Battle Bridge - Terms of Service

Version 2.3 - Effective 18 October 2026 Last updated: 18 October 2026

These Terms are a binding agreement between you and Battle Bridge ("Battle Bridge", "we", "us") - an independently operated project run from Australia by a sole developer - governing your use of the Battle Bridge virtual tabletop at play.battle-bridge.com.

Privacy is covered separately in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

1. Accepting these Terms

By using Battle Bridge you agree to these Terms - including if you use it without an account. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

We ask you to confirm acceptance the first time you use the Service, and again if we make material changes.

If you are using Battle Bridge on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind that organisation.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under the age of digital consent where you live (13–16 in the EEA), a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you.

You must not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law or sanctions.

3. The Service

Battle Bridge is a browser-based virtual tabletop for running tabletop roleplaying sessions: maps, tokens, fog of war, dice, initiative tracking, and real-time multiplayer.

We provide the Service "as is" and may change or discontinue features. We will give reasonable notice of material changes that remove functionality you have paid for.

Battle Bridge is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Wizards of the Coast, Hasbro, or any publisher of any tabletop roleplaying game. All third-party trademarks belong to their owners.

4. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us promptly at service@battle-bridge.com if you suspect unauthorised access.

Do not share accounts, impersonate others, or register on someone else's behalf without permission.

5. Pro - one-time purchase

5.1 What it is

Pro is a one-time purchase of AUD $24.98, not a subscription. There is no recurring charge and nothing to cancel.

5.2 What you get

Cloud save slots, uploads of your own map and token images (150 MB, shared between them), and marketplace publishing, as described on the pricing page at the time of purchase.

5.3 Payment

Payments are processed by PayPal. We never receive your card details. Prices are in Australian dollars and include any applicable GST. Your bank may apply its own currency conversion.

5.4 Refunds and your statutory rights

Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under mandatory consumer law.

• Australia: Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
• EU / UK: You have a 14-day right of withdrawal for digital services. By purchasing and accessing Pro immediately, you request that we begin supply during the withdrawal period and acknowledge you lose the right of withdrawal once the service is fully supplied. Where it is not fully supplied, you may withdraw and receive a proportionate refund.
• Elsewhere: we offer a 14-day refund on request if Pro is not what you expected.

To request a refund, contact service@battle-bridge.com.

5.5 If the Service closes down

If we discontinue Battle Bridge entirely, we will give at least 90 days' notice, during which you can export your data. We will consider pro-rata refunds for recent Pro purchases.

6. Your content

6.1 You own it

You keep all rights to the maps, tokens, campaigns and other content you create or upload. We claim no ownership. This does not cover the built-in library (see 6.6): using a library map in your game does not make it yours.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, reproduce and transmit your content solely to operate the Service for you - for example, storing a saved session so you can reload it, or transmitting your map to players you have invited. This licence ends when you delete the content, except for backups already made, which age out normally.

If you publish to the marketplace, you additionally grant other users the right to download and use that content within Battle Bridge. You can remove a marketplace entry at any time, but copies already downloaded remain with those users.

Uploaded images are linked, not copied. Saves, campaign files and marketplace listings contain the address of an uploaded map or token image, not the image itself. So if you delete an uploaded image, or your account:

• any marketplace listing that uses that image is removed, including listings by other creators built on it. We show you the affected listings before you confirm;
• everyone else's copies keep their game data but lose that image, and show that it was removed by the person who uploaded it.

If your own listing uses an image someone else uploaded, it will be removed if they delete that image or their account.

We do not use your content to train AI models.

6.2 You are responsible for it

You confirm you have the rights to everything you upload. Do not upload copyrighted maps, artwork or text you do not have permission to use.

Images must be uploaded to Battle Bridge, or come from its built-in library. The Service does not display images linked from other websites, and such links in saves or files are ignored.

6.3 Prohibited content and conduct

Do not upload, share or transmit:

• Content that infringes copyright, trademark or other rights;
• Sexual content involving minors, or any content sexualising minors - this is reported to authorities without exception;
• Content that harasses, threatens, defames or incites violence against real people;
• Malware, or content designed to disrupt the Service;
• Content unlawful where you or your players are located.

Do not attempt to breach, probe or overload the Service, circumvent rate limits or access controls, scrape it, or resell access to it.

Tabletop roleplaying involves fictional conflict. Fictional in-game violence is fine. These rules concern real-world harm.

6.4 Enforcement

We may remove content or suspend accounts that breach these Terms. Where practical we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond. You may appeal to service@battle-bridge.com. Serious or repeated breaches may lead to permanent termination without refund.

6.5 Copyright complaints

If you believe content on Battle Bridge infringes your copyright, contact service@battle-bridge.com with: identification of the work, the location of the content, your contact details, a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorised, and a statement that your notice is accurate. We will investigate and remove infringing content promptly.

6.6 The built-in map library

The battlemaps in Battle Bridge's built-in library are by Tom Cartos (tomcartos.com), credited to him as cartographer, and are used under Tom's Open Map License (tomcartos.com/toms-open-map-license). They are his work, not ours and not yours.

Library maps are included free for every user, with or without an account or Pro. Pro never unlocks maps.

You may use library maps in games you run on Battle Bridge, including in the saves, campaign files and marketplace listings you make with it. Those hold only a reference to the library map, and a listing or campaign that uses one does not make the map part of your content.

You may not:

• download, extract or copy library maps out of Battle Bridge to sell, redistribute or publish them anywhere else;
• remove, crop out or obscure the Tom Cartos watermark;
• present a library map as your own work, or sell access to it;
• use library maps to train AI models.

If you want to use Tom Cartos maps in your own products outside Battle Bridge, get them from tomcartos.com and follow Tom's Open Map License or his commercial licence yourself. Using them in Battle Bridge does not give you those rights.

The built-in tokens and assets are likewise provided for use within Battle Bridge only, on the same terms.

We may remove or replace library maps, for example if a licence changes. A save or listing that used a removed map keeps its game data but no longer shows that map.

7. Multiplayer sessions

When you host a session, you decide who joins. Session join codes are randomly generated - treat them like passwords and do not broadcast them publicly (for example on stream).

Live session content travels directly between the DM's and the players' browsers and is not recorded or stored by us; this means participants can see each other's IP address (see the Privacy Policy, section 3.3). Your account username is shown to the DM when you ask to join.

You are responsible for the conduct of sessions you host. We are not responsible for what other participants do or say.

8. Availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The Service may be unavailable for maintenance, updates, or reasons outside our control including failures at our infrastructure providers.

Keep your own backups. You can export any session to a file at any time, and we strongly recommend you do so for campaigns that matter to you. Exported files link to uploaded images rather than containing them, so keep your own copies of any images you upload.

9. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and except for guarantees that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data will never be lost.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and except for liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including under the Australian Consumer Law, and including death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud):

• We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or disrupted game sessions.
• Our total aggregate liability is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) AUD $50.

Where consumer law gives you guarantees that cannot be excluded, our liability for breach is limited, at our option, to re-supplying the service or paying the cost of re-supply.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms - except to the extent the claim arises from our own breach or negligence.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time, from Account → Settings in the app (see §8 of the Privacy Policy for what that removes, including marketplace listings that use your uploads).

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, or if required by law. Where reasonable we will give notice and an opportunity to fix the problem.

On termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections 6.1 (licence, as limited), 9, 10, 11 and 14 survive.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. For material changes we will give at least 30 days' notice in the app or by email, and ask you to accept the new Terms. Continuing to use the Service after they take effect means you accept them. If you do not accept, you may stop using the Service and request a refund of any unused Pro purchase made in the previous 30 days.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Australia, and the courts there have non-exclusive jurisdiction.

This does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-law provisions of the country where you live, and if you are a consumer in the EEA or UK you may bring proceedings in your local courts.

Before starting formal proceedings, please contact service@battle-bridge.com - most issues are resolved quickly.

15. General

• Severability: if any provision is unenforceable, the rest stands.
• No waiver: not enforcing a right does not waive it.
• Assignment: you may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger or sale, on notice to you.
• Entire agreement: these Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us regarding the Service.
