The Flappening is a digital split-flap display platform that allows users to display customized content on screens (including Apple TV, Fire TV, and web browsers) through configurable widgets, playlists, and manual messages. The Service includes a display application, companion mobile app, web dashboard, and cloud backend.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are between 13 and 18, you must have parental or guardian consent to use the Service.
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
The Service offers a free tier with limited features and paid subscription tiers (Pro, Venue) with additional capabilities. Feature availability for each tier is described on our website and within the app.
Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store are billed according to the respective platform's terms. Web subscriptions are processed by Stripe. All fees are stated at the time of purchase.
Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple ID settings, Google Play settings, or web account dashboard.
Refunds for App Store and Google Play purchases are subject to the respective platform's refund policies. For web subscriptions, contact [email protected] within 14 days of purchase for a refund.
We may change subscription pricing with at least 30 days' notice. Continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing. Existing subscribers will be notified before their next renewal at the new price.
One-time widget pack purchases are non-refundable once downloaded and activated, except as required by applicable law.
You agree not to:
You retain ownership of content you create or submit through the Service, including manual messages, custom widget configurations, and profile information ("User Content").
By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, and transmit your User Content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Service. This license terminates when you delete your User Content or account.
Messages sent by guests via Party/QR links are submitted at the guest's own risk. You, as the board owner, are responsible for enabling or disabling guest messaging and for moderating content displayed on your board.
We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to review, filter, or remove User Content that violates these Terms. AI-based content filtering is available for guest messages and can be enabled in settings.
You agree not to submit content that:
The Service, including its design, code, graphics, interfaces, the split-flap display engine, widget system, and "The Flappening" name and logo, are owned by Fort Awesome LLC and protected by intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us the right to use them without restriction or compensation.
The Service displays content from third-party APIs (weather, sports, aviation, entertainment, etc.). We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of third-party data. This data is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only.
Connecting third-party services (Google Calendar, Spotify, etc.) is governed by those services' own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.
If you access the Service through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you also agree to their respective terms of service.
The Service uses AI (Anthropic Claude) to format and phrase display messages. AI-generated content is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. We do not guarantee the accuracy, appropriateness, or completeness of AI-generated content. You acknowledge that AI-generated messages may occasionally contain errors or unexpected phrasing.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not guarantee that:
Content displayed on The Flappening (weather, sports scores, flight data, stock prices, etc.) is for informational and entertainment purposes only and should not be relied upon for making decisions. Always verify critical information from authoritative sources.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FORT AWESOME LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM:

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We may delete your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, indemnification, and limitations of liability) will survive.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.
YOU AND FORT AWESOME LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in court for matters related to intellectual property or unauthorized access.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and EULA, constitute the entire agreement between you and Fort Awesome LLC regarding the Service.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
