Terms of Service

The agreement between you and us for playing Aletheia. We've kept it as plain as we can. The short version is in the box; the full terms below are what count.

Version 1 · Last updated November 2026

1. Who we are

Aletheia is made and run by Krawlic Games, a sole proprietorship based in [[STATE]], United States ("we", "us"). You can reach us at [[CONTACT_EMAIL]].

2. Agreeing to these terms

By creating an account or playing Aletheia you agree to these terms, our Rules, our Privacy Policy and, if you buy anything, our Refund Policy. If you don't agree, please don't play.

3. Who can play

You must be at least 13 years old to make an account, or at least 16 if you live in the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom. If you're under 18, please make sure a parent or guardian is happy for you to play and has read these terms with you. If we learn that an account belongs to someone younger than this, we'll close it and delete its information.

4. Your account

• Keep your password to yourself. You're responsible for what happens on your account. If you think someone else has it, change your password or contact us.
• Accounts are personal. You can't sell, give away or share yours.
• Character names must follow the Rules. We can ask you to choose a new name, or change it for you.

5. The Rules and what happens when they're broken

The Rules are part of these terms. If you break them, or these terms, we may warn you, mute you, suspend your account for a time or close it for good, depending on how serious it is. We may also take back items or coins gained by cheating, a bug or a broken rule. If you think we got it wrong, you can appeal.

6. Your character, items and coins

Aletheia, and everything in it (the world, the art, the music, the characters, the code), belongs to Krawlic Games. We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to play it, which lasts until you or we end your account.

• Your character, items, coins, levels and anything else in the game are part of the game, not your property. They have no value in real money, and we never exchange them for money.
• Buying or selling them, or accounts, for real money or anything outside the game is against the Rules.
• We may change, rebalance or remove things in the game, fix bugs (and their results), and, if something goes badly wrong, restore characters from a backup.
• If you play without an account (offline), your progress is kept only in your own browser. We can't see it or get it back.

7. Buying things

We may sell optional extras, such as a founders pack. When you buy one:

• Payment is handled by Stripe. The price, including any tax, is shown before you pay.
• What you get is part of the game, as in section 6: a licence to use it in Aletheia, tied to your account.
• Refunds follow our Refund Policy.
• If you dispute a payment with your bank (a chargeback) instead of asking us for a refund, we may remove what you bought, and may suspend the account while it's sorted out.

8. What you post

Chat messages, wiki comments, reports, bug reports, appeals and screenshots you send are yours. By posting them, you let us store, show and use them to run Aletheia (showing your wiki comment to other players, or looking at a report). Don't post anything you don't have the right to share. We can remove anything that breaks the Rules.

If you think something posted on Aletheia uses your copyrighted work without permission, email [[CONTACT_EMAIL]] with what it is, where it is and how to reach you, and we'll look into it.

9. Playing fair with the game itself

Don't attack, overload or try to break into the game, its server or other players' accounts. Don't use bots, scripts or modified clients, and don't copy or scrape the game, its data or the website in bulk. Using the hiscores and wiki like any visitor is fine.

10. Changes to the game, and the game ending

Aletheia is a game in development. We'll keep changing it, and it will sometimes be down, slow or buggy. We don't promise that it will always be available. If we ever decide to close Aletheia for good, we'll post a notice on the website and in the game at least 30 days before.

11. Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in the game's Settings, under Account. That deletes your character and what you've posted (see the Privacy Policy for what's kept and why). We can close an account under section 5. Sections 6, 8, 12 and 13 still apply after an account ends.

12. Disclaimers and the limits of our responsibility

Aletheia is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, as far as the law allows. To the extent the law allows, we aren't responsible for indirect or unforeseeable losses, or for lost game progress, items or coins. Our total responsibility to you for anything to do with Aletheia is limited to the larger of what you paid us in the 12 months before the problem, or US $50.

Some places don't allow these limits. If you live in one, they apply only as far as your law allows, and nothing in these terms takes away rights you have as a consumer that can't be signed away.

13. Which law applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of [[STATE]] and of the United States, and disputes go to the courts there. If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you also keep the protection of your own country's consumer laws and can bring a claim in your own courts.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When we make a change that matters, we'll raise the version number at the top, tell you in the game, and ask you to agree again before you keep playing. Small fixes (spelling, clearer wording) may not ask again.
