Terms of use

These terms are the agreement between you and Electrica, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Electrica", "we"), for using Teleplay at https://www.teleplay.ai, which turns a description of a game into a game you can play in your browser. Teleplay is a product of Electrica, Inc. By making an account, or by using Teleplay, you agree to them. The privacy policy says what we keep, why, and what you can choose; where it asks for your permission, as visitor analytics does in some countries, using Teleplay does not give it. If you don't agree to these terms, don't use Teleplay. Teleplay is not offered in the United Kingdom for now. Write to us at info@teleplay.ai.

Who can use Teleplay

• You must be at least 13. In the European Union you must be at least 16, unless a parent or guardian agrees for you.
• If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms for you.
• Teleplay is not directed at children under 13. If we learn that an account belongs to a child under 13, we delete it, with its games.
• Paid plans and promotions are for adults (18 or over): you are asked how old you are before any payment page, and the answer you give is kept as it is. Only that answer and its time are kept, never your age. Someone under 18 may not pay, on their own card or anyone else's.
• One account per person. Keep your password to yourself: you are responsible for what is done with your account. Tell us at info@teleplay.ai if you think someone else is using it.
• A username is chosen once and cannot be changed.
• A session lasts 24 hours, and then you sign in again.
• Teleplay is not offered in the United Kingdom for now. Don't use a VPN, a proxy or any other means to get around a block on where Teleplay is offered. You may not use Teleplay from a country under comprehensive United States sanctions, or if you are a person those sanctions name.

What Teleplay is

Teleplay builds game prototypes with AI. It is new: a game can fail to build, or come out different from what you described, and features can change or be withdrawn. Playing is free for everyone. Building new games needs a Pro subscription, and an account is needed for anything you make, a remix included. We may change, pause or end any part of Teleplay.

The limits

• New games take a promo code for now: a promo code gives an account the allowance it says, which is shown when the code is applied. Up to 3 chat edits per account in any 24 hours, and up to 20 game plans in any hour.
• A daily budget for each account. When yours has been spent, you can't build a new game, draw new artwork, ask for a game plan or change a game in the studio chat until some of it is more than a day old, and nothing is charged.
• A daily budget for the whole site. When it has been spent, nobody can build a new game, draw new artwork, ask for a game plan or change a game in the studio chat until the next day, and nothing is charged.
• Up to 3 password reset emails an hour for one address.
• On the Free plan, 1 studio edit (shown on the Plans page as 800 studio edit credits) a calendar month (UTC), counted only when a change you asked for is kept; a change that is refused or fails counts nothing.

We can change these limits as the site grows.

Plans and subscriptions

• Pro, at $14.99 a month, and Extreme, at $45.99 a month, are not on sale yet, so nothing can be bought on Teleplay today. The Plans page shows what each will include. Payments will be taken by Stripe; we never see or keep your card details.
• Before Pro or Extreme can be bought, this section will say how each is renewed and cancelled, and how its credits and promotions are counted.
• Right of withdrawal: if you are a consumer in the European Union, the European Economic Area, Switzerland or Türkiye, you may normally withdraw from a purchase within 14 days. When you buy a plan or a promotion, you ask us to start at once, and you agree that you lose that right for what you have already used. You tick a box saying so before you pay, and we keep a record of it with its time.
• Refunds: none for a period or a promotion you have already used, unless the law where you live says otherwise. If a payment was taken by mistake, write to info@teleplay.ai.

Remixes

• Anyone can play a public game, and anyone signed in can remix it, unless its maker has turned remixing off for that game. A remix is your own private copy, which you change in the studio. Its page says which game it was remixed from, and that credit stays with it.
• On the Free plan you can share a remix with a link but not put it on Discover. On Pro, a remix can go on Discover like your other games.
• A maker who turns remixing off stops new remixes; remixes already made stay with the people who made them, and so do they if the original game is deleted. You are responsible for what you change in a remix. Don't present someone else's game as your own work, and don't remix a game to get around a takedown.

Promotions

We sometimes offer promotions, as promo codes. A code's allowance is shown when it is applied. We may withdraw a promotion from an account if it is abused, including by using more than one account. An account, and an email address, can redeem one code. A code has no cash value, cannot be combined with another unless it says so, and can be ended by us at any time before it is redeemed.

Your games are public

A game you build appears on Discover once it is ready to play, and anyone can play it there and tune it for themselves while they play. Their changes stay with them: your game stays as you built it, and only you and the team can change it. What you typed to make it is not shown to other visitors, but the game is, so don't put anything personal or confidential into a description. The privacy policy says what is public and what is not.

What you may not do

The community guidelines say what games on Teleplay may and may not contain, how we act on them and how to ask us to look again. They are part of these terms. In short:

• Describe, build or share anything illegal, or use Teleplay for anything illegal.
• Infringe anyone's copyright, trademark or other rights, or use other people's work or likeness without the right to.
• Create anything sexual involving minors, of any kind. We remove it, close the account, and report it to the authorities where the law requires.
• Create sexually explicit content.
• Harass, threaten or demean anyone, or spread hate.
• Put real people, or anyone's personal information, into a game.
• Make malware, or anything meant to harm devices, steal data or deceive people, such as a copy of another site or product.
• Break into Teleplay or other people's accounts, get around the limits (for example with several accounts), try to get around the checks on what is built, overload the site, or collect its content automatically.
• Use the AI services behind Teleplay against their own rules: you also agree to follow Anthropic's and Microsoft's policies on the acceptable use of their AI, which apply to what is sent to them.

The team can hide a game, remove its files, or suspend an account that breaks these rules. When we do, we tell you why by email, unless the law or someone's safety stops us, and you can reply to ask us to look again.

Your content, and the licence you give us

• You own what you type and, as far as the law allows, the game made from it. We don't claim ownership of them. What AI makes may not be protected by copyright in every country, and it may not be unique: other people can get output like yours.
• So that we can run Teleplay, you give us a free, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, store, run, show and share what you type and the games you build, to adapt them to the formats Teleplay shows them in (a cover, a title, a size for each screen), to show them in Teleplay's own pages and promotion, and to keep backups. We may sublicense it only to the companies that host, store and deliver Teleplay for us, to run the service. That includes showing your public games to anyone on Discover, letting the people who play them tune them for themselves while they play, and, unless you turn it off, letting signed-in people remix them. The licence ends when the game is deleted, except for remixes others have already made and copies we must keep by law.
• Pictures drawn for a game written as code stay with that game. Artwork drawn for games made by our older engine joined Teleplay's sprite library, and you allow us, and other people's games on Teleplay, to use it. That part of the licence does not end.
• A game's artwork and sounds also come from open-licensed collections, which stay under their own licences, and each game's credits file lists where its artwork came from.
• Electrica keeps its own code, Teleplay's engine, its sprite and sound library, its site and its other assets. You have a licence to them as part of your game, for as long as the game is on Teleplay.
• You may play other people's public games on Teleplay, and tune them for yourself while you play. These terms give you no other rights in them.
• You promise that what you put into Teleplay does not infringe anyone's rights, and you are responsible if it does.
• Whether something made with AI can be owned, and by whom, depends on the law where you are. We make no promise about it.
• If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.

What AI makes

Games, and everything else Teleplay makes, are produced by AI. The AI may write a game's code itself, the whole game or a part of it. That code runs only inside the game's sealed frame, with no access to your account, cookies or the network, and it is checked before the game is published. They can be wrong, broken or unexpected, or resemble other people's work. You are responsible for how you use them. We don't promise that anything Teleplay makes is accurate, original or fit for a purpose.

Copyright and takedown

If you believe something on Teleplay infringes your copyright or other rights, write to info@teleplay.ai with: your name and how to reach you; the work you say is infringed; the address on Teleplay of the material; a statement that you believe in good faith its use is not authorized by the owner, its agent or the law; a statement that your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature. We review each notice within a reasonable time and remove the material when that is warranted, and we tell the person who posted it.

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same address with: your name, address and telephone number; the material and where it was before it was removed; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, outside the United States, any district where we may be found) and to accept service from the person who sent the notice; and your signature. We pass it on to that person, and unless they tell us within 10 to 14 business days that they have gone to court, we may put the material back.

We close the accounts of people who infringe again and again. Our designated agent under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act is Electrica, Inc., [address to be added], info@teleplay.ai. Complaints about trademarks or the use of someone's likeness go to the same address.

Reporting illegal content, and our decisions

Anyone can tell us about content on Teleplay they believe is illegal or breaks these terms, by writing to info@teleplay.ai with the game's address and why. This address is also our point of contact for authorities and for users under the European Union's Digital Services Act; we read English and Turkish. We look at each notice, act on it when that is warranted, and tell the person who sent it what we decided. When we remove a game or limit an account, we tell its owner why, as the guidelines say, and they can ask us to look again.

Ending

You can stop using Teleplay at any time. To have your account and games deleted, write to info@teleplay.ai. We may suspend or close an account, or remove content, that breaks these terms or the law, or that puts other people or Teleplay at risk. The parts of these terms that by their nature should last, such as the licence for the sprite library, the disclaimers, the limits of liability and the governing law, continue after an account ends.

No warranty

TELEPLAY IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS. We don't promise that Teleplay will always be available, secure or free of errors, or that a game will work as you hoped.

Limits of our liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, NEITHER ELECTRICA NOR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO TELEPLAY OR THESE TERMS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO TELEPLAY OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US$100) AND THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited, such as liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

If you break these terms or the law, or something you put into Teleplay infringes someone's rights, and a claim is made against us because of it, you will cover our reasonable costs and losses from that claim, to the extent the law allows.

The law, and how disputes are settled

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and by United States federal law where it applies, without regard to rules that would apply another place's law. Before starting any claim, write to us at info@teleplay.ai so that we can try to settle it; most things can be.

If you live in the United States:

• You and Electrica agree that any dispute arising from or related to these terms or Teleplay is decided by binding individual arbitration, not in court, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The hearing takes place in the county where you live, or by video or in writing if you prefer. We pay the arbitration fees those rules put on a business.
• Claims are brought only on an individual basis: not as a plaintiff or class member in a class, collective or representative action, and an arbitrator may not combine more than one person's claims.
• Either of us may instead bring a claim in small claims court, if it qualifies there.
• Either of us may go to court for claims about intellectual property (copyright, trademarks, trade secrets or patents), or to ask for an injunction to stop misuse of Teleplay, without arbitration.
• If 25 or more people bring similar claims against us represented by the same people or organisation, the claims are sent to arbitration in batches of up to 25, one batch at a time, and the result of the earlier batches may be used to try to settle the rest; nobody's time limits run out while they wait.
• You can opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first agreeing to these terms, by emailing info@teleplay.ai from your account's address with your username and a clear statement that you opt out. If you do, disputes go to the state or federal courts in Delaware, and the rest of these terms still apply.
• If we change this section, the change does not apply to a dispute we already knew about, and you can reject it by writing to us within 30 days of the change.

If you live in the European Union, the European Economic Area, Switzerland or Türkiye: nothing in these terms takes away the protections the law of the country where you live gives you as a consumer and that cannot be set aside by agreement. You may bring a claim in the courts of the country where you live, and the arbitration agreement above does not apply to you. Everywhere else, disputes go to the state or federal courts in Delaware, subject to any mandatory rights you have as a consumer under the law of the country where you live.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We post the new version here with its date, and if a change matters, we tell you in advance by email or on the site. If you keep using Teleplay after a change takes effect, the new terms apply. If you don't agree, stop using Teleplay and ask us to delete your account.

The rest

These terms, the community guidelines and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and us about Teleplay. If a part of them cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a part, we don't give it up. We may transfer these terms to a company that takes over Teleplay; you may not transfer them without our agreement. We may write to you by email, and that counts as writing.
