Terms of Service
1. What this is
Agent World ("the Game", "we") is an online game in your browser, at play.theworldofagents.com, where you live in a small simulated village. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are the agreement between you and us, the people who run the Game. You accept them, together with the Privacy Policy, when the sign-up screen asks you to. Playing as a guest is covered by them too.
2. Who may use the Game
You must be 16 or older to create an account; you confirm this with a tick box when you sign up. You may also play as a guest without an account. A guest world is stored on our server and tied to a token kept in your browser; if you clear that browser's data before you sign in, you cannot reach the world again.
3. Your account
- You sign in with your Google account. We never ask for a password.
- Keep your Google account secure. Anything done through your sign-in is treated as yours.
- One person, one account. Do not share an account or sell it.
- In the Account screen you can sign out, remove a device or delete your account at any time (the Privacy Policy says what deletion removes).
4. Closed beta
The Game is in a closed beta. Starting a world needs an invite code, which the team hands out. During the beta the Game can change and worlds can be reset between beta waves, so we cannot promise that your world will survive the beta.
5. How you may use the Game
Do not: break the law; harass, threaten or discriminate against others; write content that is sexual involving minors, or that glorifies self-harm or serious violence against real people; try to break, overload, probe or reverse-engineer the service; use bots or scripts to play for you or to get around limits; try to make the AI characters produce content we filter out; or impersonate another person. The names you choose and the text you write (whispers, dialogue) pass through a content filter. We may block, remove or edit content, and may suspend access for serious or repeated breaches.
6. AI characters and generated text
The people in the village are driven by software, and their speech and thoughts may be written by an AI language model. It can be wrong, odd or offensive despite our filters. The Report control on such a line hides it for you and keeps it so that a person can review it. It is entertainment, not advice of any kind. Text you write to the characters can be sent to the AI model provider to generate their answers (see the Privacy Policy). AI answers are limited per world each day and can stop altogether, for example when the provider is down; the characters then answer with ready-made lines.
7. Your content and our content
You keep the rights to the text you write. You give us a licence to store, process, display and filter it as needed to run the Game for you, including sending it to the AI model that answers you and keeping it in your Chronicle. You can export your Chronicle from the game (Chronicle → Share). The Game, its art, code and world rules belong to us or to our licensors; third-party and AI-made art, and the font, are credited on the Credits page of this website. You get a personal, non-transferable licence to play.
8. Paid features
The shop is not live. Nothing can be bought in the Game and no payment is collected. If a shop opens, it will have its own terms of sale, shown before you pay.
9. Changes and ending
- We may change these Terms. When a text changes in substance we change
terms_version(the date in the header; one version covers the Terms and the Privacy Policy). The next time you sign in, the Game shows the new texts and asks you to accept them and to confirm your age again before the sign-in finishes. A session that is already open keeps working until then. - You may stop using the Game and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end access for breaches of these Terms, for security, or if the Game closes.
