Terms of Service

Effective date: 29 May 2026 · Last updated: 29 May 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Chronicles of Terros, including the website, game application, and all related services (collectively, the “Service”), (“we”, “us”, “our”), based in England.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility & Age-Appropriate Content

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and 18, you must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements.

Tableguard Content Safeguards

Chronicles of Terros includes hardcoded content safeguards for players under 18. These safeguards are applied automatically based on the date of birth provided during account creation and cannot be bypassed. They include:

  • Graphic violence, gore, and torture descriptions are automatically filtered from AI-generated narrative
  • Sexual content and explicit romantic scenarios are fully removed
  • Substance abuse depictions are reduced to narrative references only
  • Self-harm and suicide themes are excluded from generated content
  • Darker companion storylines are adjusted to age-appropriate severity

Players aged 18 and over receive the full, unfiltered narrative experience. All players, regardless of age, are protected by baseline content filters that prevent the AI from generating illegal content, hate speech, or real-world extremism.

Note for parents and guardians: These safeguards are enforced at the code level, not by AI moderation alone. The AI cannot override them. However, Chronicles of Terros is a fantasy role-playing game that includes themes of combat, moral dilemma, and consequence even with safeguards active. We recommend parental awareness for players under 16.

2. Account Registration

To access the game, you must create an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete registration information
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorised access to your account
  • Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe have been compromised.

3. Description of Service

Chronicles of Terros is a single-player, AI-driven role-playing game based on the D&D 5e System Reference Document. The Service includes:

  • A browser-based game application with AI-generated narrative content
  • Deterministic game mechanics (combat, character progression, spell systems) calculated by code
  • Companion characters with persistent memory and relationship systems
  • A Chronicle Book compilation system that converts your gameplay into a formatted document
  • Optional subscription features (Wanderer’s Pass)

4. Free Trial & Purchases

Free Episodes

New accounts receive five free episodes with no credit card required. Free episodes provide access to the full game experience with no feature restrictions.

Base Game Purchase

The base game is a one-time purchase of £29, granting access to seventy-two episodes across twelve story arcs. This is not a subscription — no recurring charges apply to the base game.

Wanderer’s Pass (Subscription)

The Wanderer’s Pass is an optional monthly subscription at £6/month, providing enhanced features including longer episodes, voice narration, Ironsworn difficulty mode, and additional campaign slots. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Chronicle Book

Chronicle Books are optional printed or digital compilations of your completed campaign, available for purchase after your campaign ends. Prices vary by format.

5. Payment Terms

All payments are processed by Stripe. By making a purchase, you agree to Stripe’s terms of service. All prices are displayed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT.

You are responsible for any taxes or charges imposed by your jurisdiction beyond those collected by us.

6. Refund Policy

  • Base game: Full refund available within 14 days of purchase if you have not progressed beyond episode 10. Contact support to request a refund.
  • Wanderer’s Pass: No partial-month refunds. You retain access until the end of your paid billing period after cancellation.
  • Chronicle Books (digital): Refundable within 14 days if the download has not been accessed.
  • Chronicle Books (printed): Non-refundable once sent to print, unless the product arrives damaged or materially defective.

These refund terms do not affect your statutory rights under UK consumer law, including your right to a 14-day cooling-off period for digital content where applicable.

7. AI-Generated Content

The narrative content in Chronicles of Terros is generated by artificial intelligence (Google Gemini) in response to your gameplay actions. You acknowledge that:

  • AI-generated content is procedural and may occasionally produce unexpected, inconsistent, or unusual results
  • We employ content filters and quality controls, but cannot guarantee that all AI output will meet every individual’s expectations
  • AI-generated narrative does not represent the views or opinions of the developer
  • Game mechanics (HP, damage, dice rolls, spell effects) are calculated by deterministic code, not AI — AI only generates the narrative text describing those results
  • Content safeguards for players under 18 are enforced at the code level before AI output reaches the player (see Section 1)

8. Intellectual Property

Our Content

The Service, including its code, game design, companion characters, world lore, artwork, and original written content, is the intellectual property of James Swift and is protected by copyright law. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our content without written permission.

Your Content

Your gameplay data (character choices, narrative paths, game state) belongs to you. You grant us a limited licence to store, process, and display this data as necessary to provide the Service, including generating your Chronicle Book. We will not sell, publish, or share your gameplay data with third parties beyond what is described in our Privacy Policy.

Chronicle Books

Chronicle Books compiled from your gameplay are for your personal use. The underlying game systems, companion characters, and world lore remain our intellectual property. You may share your Chronicle Book privately but may not commercially distribute or publish it without written permission.

10. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the source code of the Service
  • Exploit bugs, glitches, or unintended mechanics for unfair advantage (this is a single-player game, but integrity of the experience matters to us)
  • Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to interact with the Service
  • Attempt to access other users’ accounts or data
  • Deliberately attempt to generate harmful, illegal, or abusive content through AI prompt manipulation
  • Resell, sublicence, or commercially exploit access to the Service

11. Service Availability

We aim to keep the Service available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to:

  • Scheduled maintenance (we will provide reasonable notice where possible)
  • Unplanned outages or technical issues
  • Third-party service disruptions (Firebase, Stripe, Google AI)
  • Force majeure events

We are not liable for any loss or inconvenience caused by service unavailability.

12. Game Saves & Data Loss

We take reasonable measures to protect your game data, including regular database backups. However, we cannot guarantee against data loss. We strongly recommend noting your campaign progress externally. We are not liable for lost game data beyond making commercially reasonable efforts to recover it.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied
  • We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components
  • Our total liability to you for any claims arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim
  • We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.

14. Termination

By You

You may stop using the Service and request account deletion at any time by contacting support@chroniclesofterros.com. Account deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed. Active subscriptions should be cancelled before requesting deletion.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you:

  • Violate these Terms
  • Engage in behaviour that is harmful to other users or the Service
  • Fail to pay for purchased services

Where possible, we will provide notice before termination and an opportunity to remedy the violation. Termination for fraud or abuse may be immediate.

15. Dispute Resolution

We encourage you to contact us directly to resolve any disputes. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, it shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer, you may also be entitled to use the UK’s online dispute resolution platform or alternative dispute resolution services.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. This does not affect any mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence that may apply.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting updated Terms on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. For significant changes, we will notify registered users by email at least 14 days before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree with updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

19. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service, superseding any prior agreements.
