Terms of Use
WarGames Terms of Use Agreement
Our Privacy Policy is subject to this ToU. There are terms in the Privacy Policy that materially affect how your personal information is stored, accessed, and processed. As such, you should read our Privacy Policy in addition to this ToU.
This Terms of Use Agreement (the “ToU”) is made between WarGames (“we,” “us,” or “our”) and you, the individual choosing to use our services (“you,” or “your”). This ToU applies to all online services operated by WarGames, including our website wargames.app (the “Site”), our social media accounts, and any future WarGames online services that we develop (collectively the “Online Services”).
Acceptance of ToU
By accessing our Online Services, it is assumed that you have read this ToU and that you agree to comply and be legally bound by the terms and conditions it sets out.
Changes to ToU
From time to time, we may need to make changes to this ToU and may do so at any time. The date at the top of this ToU represents when this ToU was last revised. It is important to check this ToU from time to time to ensure that you are all up to date. By continuing to access or use our Online Services after a change has occurred, you agree to be bound by our updated ToU.
Third-Party Websites and Online Services
Our Online Services may contain links to third-party websites, or we may utilize services that are not owned or controlled by WarGames. Be aware that we have no control over and assume no responsibility for any third-party website or service's content, privacy policies, or practices.
We do not warrant the offerings of any third party and are not responsible or liable for any damage or loss caused, or alleged to be caused, by your use or reliance on content, goods, or services available through third parties. We strongly advise you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any third-party website or service you engage with.
WALLET TRANSFERS INITIATED THROUGH OUR SITE AND SUBSEQUENT SALES ARE FACILITATED AND RUN BY THIRD-PARTY ELECTRONIC WALLET PROVIDERS AND PAYMENT PROCESSORS, AND BY USING OUR SITE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND PRIVACY POLICIES FOR THESE APPLICABLE THIRD PARTIES.
Description of Our Online Services
WarGames is an innovative platform that allows users to interact with our unique algorithms to customize and experiment with generative art. All users of WarGames (the “Users”) will be able to interact with the platform, customize pieces of generative art, and download the resulting work for personal, non-commercial use. Users that connect their wallet and purchased a WarGames token via our auction hosted on Blur or in secondary markets are able to save their custom piece of generative art (the “Work”) in their queue and submit Works in their queue for consideration for inclusion in the WarGames Epic Collection and WarGames Labs Collection. We may introduce new services and features to the WarGames platform from time to time, which will also be subject to this ToU.
What are Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)?
“Non-fungible tokens” are built up of data that are then stored on the blockchain (a digital ledger). The word fungible means interchangeable or replaceable; so a token that is non-fungible is a token that can’t be replaced: it’s unique. When a person purchases that non-fungible token, they are purchasing a unique code that gives access to a particular version of the content.
What is WarGame’s Role?
WarGames provides an immersive platform allowing Users to experiment with our algorithms and customize generative art. We are not a broker, financial institute, or creditor.
Connecting to WarGames
If you want to save or submit a Work you customized, you need to follow these steps:
- To access the full functionality of the WarGames app, including to save a Work to your queue and submit Work for consideration for the WarGames Epic Collection and WarGames Labs Collections, you will need to link your wallet via MetaMask or WalletConnect. We will save your public key wallet address to our server but will never gain access to your private key. We are not liable and do not have access to these third-party accounts. For more detail on what information we store, and what rights you have, please read our Privacy Policy.
- To Connect with WarGames, you may also be required to create other third-party accounts to interact with our other Online Services, such as our social media platforms. We are not liable and do not have access to these third-party accounts.
Our Intellectual Property
Your use of the WarGames Site and Online Services does not grant or transfer you any rights, title, or interest in any of our intellectual property. You are not permitted to copy, distribute or otherwise exploit any copyrighted content that we have created and published on our Online Services or any of our trademarks or service marks such as the WarGames name, logo, domain name, and any other branding that is indicative of WarGames, without our express written permission. We may use some open source or licensed third-party content in our Online Services, for example, fonts and graphics, and we do not make any claim of ownership to such content.
WarGames’s Rights in the Works
We are excited to have you experiment with our algorithms and generate custom art as a User. We hope you enjoy the experience and the resulting Work. We put a lot of work into these algorithms and, unless we expressly state otherwise, WarGames is the exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to the results and proceeds of Works customized on the Site including all copyrights, other intellectual property rights, and exploitation rights, in perpetuity, throughout the universe, in any and all media, except as otherwise stated within this ToU.
By continuing to use the Online Services, you irrevocably and unconditionally:
- Assign, transfer, and otherwise convey to WarGames all of the results and proceeds of your contributions to the Works and all right, title, and interest in and to Works customized on the Site as well as any resulting NFT if minted, including all intellectual property rights therein, which include all registration, renewal, and reversion rights, and the right to register and sue to enforce such copyrights against infringers, alleged infringers, and potential infringers; and
- Waive all claims you may have, now or later, in any jurisdiction to “moral rights” or rights of droit moral with respect to Works customized on the Site and resulting NFTs.
Grant of License to All Users
WarGames grants to all Users a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use WarGames Online Services and to customize, download, adapt, display, and share the Works for personal, non-commercial purposes only provided WarGames is appropriately credited as the owner, and you indicate if changes have been made to the Work.
WarGames reserves the right to terminate this license at any time, for any reason.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT CUSTOMIZATION OF A WORK DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU OWN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN SUCH MATERIAL OR CONTENT AND THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE COMMERCIAL REPRODUCTION RIGHTS OR ANY OTHER RIGHTS REGARDING THE MATERIAL OR CONTENT BEYOND THE LIMITED NON-COMMERCIAL LICENSE GRANTED ABOVE. THE RESULTS AND PROCEEDS OF YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE WORKS ARE TRANSFERRED TO US IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
For purposes of clarity, you may not:
- use the Work to advertise, market, or sell any product or service;
- use the Work in any manner which would constitute or amount to an endorsement of or relationship with any particular third party, entity, product, product category, charity, political party, or service;
- use the Work in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media or content that depict or promote violence, hatred, sexual conduct, illicit drugs or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others;
- use the Work in movies, videos, or other forms of media, except solely for your own personal, non-commercial use;
- sell, distribute, or otherwise commercialize merchandise that depicts, embodies, contains, or consists of the Work;
- attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire any intellectual property rights in the Work except for the limited license granted pursuant to these this ToU; or
- otherwise use the Work for your or any third party’s commercial benefit.
Notwithstanding anything in this ToU to the contrary, you will have ownership in the legal title of the WarGames Token. The ownership in the WarGames Token, NFT and license granted in this ToU applies only as long as you continue to own title to the WarGames Token and/or NFT. If at any time you sell, trade, donate, give away, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the WarGames Token or NFT for any reason, the new owner will assume legal title in the WarGames Token/NFT and the license granted in this ToU will immediately expire, resulting in you having no further rights in or to the WarGames Token/NFT beyond the right to collect royalties on subsequent sales from the NFT (if the NFT is sold as opposed to the WarGames Token) as set forth in this ToU.

At WarGames, we hope that we can work out any complaints or differences that we may have with you respectfully and calmly. If you have any concerns about the Online Services that WarGames provides, please reach out to us to let us know. If we cannot work out our differences together, then the following mandatory binding arbitration will apply to resolve the dispute.
- Mandatory Binding Arbitration
If any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, this ToU, our Privacy Policy, or WarGame’s Online Services cannot be amicably resolved, such controversy or claim will be determined by binding arbitration rather than in a court of law. Except that mandatory binding arbitration will not apply with respect to any claims relating to infringement or misuse of intellectual property.
The binding arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and administered by the AAA. Arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration with the AAA within one (1) year after the claim occurs or within one (1) year of the party asserting the claim and becoming reasonably aware of the act or omission giving rise to the claim. If applicable law prohibits a one-year statute of limitations for asserting claims, claims must be asserted within the shortest period of time permitted by the applicable law. If an arbitrator determines a claim to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse WarGames for all fees associated with the arbitration, including attorneys’ fees and arbitration costs.
- Class Action Waiver
You agree to waive any right to participate in a class or representative action or proceeding and warrant that any claims brought against WarGames will be initiated only in your individual capacity.

If any term or condition in this ToU or Privacy Policy is declared to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, for any reason, the remainder of the provisions will remain in effect and will be enforceable to the fullest extent possible.
