Terms of service

Effective November 7, 2026

Eric's Games is a free hobby site run by Eric Scott ("Eric's Games", "we" or "us"). By using it, sending feedback through it, or signing in, you agree to these terms. Our privacy policy explains what the site keeps about you. Each game has its own terms for playing it.

Using the site

• The site is free. There are no purchases, ads or subscriptions.
• Be decent. Don't send spam, abuse, threats or anything unlawful, and don't try to break, overload or get around the site's limits.
• We may block anyone, or delete anything sent to us, for not following these terms.

Your feedback and ideas

This section covers anything you send through the feedback form: bug reports, feature requests, ideas for the games or for new games, text, screenshots, files and anything else ("submissions"). Please read it before sending an idea you care about.

• Submissions aren't confidential. Don't send anything you want kept secret, or that you aren't free to give away.
• What you submit becomes ours. As far as the law allows, you transfer to Eric's Games all rights in your submission, including any copyright in it. Where a right can't be transferred, you give Eric's Games a permanent, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence, which we may pass on to others, to use, copy, change, combine, build on, publish, sell and otherwise exploit your submission and anything made from it, in any way and in any medium, now known or later invented. As far as the law allows, you also waive any "moral rights" in it, such as the right to be named or to object to changes.
• No payment, credit or obligation. We don't owe you anything for a submission, including payment, credit, royalties or a reply, even if we use it in a game or a new game, and even if that game makes money. We're free to use, change, ignore or delete any submission.
• We may already have the idea. We get lots of ideas and come up with our own. If something like your idea shows up in a game, that doesn't mean it came from your submission, and it doesn't give you any claim to that game.
• It's yours to send. You confirm that you made your submission or have the right to give it to us on these terms, and that it doesn't include anyone else's personal information or break anyone else's rights.
• Your contact details are different. What you put in the "how to reach you" box isn't part of your submission for the purposes above. We use it only to reply to you, as our privacy policy says, and never publish it.

Accounts

• Accounts are invite-only and are for helping run the site. Keep your Google account secure: anyone who can sign in to it can use your account here.
• We may change or delete accounts at any time, for example when an invite is no longer needed.

The site and the games

• The site, the games, their art and their code belong to their makers. You may share links to them and post screenshots or videos of the games.
• It's all a work in progress. Pages and games change often, and may be offline or reset at any time.

No warranty

The site is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. As far as the law allows, its makers aren't liable for any loss or damage from using it, or from not being able to use it.

Changes

We may update these terms. If we do, we'll change this page and its date. Using the site or sending feedback after a change means you accept the new terms. A change applies to submissions sent after it.
