Communities,
Accounts & Partners
To use Grampy’s Games, you need to be at least
one of two types of user – an administrator or a
community member. You are responsible for maintaining and securing your account
credentials and will be solely responsible for all activity that occurs under
your account unless such activity occurs due to unauthorized access. Do not
share your username and password with others.
Administrators
Administrators are the creators of one or more
communities, who can select the community name and
invite players to join by creating accounts for each player within the
community. Administrators are responsible for creating, maintaining, updating,
and sharing login credentials for the accounts associated with any community
the administrator makes. To remove a community member
you can do so from through the settings button after you have logged
in. To delete a community, or delete your
account, please email info@grmapysgames.com. If
an administrator is under 13 years old or intends to invite a community member
who is under 13 years old to join a community, the administrator must have
parental consent or provide a parent’s email address so we can obtain parental
consent for the user under 13 years old to join Grampy’s Games.
Community
Members
Community members can change their username,
nickname, and passwords within a community to play games with the administrator
and other community members within that specific community. If you have been
invited to join multiple communities or are an administrator and community
member for different communities, you may have separate accounts and login
information for each community. To delete your account or leave a community,
you can contact the administrator of the individual community.
Partners
In order to
play any of our two-player games, you will need to choose a partner out of a
list of online community members who are ready to play. If you do not recognize
an account in your community, we recommend you or your parent reach out to the
administrator to confirm that account’s identity before playing a game with
that account.
