Terms of Service
Last updated: July 20, 2026
These terms cover your use of Fate Round — the website, our apps, and the games you host or join through them (together, the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use Fate Round.
Who can use Fate Round
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. Some games are intended for adults only and are labelled 18+ in the games directory and on their game pages — you must be 18 or older to play those. Where you are under the age of majority in your country, you may only use the Service with the involvement of a parent, guardian, or teacher.
Fate Round is used in classrooms and school competitions. If you are running games for students, you are responsible for choosing age-appropriate games and for any custom questions you add. The 18+ games are not suitable for school use.
Accounts and rooms
Most of the Service works without an account: you join a game with a display name and a room code. You are responsible for what happens in rooms you host, including who you share the room code with. Room codes are effectively passwords — anyone who has one can join.
If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping access to it secure and for activity that takes place under it.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- harass, bully, threaten, defame, or sexualise any person, including other players;
- upload or submit content that is illegal, hateful, or sexually explicit involving minors;
- impersonate another person, or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone;
- share content you do not have the rights to share;
- disrupt the Service — including scraping, automated play, attempting to overload our infrastructure, or circumventing rate limits and room controls;
- reverse engineer or attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service.
Some of our games involve rating or making judgements about other players. Consent matters: only play those games with people who have agreed to take part, and stop if anyone asks to.
Content you create
You keep ownership of the questions, answers, drawings, names, and other content you submit. By submitting content you grant Fate Round a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, and transmit it for the purpose of operating the Service — for example, showing your answer to the other players in your room.
If you submit content to our shared question Library, you additionally allow other hosts to use it in their games. We may edit, tag, reject, or remove Library submissions at our discretion.
Moderation and reporting
We may remove content, end a room, or block access to the Service where we believe these terms have been broken. We do not pre-screen the content players create in private rooms.
To report content or behaviour, email [email protected] with the room code and, if you can, a screenshot. We aim to respond to reports within a few working days.
Service availability
The Service is provided free of charge and “as is”. We do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, that games will always finish, or that data such as scores and game history will be retained. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fate Round is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from your use of the Service, or for the conduct of other players. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law — including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the Service changes. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use Fate Round after a change means you accept the updated terms.
