Terms of use

These terms apply when you use Bhayson Games (games.bhayson.com). By using the site you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Using the site

Bhayson Games is free to play for your own fun. Please don't try to break or overload the site, cheat the leaderboards, copy the site or its games in bulk, or use it to hurt anyone. We may block access if someone does.

Players and nicknames

Nicknames, scores and achievements are public. Pick a nickname that isn't rude, hateful or pretending to be someone else. We may change or remove nicknames and scores that break these rules or look like cheating.

Accounts

Signing in is optional and free. Keep your sign-in to yourself: anyone using your account or player code plays as you. Use one account per person. You can delete your account anytime on your profile; we may close accounts used to cheat, bully or abuse the site.

Chat and playing with others

Some games let you play or chat with other people. Be kind. No bullying, threats, hate, sexual talk, scams or spam, and never share personal details such as a full name, address, phone number, school or password, yours or anyone else's. If someone breaks these rules, use the Report button in the game or the flag button on the game page. We review reports, and we may remove messages, nicknames or scores and block players who break the rules.

Age

The site is meant for players 13 and older. Younger players can play with a parent's OK. Before you type a nickname or chat in a game, we ask for your birth month and year once. Players under 13 get random nicknames and preset chat messages only.

Games from other makers

Some games are made by other developers and are credited on their game page. Each maker owns their game. We check games before they go on the site, but we can't promise every game is perfect or always available.

Copyright and takedowns

We respect other people's work. If you think something on the site uses your work without permission, email hello@bhayson.com with: what the work is, where it appears on the site, your contact details, and a statement that the information is accurate and that you own the rights or act for the owner. We'll review it and take things down quickly when a claim is valid. Makers who keep breaking these rules are removed.

No guarantees

The site and its games are provided as they are. We work to keep them running, but they can have bugs, go down or change. Saves kept only in your browser can be lost if you clear it; sign in to keep a copy in your account. As far as the law allows, Bhayson Games is not responsible for indirect losses, lost data or lost progress, and our total responsibility is limited to what you paid us to use the site (which is nothing).

Ads

The site shows ads to help keep it free: our own (mostly for games on the site) and, when they're on, ads from Google. See the Privacy page for how they work and what we count.

Developer terms

These apply when you send us a game or app, with the form, the API or the publishing connector:

• It's yours to share. You made it or have the rights to everything in it (code, art, music, fonts and names), and it doesn't break anyone else's rights.
• Permission to show it. You give Bhayson Games a free, non-exclusive, worldwide permission to host, run and show your game on the site, and to use its name, pictures and short clips to promote it (for example in ads and on social media) while it's on the site. You keep ownership.
• Content rules. Fine for ages 13 and up. No malware, crypto miners or hidden tracking; no collecting players' personal data without telling them; no hateful or sexual content; no real-money gambling; no scams or misleading links.
• Review and removal. We review games before they go live and may decline or remove any game. You can ask us to take your game down at any time, and we'll do it within 7 days.
• Keys. Keep your publishing key private. We can turn off a key that's misused.
• Money. A share of ad revenue for makers is planned but not promised. Any payments would be under a separate written agreement.
• Your responsibility. You're responsible for your game. If someone makes a claim against Bhayson Games because of something in your game, you agree to help cover it.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and using the site after a change means you accept it.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Alberta and Canada.
