Effective Date: September 16, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and Gameweave, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Gameweave,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), which owns and operates the Gameweave platform.
By accessing or using Gameweave, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.
Age. You must be at least 13 years old to use Gameweave. If you live in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you must be at least the minimum age for digital consent in your country, which may be 14, 15 or 16. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these terms with you.
Section 21 contains an arbitration agreement and a class-action waiver that affect how disputes between us are resolved, and how you can opt out of them.
2. What Gameweave Is
Gameweave is a platform for playing, designing and sharing board games. It includes:
•
Classic and custom board games, played solo, against AI opponents, locally, or online with other people
•
Persistent tables, direct messages, group conversations, and voice and video calls
•
An editor for designing games in the boardlang language, including collaborative editing
•
A public registry for publishing and installing games and reusable modules
•
AI features including opponents, a rules tutor and generation tools
•
Web, desktop and mobile clients for all of the above
3. Your Account
You can use parts of the platform as a guest with limited functionality, or register an account for full access. If you register after playing as a guest, we merge your guest activity into the new account.
You are responsible for the security of your account and for everything that happens under it. Provide accurate information, keep it current, and tell us promptly if you believe someone else has access.
•
Keep one account. Do not create multiple accounts to evade limits, bans or blocks.
•
Do not share your account, or sell or transfer it to anyone else.
•
Usernames are first-come, first-served. We may reclaim one that impersonates someone, infringes a trademark, or is left unused on a deleted account.
4. Acceptable Use
These rules apply everywhere on Gameweave — games, chat, direct messages, calls, profiles, reviews, the editor and anything you publish.
Prohibited Content
Do not post, send, upload or publish content that:
•
Sexually exploits or endangers a minor. This includes any sexualised depiction of a minor, real or generated. We report this to the authorities and there is no appeal.
•
Harasses or bullies another person, including targeted abuse, threats, stalking, or coordinated pile-ons
•
Attacks people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, disease, sex, gender identity or sexual orientation
•
Promotes violence or violent extremism, or glorifies a terrorist organisation or a violent attack
•
Encourages self-harm, suicide or disordered eating
•
Is sexual or pornographic, or is otherwise adult content that is not appropriate for a general-audience platform
•
Facilitates serious crime or is otherwise illegal
•
Contains malware, exploits, or code designed to damage or gain unauthorised access to any system
•
Is spam or a scam, including phishing, fraud, and unsolicited bulk messaging
•
Impersonates another person, or misrepresents your identity or affiliation
•
Infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights
Prohibited Conduct
You also agree not to:
•
Use the platform for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law
•
Interfere with or disrupt the platform, or another user's experience of it
•
Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the platform, any account, or any system connected to it, or probe or test its security without our written permission
•
Use automated tools to scrape, crawl or extract data from the platform, except as our robots.txt permits
•
Cheat, exploit bugs for advantage, manipulate rankings or reviews, or repeatedly abandon multiplayer games
•
Evade a ban, suspension or block — including by creating another account
•
Resell, sublicense or commercially exploit access to the platform without our permission
Gameweave has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Content or accounts that violate these rules will be removed or permanently ejected from the platform, and every report we receive is reviewed and acted on. Section 12 explains what we do and how to contest it.
5. Your Content
You keep ownership of what you create. Game definitions, artwork, rules text, messages, reviews and profile content remain yours. These terms do not transfer your copyright.
To run the platform we need permission to handle your content. You grant Gameweave, Inc. a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, publicly display, distribute and create derivative works of your content, and to sublicense those rights to our service providers and content delivery networks, solely in order to:
•
Deliver your content to the people you shared or published it to
•
Store, convert, compress, resize and generate previews and thumbnails of images and other media
•
Generate link previews for URLs you send, and render your content across our web, desktop and mobile clients
•
Check it against our rules, including by automated moderation
•
Analyse games for AI opponents, tutoring and difficulty tuning
•
Back it up, secure it, and diagnose problems with it
This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except that (a) we may retain backup copies for a reasonable period, (b) content you published publicly or shared with others remains licensed to the extent needed to serve the people who already have it, and (c) section 15 of the Privacy Policy describes the records that survive deletion.
Your promises. You confirm that you own or have the rights to the content you post, that it does not infringe anyone else's rights or break any law, and that it complies with section 4.
Feedback. If you send us suggestions or ideas about Gameweave, we may use them without restriction, compensation or obligation to you. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential.
Your name and profile. You permit us to display your username, display name and avatar alongside your content for attribution — on your public profile, on packages you publish, and in listings that reference them.
6. Our Intellectual Property
The Gameweave platform — its software, design, documentation, trademarks and the boardlang language specification — is owned by Gameweave, Inc. and protected by intellectual property laws. Except as these terms allow, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or lease any part of it, or reverse engineer it.
Games published in the registry, including those we publish ourselves, carry their own licence. That licence — not this section — governs what you may do with the package. Section 8 explains how this works.
The rules of traditional games are not owned by anyone, and nothing here claims otherwise. What is protected is the particular expression: our code, our artwork, our rules text and our boardlang definitions.
7. Publishing to the Registry
You can publish boardlang packages — games and reusable modules — to the Gameweave registry, where other people can find and install them. Publishing is optional, and these terms apply when you do it.
What You Promise
•
You own or have the rights to everything in the package — code, artwork, rules text and any third-party material you included
•
The licence you declare in the package manifest is accurate, and you have the authority to grant it
•
The package does not infringe anyone's rights, contain malicious code, or break section 4
•
Any trademark, brand or game title you use is one you are entitled to use
What Installing Users May Do
By publishing, you grant every Gameweave user a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to download, install, store and run your package on the platform, and to play the game it describes, for as long as it remains published to them. This is the minimum licence the platform needs in order to work at all.
Everything beyond playing it is governed by the licence you declared. An open-source licence grants whatever it grants. A package marked UNLICENSED grants nothing further: users may play it on Gameweave and nothing else — no copying, modifying, redistributing or selling — unless you give them separate written permission.
Review and Removal
Publications pass through automated and human review. We may hold, reject or remove a package, or stop distributing one we previously accepted, if it breaks these terms or the law, or on a valid copyright complaint. We will tell you why and, except where a safety or legal rule prevents it, you can respond through the publishing thread or appeal under section 12.
You can stop publishing a package at any time. Removing it stops new installations; it does not reach copies people have already installed.
8. Content From Other People
Most games in the registry are published by other users. We do not create, endorse, verify or vouch for them, and we are not responsible for them. We screen for the rules in section 4, which is not the same as checking that a package is accurate, good, or safe for you.
Your use of someone else's package is governed by the licence that package declares, which you can read before installing. If you have a dispute about a package, it is between you and its publisher.
9. Copyright Complaints
We respond to copyright notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe material on Gameweave infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at copyright@gameweave.com, including:
•
Your physical or electronic signature, as the owner or an authorised agent
•
Identification of the work you say is infringed, and of the material you want removed, with enough detail for us to find it
•
Your name, address, telephone number and email address
•
A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law
•
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act
Counter-notice. If we remove your material and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same address with your signature, the material and its former location, a statement under penalty of perjury to that effect, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, outside the United States, for our district). We may restore the material after 10 business days unless the complainant tells us they have filed suit.
Repeat infringers. We terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe, in appropriate circumstances. Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing — or that it was wrongly removed — can make you liable for damages.
10. AI Features
Gameweave offers AI opponents, a rules tutor, and tools that help generate rulebooks, game concepts and artwork. The Privacy Policy explains what happens to the data; this section covers your rights and ours.
•
Output is not guaranteed. AI output can be wrong, incomplete or misleading. The tutor is not an authoritative statement of a game's rules — the game's own rules text is. Check anything that matters before relying on it.
•
Your inputs, your output. As between you and us, you may use the output you generate, subject to these terms. We make no claim of ownership over it, and we cannot promise it is unique — similar prompts can produce similar results for other people.
•
Your responsibility. If you publish AI-assisted content, section 7 still applies in full: you are responsible for it, including for whether it infringes anyone's rights.
•
Limits. Do not use our AI features to develop or train a competing model, to generate content that breaks section 4, or to circumvent our moderation systems.
We do not use your content to train AI models, and our AI providers are contractually prohibited from doing so with content we send them.
11. Multiplayer, Messaging and Calls
When you play with other people, join a table, send a message or join a call, you are interacting with real users. Play fairly, respect the people you are playing with, and follow section 4 in chat and on calls just as you would anywhere else.
Messages are not end-to-end encrypted. We can access message content, and we do so when content is reported or flagged by automated moderation. Do not use Gameweave messaging for anything that needs stronger confidentiality than that.
Calls are not recorded by us, and you must not record a call without the consent of everyone on it — in some places recording without consent is a criminal offence. Other participants can see and hear whatever your camera and microphone capture, so check your surroundings before joining.
You control who can reach you. Blocking, privacy settings and reporting are available throughout the product, and we encourage you to use them before a problem escalates.
12. Moderation and Enforcement
When content or an account is reported, or is flagged by our automated systems, we review it and decide on one of the outcomes below. We weigh what happened, how serious it was, and whether there is a history of similar behaviour.
What We May Do
•
Dismiss — we find no violation and take no action
•
Warn — a recorded notice, with no loss of access
•
Remove content — the content comes down or stops being distributed
•
Mute — you keep playing but cannot send messages, for 24 hours or 7 days
•
Suspend — you lose access to play, for 7 or 30 days
•
Ban — permanent account termination, for the most serious violations or persistent ones
We may act immediately and without prior notice where there is a risk of serious harm, and we may preserve or disclose records where the law requires it. Suspension or termination does not entitle you to a refund of any amount paid.
Notice and Appeal
If we take action on your account or your content, we will tell you what we did and why, unless telling you is prohibited by law or would compromise an investigation — which is the case for child-safety matters, where there is no appeal.
You can contest a decision by writing to appeals@gameweave.com within 90 days. Tell us what was actioned and why you think it was wrong. We aim to respond within 14 days, and wherever we can the review is done by someone who was not involved in the original decision. If we got it wrong, we reverse it and remove the record.
If you reported something, we will tell you when we have finished reviewing it. We do not disclose what action we took on someone else's account.
13. Desktop and Mobile Apps
We publish Gameweave apps for desktop and mobile. Subject to these terms, Gameweave, Inc. grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use them on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use.
You may not:
•
Copy, redistribute, sell, rent or lease the apps
•
Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble them, except where that restriction is unenforceable under the law that applies to you
•
Remove or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice
The apps check for and install updates automatically so that security fixes reach you promptly; by installing them you consent to that. They include third-party open-source components, which are licensed to you under their own terms — those terms prevail over this section for those components, and the notices are available in the app.
14. Apps Obtained From a Store
If you download a Gameweave app from the Apple App Store, Google Play or another store, the following also applies.
•
These terms are between you and Gameweave, Inc. only. The store operator is not a party and is not responsible for the app or its content.
•
We, not the store operator, are solely responsible for the app, including support, maintenance, warranty claims, product liability claims, and any claim that the app infringes someone's intellectual property. For support, contact us at support@gameweave.com.
•
The store operator and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
•
You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as terrorist-supporting, and that you are not on any US Government prohibited-party list.
•
You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of the store and of your carrier.
15. Paid Features
Gameweave is free to use today. We may introduce paid features, subscriptions or a way for creators to earn from what they publish. If we do, we will publish the prices and any additional terms that apply, and ask you to agree to them before you are charged. Nothing in these terms obliges you to pay for anything you have not signed up for.
16. Availability and Changes to the Service
We work to keep Gameweave available but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the platform, and we may impose limits on storage, message volume or other resources. Where a change materially reduces functionality you rely on, we will give reasonable advance notice unless a security or legal issue requires us to act sooner.
If we discontinue the service entirely, we will give you a reasonable opportunity to export your data first.
17. Disclaimers
Gameweave is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied or statutory, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement and quiet enjoyment, and any warranty arising from a course of dealing or usage of trade.
We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, that content will be preserved without loss, or that games published by other users are accurate, lawful or fit for any purpose.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties. Where that is the case, the exclusions above do not apply to you, and you may have rights that these terms cannot limit.
18. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Gameweave, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, agents and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, or the cost of substitute services, arising out of or relating to your use of the platform — even if we have been advised that such damages are possible.
Our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the platform will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars (US$100).
These limits apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law — including, where applicable to you, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or under consumer protection law.
19. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Gameweave, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) brought by a third party and arising out of:
•
Content you post, upload, send or publish, including any claim that it infringes someone's rights
•
Your breach of these terms or of the law
•
Your misuse of the platform, or of another user's content
We will notify you of any such claim and may, at our option, assume its defence — in which case you agree to cooperate. You may not settle a claim in a way that imposes an obligation on us without our written consent. This section does not apply to the extent the claim arises from our own breach or negligence, and it does not apply where you are a consumer and the law that protects you does not permit it.
20. Termination
You may leave at any time. Delete your account from your account settings. Section 15 of the Privacy Policy explains what happens to your data, including the 30-day window in which you can change your mind. Export your data before you start if you want to keep it.
We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these terms, if we are required to by law, or to protect our users or the platform from harm. Section 12 sets out the outcomes and how to appeal. We may also discontinue the service generally, on reasonable notice.
On termination your right to use the platform ends and we may delete your content. The following survive:
•
Section 5, to the extent needed to serve content you published or shared before termination
•
Section 6 (our intellectual property)
•
Section 17 (disclaimers)
•
Section 18 (limitation of liability)
•
Section 19 (indemnification)
•
Sections 21 and 22 (dispute resolution and governing law)
•
Section 24 (general terms)
21. Resolving Disputes
Please read this section carefully. It affects how legal claims between you and us are resolved, and it limits your ability to bring a claim in court or as part of a class action.
Talk to us first
Most problems can be sorted out quickly. Before starting a formal proceeding, send a description of the dispute and the resolution you want to legal@gameweave.com. We will do the same before bringing a claim against you. If we cannot resolve it within 60 days, either of us may proceed.
Arbitration
If informal resolution fails, you and Gameweave agree to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the platform by binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration takes place where you live or by video or telephone, and the arbitrator can award the same relief a court could.
Exceptions. Either of us may instead bring a claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and either of us may ask a court for an injunction to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property. Nothing here prevents you from reporting a matter to a government agency.
No class actions
Claims must be brought individually. You and we each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class, collective or representative action. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim must proceed in court, and the rest of this section still applies to every other claim.
Your right to opt out
You can decline arbitration. Email legal@gameweave.com within 30 days of first accepting these terms, saying that you opt out of arbitration and giving the email address on your account. Opting out costs you nothing and changes nothing else about your account.
Where this does not apply
•
If you are a consumer resident in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, or anywhere else whose law does not permit a pre-dispute arbitration agreement or a class-action waiver against a consumer, this section does not apply to you. You keep the right to bring proceedings in your local courts, and to rely on the mandatory consumer protections of your country.
•
Any claim must be brought within one year of when it arose, except where a longer period is required by law that applies to you.
22. Governing Law and Venue
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and, where it applies, the Federal Arbitration Act — without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware.
If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, or of your right to bring proceedings in your local courts.
23. Export Control and Sanctions
Gameweave is operated from the United States and is subject to US export control and sanctions laws. You may not use the platform, or export anything from it, in violation of those laws. You confirm that you are not located in an embargoed country, and that you are not on any US Government restricted-party list.
24. General Terms
•
Entire agreement. These terms, the Privacy Policy, and any additional terms we present for a specific feature are the whole agreement between you and Gameweave, Inc. about the platform, and replace any earlier understanding.
•
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in force.
•
No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, that is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
•
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these terms without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
•
Notices. We may send you notices by email to the address on your account, or by posting in the product. Send us legal notices to the address in section 27.
•
Force majeure. Neither of us is liable for a failure to perform caused by events beyond reasonable control.
•
No third-party beneficiaries, except the app-store operators named in section 14.
•
Headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation.
•
US Government users. The software is a “commercial item” and is licensed with only the rights granted to all other users.
25. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms. Every version carries an effective date at the top of this page, and we keep earlier versions available so you can see what you previously agreed to.
When we make a material change we ask you to acknowledge the new version the next time you use Gameweave, and we give at least 14 days notice before it takes effect where we reasonably can. If you do not agree, stop using the platform and delete your account before the change applies. Changes never apply retroactively to a dispute that already exists.
26. Privacy
Your use of Gameweave is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes what we collect, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the choices you have.
