Terms of Service

Bazoodle Terms of Service

Effective date: October 31, 2026

Operator: BAZOODLE LLC ("Bazoodle", "we", "us"). Contact: help@bazoodle.com

The short version

Bazoodle is a free place to play and make multiplayer games at bazoodle.com. Be kind, play fair, and follow the Community Rules. You can play as a guest at any age. You need to be 13 or older to make an account. You own the games you make. You let us host and show them so other people can play. Do not cheat, harass people, share personal information (yours or anyone's), or upload things you do not have the right to use. We check games with software and respond to reports. If we reject something, we tell you why. You can fix it and send it again. Coins are play-money for the platform shop. They have no cash value and you cannot buy or sell them. Premium costs $5 a month, you can cancel any time, and the cosmetics you got with Premium stay yours. We can remove content or close accounts that break the rules. You can delete your account at any time. The service comes as it is. We do our best, but we cannot promise it will never break, and our responsibility to you is limited as described below.

The rest is the full version.

1. Agreeing to these terms

By using Bazoodle (the website, the desktop app, the Academy and everything else we run), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy and Community Rules. If you do not agree, please do not use Bazoodle. If you are under 18, please read this with a parent or guardian. If you use Bazoodle for an organization (for example, a school or club), you confirm you can agree for it.

2. Who can use Bazoodle

Guests: anyone can play as a guest. Guests see only kid-friendly games and nothing is saved. Accounts: you must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you tell us a false age, you break these Terms. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 13, we will close it and delete its data. Mature content: games rated for older players are shown only to accounts that are old enough for that rating (as set by your birth month and year). Paying: you must be an adult, or have an adult's permission and payment method, to buy Premium. If you live where the minimum age for online services is higher than 13, you must meet that age or have a parent's permission. You may not use Bazoodle if you have been banned from it, or if the law in your place forbids it.

Child profiles managed by a parent may be offered in the future. They will have their own terms for parents.

3. Your account

Give true information: birth month and year, and a username that is not your real name and is not offensive. Usernames are checked, and we can change a name that breaks the rules. Keep your sign-in safe. You are responsible for what happens on your account. Tell us at help@bazoodle.com if you think someone else has it. You can see and end your sessions in Settings. One person, one account. Do not sell, trade or give your account to others. Coins and cosmetics cannot be transferred between accounts. You can have several sign-in methods on one account (Google, Microsoft, passkeys, email link). We never merge accounts for you. You can delete your account any time in Settings > Your data. It is hidden at once and erased after a grace period of 30 days; sign in before then to undo it.

4. Your games and content

You own your games and content. You keep your rights. We own the Bazoodle name, logo, website, apps and the platform's own art, cosmetics and templates. Licence to us. When you upload or publish something (a game, image, sound, title, description, script, or other content), you give us a worldwide, free, non-exclusive licence to store, copy, transform (for example, compress, package and convert), run, display and share it as needed to operate, promote and improve Bazoodle (including showing it to players and using screenshots or clips in featured rows and marketing). This licence lasts as long as the content is on Bazoodle and for a reasonable time after to finish things in progress, like backups, cached copies and games another player already saved. If you delete your content or account, we stop showing it. Copies of a game that are running on other devices or in active sessions may stay until those sessions end. Your promises. You promise that you made your content or have the right to use it, and that it does not break anyone's rights or the Community Rules. You are responsible for your content. Do not include real names, faces, addresses, phone numbers, emails, schools or any other personal information, anyone's. Visibility. Private games are visible to you only. Unlisted and public games are checked first (see section 7). Public games can be found by everyone allowed to see their rating. No money from games. Games on Bazoodle cannot include ads, payments, links to other sites or other ways to make money. Rewards for creators are in-platform (cosmetics, XP, coins, Premium time), not cash. Feedback. If you give us ideas, we may use them freely without paying you.

5. Remixing

Remixing is off by default. A creator can turn it on for their own game. If remixing is on, anyone can copy that game's project to make their own version. If you remix, you follow whatever credit or conditions the original creator gave, you may not remove credit, and your new game must still follow these Terms and pass the same checks. Do not copy another creator's game without remix turned on. Copying to farm rewards is cheating. If a creator turns remixing off later, copies already made remain under the terms they were made under, but we may take down a copy that breaks someone's rights. Bazoodle's launch games are made by us with remixing on, as examples.

6. Rules of conduct

Follow the Community Rules. In short, you must not:

cheat, hack, exploit bugs on purpose, use bots to earn rewards, or change game files to get an unfair advantage; be mean to others, harass, threaten, bully or discriminate; use bad names or looks (including usernames, game titles and in-game creations); share personal information about yourself or others, or try to find out who someone is; try to take other players off Bazoodle or find ways around the no-chat rule (for example, by spelling messages out with in-game objects); publish illegal content, content that sexualizes children, or content that is above the rating you chose; break, attack or overload the service, access things you should not, or try to get around age checks, bans or limits; sell or trade accounts, coins or cosmetics, or run scams; use Bazoodle to infringe anyone's copyright, trademark or other rights; upload malware or harmful code (games run in a sandbox, and tampering with the sandbox is not allowed); create new accounts to avoid a ban.

Games may not use tricks to make players play longer or return in unhealthy ways (such as streaks, login rewards or countdown pressure to buy or play).

7. Moderation, strikes and appeals

Checks before publishing. Every shared (unlisted or public) game goes through automated checks: matching against lists of known child abuse images (hash matching), and AI classification for age ratings and personal information. The checks decide the rating (kid-friendly, teen or mature) or reject the game. People step in only for high-risk situations. Reports. Anyone can report a game or a player. A report to a player includes the last 2 minutes of the game replay from the reporter's side. Reports are reviewed mainly by AI. The reported player may be blocked for the reporter. Strikes and bans. Cheating or confirmed rule-breaking can lead to strikes, with steps such as losing rewards for a time, losing the ability to upload, suspension or a ban. We use the least serious step that fits. A sexual-abuse-of- children match is an immediate ban without warning, and we are required to report it. Reasons. When we reject or remove a game, we tell you which part broke which rule and what to change. Appeals. To appeal a rejected game, change the flagged content and send the game in again. The new version gets a second, more careful AI review. We do not read notes or explanations added to a submission, because they could be used to trick our checks. For a ban or suspension, you can write to help@bazoodle.com once to appeal. For a child-abuse-material match, the appeal looks only at the match details, never at the image. Our rights. We can remove content, hide games, limit features or close accounts to keep Bazoodle safe, and we do not have to host anything. We try to be fair, but we make the final decision on our own platform. Moderation may be wrong sometimes. If you think it is, use the steps above.

8. Premium

Price and billing. Premium costs $5 per month (plus any taxes), billed monthly in advance through Stripe, and it renews until you cancel. We will tell you before the price changes, and the change starts at your next renewal. Family plan. The Family plan costs $8 per month (plus any taxes) and is billed and cancelled like Premium. It is managed by one parent or guardian account, which can add up to 4 child profiles; the parent pays and controls the profiles in Settings > Parental controls. Family is not available until it launches (planned December 7, 2026); the Premium perks above apply to every profile in the plan. A parent can delete a child profile at any time. What it includes. Premium currently includes: no ads, always-on 2x XP, a Premium cosmetic set, profile flair, higher upload and game-size limits, and vanity game links. Features can change; we will not take away what you already paid for in the current month. Cancelling. Cancel any time in Settings > Premium and billing. You keep Premium until the end of the period you paid for. After that, the perks stop, but Premium cosmetics you unlocked stay yours and remain in your inventory. Refunds. Payments are not refundable, except where the law requires or at our discretion. Contact help@bazoodle.com with questions about a charge. Who pays. An adult must pay or give permission. Card details are handled by Stripe, not by us. Taxes. Prices may not include sales tax or VAT where it applies. Premium cannot be transferred or shared.

9. Coins, XP and cosmetics

Coins and XP are in-platform rewards for playing. They have no cash value, cannot be bought with real money, cannot be exchanged for money, and cannot be given or traded. You get cosmetics by playing (levels), by spending coins in the shop, by watching an optional rewarded ad, or with Premium. There is no paid currency and no paid random rewards. Coins and cosmetics are a licence to use items on your account, not property. We may adjust coin rewards, rules and prices, and remove rewards earned by cheating. We try never to take away something you earned fairly. If your account is closed for breaking the rules, you lose its coins and cosmetics.

10. Ads

Bazoodle shows ads on its pages, and optional rewarded ads. Ads are not shown inside gameplay. We are not responsible for ads or the sites they lead to. Do not click ads dishonestly or use tools to block or fake ad rewards to get rewards. If you block ads, basic play still works, but some extras that cost us money may need an ad or Premium.

11. Games made by others

Games are made by other users, not by us. We check them but cannot promise they are safe, accurate, appropriate or fun. Use the age ratings and report anything wrong. Some sessions are hosted by other players' devices or by our servers; if you host on your own device, you do so at your own risk. Downloading the desktop app or a game happens at your own risk, as described in the notices shown when you do.

12. Copyright and DMCA

We respect others' rights. We do not scan for copyright in advance; we act on reports.

To report copyright infringement, use the copyright report form, or send a notice to our designated agent. A notice needs: 1. your name, address, phone and email, and a physical or electronic signature; 2. the work you say was copied, and where the copy is on Bazoodle (the game link); 3. a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not allowed; 4. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are the owner or authorized to act.

Designated agent: BAZOODLE LLC, help@bazoodle.com. (The copyright page at /copyright shows the same details.)

Counter-notice. If your content was taken down by mistake, we tell you in your bell and you can send a counter-notice from the link there, with your contact info, a description of the content and where it was, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the removal was a mistake, and your consent to the court of your area (or, if outside the US, a US district court). We will pass it to the person who made the notice. Unless they sue within 10 business days, we may restore the content.

Repeat infringers. We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe copyright.

13. Our rights and the platform

You may not copy, reverse engineer, or resell Bazoodle (except the parts we publish as open source, under their own licences, and your own games and projects), or use automated means to scrape it, except as allowed by robots.txt or by us in writing. The desktop app and editor are licensed to you, not sold.

14. Ending things

You can stop using Bazoodle or delete your account at any time. We can suspend or close an account or remove content if you break these Terms or the Community Rules, if we must by law, if you are under the minimum age, or to protect people or Bazoodle. Where we reasonably can, we will tell you why. If we close your paid Premium for something other than your breach, we will refund the unused part of the current period. We may change or stop parts of the service, or the service itself. We will try to give notice and a way to take your games with you, where we can. After the end, the parts that make sense to continue do continue (the licence for copies already made, ownership, disclaimers, limits of liability and disputes).

15. Disclaimers

Bazoodle is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, we give no warranties of any kind, including about quality, fitness for a purpose, safety of user-made games, uptime, or that content will be available or error-free. Online games and relays can break, lag or lose progress. Do not rely on Bazoodle to keep important data; you can download yours in Settings. Some places do not allow some disclaimers, so some of this may not apply to you.

16. Limit of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law: we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, or for what other users say, make or do; our total liability to you for anything connected to Bazoodle is limited to the greater of (a) what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) $50; you are responsible for your own content, and you agree to cover us for claims and costs caused by your content or your breach of these Terms. For users under 18, this is not enforced beyond what the law allows.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law (for example, for fraud, or death or injury caused by negligence, where the law of your place says so). Consumers in some places, such as the EU and UK, have rights that cannot be waived.

17. Disputes and governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, USA, without regard to conflict of laws rules. If you live elsewhere, the mandatory consumer laws of where you live still apply. First, please email help@bazoodle.com so we can try to fix it informally. Disputes will be heard in the state and federal courts located in Tulsa County, Oklahoma, and you and we agree to those courts. Claims must be brought within one year after they arose, where the law allows such a limit.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms. For important changes, we will post a notice on the site and, for account holders, in the notification bell at least 30 days before it applies (shorter if the law or safety needs it). Using Bazoodle after the change means you accept the new Terms; if you do not agree, you can delete your account.

19. Other

If part of these Terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a rule does not mean we gave it up. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours (for example, to a new company that runs Bazoodle). These Terms and the documents they link are the whole agreement between you and us about Bazoodle.
