TERMS OF SERVICE

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Strand GTM LLC, a New York limited liability company ("OSR.RUN," "we," "us"), the operator of the website and service available at osr.run (the "Service"). By creating an account, joining a session, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you use the Service on behalf of someone else (for example, you run a game table that includes minors), you are responsible for ensuring their use complies with these Terms.

2. What the Service Is

OSR.RUN is a digital toolkit for running tabletop roleplaying games in person: a game master ("GM") control panel, live player character sheets, a shared table display, real-time session synchronization, an in-game shop, optional smart-lighting integration, and a ruleset ingestor that converts game data into a machine-readable format the app can display.

The Service is a table aid. It does not include game rules, adjudicate games, or replace any rulebook. You and your group remain responsible for your own game.

3. Accounts and Eligibility

• You must be at least 13 years old to create an account — or 16 where local law sets a higher age of digital consent (for example, California and parts of the European Economic Area). If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf, and any paid subscription must be purchased by an adult. Children below the minimum age may participate at the table only under the supervision and responsibility of an adult account holder, without an account of their own.
• Accounts are managed through our authentication provider. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account.
• You agree to provide accurate account information and to keep it current.
• One person per account. You may not sell, transfer, or share your account.

4. Subscriptions, Billing, and Refunds

• Players join free. Joining a campaign with an invite link and using a player character sheet does not require a paid plan.
• GM features require a paid subscription (the "GM plan"), billed through our payment processor. Prices, billing intervals, and included features are shown at the point of purchase.
• Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep GM access until then.
• Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable, including for partial billing periods or unused features. We may consider refund requests in individual cases at our discretion; granting one is not a waiver of this policy.
• We may change prices with reasonable advance notice; changes apply from your next renewal.
• We may grant free or discounted access (comped accounts, trials) at our discretion and may modify or withdraw such access at any time.

5. Your Content and the Ruleset Ingestor

This section matters most. Read it.

5.1 How the ingestor works

When you upload a rulebook PDF, the Service processes it on our servers using an automated, structural (non-AI) parser. The parser:

• analyzes the document's layout and vocabulary to locate game-mechanical data — for example class names, spell lists, monster statistics, equipment tables, and system capabilities;
• produces a structured ruleset file containing that extracted game data, which the app uses to configure character sheets, displays, and tools for your campaigns. The ruleset file contains text extracted from your book, including names (of spells, monsters, classes, items, and similar game elements), statistics, and — where the book's layout permits — descriptive text such as ability descriptions and item text, reproduced verbatim or near-verbatim;
• produces an internal extraction document describing what was found and where, containing page numbers and short location markers rather than reproductions of the book's text;
• deletes the uploaded PDF after processing. We retain the extracted ruleset and extraction document in your private library; we do not retain, host, or redistribute the PDF itself.

The extracted ruleset is, in substance, a private machine-readable copy of portions of your book, made at your direction so that you can use it at your own table. That is why Section 5.2 requires that you have the rights to the content you upload, and why the license in Section 5.3 is limited to operating the Service for you.

Extracted rulesets are stored in your private ruleset library, scoped to your account. They are not public, not shared with other GMs, and not pooled into any common library. Ruleset content becomes visible to other people only when you attach it to a campaign and run a session — at which point the players and table display you invite can see the game data relevant to play (for example, item stats in the shop, or a monster's hit points on the table display).

Note that extraction is mechanical and imperfect: fields may be extracted partially, garbled, or not at all, depending on the book's layout. We make no promise that any particular book will ingest completely or correctly.

5.2 You must have the rights to what you upload

By uploading any content to the Service — including PDFs, JSON rulesets, custom items, custom monsters, character data, names, and notes (collectively, "User Content") — you represent and warrant that:

1. you own the User Content, or you have all rights, licenses, and permissions necessary to upload it and to have the Service process it as described in Section 5.1;
2. for uploaded rulebooks specifically, you possess a lawfully obtained copy of the book and your use of the extracted data is for your own games — personal use at tables you run or play at;
3. your upload does not violate any third party's intellectual property rights, any license terms attached to the content (including open-gaming and Creative Commons licenses), or any applicable law;
4. you have not circumvented any technological protection measure (DRM) to produce the file you upload.

You — not OSR.RUN — are solely responsible for ensuring your uploads comply with the licenses and copyrights covering the underlying works. Game licenses vary widely: some publishers freely license their mechanics, some license text under Creative Commons or open-gaming licenses, and some reserve all rights. It is your job to know which applies to the book you upload. If you are not sure you have the right to upload something, don't.

5.3 Ownership and the license you grant us

You retain all ownership rights you have in your User Content. We claim no ownership of it.

So that the Service can function, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, reproduce, transmit, and display your User Content solely as needed to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service — for example: parsing your uploaded PDF, storing the resulting ruleset in your library, syncing game state to the devices in your session, and keeping backups. This license ends when you delete the relevant content or your account, except (a) where the content has been shared into a campaign and remains part of another user's data (for example, a character another player copied with your consent through a Service feature), and (b) for residual copies in routine backups, which are purged on our normal backup cycle.

We do not use your User Content to train machine-learning models, and we do not sell it.

5.4 Content standards

You are responsible for the User Content you submit, including its legality, reliability, and appropriateness, and for all activity under your account. You may not submit content that is:

• unlawful or promoting unlawful activity;
• defamatory, discriminatory, or harassing toward any person or group;
• spam, machine-generated, or unauthorized advertising or solicitation;
• containing viruses, malware, or anything designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to any system or data;
• infringing on any proprietary right of any party, including patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or right of publicity;
• impersonating any person or entity, including us;
• violating the privacy of any third person.

We are not responsible for content submitted by users. We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to determine in our reasonable discretion whether content complies with these Terms, and to refuse, remove, or restrict it, and to limit or revoke access to the Service of anyone who submits content violating this section. Because we cannot review all user content, you use the Service at your own risk and we will not be liable for any user content, including errors or omissions in it or any loss or damage incurred from its use.

5.5 Copyright policy and DMCA procedure

We respect the intellectual-property rights of others and will respond to claims that content on the Service infringes copyright. We may remove or disable allegedly infringing content and will suspend or terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act for one, you may submit a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by providing our copyright agent with the following in writing (see 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) for detail):

1. a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest;
2. a description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, including where it can be found or a copy of it;
3. identification of the specific location on the Service of the material you claim is infringing (for example, the campaign, ruleset name, or URL);
4. your address, telephone number, and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
6. a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Send notices to our copyright agent at dmca@osr.run. Our designated agent is registered in the U.S. Copyright Office's DMCA Designated Agent Directory. Upon receipt of a valid notification we will take the action we deem appropriate, which may include removing the challenged content and notifying the uploader, and we accept counter-notifications as provided by applicable law.

You may be held accountable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) for materially misrepresenting that content is infringing (17 U.S.C. §512(f)).

6. Bundled and Third-Party Game Content

The Service ships with a small number of optional, openly licensed rulesets (for example, content released under Creative Commons or similar open licenses). Where such content is offered:

• the original license and attribution travel with it, and your use of that content is governed by its license, not by these Terms;
• trademarks and product names of third-party publishers belong to their respective owners; their appearance in the Service does not imply endorsement of OSR.RUN, and OSR.RUN is not affiliated with any game publisher unless expressly stated.

7. Our Intellectual Property

The Service itself — including its software, design, visual themes, text, and branding — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property law. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the Service except as permitted by law or by an applicable open-source license. Feedback you send us may be used without obligation to you.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• upload content you do not have the right to upload (see Section 5.2);
• use the Service to reproduce, distribute, or republish copyrighted rulebooks or their text, or to build or populate any content library, database, or product for anyone beyond your own game tables;
• probe, scan, overload, or disrupt the Service, bypass authentication or authorization (including session, campaign, or GM-only controls), or access another user's data without permission;
• scrape the Service or access it with automated agents except through features we provide;
• upload malware or content that is unlawful, or use the Service to harass others;
• resell or commercially redistribute the Service or extracted rulesets, or misrepresent your affiliation with us.

We may investigate violations and suspend or terminate access for conduct that violates this section.

9. Sessions, Players, and Your Table

• GMs control their campaigns: who is invited, what ruleset is used, and what session data (HP, conditions, notes, deaths, purchases) is recorded and displayed. By joining a session, players consent to their character data being visible to the GM and, where the table display is used, to others present at the table.
• Invite links grant access to your campaign. Treat them like keys: anyone with the link and a valid sign-in can join. You are responsible for who you share them with.
• Character data a player creates belongs to that player as between the player and OSR.RUN; campaign structure and GM notes belong to the GM. The Service's copy features only move character data at the direction of the account that owns it or with a GM's campaign-level controls.

10. Third-Party Services and Integrations

The Service depends on third-party providers for authentication, payments, data storage, and hosting; their processing of your data is described in our Privacy Policy. Optional smart-lighting integrations (for example, Philips Hue or WLED) connect to hardware on your local network at your direction; you are responsible for that hardware and your network, and we are not liable for the behavior of third-party devices.

11. Availability, Changes, and Data

• We aim for high availability but do not guarantee the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. Live session state is synchronized best-effort; brief disconnections and resyncs are a normal part of operation.
• We may add, change, or remove features at any time. If we discontinue the Service entirely, we will make reasonable efforts to give advance notice so you can export or record your campaign data.
• We perform routine backups, but we do not guarantee there will be no loss or corruption of data, and we have no liability for the integrity of backups or for failure to restore content to a usable state. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose — including source rulebook files (which we delete after processing, see 5.1) and any campaign records you care about.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access (with or without notice, depending on severity) if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or if your use creates risk or harm to the Service or others. Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends; Sections 5.3 (residual backups), 7, 13, 14, and 15 survive.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY OF EXTRACTED GAME DATA, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY PARTICULAR DOCUMENT WILL BE INGESTED COMPLETELY OR CORRECTLY, AND WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION ABOUT WHETHER YOUR USE OF ANY THIRD-PARTY GAME CONTENT IS PERMITTED UNDER ITS LICENSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, SO PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE; AND (B) OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE AND (ii) FIFTY US DOLLARS ($50). THESE LIMITS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless OSR.RUN and its operators from any claims, damages, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content, including any claim that content you uploaded infringes a third party's intellectual-property rights; (b) your breach of these Terms; or (c) your violation of law or of any third-party right in connection with the Service.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a revision is material, we will make reasonable efforts to give notice (for example, by email or an in-app notice) at least 30 days before it takes effect, except where changes are required by law or address an urgent security or legal issue. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our reasonable discretion. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and, if applicable, cancel your subscription before the changes take effect.

17. Governing Law and Disputes

If you have a concern or dispute about the Service, you agree to first try to resolve it informally by contacting us at support@osr.run.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and the parties consent to their jurisdiction. Either party may instead bring an individual claim that qualifies in small claims court in their own jurisdiction. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable rights you have under the consumer-protection laws of your place of residence.

18. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any order page terms, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship.
