General Disclaimer
The information provided on Scrum Poker Game (“scrumpokergame.com”) is for general informational and collaborative estimation purposes only. While we strive to keep the service functional and reliable, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the service.
Any reliance you place on the service and its outputs is strictly at your own risk.
No Professional Advice
Scrum Poker Game is a collaboration tool, not a source of professional advice. Specifically:
- The service does not constitute project management advice, agile coaching, or methodology certification.
- Story point estimates produced during sessions are opinions of participants, not binding commitments or guaranteed timelines.
- Voting analytics (averages, consensus detection, suggested estimates) are algorithmic calculations and should not be the sole basis for project planning decisions.
- The service does not replace professional judgment, experience, or formal estimation methodologies.
"As-Is" Service
Scrum Poker Game is provided without warranty of any kind, express or implied. This includes, but is not limited to:
- No uptime guarantee — The service may experience downtime for maintenance, updates, or unforeseen technical issues.
- No data persistence guarantee — All poker rooms and associated data expire automatically after 24 hours.
- No error-free operation — Real-time features depend on network connectivity and browser compatibility, which may vary.
- No backward compatibility — The service may be updated or changed at any time without prior notice.
Infrastructure
Scrum Poker Game runs on infrastructure we operate directly, including self-hosted instances of open-source software (Supabase, Plausible). We do not rely on commercial cloud or SaaS providers to process your data.
Because we host the service ourselves, availability is best-effort. The service may be affected by power, network, or hardware events at our hosting location. We shall not be held liable for any resulting disruptions or data loss.

Under no circumstances shall the operators of Scrum Poker Game be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

Our service may contain links to third-party websites or resources, such as privacy policies of our service providers. These links are provided for your convenience and informational purposes only.

Accuracy of Information
The voting analytics provided by Scrum Poker Game — including averages, median values, consensus detection, vote distribution, and suggested estimates — are algorithmic approximations based on participant input.
These calculations:
- Are provided as decision-support aids, not definitive assessments
- Depend entirely on the accuracy and honesty of participant votes
- Should be interpreted in conjunction with team discussion and professional judgment
- May not account for complexity factors, dependencies, or risks not captured by simple numeric estimates
