Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Glimbo (“Glimbo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and govern your access to and use of the Glimbo Discord bot, the Glimbo web app at glimbo.app, and any associated features (collectively, the “Service”).

By installing Glimbo to a Discord server, signing in to the Glimbo web app, or interacting with the Service in any other way, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You must meet Discord’s minimum age requirement to use Glimbo. That is at least 13 years old, or 16 years old if you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or any jurisdiction where 16 is the minimum age for online services. If you are between the minimum age and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, your parent or legal guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf.

Glimbo features that involve depicting users on cards (see Section 9) are restricted to users who have explicitly opted in. Glimbo does not knowingly generate cards depicting users under the age of 13, and we take steps to remove such content promptly if identified.

If you are using Glimbo on behalf of an organization (for example, as a Discord server admin or representative of a community), you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Glimbo is a Discord-connected collectible card game. The Service generates stylized digital trading cards inspired by the activity, members, and lore of Discord servers where Glimbo is installed, and provides web features for collectors to view, trade, and showcase those cards.

Core Service features include, without limitation:

• Daily and pack-based card pulls (the “Pull System”)
• An in-game marketplace for trading cards (the “Market”)
• Card battles between collectors (the “Clash System”)
• Public collector profiles and per-server collection pages
• An in-game currency (“Glimbux”) and an in-game shop offering cosmetic items
• Optional subscription tiers offering enhanced features

The Service is provided “as is.” We may add, modify, suspend, or remove features at any time, with or without notice, subject to your other rights under these Terms and applicable law.

Glimbo authenticates users via Discord OAuth. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Discord account credentials and for all activity that occurs through your Discord account’s use of the Service.

You agree to notify us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorized access to your Glimbo data. Glimbo is not liable for losses or damages arising from your failure to safeguard your Discord credentials.

You retain ownership of any original content you submit to Glimbo (for example, custom card names you submit, profile bios you author, or images you upload as reference material under Section 9.2). By submitting such content, you grant Glimbo a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to host, display, and use the content as necessary to operate the Service.

You agree NOT to use the Service to:

• Harass, harm, threaten, stalk, or impersonate any person;
• Generate sexual, sexually-suggestive, or NSFW content depicting any real person;
• Generate content depicting any person known to be under 18 in a sexualized, exploitative, or otherwise harmful manner;
• Defame, libel, or maliciously misrepresent any person;
• Infringe any intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party;
• Manipulate, exploit, or abuse the in-game economy, including through automated tools, market manipulation, or fraudulent transactions;
• Bypass content moderation, privacy settings, opt-out signals, or other safety features;
• Engage in any activity that violates Discord’s Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, or Developer Policy;
• Use the Service in any way that violates applicable law in your jurisdiction.

We may, at our sole discretion, remove content, suspend accounts, or terminate access for any conduct we believe violates these Terms or harms our users or the Service.

Glimbux are a virtual, in-game currency used solely within the Service. Glimbux have no monetary value outside the Service, cannot be redeemed for cash, and are not convertible to any real-world currency, cryptocurrency, or other tangible property. Glimbux are not personal property and you do not own them; you receive a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use them within the Service.

Purchases of Glimbux, subscriptions, or other paid features are final and non-refundable, except as required by applicable law. We may offer refunds at our sole discretion (for example, in cases of accidental purchase reported within 7 days).

We may, at our sole discretion, adjust Glimbux balances, prices, drop rates, shop inventory, or any other aspect of the in-game economy to maintain balance, prevent abuse, or improve the Service. We may forfeit Glimbux earned through cheating, exploit, or violation of these Terms.

If your account is terminated, your Glimbux balance and any items purchased with Glimbux are forfeited.

We may offer optional paid subscriptions (collectively, “Subscriptions”) that unlock enhanced features. By subscribing, you authorize us (and our payment processors, including Discord) to charge the applicable fee to your selected payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.

You may cancel a Subscription at any time through your account settings or through Discord’s subscription management interface. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access to the subscribed features until then.

Subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable consumer protection law (for example, EU statutory cooling-off rights). If we materially change the features included in a Subscription, we will provide reasonable notice and you may cancel without penalty.

Any fee paid by any user of the Service — including subscriptions, Glimbux purchases, and any other charges — is consideration for the Glimbo software service and associated game features. No portion of any fee is attributable to, allocated to, or compensation for the depiction of any specific user. Members opt in to participation as card subjects voluntarily and without consideration, and may withdraw at any time pursuant to Section 9.

9.1 Scope

This section governs how Glimbo may use your Discord avatar (your “likeness”), your Discord username and display name, and public content you contribute (such as messages in servers where Glimbo is installed and you have opted in).

9.2 License grant — only if and as long as you opt in

By enabling the “Include me as a card subject” setting in your Glimbo profile (off by default), you grant Glimbo a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable (only to our service providers as needed to operate the Service), revocable license to:

• create, store, display, and distribute stylized artistic depictions of you within the Service;
• use your Discord username and display name in card metadata and on cards where you are the subject;
• where you have separately enabled “Use my messages as card lore context,” process your public messages within Glimbo-installed servers, in aggregate, to generate flavor text and descriptions, without verbatim quotation.

9.3 What this license does NOT include

• Glimbo will not generate photorealistic depictions of you. All depictions are heavily stylized artistic interpretations.
• Glimbo will not use your likeness for endorsements, third-party advertisements, commercial merchandise outside the Service, or any non-Service purpose without your separate written consent.
• Glimbo will not sell, license, or otherwise transfer your likeness or any card depicting you to any third party (other than within in-game trading between users of the Service).
• No portion of any fee paid by any Glimbo user constitutes payment to Glimbo or any third party for the use of any individual’s likeness (see Section 8).

9.4 Revocation

You may revoke this license at any time by:

• toggling off “Include me as a card subject” in your profile settings (stops new cards going forward); or
• submitting a deletion request via your profile or by emailing [email protected] (removes cards depicting you from public-facing surfaces within 7 days).

Revocation does not invalidate cards already generated and traded between users prior to revocation, but Glimbo will scrub such cards from public display upon your request and will not generate new cards depicting you.

9.5 Your representations

By opting in, you represent and warrant that:

• you are at least 13 years of age (16 if in the EEA / UK);
• you have authority to grant the license described in Section 9.2;
• you have read and understand this Section 9 and our Privacy Policy.

9.6 Glimbo’s commitments

• Maintain automated and human-review content moderation systems intended to prevent the generation of sexually explicit, defamatory, harassing, or otherwise harmful depictions;
• Honor takedown requests for cards depicting you within 7 days of receipt;
• Provide one-click revocation, without penalty or fee;
• Maintain timestamped records of your opt-in for legal compliance purposes;
• Implement a per-output similarity check designed to reject AI outputs that too closely replicate any individual’s actual appearance.

9.7 Minors and parental consent

If you are between 13 and 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), your parent or legal guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf. Cards depicting users under 18 will not be: (a) sold or traded for in-game currency, (b) displayed in promotional materials, or (c) otherwise commercially exploited beyond standard Service functionality. Glimbo reserves the right to suspend likeness-related features for any account it reasonably believes belongs to a minor without verified parental consent.

9.8 Reporting

If you believe a card depicting you violates these Terms or harms you, you may report it via the “Report this card” link on any card page, or by emailing [email protected]. Reports are reviewed within 48 hours. Glimbo may remove content pending review.

The Glimbo name, logo, mascot art, code, and underlying systems are owned by Glimbo and protected by intellectual property laws. Card art generated by the Service is owned by Glimbo to the extent permitted by law; you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view, share within the Service, and trade your collected cards within the Service.

Where AI-generated content is involved, you acknowledge that the legal status of ownership in AI outputs is evolving. Glimbo does not represent or warrant any particular copyright status for AI-generated card art and you agree not to make external commercial use of card art generated by the Service without our prior written consent.

To submit a copyright infringement notice, contact [email protected] with the information required under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). Repeat infringers will be terminated.

The Service relies on third-party providers including Discord (authentication, bot platform), Google (Gemini AI for image and text generation), our hosting provider, Stripe (payments via Discord’s payment processor), and Cloudflare (delivery and security). Use of those third-party services through Glimbo is subject to their respective terms and policies. Glimbo is not responsible for the acts, omissions, or content of any third party.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe:

• you have violated these Terms or applicable law;
• your account has been compromised;
• continued use poses a safety, security, or legal risk to us, our users, or third parties;
• required by Discord, a regulator, or court order.

You may stop using the Service at any time. You may delete your Glimbo account from your profile settings; deletion is processed within 7 days. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5-11, 13-16) survive.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. Glimbo expressly disclaims all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, availability, and uninterrupted operation. Glimbo does not warrant that AI-generated content will be accurate, suitable, free of bias, or non-infringing.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Glimbo and its officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or use, arising out of or in connection with the Service. Glimbo’s total cumulative liability to you for all claims arising from or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid Glimbo in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Glimbo from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your violation of any third-party right (including any right of publicity, privacy, or intellectual property), your User Content, or your misuse of the Service.

California residents: You may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to deletion, and the right to opt out of sale (we do not sell personal information). See our Privacy Policy for details. To exercise these rights, email [email protected].

EEA / UK residents: You have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR, including the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection. See our Privacy Policy for details and for our EU representative contact (where applicable). The supervisory authority of the Member State of your habitual residence is the competent regulator for any complaint.

Other jurisdictions: You may have additional consumer-protection rights under your local law. Nothing in these Terms is intended to override mandatory statutory rights you have where you reside.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except where superseded by mandatory local law applicable to consumers in their place of residence.

Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its applicable rules, in San Francisco, California (or by video conference at your option if you are a consumer). You and Glimbo waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action, to the extent permitted by law. Small-claims court remains available for qualifying claims. EU and UK consumers may bring claims in their local courts as permitted by applicable law.

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by sending written notice to [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, by email to the address linked to your account or by a notice in the Service) before the changes take effect, and we will bump the consent version, requiring you to re-accept the Terms on next sign-in. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
