.doi.jsonbackup standard.
2.2. Continuous updates: The Platform is under continuous improvement. Features may be added, modified, replaced or temporarily discontinued for scheduled maintenance or architectural improvements.
3. Intellectual Property & User Authorship
✓ Creator's exclusive ownership clause:
Any and all content you create, generate, import or lay out — including but not limited to game names, mechanics, rules, descriptive text, visual layouts, stat tables, statistical data, illustrations and exported files — belongs and will continue to belong solely and exclusively to you.
3.1. No royalties or claims: Dice on Top claims no intellectual property right, commercial stake, revenue share or royalty over the games designed on the Platform.
3.2. Unrestricted commercial freedom: You are fully authorised to commercialise, license, publish, send to print shops, enter into competitions or submit your games to crowdfunding campaigns (such as Kickstarter, Gamefound and others) with no additional payment to us and no prior authorisation from us.
3.3. Platform ownership: The source code, rendering algorithms, logos, trademarks, visual identity, sounds, interfaces and documentation belonging to Dice on Top are protected by applicable intellectual property law (Brazilian Federal Laws No. 9,609/1998 and No. 9,610/1998, and the Geneva and Berne international treaties). Reverse engineering, decompilation, unauthorised copying and automated scraping of the Platform's infrastructure are strictly prohibited.
3.4. Technical operating licence: To make the services work — displaying cards on screen, syncing changes to the cloud and processing PDF/PNG exports — you grant us a strictly technical, non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free licence, limited to storing, processing and rendering your content solely for access by you or by collaborators you have authorised.
4. Responsibility for Content and Third-Party Licences
4.1. Warranty of rights: When you upload images, vectors, typefaces, textures or spreadsheets to the Platform, you represent and warrant that:
- You are the rightful author and holder of the economic rights in the material; OR
- You hold a valid licence, express permission from the author or legal authorisation (such as public-domain works or applicable Creative Commons licences) to use it.
4.2. Prohibited conduct and content: It is strictly forbidden to use Dice on Top to create, store, export or distribute:
- Material that infringes third-party copyright, trademarks, patents or trade secrets;
- Unlawful, defamatory, slanderous or discriminatory content, or content promoting hate speech, racism, physical violence or sexual exploitation of any kind;
- Corrupted files, malware, trojans or malicious code intended to compromise the security of the infrastructure or of other users.
4.3. Indemnity: You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Dice on Top and its administrators against any claims, legal disputes, losses or expenses arising from third-party copyright infringement committed through the use of your account.
5. Registration, Credentials and Account Security
5.1. Accuracy of information: A valid email address is required to create an account. You undertake to provide truthful information and to keep your email address up to date.
5.2. Safeguarding credentials: Your password is personal and non-transferable. You are fully responsible for keeping your access credentials confidential and for all operations carried out through your account. If you suspect unauthorised access, notify our team immediately.
5.3. No abusive multiple accounts: Automated mass account creation, and any workaround used to circumvent the operational limits set by the Platform, are prohibited.
6. Cloud Sync, Local Cache and Backups
6.1. Hybrid architecture: Dice on Top operates on a modern synchronisation model:
- Central cloud (Supabase): Securely stores your profile, project metadata, decks, card definitions and settings behind row-level data isolation policies (Row Level Security — RLS);
- High-performance local cache (IndexedDB): Keeps working replicas and version history in the browser so that editing hundreds of cards at once stays fast and fluid.
6.2. Recommended periodic backups: Although the Platform maintains redundancy and synchronisation routines, we strongly recommend periodically downloading your projects in the open .doi.json format (the “Export project” option). Dice on Top is not liable for losses arising from the User voluntarily clearing browser data, or from incompatibility with outdated third-party browsers.
7. Plans, Free Features and Subscriptions
7.1. Free tier: Dice on Top offers free access with the essential features for creating projects, decks, cards and playtests.
7.2. Premium plans and future features: Any paid tiers or subscriptions to advanced features (such as expanded cloud storage limits, accelerated high-density rendering or priority support) will have their prices, billing cycles and conditions clearly disclosed on the Pricing page before any charge is made.
7.3. Price changes: Changes to fees for recurring plans will be notified to subscribers at least 30 (thirty) days in advance, with a guaranteed right to cancel before renewal.
8. Cancellation, Suspension and Account Closure
8.1. Voluntary closure by the User: You may close your account at any time on your own through the Danger Zone > Delete account and data option in your account settings.
8.2. Deletion is irreversible: Account deletion is final and permanently purges your projects, data, decks and settings from our production databases, with no possibility of later recovery by our team.
8.3. Suspension for breach: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for any user who seriously breaches these Terms, uses the Platform for unlawful purposes, attempts to bypass security mechanisms or commits proven fraud.
9. Warranty Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
9.1. Provided “as is”: The Platform is provided as is and as available. Although we apply software engineering and cybersecurity best practices, we do not warrant that operation will be uninterrupted or 100% free of errors or temporary inconsistencies.
9.2. Limitation for indirect damages: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Dice on Top will not be liable for lost profits, lost commercial opportunities, or indirect, incidental or punitive damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, the tool.
9.3. Print calibration: Colours and dimensions shown on screen may vary physically depending on the colour profile (RGB vs. CMYK), monitor calibration and the equipment used by your print shop. We recommend running physical proof prints before any industrial-scale production.
