Terms of Service

Please read these terms carefully before using Pick Legends

Last updated: March 1, 2025

Welcome to Pick Legends, a platform dedicated to showcasing exceptional interactive fiction experiences. These terms of service outline the relationship between you and Pick Legends when using our website, services, and community features.

We've written these terms to be as straightforward as possible while protecting both your rights and ours. Interactive fiction thrives on mutual respect between creators, curators, and players, and these terms reflect that collaborative spirit.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Pick Legends, you agree to be bound by these terms of service and our privacy policy. If you disagree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use of our platform.

These terms apply to all users of Pick Legends, including casual browsers, registered members, and anyone who interacts with our content or community features. Creating an account indicates your acceptance of these terms.

You must be at least 13 years old to use Pick Legends. If you're between 13 and 18, you should review these terms with a parent or guardian before using our services.

User Responsibilities

You're responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Choose a strong password and don't share your login information with others.

When participating in community features like reviews or comments, maintain respectful discourse focused on interactive fiction experiences. Harassment, spam, or content unrelated to our platform's purpose may result in account restrictions.

Don't attempt to circumvent technical measures we've implemented for security or content access. This includes activities like scraping our database, attempting unauthorized access to user accounts, or manipulating our recommendation systems.

Provide accurate information when creating your account or communicating with our support team. False information makes it difficult for us to provide appropriate assistance when needed.

Intellectual Property

Pick Legends serves as a discovery platform for interactive fiction created by independent developers and publishers. All featured games, stories, characters, and related content remain the intellectual property of their respective creators.

Our platform's original content, including reviews, curation notes, and editorial features, is owned by Pick Legends. You may reference this content for personal or educational purposes but cannot reproduce substantial portions for commercial use without permission.

User-generated content like reviews, ratings, and comments becomes part of our platform while remaining your intellectual property. By posting this content, you grant Pick Legends permission to display, distribute, and moderate it as part of our services.

If you believe any content on Pick Legends infringes your intellectual property rights, contact us with specific details about the infringement. We take these matters seriously and will investigate legitimate claims promptly.

Platform Access

Pick Legends provides our platform "as is" without guarantees of constant availability or error-free operation. We strive to maintain reliable service but may occasionally need to restrict access for maintenance, updates, or technical issues.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of our services with reasonable notice to users. This includes changes to features, content availability, or access requirements based on evolving technical or business needs.

Links to external game stores and creator websites are provided for convenience but are not under our control. These third-party sites have their own terms of service and privacy policies that govern your interactions with them.

We may implement usage limits or access restrictions to maintain platform performance and prevent abuse. These measures will be applied fairly and with consideration for legitimate user needs.

Termination

You may terminate your Pick Legends account at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. Account deletion will remove your personal information according to our privacy policy retention schedules.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms of service, engage in abusive behavior, or pose security risks to our platform or community. We'll provide notice when possible and work with users to resolve issues before resorting to termination.

Termination doesn't affect rights and obligations that by their nature should survive, including intellectual property rights, data retention policies, and dispute resolution procedures.

Limitations of Liability

Pick Legends serves as a discovery platform and is not responsible for the content, quality, or availability of featured interactive fiction. Our reviews and recommendations represent opinions based on our experience with these works.

We cannot guarantee that linked games or stories will meet your specific preferences or technical requirements. Purchasing decisions should be based on your own research and the information provided by creators and publishers.

To the extent permitted by law, Pick Legends limits liability for indirect damages, lost profits, or consequential losses related to your use of our platform. Our total liability cannot exceed the amount you've paid us for services, if any.

These limitations don't affect statutory rights that cannot be waived under applicable law, and we remain fully liable for damages caused by our gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes related to these terms or your use of Pick Legends will be resolved in California courts.

We encourage resolving disputes through direct communication before pursuing formal legal action. Contact our support team to discuss any concerns or disagreements about our services or policies.

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect. We may update these terms to reflect legal changes while maintaining their essential spirit and purpose.

Updates to These Terms

We may update these terms of service to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or community standards. Significant changes will be communicated through email notifications and prominent notices on our website.

Continued use of Pick Legends after term updates indicates your acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with changes, please discontinue use of our platform and contact us about account closure if desired.

We'll maintain previous versions of these terms for reference and will clearly indicate what changes were made and when they take effect.
