Terms of Use
These Terms of Use are a working draft published in good faith and pending final legal review. We may revise this text as that review completes; the effective date above will change when we do.
The short version (not a substitute for the full Terms)
You own the mazes and image masks you make — we just host, render, and serve them so the studio works. You’re responsible for what you upload and for anything you choose to share or publish. The builder is free; clean, unwatermarked exports are a paid upgrade we’re still building. Our engine is plain math, not generative AI, and we never train any model on your work. If you publish a maze to a public page or gallery, keep it kind and lawful. Disputes go to court, not arbitration, and any claim has to be brought within one year.
This box is a friendly orientation only. The full Terms below are what actually govern your use of Mazedly, and they control if anything here reads differently.
1. The Service and who we are
Mazedly is a browser-based studio for designing, rendering, saving, and sharing mazes, operated by Sevensoft LLC (“Sevensoft,” “Mazedly,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Sevensoft LLC governing your use of the Mazedly studio, the mazedly.com website, and our related services (together, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
Our engine is deterministic and algorithmic: we do not use generative AI, and we do not train any model — ours or anyone else’s — on your content. Mazedly is an evolving product. We may add, change, or remove features as the Service develops. Some capabilities are free, and others may be offered as paid plans where and when we make them available.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent where you live, to use the Service. Mazedly is not directed to children. We ask your age but do not verify it; by using the Service, you represent that you meet the minimum age. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
3. Accounts and sign-in
You can use most of the Service without an account. If you choose to sign in, you may use an email magic link, a passkey, or a supported sign-in provider (Google, Apple, or Facebook). If you sign in, we hold a verified email address and, where a provider supplies one, an optional display name — some sign-in methods share no email with us at all. We do not ask for a postal address, phone number, or date of birth. Our Privacy Policy explains exactly what we collect and why.
You are responsible for keeping your sign-in methods and devices secure and for activity that occurs under your account. Please tell us promptly, at support@mazedly.com, if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
4. Your content and the license you grant us
You keep ownership of the mazes and image masks you create or upload (“Your Content”). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, revocable license to host, store, process, reproduce, and display Your Content solely to run the Service for you — for example, to save your mazes, render your downloads, and serve the share links you create. This license does not let us feature or promote your work; any such use is your choice and is covered in “Sharing and publishing” below.
You are responsible for Your Content. You represent that you have the rights to any image or mask you upload, and that Your Content does not infringe anyone else’s rights or violate the law. We may remove or restrict content that violates these Terms, our Acceptable Use Policy, or our Community & Content Guidelines, as described in “Content removal and copyright” below.
5. Sharing and publishing
You control whether and how your mazes leave your own workspace. Mazedly offers three deliberate, user-chosen ways to make a maze visible to others, and each exposes your work differently:
- Share creates a link so that anyone who has the link can open your maze. A shared maze is public to anyone with the link, but it is ephemeral, is not indexed by search engines, and is not eligible for Mazedly’s galleries. A bare Share does not give us any right to feature your maze.
- Publish makes your maze fully public on mazedly.com. A published maze can be indexed by crawlers, found through search, and included in Mazedly’s own site search and galleries. Publishing is the deliberate all-in choice, and it is the affirmative act by which you grant us the right to display, feature, and include that maze in Mazedly galleries. We do not claim any promotional license by default — only publishing (or otherwise submitting a maze into a Mazedly gallery) grants it, and we never use your private mazes.
- Embed includes everything in Publish and additionally gives you an embed snippet (an
<iframe>) so you can place your published maze on other websites.
You can reverse either choice at any time by marking a maze private in your saved galleries or by deleting it. Making a maze private removes it from public view and from search and gallery eligibility going forward. We may also restrict a published maze — replacing its public page with a placeholder — where the law or our policies require, as described in “Content removal and copyright.”
If you make content public, others may view it and may re-share it, and we are not responsible for how third parties use what you chose to publish. Published content must follow our Community & Content Guidelines.
Forks are independent. If someone creates a descendant of a published maze (a fork) before you make it private, that descendant is its own maze from the moment it is created. Short of a copyright takedown under our Copyright & DMCA Policy, unpublishing or deleting the parent does not remove, unpublish, or otherwise affect any fork already made from it.
6. Acceptable use
Your use of the Service is governed by our Acceptable Use Policy, which is part of these Terms. In short: use the Service lawfully; don’t upload content you don’t have the rights to, or that is unlawful, harmful, or abusive; don’t attack, overload, probe, or reverse-engineer the Service; and don’t try to get around watermarks, rate limits, security, or access controls.
The Acceptable Use Policy carries the full, detailed list of prohibited conduct, and it controls if anything in this summary reads differently. If you come across a maze that breaks these rules, you can flag it with the “Report this maze” control on any shared or published maze page, or email abuse@mazedly.com.
7. No public API; no automated or third-party integration
Mazedly does not offer a public API. The network endpoints that power the studio exist solely to serve Mazedly’s own first-party clients. Automated or third-party integration with our endpoints — including scripting, bots, scraping, or wiring another application or service into ours — is unsupported and violates these Terms and our Acceptable Use Policy. We may change these endpoints at any time without notice, and we may block access that is automated or that does not originate from our official clients.
8. Free and paid plans
The free experience lets you explore the engine and download watermarked PNG images. Where and when we offer paid plans, they may unlock cleaner, unwatermarked exports (such as SVG and PDF) and additional rights, including commercial-use rights on some plans. Plan features, limits, and prices will be described where the plans are offered, and the pricing and billing terms presented at checkout will form part of these Terms when you purchase. Paid plans apply only to the plan you have purchased and while it is active.
Our detailed billing, renewal, cancellation, and refund terms will live in our Billing & Refunds terms once paid plans go live, and will also be surfaced at checkout. In plain terms, our refund principle is: you pay the standard short-pass rate for the time you actually used, and we refund the rest — refunds are for a defective product, used time is never refunded, and any subscription discount is forfeited when we refund. Usage is measured in consecutive three-day passes (our Weekend Pass unit) counted from your billing date; any part of a three-day window uses up a whole pass. The rate we use is the Weekend Pass price that was quoted to you when you bought your plan, locked at purchase — not any later price.
A worked example: suppose you buy a plan and later ask for a refund on day 7. Day 7 falls in the third three-day window, so three passes have been used. We multiply three passes by the Weekend Pass rate you were quoted at purchase to get your usage cost. If that usage cost is equal to or more than what you paid, we cancel the plan (no cash back, you are not billed again, and your access runs to the end of the paid cycle). If your usage cost is less than what you paid, we refund the difference, and your access ends at the end of that current three-day window. A Weekend Pass itself carries no discount to claw back, so it is non-refundable once purchased or used, except when the product is defective.
Refunds are processed through LemonSqueezy, our merchant of record. If you are in the EU or UK, you consent at checkout to immediate delivery of digital content and waive your right to withdraw once delivery begins. The full detail is owned by our Billing & Refunds terms.
9. Single-user license and account sharing
Where paid plans are offered, each paid account is licensed for use by a single individual. The license follows the person, not a device: you may sign in to your own account across your own browsers, computers, tablets, and locations, as long as the account is used only by you.
You may not share your sign-in credentials; let other people (such as coworkers, clients, friends, students, or team members) use your account; operate one subscription as a shared team account; allow multiple people to use the account at the same time; or sell, rent, sublicense, or transfer account access. Credential sharing or multi-person use may result in a warning, suspension, or a required upgrade to an appropriate plan, where available.
10. Feedback
If you send us feedback, ideas, or suggestions about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use them for any purpose, without any obligation or compensation to you, and you agree that we may do so without treating them as confidential.
11. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, engine, design, and branding, belongs to Sevensoft LLC or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service for its intended purpose, subject to these Terms. Aside from Your Content and the mazes you are entitled to export, no rights are granted to you by implication.
12. Content removal and copyright
We may remove or restrict content that violates these Terms, our Acceptable Use Policy, or our Community & Content Guidelines, and we will give notice where practicable. When we restrict a published maze, its public page may show a placeholder; if we reinstate it, the original link works again.
Copyright complaints and counter-notices are handled under our Copyright & DMCA Policy, which explains how to send a valid notice and how our designated agent process works. You can reach our copyright agent at copyright@mazedly.com. If you use the in-product “Report this maze” control and choose the copyright or intellectual-property category, we will route you to our Copyright & DMCA process rather than a free-text report, because a valid takedown notice requires sworn statements a short form cannot collect.
A copyright takedown is the one exception to fork independence described in “Sharing and publishing”: a valid notice may reach a descendant maze even though ordinary unpublishing or deletion of a parent does not.
13. Pre-release and changes to the Service
Mazedly is early and evolving. Some features are pre-release or experimental, and they may change, break, or be withdrawn at any time without notice. The Service, including any such features, is provided as-is, with no promise of continuous availability. Please keep your own copies of anything you want to be sure to retain — see also the Disclaimers below.
14. Cancellation, suspension, and termination
You can stop using the Service at any time. If you have an account, you can close it or permanently delete it from your account settings. Closing your account is a reversible suspension. Deleting your account is an irreversible cascade: it permanently erases your saved mazes, along with their masks and share links, your enrolled passkeys, any pending sign-in requests, and your account record and linked identities. We email you a confirmation. Our Privacy Policy describes this in full.
We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or the policies they incorporate, or to protect the Service or other users. Where practicable, we will give notice, and we will restore access where a violation is cured and restoration is appropriate. The sections listed under “Survival” continue to apply after termination.
15. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any output will meet your requirements. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of anything you want to retain. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
16. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sevensoft LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim or one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100). Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
17. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sevensoft LLC from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms, the policies they incorporate, applicable law, or the rights of any third party.
18. Legal compliance and law enforcement
We may access, preserve, and disclose information — including Your Content and account information — where we reasonably believe it is necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental, court, or law-enforcement request. We also reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to report information (including Your Content) to law enforcement or other authorities where we believe it appropriate. Our Privacy Policy describes how this fits with your privacy rights.
19. Dispute resolution
We would rather sort out any problem directly. If you have a dispute with us, please contact us first at support@mazedly.com and give us about 30 days to try to resolve it informally before starting any formal proceeding. We will do the same for any dispute we have with you.
If we cannot resolve it, the dispute will be handled in court, as described in “Governing law and venue” below. These Terms do not require arbitration and do not include a class-action waiver. Nothing here prevents either of us from bringing an individual claim in a small-claims court that has jurisdiction, if the claim qualifies.
20. Time limit on claims
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, IT IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
21. Governing law and venue
Sevensoft LLC operates the Service from Washington. These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Service, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without resort to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and Sevensoft LLC agree that any action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will be filed only in the state and federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you and Sevensoft LLC consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, those courts, except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to proceed elsewhere.
22. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time, including as we complete the review of this draft. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree to an update, please stop using the Service — and if you have an account, you can close or delete it.
23. General terms
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the policies they incorporate — the Privacy Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy, the Copyright & DMCA Policy, and the Community & Content Guidelines — are the entire agreement between you and Sevensoft LLC about the Service, and they replace any earlier agreement on the same subject.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our consent. We may assign these Terms, including as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
Force majeure. Neither you nor Sevensoft LLC is liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond reasonable control, such as natural events, outages, or acts of government.
Notices. We may give you notice by the email address on your account or by an in-Service or on-site notice. You can reach us using the contacts in “Contact us” below.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest of the Terms remain in full effect.
24. Survival
Termination or expiration does not end the sections that by their nature should continue. These include: Your content and the license you grant us (to the extent needed to operate and wind down the Service), Sharing and publishing (including fork independence), Feedback, Intellectual property, Content removal and copyright, Disclaimers, Limitation of liability, Indemnification, Legal compliance and law enforcement, Dispute resolution, Time limit on claims, Governing law and venue, and General terms.
25. Incorporated policies
These Terms of Use are the master agreement for the Service, and they incorporate the following policies by reference. Each is part of these Terms, and together they govern your use of Mazedly:
- the Privacy Policy, which explains what we collect, why, and the choices and rights you have;
- the Acceptable Use Policy, which sets out the full rules of use;
- the Copyright & DMCA Policy, which covers copyright complaints and counter-notices; and
- the Community & Content Guidelines, which apply to shared and published mazes and galleries.
Where any of these policies conflicts with the general summaries in these Terms, the more specific policy controls on its subject.
