1. About these terms
Yonderlume (the game at https://play.yonderlume.com/ and the website at https://yonderlume.com/) is a free hobby project run by Wilvert ("we", "us"). These terms are the agreement between you and us about playing it. By logging in to the game you accept them. Please also read our Privacy Policy.
2. Who can play
You must be at least 13 years old, or have permission from a parent or guardian. You also need a Discord account, and you must follow Discord's terms and meet their minimum age (16 in the Netherlands).
3. Your account
- You log in with Discord; your Yonderlume account is linked to your Discord account. One account per person.
- You are responsible for what happens with your account. Keep your Discord account secure, and do not share, sell or lend your account or characters.
- Character names must not be offensive, misleading, or pretend to be someone else (including us or the game). We may rename a character whose name breaks these rules.
4. Code of conduct
Yonderlume is meant to be a cozy place. When you play, chat or trade:
- Be respectful. No harassment, bullying, threats, hate speech or discrimination.
- No sexual or graphic content, and nothing illegal.
- Do not share anyone's personal information, including your own, in public chat.
- No spam, advertising, or links to scams or malware.
- Do not scam other players, for example by misleading them in a trade.
- Do not pretend to be us, a moderator, or another player.
5. Fair play
To keep the game fair for everyone, you may not:
- use cheats, hacks, or modified or third-party clients that give you an advantage or change how the game works;
- use bots, macros, scripts, or other automation to play for you;
- exploit bugs or glitches on purpose. If you find one, please report it to info@yonderlume.com;
- disrupt the game or its servers, for example by flooding them with traffic or trying to get unauthorized access;
- buy, sell, or trade items, gold, characters or accounts for real money or anything else outside the game (no real-money trading).
6. Virtual items and gold
Items, gold, levels and everything else in the game are part of the game, not property. We give you a personal, non-transferable right to use them while you play. They have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for money, and are never refunded or compensated. To keep the game working and fair we may change, rebalance, reset or remove them, for example to fix a bug, undo the effects of an exploit, or restore a backup.
7. Community content
You may be able to submit content for the game, such as maps made with the map editor ("community content"). Chat messages and character names are covered by the code of conduct above.
- You keep the copyright in what you create.
- By submitting community content you give Wilvert a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable license to use, copy, modify, adapt, combine with other content, publish and distribute it, as part of Yonderlume and to promote it, and to let others do so on our behalf. This includes fixing, rebalancing, renaming, or removing it at any time.
- To the extent the law allows, you agree not to invoke your moral rights against reasonable changes we make to fit your content into the game. We will credit you where practical, by the name you choose.
- You confirm that the content is your own work (or that you have the right to submit it), and that it does not copy art, names or other material from other games or creators without permission.
- We are not obliged to use what you submit.
We will not publish submitted maps under an open license without asking the maker first.
8. The game is a work in progress
Yonderlume is in early development and offered free of charge. It may change at any time, be unavailable, contain bugs, or lose data. We may add, change or remove features, and we may end the game; if we do, we will try to announce it at least 30 days in advance.
9. Suspension and termination
If you break these terms, we may warn you, mute you, remove items obtained by breaking them, suspend your account, or delete it, depending on how serious it is. You can stop playing at any time, and ask us to delete your account as described in the Privacy Policy. If you think we made a mistake, email info@yonderlume.com.
10. Liability
The game is provided free of charge and "as is". As far as the law allows, we are not liable for any damage resulting from using the game or not being able to use it, including the loss of characters, items, gold or other game data. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for intent or gross negligence, or your rights as a consumer under mandatory law.
11. Our content
The game, its software, art, music, name and logo belong to Wilvert or its licensors. You may make screenshots and videos of the game and share them, including in monetized videos and streams, as long as you do not suggest that we endorse you. Do not copy the game itself or its art for other purposes.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, for example when the game gets new features. We will update the date at the top and announce important changes on the website or in the game at least 14 days before they take effect. If you keep playing after that, the new terms apply; if you do not agree, you can stop playing and have your account deleted.
13. Applicable law
These terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes go to the competent court in the Netherlands. If you live elsewhere in the EU as a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory law of your country and may also go to the courts there.
