RPG Sage Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 15, 2022
Last Updated: April 26, 2024

Introduction

Thank you for using RPG Sage for your play-by-post needs!

These terms set forth our legal obligations to each other. They apply to your use of our services.

When we say “RPG Sage,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in these terms, we mean RPG Sage.

When we say “services” in these terms, we mean RPG Sage’s services.

When we say “you” or “your,” we mean you.

We also have a Privacy Policy that applies to your use of our services and are incorporated into these terms.

Who We Are

We are gamers and coders with a love of TTRPGs and Software Development. We provide additional features through Discord via bot and application commands for the intended purpose of enhancing your tabletop roleplaying game experience. These features include character dialog, dice rolling, and other content manipulation and management.

What you can expect from us

We’re actively developing new features to improve RPG Sage. As part of these efforts, we may add or remove features. While we try to avoid disruptions, we cannot guarantee that there will not be an outage or change to the services, and your content may not be retrievable due to such outages or changes. We are not liable for any such outages or service changes.

Content in RPG Sage's services

Your Content

When we say “your content” in these terms, we mean all the things you add (upload, post, share, or stream) to our services. This may include text, links, GIFs, emoji, photos, documents, or other media. If we come up with another way for you to add content to the services, it includes that too.

You don’t have any obligation to add content to the services. If you choose to add content to the services, you are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to do so, that you have the right to grant the licenses in the terms, and that your content is lawful. We take no responsibility for any of your content, and we are not responsible for others’ use of your content.

Your content is yours, but you give us a license to it when you use RPG Sage. Your content may be protected by certain intellectual property rights. We don’t own those. But by using our services, you grant us a license (which is a form of permission) to do the following with your content, in accordance with applicable legal requirements, in connection with operating, developing, and improving our services:

  • Use, copy, store, distribute, and communicate your content in manners consistent with your use of the services.
    (For example, so we can store and display your characters.)

  • Publish, publicly perform, or publicly display your content if you’ve chosen to make it visible to others.


*(For example, so we can display your messages if you post them in public servers.)*
  • Monitor, modify, translate, and reformat your content.

*(For example, so we can repost your message as dialog from your character.)*
  • Sublicense your content, to allow our services to work as intended.

*(For example, so we can store your content with our cloud service providers.)*

This license is worldwide, non-exclusive (which means you can still license your content to others), royalty-free (which means there are no fees for this license), transferable, and perpetual.

We reserve the right to block, remove, and/or permanently delete your content for any reason, including breach of these terms, Discord's Community Guidelines, or any applicable law or regulation. And Fascism. And being a TERF.

RPG Sage’s Content

Our services include some content that belongs to us. You may use this content as permitted by these terms, but we retain all intellectual property rights in our content.

Other Content

Other people’s content.

Our services might also provide you with access to other people’s content. You may not use this content without that person’s consent, or as allowed by law. Other people’s content is theirs and doesn’t necessarily reflect RPG Sage’s own views. RPG Sage doesn’t endorse or verify the accuracy or reliability of content shared by RPG Sage users. We work hard to try to make RPG Sage a safe, positive, and inclusive place, but cannot prevent you from encountering content that you may find objectionable or offensive. You agree we will not be liable for any harm caused by that content. You may report content that you think violates any of our policies. We have the right, but not the obligation, to review such reports and block or remove content at our discretion. We support Antifa, BLM, believe Trans Rights are Human Rights, and know that everybody deserves bodily autonomy; so keep that in my when you are considering reporting content that violates our policies.

Third party features and content.

Our services may also allow you to access third-party websites, features, apps, or other content. We provide you access only as a convenience to you, and are not responsible for the content or services available from these websites or resources.

Copyright

We respect the intellectual property of others and expect our users to do the same.

Restrictions on your use of RPG Sage’s services

When using our services, you must comply with these terms and all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and you must only use the services for authorized and acceptable purposes. You must also adhere to Discord’s Community Guidelines when using RPG Sage. Fundamentally, do not do, try to do, or encourage or help others to do any of the following:

  • Don’t use the services to do harm to yourself or others. Among other things, this includes trying to gain access to another user’s account or any non-public portions of the services, infringing anyone else’s intellectual property rights or any other proprietary rights, harassing, bullying, spamming, auto-messaging, or auto-dialing people through our services.

  • Don’t use the services to do harm to RPG Sage. Among other things, this includes trying to gain access to or attacking our systems, scraping us, transmitting viruses or other malicious code to our services, abusing or defrauding us, copying our product or using our intellectual property without permission, and misusing our reporting or customer service mechanisms.

  • Don’t use the services to do anything else that’s illegal. This includes using the services to commit any crime or infringe anyone’s intellectual property rights.

We encourage you to report content or conduct that you believe violates these restrictions.

Termination

Your right to terminate.

You’re free to stop using RPG Sage’s services at any time and for any reason.

Our right to terminate.

Subject to applicable law, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to some or all of our services with or without notice, at our discretion, including if:

  • You breach these terms, our policies, or additional terms that apply to specific products.

  • We’re required to do so to comply with a legal requirement or court order.

  • We reasonably believe termination is necessary to prevent harm to you, us, other users, or third parties.

Indemnity

If you are using the services on behalf of a business or legal entity and not in an individual capacity, then you will indemnify and hold RPG Sage and its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal and accounting fees) related to (a) your access to or use of our services, (b) your content, or (c) your violation of these terms.

Service "As Is"

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RPG SAGE, ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUPPLIERS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ABOUT THE SERVICES. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” WE ALSO DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. THE LAWS OF CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS OR STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES. TO THE EXTENT SUCH WARRANTIES CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED UNDER THE LAWS OF YOUR JURISDICTION, WE LIMIT THE DURATION AND REMEDIES OF SUCH WARRANTIES TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER THOSE LAWS.
