Terms of Service

Last updated: November 14, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Metis platform at metis.ltd, the games published on it, its websites, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). Metis is operated by Metis ("Metis", "we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Accounts

You need an account to play games and to create them. Player accounts are free. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You may sign in with an email address and password or with a supported provider (Google, Microsoft or Apple).

2. Purchases, Plans and Billing

Some games are paid, and creators publish games on a paid development plan. Purchases and plans are billed through our third-party payment processor, which may act as the merchant of record for orders placed via the Service. By purchasing you also agree to the applicable terms and privacy notice presented at checkout. Fees are quoted in the currency shown at checkout and are non-refundable except where stated at checkout or required by law.

3. Creators and Royalties

Creators build games as definitions (rules, content and settings) on the Service. Creators earn royalties on sales of their paid games on the terms shown in their development plan at the time of sale. We may withhold or reverse royalties for refunded, fraudulent or charged-back purchases, or for games removed for breach of these Terms.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to (a) publish content you do not have the right to use or share; (b) upload malware or attempt to compromise the Service or other players' accounts; (c) cheat, exploit bugs or automate play in ways that harm other players; (d) use the Service to harass others or to violate applicable law, including data protection and export laws; (e) resell or sublicense the Service without our written consent; or (f) attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, or overload the Service.

5. Your Content

You retain all rights to the game definitions, text, images and other content you create or upload ("Your Content"). You grant Metis a limited, worldwide license to host, process, transmit, and display Your Content to provide the Service, including making published games available to players. We do not use Your Content to train foundation models.

6. AI Features

The Service includes AI-generated output (for example game text, suggestions and release notes). AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete or inappropriate, and creators are responsible for reviewing it before publishing it in a game.

7. Availability and Support

We use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Service available. The Service may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance, updates, or reasons outside our control. Support is provided through the Feedback option in the Service.

8. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Service, or remove a game, if you materially breach these Terms, if payment fails, or if we are required to do so by law. You may close your account or cancel a development plan at any time; cancellation of a plan takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Metis will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or use. Our aggregate liability will not exceed the fees you paid to us for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles, and the courts located in Virginia will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by email. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
