Holdings LLC, Slime Obsidian, and their owners, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and affiliates from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms, your unlawful or improper use of the Services, your User Content, your infringement or violation of another person's rights, or your conduct in connection with the Services. We may assume control of the defense of any such matter, and you agree to cooperate reasonably with it.

24. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent federal law applies or applicable consumer law requires otherwise.

25. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE CERTAIN DISPUTES HEARD IN COURT OR DECIDED BY A JURY.

Informal Resolution

Before starting arbitration, either party must send the other written notice describing the dispute and the resolution sought, and allow at least 30 days to try in good faith to resolve it informally. Send notices to Slime Obsidian at hello@slimeobsidian.com with "Legal Dispute" in the subject line.

Individual Arbitration

Except for disputes eligible for small claims court and disputes concerning intellectual property or other claims for which injunctive relief may appropriately be sought in court, disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, to the extent permitted by law. Arbitration will be administered by a recognized arbitration provider under applicable consumer arbitration rules, unless the parties agree otherwise, and the arbitrator may award the same individual remedies available in court, subject to applicable law and these Terms.

Small Claims

Either party may bring an eligible individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration.

Class Action Waiver

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND SLIME OBSIDIAN AGREE THAT CLAIMS WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, OR REPRESENTATIVE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Jury Trial Waiver

To the extent a dispute is required to be arbitrated, you and Slime Obsidian waive the right to a trial by jury.

If any part of this section is found unenforceable, the rest remains effective to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless the unenforceable part materially defeats the purpose of the arbitration agreement.

26. INTERNATIONAL USERS

The Services are operated from the United States. If you use them from another country, you are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you. Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive mandatory consumer rights that cannot lawfully be waived under those laws.

27. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Services, our business practices, or the law. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date above, and for material changes we may also give notice through the Services, by email, or by another reasonable method. Continuing to use the Services after updated Terms take effect means you accept them, to the extent permitted by law; where the law requires your affirmative consent, we will ask for it.

28. MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms, with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms or policies expressly incorporated into them, are the whole agreement between you and Slime Obsidian about the Services. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our failure to enforce a provision does not waive our right to enforce it later. You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or other business transaction. Headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation.
