Terms of Use — Lorebound

Last updated: July 8, 2026

⚠️ Template notice (delete before publishing): This is a tailored starting point, not legal advice. Have a qualified lawyer review it before you rely on it, and fill in every [BRACKETED] placeholder.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Crested Tamarin LLC, doing business as MadAboutSoftware ("we", "us", "our"), a Florida limited liability company, governing your use of the game Lorebound and the website lorebound.gg (together, the "Service").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

• You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service.
• If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your country, you may only use the Service with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.
• By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.

Some regions require a higher minimum age for data processing; see our Privacy Policy.

2. Your account

• You need an account to play. You can register with an email and password or sign in with Google.
• You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity that happens under your account.
• Notify us promptly at admin@lorebound.gg if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
• You must provide accurate account information and keep it up to date.
• One person may not maintain multiple accounts to gain an unfair advantage or evade restrictions, except as expressly permitted by us.

3. License to use the Service

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and play the Service for your own personal, non-commercial entertainment. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by us and our licensors.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Cheat, exploit bugs, or use unauthorized third-party software, bots, scripts, automation, or AI agents to play the game or interact with the Service;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or our systems, or probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service without our written permission;
• Interfere with, overload, or disrupt the Service, including through excessive requests, denial-of-service techniques, or circumventing rate limits;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code or server logic, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• Copy, scrape, resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or its content except as expressly allowed;
• Harass, threaten, impersonate, or harm other users or our staff;
• Choose a display name or submit any content that is unlawful, offensive, infringing, deceptive, or that impersonates another person;
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.

We may investigate and take action — including warning, suspending, or terminating accounts and removing content — for any violation. We may use automated verification challenges (such as Cloudflare Turnstile) to confirm you're not a bot before granting access, including for guest sign-in; see our Privacy Policy for what that processes.

5. Virtual items and in-game currency

• The Service includes virtual items and in-game currency (such as "coins"), which exist only within the game.
• Virtual items and currency have no monetary value, are not your property, cannot be redeemed for real money or anything of real-world value, and are not transferable outside the Service except as we may expressly permit.
• We grant you a limited, revocable license to use virtual items and currency within the Service. We may change, remove, or reset them, and we may modify the game's balance, economy, and content, as part of normal operation.
• The Service is currently free to play. We are not charging for features or selling purchasable items at this time. If we introduce paid features, subscriptions, or purchasable items in the future, we will publish additional purchase, billing, and refund terms, and those purchases will be governed by those terms together with these Terms.

6. Intellectual property

• The Service, including its game design, code, story, characters, artwork, audio, and other content, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.
• Some game assets are provided under third-party licenses (including public domain / CC0 assets). Those assets remain subject to their respective licenses; our own rights cover the Service as a whole and our original content.
• "Lorebound" and our logos are our marks. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

7. User content

• You may provide limited content, such as a display name. You retain any rights you have in it, and you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, and display that content solely to operate and provide the Service.
• You are responsible for the content you provide and represent that you have the right to provide it and that it does not violate these Terms or any law.
• We may remove or change any user content that violates these Terms or that we reasonably consider inappropriate.

8. Service availability and changes

• We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, including features, content, and the game economy, with or without notice.
• The Service may be unavailable at times due to maintenance, updates, or factors outside our control.
• We do not guarantee that your game progress will be preserved indefinitely, although we take reasonable measures to protect it (see our Privacy Policy).

9. Termination

• You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time.
• We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users.
• On termination, your license to use the Service ends and we may delete your account and associated data, subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
• Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, and 14) will survive.

10. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that game progress will never be lost.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, progress, virtual items, goodwill, or profits, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.
• Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim or USD 100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law (including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud).

12. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Service or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party rights. This does not apply where prohibited by applicable consumer law.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the Service or by email before they take effect where required. The "Last updated" date shows the latest revision. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida will have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any dispute, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there — except that if you are a consumer, you may also have the right to bring proceedings in, and benefit from the mandatory laws of, your country or state of residence.

15. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement: These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• Severability: If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
• No waiver: Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
