Terms of Service
Last updated 13 August 2026
These terms cover your use of Critsmith. By creating an account you agree to them, and to our Privacy Policy.
1. Who we are
Critsmith ("we", "us", "our") is a UK-based service for planning and running tabletop role-playing campaigns. It is currently operated by its founder ahead of formal incorporation as [Critsmith Ltd — company registration number and registered address to be added once formed]. You can contact us at [support email to be added].
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Critsmith (16 if you are in the EEA or California). We ask for your birth month and year at signup solely to check this — we do not ask for a full date of birth. Giving false information about your age is a breach of these terms and grounds for account deletion. If you do not meet the minimum age for your location, please do not create an account.
3. Your account
Keep your login details secure and tell us if you think someone else has access to your account. You're responsible for activity that happens under your account, except where the law says otherwise.
4. Subscriptions and payment
The free tier lets you run one campaign at no cost, with no card required. Paid tiers unlock additional campaigns and features for a recurring fee shown to you before you subscribe, billed through Stripe. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel; you can cancel at any time from your account settings, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period you've already paid for. We don't offer partial refunds for unused time, except where the law requires it.
5. Free tier and advertising
We intend to fund part of the free tier through advertising shown on certain pages inside the signed-in product. Our public pages, including this one, carry no advertising. See our Privacy Policy for how that works, including how under-18 users are treated differently.
6. Your content
You own the campaigns, characters and other material you create ("Your Content"). You grant us the licence we need to store, process and display it back to you — and, where you choose to share it, such as inviting a player into a campaign or sharing a live combat encounter — to those you share it with, solely to operate Critsmith. You're responsible for having the rights to anything you upload.
7. Community library
Content you submit to the shared community library (NPCs, encounters, puzzles) is reviewed before it's published. By submitting, you grant other users a licence to view and use it within their own campaigns, and you keep the right to ask us to remove it. We may remove any submission that breaches these terms.
8. Acceptable use
Don't use Critsmith for anything illegal, to harass anyone, to upload content you don't have the rights to, or to disrupt, scrape or reverse-engineer the service. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach this.
9. Game content and licensing
Critsmith uses material from the D&D 5th Edition System Reference Document (SRD), available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence — see our attributions page for the full notices. Critsmith is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Wizards of the Coast, and "Dungeons & Dragons" and related trademarks belong to their respective owners.
10. Service availability
We aim to keep Critsmith available but don't guarantee uninterrupted access, and we may change or discontinue features, giving reasonable notice where practical.
11. Termination
You can stop using Critsmith and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms. When your account is deleted, your data is removed as described in our Privacy Policy.
12. Liability
Critsmith is provided "as is." To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Nothing in these terms limits liability where the law doesn't allow it to be limited, such as for death, personal injury, or fraud.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. We'll flag material changes in the product or by email.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protections that apply in your own country of residence.
