Agreement to these terms
These terms are the agreement between you and DrawDuel for using the game and this website. By playing a duel, creating an account, or otherwise using DrawDuel, you accept these terms. If you do not agree with them, do not use the service.
We may update these terms as the game changes. The "last updated" date at the top shows when, and continuing to play after a change means you accept the new version.
Who can play
DrawDuel is not directed at children under 13, and you must be at least 13 to use it. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only use DrawDuel with a parent or guardian who agrees to these terms on your behalf.
Your account
You can play as a guest, or sign in to keep your rank and history between sessions. You are responsible for activity that happens under your account and for keeping your sign-in secure.
Pick a display handle that is not offensive, impersonating, or misleading. We can reset a handle that breaks this rule.
You can delete your account, and the data attached to it, at any time from the account page. We may suspend or remove an account that violates these terms.
Fair play and conduct
Play the game as intended. Do not cheat, automate input, exploit bugs, manipulate match results or the ranked ladder, or try to game the AI judge with anything other than an honest drawing.
Do not draw or submit content that is illegal, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, or that infringes someone else’s rights. The same goes for your handle and anything else you type into the game.
Do not attack the service: no scraping beyond what robots.txt allows, no overwhelming our systems, no probing for vulnerabilities outside our published security policy, and no interfering with other players’ matches.
Your drawings and content
You keep ownership of the drawings you make in DrawDuel. Because a finished duel can appear on public replay and leaderboard pages, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and share your drawings and handle as part of running and promoting the game.
This license lasts while the content is part of the service. Deleting your account removes your drawings from the pages tied to it, though an anonymized match result may remain so historical rankings stay consistent.
Only submit content you have the right to share, and that follows the conduct rules above.
The AI judge
Each duel is scored by an automated AI judge. Its decisions are final for the purpose of the match and the ranked ladder. The judge is software and can be imperfect, so results are provided as part of a game and not as any objective measure of artistic skill.
Pro and purchases
DrawDuel is free to play. Pro and any other paid items are cosmetic or convenience extras (such as removing ads, brushes, palettes, and victory animations) and never change who wins a duel.
Prices and what each purchase includes are shown at the point of sale. Except where the law gives you a refund right, purchases are final. We may change or retire cosmetic items over time.
Advertising
We show ads, including through Google AdSense, to keep DrawDuel free for players who are not on Pro. How ad cookies work and how to opt out is covered in our Privacy Policy. Pro members do not see ads.
Availability and changes
We work to keep DrawDuel running but do not promise it will always be available, uninterrupted, or bug-free. We may add, change, or remove features, and we may suspend or end the service, at any time.
Disclaimers
DrawDuel is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent the law allows. We do not warrant that the game will meet your expectations or that results, rankings, or the AI judge will be accurate or error-free.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, DrawDuel and the people behind it are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under the law that applies to you.
Termination
You can stop using DrawDuel and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or to protect the service and its players. Sections that by their nature should survive (content license for material still public, disclaimers, and liability limits) continue after access ends.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms we will update this page and the date at the top, and call out material changes on the site. Your continued use after a change means you accept it.
