DungeonFlux

Terms of service

A plain-language draft of the terms we plan to publish. It will be replaced by the final text after counsel reviews it.

In short

  • DungeonFlux is an adults-only pilot service.
  • Hosts, players and payers are separate roles. A host never receives or controls anyone else’s money.
  • Prices come from a published schedule and are fixed for a session.
  • The story is generated by AI and can surprise you. The dice are rolled by a rules engine.
  • Several parts of these terms are still to be written with counsel. They are listed at the end.

Who can use DungeonFlux

These terms are an agreement between you and Ember Table Studios LLC, a Florida limited liability company. The pilot is for adults. New users confirm their age and accept the terms and privacy policy when they create an account, and separately choose whether to receive marketing. Sign-in goes through a hosted identity provider, and a confirmed email is needed before you can fund or host a paid session. You are responsible for keeping your account secure.

Hosts, players and payers

Running a table and paying for it are separate. Someone can sponsor a session without hosting it, and a player can join a sponsored seat without paying. A host can invite and remove players and start or pause a session. A host cannot see another person’s total balance or billing address, and cannot withdraw another person’s contribution.

Credit and prices

Play is paid for with DungeonFlux service credit. How credit works is in the credit terms draft, and the proposed prices are on the pricing page. Each session is tied to one version of the price schedule, and a price change does not reprice a session that has already started. Refunds are covered in the refund policy draft.

How AI is used

Narration, voices, pictures and music are produced by AI services and can be unexpected or wrong. Rules outcomes are decided by a rules engine, not by the storyteller. What players type or say is treated as story input. It cannot authorise spending, change a spending limit or override a provider’s policy.

What you may do

Use DungeonFlux within the content policy draft. Upload only material you have the right to use. Do not try to get around spending limits, access another person’s private information, or disrupt the service.

A pilot service

The service is a pilot. It has no uptime guarantee and it can change. If the product is shut down or an account is inactive for a long time, the plan is to give notice and a meaningful window to export your data. Perpetual hosting is not promised.

Suspension and appeals

Accounts can be suspended for abuse. The process for reports, suspension, appeals, content takedown and law-enforcement requests is still to be defined with counsel.
