Welcome to UNSPELLED. This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") governs your access to and use of UNSPELLED, including its online matches, voice and text communication tools, single-player and bot modes, the Map Creator and its other building tools, updates, and any other feature or service we provide in connection with the game (together, the "Game").

By installing, launching, or otherwise using the Game, you accept this Agreement. If you have not yet reached the age of majority in your place of residence, you may only use the Game with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.


This Agreement governs everyone who installs or plays the Game.

Rules, announcements, community guidelines, or other instructions we publish through the Game itself, our store page, our website, our social media channels, our Discord server, or any other official channel are incorporated into and form part of this Agreement.

We reserve the right to add, modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature, mode, name, delivery method, supported platform, or term of this Agreement at any time.


UNSPELLED is primarily an online party-brawler, and also offers offline single-player and bot matches.

You are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining the hardware, operating system, internet connection, platform account, and any other resources needed to run the Game.

Performance may vary, or the Game may not function correctly, depending on your device, network conditions, platform, our server availability, or changes made by third-party services we rely on.

We make no promise that the Game will run flawlessly on every setup, remain available at all times, be free of defects, or match every player's expectations.


Online matches place you in a lobby, room, or server together with other players, where the objective is to whittle away opponents' name-letters and limbs until only one name remains.

While playing online, treat other participants with basic respect and help keep matches fun, fair, and safe for everyone.

The following are not allowed during online play:

1. Insults, slurs, threats, harassment, discriminatory remarks, or deliberate provocation aimed at other players
2. Deliberately stalling matches, going AFK to disrupt play, or otherwise sabotaging a match for reasons unrelated to normal strategy
3. Running cheat software, hacks, modified game files, third-party injectors, macros, or automation scripts
4. Abusing bugs or unintended mechanics to gain an edge, harm other players, or throw off game balance
5. Any action that degrades our servers, network performance, matchmaking, or leaderboard integrity
6. Pretending to be another player, a staff member, or any other person or organization
7. Collecting, exposing, or mishandling another player's personal details
8. Using matches to solicit dates, advertise, promote a business, or push political or religious messages
9. Any behavior that keeps us or other players from using the Game as intended
10. Any other conduct we reasonably consider inappropriate

To keep online matches fair and safe, we may inspect match logs, communications, in-game conduct, matchmaking history, chosen names, and related account information as needed.


Playing UNSPELLED may involve linking a platform account, choosing a username or in-game character name, and generating save files, statistics, and other account-linked data.

Keeping your login credentials secure is your responsibility. Do not lend, share, sell, or otherwise hand control of your account to anyone else.

Except where caused by our intentional misconduct or gross carelessness, we bear no responsibility for losses resulting from your account being compromised, mismanaged, or accessed by someone else.


The Game offers live voice chat and may also include text messaging, quick-chat phrases, profile fields, room names, and similar communication tools. Whatever you say or share through these tools is your own responsibility.

Do not use any communication feature to transmit content that:

1. Insults, threatens, discriminates against, or harasses anyone
2. Is sexually explicit, graphically violent, or otherwise offensive in content or tone
3. Reveals someone's personal details, such as a home address, phone number, or email
4. Links to outside websites for advertising, scams, or spam purposes
5. Promotes crime, self-harm, or other dangerous behavior
6. Is designed to target, impersonate, or damage another player, staff member, or third party
7. We otherwise find inappropriate

Because voice communication happens live, we cannot practically monitor or archive every conversation. We may still take action based on player reports, voluntarily submitted recordings, or other evidence brought to our attention.

Except where our own intentional misconduct or gross carelessness is the cause, we are not responsible for conflicts, harm, or other issues that arise between players over voice or text communication.


Your chosen in-game name doubles as your health total, making it a central part of gameplay. Usernames and character names may not:

1. Impersonate a real person, brand, organization, or fictional character in a misleading way
2. Contain slurs, threats, harassment, or discriminatory language
3. Contain sexual or otherwise obscene wording
4. Include anyone's personal or contact information
5. Copy a third party's trademark or copyrighted material
6. Otherwise conflict with any part of this Agreement

Where we determine a name breaks these rules, we may reset, rename, hide, or otherwise restrict it, or apply any of the measures described in Article 13, without advance warning.


The Game includes the Map Creator, where you can design your own arenas, and Create Asset, where you can build your own objects out of basic shapes (together, the "Building Tools"). Every map, custom object, map name, description, preview picture, and anything else you make with the Building Tools is called a "Creation."

Where your Creations live

1. Creations are saved on the device you make them on. If Steam Cloud is turned on for your account, a copy of your own Creations is also kept in your Steam Cloud storage so that they are available on other computers where you play. That storage is limited in size and is run by Valve, not by us.
2. When you publish a map and a host picks it for a lobby, the whole map — including any custom objects built into it and its preview picture — is sent automatically to every player in that lobby, and a copy may stay on their devices after the match. Your Steam display name and a creator identifier are attached to the map so other players can see who made it.
3. Once a map has reached other players, we cannot pull back or delete the copies on their devices. Only publish maps you are comfortable with other people keeping.
4. Players who receive a map can remove it from their own lists at any time. Only the original creator can publish new versions of a map.

Our assets inside your Creations

The ready-made objects, materials, skies, sounds, and other assets offered in the Building Tools belong to us or our licensors. You may use them to build Creations and play them inside the Game. You may not extract them from the Game, repackage them, sell them, or use them anywhere outside the Game, and placing them in a map does not give you any ownership of them.

What Creations must not contain

A Creation — including its name, description, preview picture, and any shapes, text, or patterns formed by the objects in it — must not:

1. Form or depict hate symbols, slurs, or discriminatory imagery, whether written out or built from objects
2. Show sexual, obscene, or gratuitously gory material
3. Target, mock, or harass a real person, group, or community
4. Contain personal or contact information, such as names paired with addresses, phone numbers, emails, or social media handles
5. Recreate another game's maps, logos, characters, or other protected work closely enough to infringe on someone else's rights, unless you hold those rights
6. Advertise products, services, or websites, run scams, or campaign for political or religious causes
7. Be built to crash, freeze, or slow down the Game or other players' devices, or to exploit bugs — for example, arenas that trap players at spawn or make a match impossible to finish
8. Pose as official UNSPELLED content or as another creator's work
9. Otherwise break any part of this Agreement

Sharing Creations outside the Game

The Game does not currently offer a way to post Creations directly to social media, workshops, or other outside services. If you share Creations yourself — through screenshots, videos, streams, copied files, or any other method — you are responsible for doing so in line with that service's rules, applicable law, and other people's rights, and any dispute that arises from it is yours to resolve at your own cost, as described in Articles 9 and 10.

Updates and Creations

We try to keep older Creations working as the Game changes, but updates may alter how Creations look or behave, change what the Building Tools can do, or stop some Creations from loading. Creations are covered by the save data terms in Article 16.

Our response

If we believe a Creation breaks this Agreement, receive a complaint or takedown notice about one, or otherwise consider it necessary, we may block the Creation from being shared or played online, remove it from lobbies, restrict your access to the Building Tools or to publishing, or apply any of the measures in Article 13, without advance notice. We are not obligated to review every Creation that players make or share.


The Game lets you put a picture on your character's head (a "Custom Face"): one of the ready-made faces, a photo taken with your device's camera, or a picture file from your device. Adding a Custom Face is entirely optional, and the Game asks for your confirmation before it opens your camera.

How Custom Faces work

1. Your Custom Face is saved only on the device you made it on. It is not stored in Steam Cloud or on our servers.
2. When you play online, your Custom Face is sent to the other players in your lobbies and matches so it can be shown on your character. While it is shown, other players may be able to see, screenshot, or record it.
3. Any player can turn faces off at any time with "Disable Faces" (the F key or the Esc menu). A player with faces turned off sees no one's face, and their own face is not sent to or shown to anyone.

What you must not use as a Custom Face

You alone are responsible for every picture you use as a Custom Face. Do not use a picture that:

1. Shows nudity, sexual content, gore, or anything obscene, vulgar, or otherwise offensive
2. Contains hate symbols, slurs, or discriminatory, threatening, or harassing content
3. Shows another person without their permission, or is used to impersonate, mock, embarrass, or target anyone
4. Shows a minor other than yourself, unless you are their parent or legal guardian and choose to share it
5. Contains personal or contact information, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, or social media handles
6. Uses trademarks, logos, characters, artwork, or other material you don't have the right to use
7. Advertises or promotes anything, or otherwise breaks this Agreement

Our responsibility

Custom Faces are chosen by players and are not reviewed by us before they are shown. We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for the pictures players use. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except where caused by our own intentional misconduct or gross carelessness, we are not responsible or liable for any Custom Face — including obscene or offensive images, images of other people, or images that infringe anyone's rights — or for any harm, complaint, or dispute arising from one. Any such claim or dispute is the responsibility of the player who used that picture, at their own cost, as described in Articles 19 and 20.

If you don't want to see other players' faces, you can turn faces off at any time. If we become aware that a Custom Face breaks this Agreement, we may remove or hide it, restrict or disable your use of Custom Faces, or apply any of the measures in Article 13, without advance notice.


"Your Content" refers to usernames, character names, profile details, comments, room titles, Creations, Custom Faces, and anything else you generate, submit, or display through the Game.

Ownership of Your Content generally stays with you or whoever legitimately holds the rights to it. For Creations, this covers what you designed yourself, such as the layout of a map or the shape of a custom object — not the built-in assets described in Article 7, which remain ours or our licensors'.

We generally stay out of Your Content when it is used only for personal in-game expression, play, or communication.

That said, if you choose to publish, distribute, or let others access Your Content outside the Game — for instance through screen recordings, clips, streams, or shared files — you take on full responsibility for that decision.

By using the Game, you give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to store, copy, transmit, display, adapt (for example, converting a map so it keeps working after an update), publish, and otherwise use Your Content to the extent reasonably needed to run, maintain, secure, improve, and promote the Game. This includes showing Creations in trailers, screenshots, store pages, and our official channels. It does not include using photos you add as a Custom Face to promote the Game - we only pass them to the other players in your matches so they can be shown on your character.

When you publish a Creation, you also allow other players to download it, keep it on their devices, and view and play it inside the Game.

If we believe Your Content breaks this Agreement, or if we receive a complaint, legal notice, or takedown request from a third party regarding it, or if we otherwise think action is warranted, we may remove, hide, restrict, or otherwise act on that content, on related features, or on your account, without prior notice.

We are not, however, obligated to actively review, archive, or respond to every piece of content players generate.


All rights to the Game itself — code, art, music, trademarks, and other intellectual property — belong to us or to the third parties who licensed them to us.

You are free to record, screenshot, stream, and publish your own gameplay, including for monetized content, subject to any separate content-creator guidelines we may issue later.

If your username, comments, Creations, streams, or shared content incorporate someone else's trademark, artwork, music, likeness, or other protected material, that inclusion is entirely your own responsibility. Nothing in this Agreement should be read as our endorsement or authorization of any rights infringement.

Whenever you post or stream anything related to the Game, you're expected to follow the relevant platform's rules, applicable law, third-party rights, and any guidelines we separately publish.

Should a dispute, legal claim, takedown notice, or other issue arise out of something you posted, shared, or streamed, you are responsible for resolving it at your own cost. Except where our own intentional misconduct or gross carelessness caused the problem, we bear no liability for it.

The following types of posts or streams are not permitted:

1. Anything that otherwise breaks this Agreement
2. Material shared specifically to infringe someone else's rights
3. Content meant to harass, defame, or publicly shame a rights holder, another player, or us
4. Promotion or distribution of cheats, hacks, modified files, unauthorized access tools, or similar
5. Content encouraging exploitation of bugs for unfair advantage
6. Material intended to damage the Game's reputation or disrupt its operation without justification
7. Unauthorized commercial use of Game assets or materials
8. Any other content we deem inappropriate

If a rights holder or other third party notifies us of a problem with something a player posted or shared, or if we otherwise think it necessary, we may remove, restrict, or otherwise act on the content, related features, or the player's account, without advance notice.


Feel free to report, discuss, demonstrate, or ask questions about bugs, glitches, or unexpected behavior you encounter — we welcome that feedback and don't prohibit discussing such issues in good faith.

However, you may not:

1. Use a known bug or exploit to gain an unfair advantage
2. Deliberately use a bug to disadvantage or harm other players
3. Take actions that seriously damage game balance, rankings, matchmaking, or server stability
4. Build, distribute, sell, or promote cheats, hacks, modified files, or similar tools
5. Publish specific instructions for attacking our servers, gaining unauthorized access, or reverse-engineering the Game
6. Use bug reports as cover for harassing, doxxing, or publicly shaming another player
7. Spread false claims about bugs or issues in a way that damages the Game's reputation or normal operation
8. Take any other action intended to cause us or third parties harm

Even legitimate bug discussion must stay within the bounds of applicable law, third-party rights, and the rules of whatever platform you're using to share it.


While using the Game, you agree not to:

1. Break any applicable law or act against public decency
2. Commit or encourage criminal or otherwise illegal acts
3. Harm the reputation, dignity, privacy, or interests of us, other players, or any third party
4. Attempt unauthorized access, disrupt our network, or reverse-engineer, tamper with, or modify the Game
5. Create, use, distribute, or promote cheats, unauthorized bots (aside from our official AI opponents), macros, or similar tools
6. Illegitimately obtain, alter, transfer, or sell save data, statistics, Creations of other players, or other account-linked data
7. Sell, trade, or lend your account or associated data for money or anything of value
8. Exploit bugs or unintended mechanics to gain an unfair edge or disrupt game stability
9. Interfere with other players' matches beyond what the Game's own combat and sabotage mechanics intend
10. Spam, troll, or otherwise disrupt the community with repetitive nuisance behavior
11. Spread false information, impersonate someone, commit fraud, or direct players to malicious external sites
12. Make unauthorized commercial use of the Game
13. Interfere with how we operate, secure, or manage the Game
14. Use the Game in ways we never intended
15. Engage in any other conduct we reasonably consider inappropriate


If we believe you've broken, or are likely to break, this Agreement — including in response to a third-party complaint, legal notice, or our own review — we may take any of the following actions without advance warning:

1. Issue a warning
2. Remove, edit, or hide a name, profile, comment, Creation, Custom Face, or other content
3. Restrict access to chat, voice, matchmaking, the Building Tools, map publishing, Custom Faces, or other features
4. Limit your ability to join matches
5. Adjust, reset, or remove stats, rankings, or rewards
6. Suspend your account temporarily or permanently
7. Block your access to the Game entirely
8. Share relevant information with platform operators or law enforcement where appropriate
9. Take any other action we consider necessary

Except where caused by our own intentional misconduct or gross carelessness, we are not liable for any inconvenience or loss these actions cause you.


Because UNSPELLED depends heavily on online connectivity, parts or all of the Game may be temporarily or permanently unavailable due to server issues, maintenance, outages, updates, or changes on platforms we rely on.

We may pause, interrupt, adjust, or shut down any part of the Game without prior notice, as circumstances require.

We do not guarantee constant uptime, uninterrupted matchmaking, flawless voice or text communication, permanent data storage, or that our servers will run indefinitely.


We regularly update the Game to fix bugs, adjust balance, improve anti-cheat systems, add or remove features, or for other operational reasons.

These updates may change combat mechanics, limb and name interactions, maps, the Building Tools, controls, visuals, and other aspects of gameplay.

Playing the Game means accepting that its content and feel may evolve over time, and that an earlier version's experience isn't guaranteed to persist.


Save files, Creations, your chosen Custom Face, match history, rankings, achievements, and other Game data may be lost, corrupted, altered, or reset due to hardware issues, server problems, platform changes, connectivity issues, updates, or bugs.

Where the Game stores copies of your data in Steam Cloud, that storage is provided by Valve and is subject to its own limits and availability. Syncing between computers may be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable, and when the same Creation is changed on two computers, the most recent version may replace the other.

We cannot guarantee that your data will always be preserved, complete, or recoverable.

Where necessary — for example, due to a rules violation, bug fix, or operational need — we may correct, remove, reset, or limit access to your data.


UNSPELLED is sold as a single upfront purchase. At the time this Agreement takes effect, there are no additional in-game purchases available.

We may introduce paid downloadable content, cosmetics, or other purchasable items in the future. If we do, this Article will govern those purchases as well, and we'll aim to give reasonable notice through the Game or its store page beforehand.

Any purchase you make — now or in the future — is subject to the refund policy and terms of the storefront or platform you bought it through.

Unless the law or a platform's own policy says otherwise, purchases are final and cannot be refunded, exchanged, or converted to cash.

We may adjust the availability, price, or content of anything purchasable for operational or balance-related reasons.


To operate, secure, improve, and support the Game — including handling support requests, investigating problems, and enforcing this Agreement — we may collect and store certain information about you.

This can include device and account identifiers, match history, error logs, communication records (including voice clips submitted as part of a report), content you've created in-game (including Creations and the creator name and identifier attached to published maps), purchase records, and details from any support requests you send us.

Custom Face pictures are passed between players' devices during online play so they can be shown on characters. We do not collect or store them on our servers.


We don't promise that the Game will be complete, accurate, secure, uninterrupted, bug-free, fit for any particular purpose, or free of third-party rights conflicts.

To the fullest extent the law allows, and except where our own intentional misconduct or gross carelessness is responsible, we are not liable for damages, disputes, lost data, missed opportunities, network or hardware failures, conflicts between players, third-party claims, or any other harm connected to your use — or inability to use — the Game.

If a dispute with a third party arises from content you created, posted, shared, or distributed through the Game, resolving it is your responsibility, at your own expense.

You use the Game at your own risk, and any dispute you have with a third party because of that use is yours to resolve.


If your violation of this Agreement, or your use of the Game, causes us or a third party to suffer loss, damages, expenses, or a legal claim, you agree to resolve the matter yourself and reimburse us for any resulting damages, costs, and legal fees.


We may modify, pause, or permanently shut down all or part of the Game at any time, for business, technical, legal, or other reasons, without advance notice.

If that happens, features like online play, matchmaking, leaderboards, saved content, map sharing, or data syncing may stop working.

Except where our own intentional misconduct or gross carelessness caused it, we are not liable for any resulting loss or inconvenience.


We may revise this Agreement whenever needed.

Any revised version takes effect once we publish or announce it through the Game, our website, our store page, or another appropriate channel.

Continuing to play after a revision takes effect means you accept the updated terms.


This Agreement is governed by the laws of India.

Any dispute connected to the Game or this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located where Zync Studios is registered or headquartered in India.


Send questions, bug reports, or other inquiries through the contact channel we designate for that purpose.

We aren't obligated to reply to every message, and we decide the content, timing, and manner of any response at our own discretion.
