Plain-English summary (not part of the agreement)
  • Your worlds, maps, articles, and uploads stay yours. We only get the permission we need to store them and show them to you and the people you share them with.
  • Don't upload things you don't have the rights to, and don't upload anything illegal. Nothing sexual involving minors, ever.
  • We can remove content and close accounts that break these rules.
  • Paid subscriptions renew until you cancel. Cancel any time and you keep access to the end of the period you paid for. 14-day money-back on your first payment.
  • We do not use your content to train AI models.
  • Keep your own backups. Use the JSON export.

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

Homebrewed (the "Service") is operated by Homebrewed LLC, a New York limited liability company ("Homebrewed", "we", "us"), at 418 Broadway, Ste N, Albany, NY 12207.

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Homebrewed. They cover the website at homebrewed.gg, the worldbuilder, the virtual tabletop at /play, and everything we offer through them.

By creating an account, joining a table, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Players without accounts. You can join a table using a join code without registering. If you join a table, you are using the Service and these Terms apply to you too, even though you never made an account.

Our Privacy Policy at homebrewed.gg/privacy explains what data we collect and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

2. Eligibility and age

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you may only use the Service with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian, and by using it you confirm your parent or guardian agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

The Service is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn that an account belongs to a child under 13, we will close it and delete the associated data. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, email hello@homebrewed.gg.

You also confirm you are not barred from using the Service under the laws of your country or under U.S. sanctions and export rules.

3. Your account

  • You are responsible for everything that happens under your account, including anything your collaborators or table guests do with access you granted them.
  • Keep your password secure. Tell us promptly at hello@homebrewed.gg if you think someone else has access.
  • One account per person. Do not create multiple accounts to get around free-tier limits.
  • Give us accurate information and keep your email current. We use it for account, billing, and security notices.

4. Your content

4.1 What counts as Your Content

"Your Content" means anything you create, upload, or store on the Service: worlds, articles, lore, campaign notes, region and battle maps, pins, timelines, relationship graphs, family trees, character and NPC entries, uploaded images and art, tokens, audio files, custom spells and homebrew rules, JSON imports, and chat and messages sent through a table.

4.2 You keep ownership

You own Your Content. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your worlds, your writing, or your uploads to us. We do not claim any copyright in them.

4.3 The license you give us

Running a hosted service means we have to copy your files onto servers, resize them, and send them to browsers. That requires your permission, so you grant us one:

You grant Homebrewed a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, back up, reproduce, transmit, reformat, resize, transcode, and display Your Content, solely to the extent necessary to operate, secure, and support the Service for you and the people you share with.

Specifically, that license lets us:

  • store your files and database records and keep backups;
  • generate thumbnails, previews, compressed versions, and signed access links;
  • display Your Content back to you, to collaborators you have invited, and to players at a table you have opened;
  • publish Your Content at a public URL if, and only for as long as, you have chosen to make it public;
  • keep a limited copy where needed to comply with the law or resolve a dispute.

We may pass these rights through to the service providers who help us run Homebrewed (hosting, database, storage, and content delivery vendors), and only for that purpose. This is not a general right to sublicense your work to anyone else.

What this license does not include. We will not sell Your Content, license it to third parties for their own use, or use it to train machine learning or AI models, and we do not permit our providers to do so either. We will not use Your Content in Homebrewed marketing or promotional material without asking you first.

How long it lasts. This license ends when you delete the content or close your account, except that (a) copies may persist in routine backups for up to 30 days before they are overwritten, and (b) if you shared content with a collaborator who copied it, or a player who downloaded it, we cannot claw those copies back.

4.4 Sharing and public worlds

When you invite a collaborator, open a table, or publish a world publicly, you are granting those people permission to view, and where you allow it to edit, that content through the Service. Anything you make public can be seen, saved, and screenshotted by anyone with the link. Think before you publish.

During play, the Service may generate temporary access links to your maps, tokens, and audio and share them with the players at your table so their browsers can display them. That is how the tabletop works.

4.5 Your promises about what you upload

Every time you upload something, you are telling us that:

  • you created it, or you have the rights and permissions needed for it to be stored and displayed on the Service;
  • it does not infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights;
  • it does not break the rules in Section 5.

This matters most for art. A lot of maps, tokens, portraits, and music circulating in the hobby are licensed for personal use only, or not licensed at all. Uploading a purchased asset pack for your own private table is usually fine under the seller's license. Republishing it in a public world often is not. Check the license on your assets. You are responsible for what you upload.

4.6 Feedback

If you send us feature ideas, bug reports, or suggestions, we can use them freely, without obligation or payment to you. This does not affect your ownership of Your Content.

4.7 We do not pre-screen

We do not review content before it goes up, and we have no obligation to monitor the Service. We do have the right to review, and to act, as described in Section 6.

5. Rules for content and conduct

Do not upload, create, share, or transmit through the Service:

Absolutely prohibited, zero tolerance:

  1. Any sexual content involving minors, or content that sexualizes characters depicted as, described as, or reasonably appearing to be minors, in any form including artwork, text, and AI-generated images. We report suspected child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and to law enforcement, and we terminate the account immediately and permanently.

Also prohibited:

  1. Content you do not have the rights to, including commercial adventure PDFs, rulebook text, and paid map, token, art, or audio packs redistributed beyond what your license allows.
  2. Content that is illegal, or that promotes or facilitates serious illegal activity or real-world violence.
  3. Threats, harassment, stalking, or targeted abuse of real people, and doxxing or publishing anyone's private information.
  4. Content attacking people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Fantasy conflict between fictional peoples is part of the genre. Using it as a wrapper for real-world hate is not.
  5. Sexually explicit images or pornographic material. This is not permitted anywhere on the Service, public or private. Mature themes, violence, and adult subject matter in written lore and campaign text are permitted.
  6. Malware, viruses, phishing pages, or anything designed to damage or gain unauthorized access to systems or data.
  7. Spam, bulk unsolicited messaging, or advertising unrelated to your table.

And do not:

  1. Use Homebrewed storage as a general file host, backup drive, or content delivery network for material unrelated to your worlds or games.
  2. Probe, scan, or stress-test the Service, bypass rate limits or storage caps, scrape it with bots, or try to access other users' worlds or accounts.
  3. Reverse engineer, decompile, or copy the Service to build a competing product, except where that restriction is void under applicable law.
  4. Resell, sublicense, or share your account access with people outside the collaborator and table features we provide.
  5. Impersonate anyone or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or organization.

6. Enforcement, removal, and termination

If we believe content or behavior breaks these Terms, exposes us or our users to legal risk, or harms the Service, we may, at our discretion and with or without notice:

  • remove or disable access to specific content;
  • turn off public sharing for a world or make it private;
  • limit account features, suspend the account, or terminate it;
  • keep records as needed for legal compliance.

We aim to give notice and, where a fix is reasonable, a chance to fix it. For serious violations, including anything in Section 5 item 1, illegal content, or attacks on the Service, we act immediately and permanently.

Repeat infringers. We terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright, in appropriate circumstances.

If your account is terminated for cause, you are not entitled to a refund of fees already paid.

You can leave any time. Delete your account from your account settings. Export your worlds first, JSON export is available from every world. When you delete your account we delete your worlds, uploads, and personal data as described in our Privacy Policy, other than backups that age out and records we must keep by law. Deletion is permanent and we cannot restore it.

We may discontinue the Service. If we ever shut Homebrewed down, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email, keep exports working during that window, and refund the unused portion of any prepaid subscription.

7. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

We respect copyright and respond to valid notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Send notices to our designated agent:

Copyright Agent
Homebrewed LLC
418 Broadway, Ste N
Albany, NY 12207
Email: legal@homebrewed.gg
Phone: (929) 900-4426

A valid notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say was infringed.
  3. Identification of the material you want removed, with enough detail for us to find it, such as the URL.
  4. Your contact information: address, telephone number, and email.
  5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for them.

We will remove or disable the material and notify the user who posted it.

Counter-notice. If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same address with: your signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the removal was a mistake or misidentification; your name, address, and phone number; and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district, or the Southern District of New York if you are outside the United States, and to accept service from the person who filed the notice. If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant tells us they have filed a court action.

Knowingly filing a false notice or counter-notice can make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. ยง 512(f).

8. Our content and the 5e rules

The Homebrewed software, design, name, and logo belong to us. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the Service under these Terms, and nothing more.

Homebrewed uses game rules content from the System Reference Document, made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Homebrewed is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Wizards of the Coast LLC or any other game publisher. Trademarks belong to their owners and are referenced only descriptively.

9. Plans, billing, and payment

Free tier. The free tier is provided as-is and we may change its limits with notice. Existing content over a new limit will not be deleted, see Section 10.4.

Paid subscription. A Homebrewed subscription is [$4.99 per month, $24.99 for six months, or $49.99 per year - confirm these match your live Creem products]. The six-month and annual plans are billed once up front for the whole period. Prices are shown at checkout in your currency and may include tax depending on where you are.

Payments are handled by Creem. Creem is our merchant of record. When you buy a subscription, Creem is the seller for that transaction, Creem appears on your card statement, and Creem's Buyer Terms apply to the payment itself. Creem collects and remits sales tax and VAT. We never see or store your full card number.

Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period, monthly, six-month, or annual as selected, at the then-current price, and continue until you cancel. You authorize recurring charges to your payment method. You can cancel at any time as described in Section 10.

Price changes. We will email you at least 30 days before any price increase takes effect. The new price applies from your next renewal. If you do not want it, cancel before then.

Failed payments. If a charge fails, we may retry, and if it keeps failing we may downgrade your account to the free tier. Your worlds are not deleted, see Section 10.4.

Taxes. Prices are exclusive of taxes unless stated at checkout. Creem handles calculation and remittance where required.

10. Cancellation and refunds

10.1 Cancelling

Cancel any time from your account page, or from the Creem customer portal linked in your purchase receipt email. No email or phone call required.

When you cancel, you keep your paid features until the end of the billing period you already paid for. Your account moves to the free tier after that, and you are not charged again.

10.2 Refunds

Payments are processed by Creem as merchant of record, so refunds are issued through Creem, but we decide eligibility. Ask us first at billing@homebrewed.gg, and include the email on your account and the date of the charge.

  • First payment: 14 days, no questions asked. If you are unhappy with your first payment on a new subscription, tell us within 14 days of that charge and we will refund it in full.
  • Renewals. Renewal charges are generally not refundable. If a renewal caught you by surprise, contact us within 7 days of the charge and we will usually refund it, at our discretion, if you have not made significant use of paid features since the renewal.
  • No partial-period refunds. We do not pro-rate refunds for time left in a period after you cancel. You keep access for the rest of it.
  • Billing errors. Duplicate charges, charges after cancellation, and other billing mistakes are refunded in full, always.
  • Free tier. Nothing to refund.
  • Creem may also issue a refund at its own discretion within 60 days of a purchase, for example to head off a chargeback.

10.3 Chargebacks

Please contact us before disputing a charge with your bank. Most problems are a five-minute email fix. If a chargeback is filed we may suspend the account until it is resolved.

10.4 What happens to your worlds if you downgrade

We will not delete your worlds because your subscription ended or you exceeded a limit. Worlds beyond the free-tier limit become read-only. You can still open them, read them, and export them to JSON. You choose which worlds stay editable. Resubscribe and everything unlocks again.

10.5 Consumer rights

Nothing in this section limits refund or cancellation rights you have under mandatory consumer protection law where you live, including the statutory right of withdrawal available to consumers in the EU and UK.

11. Availability, changes, and beta features

We are a small operation and we do not promise the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may change, add, or remove features, and we may schedule maintenance. We will try to give notice of anything disruptive.

Some features may be labeled beta, preview, or experimental. Those are provided as-is, may change or disappear, and should not be relied on for anything you cannot afford to lose.

Backups are your responsibility too. We take backups, but you should export your worlds regularly using the built-in JSON export. We are not liable for lost content.

Inactive accounts. We may delete free accounts that have not been signed into for 24 consecutive months. We will email the address on the account at least 30 days before we do.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT CONTENT WILL NOT BE LOST.

We are not responsible for content posted by other users, and we are not a party to your arrangements with your players or collaborators.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HOMEBREWED LLC AND ITS MEMBERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR CONTENT, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS.

These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be excluded by law, including fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

14. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Homebrewed LLC and its members from any claims, damages, losses, and reasonable legal fees arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms. This does not apply to claims caused by our own wrongdoing.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If a change is material, we will email account holders and post a notice in the app at least 30 days before it takes effect, and update the "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the new Terms. If you do not accept them, cancel and delete your account, and if you had prepaid we will refund the unused portion.

16. Disputes and governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws rules.

Talk to us first. Before filing anything, email legal@homebrewed.gg with a description of the problem. We will try to resolve it within 30 days. Most disputes end here.

If that does not work, you and Homebrewed agree that disputes will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York, and we each consent to personal jurisdiction there. You may also bring a qualifying claim in small claims court.

If you are a consumer resident in the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction whose law gives you the right to bring claims in your local courts or under your local law, nothing here takes that away.

17. Other terms

  • Whole agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
  • Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
  • No waiver. If we do not enforce something right away, we have not given up the right to enforce it later.
  • Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may assign them to a successor in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on notice to you.
  • Force majeure. We are not liable for failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
  • Survival. Sections 4.2, 4.6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17 survive termination.
