Terms of Service

Effective 10 September 2026 · Last updated 10 September 2026

Welcome to Raccoonauts (the "Service") — a tool for authoring, playing, and sharing 3D worlds in your browser. The Service is operated by DragonSpecs LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("DragonSpecs", "we", "us", "our"). These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding contract between you and DragonSpecs governing your use of the Service. By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Please read Section 16 (Dispute Resolution) carefully. It requires that most disputes be resolved by binding individual arbitration and waives your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, as described in that section.

1. Acceptance and eligibility

You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with DragonSpecs and are not barred from doing so under applicable law. You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent where you live, if higher). If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms for it, and "you" includes that organization.

2. Your account

  • You must provide a valid email address and keep your account information accurate.
  • You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your login credentials and magic-link emails confidential.
  • Notify us promptly at nick@raccoonauts.com if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account.
  • You may not share, sell, or transfer your account, or use another person's account without permission.

3. License to use the Service

Subject to these Terms, DragonSpecs grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for creating, editing, playing, and sharing 3D content. You may use the Service only as permitted by these Terms and applicable law. We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, and we may set or change limits on use (such as storage, rate, or feature limits) in our reasonable discretion.

4. Paid features and billing

Parts of the Service may be offered free of charge, and we may offer premium or paid features ("Paid Features"). If you purchase a Paid Feature:

  • you authorize us and our third-party payment processors to charge the payment method you provide for all applicable fees and taxes;
  • unless stated otherwise at the point of purchase, subscriptions renew automatically for successive periods at the then-current price until you cancel, and you may cancel at any time effective at the end of the current billing period;
  • except where required by law or expressly stated by us, payments are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partial periods;
  • we may change our fees prospectively; we will give reasonable advance notice of price changes, which take effect on your next renewal.

We currently provide the Service without charge except for any Paid Features you expressly choose. Additional terms presented at the point of purchase form part of these Terms for that transaction.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to permit anyone else to:

  • violate any law or regulation, or infringe or misappropriate any intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other right;
  • upload, create, or share content that you do not have the rights to, or that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or sexually exploitative of minors;
  • upload malware or malicious code, or attempt to disrupt, overload, degrade, probe, or gain unauthorized access to the Service, its infrastructure, or other users' accounts or data;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service, except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction;
  • use bots, scrapers, or automated means to access or harvest the Service or its content, except as we expressly permit;
  • impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation;
  • use the Service to develop a competing product, or to train machine-learning or generative-AI models on Platform Content (see Section 6);
  • remove, obscure, or circumvent any security, access-control, or usage-limiting measure.

6. Platform content and assets

The Service — including its software, source code, user interface, design, text, trademarks, and all 3D models, meshes, rigs, animations, textures, and other assets we or our licensors provide (for example, the built-in raccoon avatar and its textures) (collectively, "Platform Content") — is owned by DragonSpecs or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for the limited license in Section 3, all rights are reserved, and no rights are granted to you by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

Your license lets you view and interact with Platform Content within the Service only. You may not:

  • copy, download, extract, scrape, "rip", capture, decompile, or otherwise obtain Platform Content (including 3D models, geometry, and textures) other than through features the Service expressly provides for that purpose;
  • redistribute, publish, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or make Platform Content available outside the Service, in any format;
  • create derivative works from Platform Content, or use it to train machine-learning or generative-AI models, except as the Service expressly permits;
  • remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, or ownership notice.

Because 3D worlds render on your device, your browser necessarily receives the data needed to display Platform Content. Receiving that data as part of normal use does not grant you any license to retain, extract, or redistribute it. The permissions above define what you may do; the technical ability to access rendered data does not expand them.

7. Your content

"Your Content" means the scenes, models, worlds, avatars, text, and other material you create, upload, or store using the Service. As between you and DragonSpecs, you retain all ownership of Your Content.

You grant DragonSpecs a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, cache, back up, reproduce, modify and adapt (for example, to reformat, transcode, generate thumbnails and previews, and enable editing and playback), publicly display and perform, and otherwise use Your Content solely as needed to operate, provide, secure, maintain, and improve the Service. For Your Content that you choose to publish, share, or make available to others, this license also includes the right to distribute and display that content to the users and audiences you select, and to enable the sharing, discovery, and remixing features described in Section 8.

We will not use the substance of Your private Content to train generative-AI models without your consent. We may use aggregated or de-identified data derived from use of the Service (which does not identify you or reproduce Your Content) to operate and improve the Service.

This license ends within a reasonable time after you delete Your Content or your account, except: (a) for content you published or that others have remixed or incorporated, as described in Section 8; (b) for residual copies retained in routine backups for a limited period; and (c) as required by law. You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights necessary to Your Content and to grant the licenses above, and that Your Content and our permitted use of it do not infringe or violate any third-party right or these Terms.

8. Publishing, sharing, and remixing

The Service lets you publish worlds and models and lets other users view, play, and — where you enable it — copy and remix them to create new works ("Remixes"). If you publish or share Your Content, you grant each other user who accesses it through the Service a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, play, and (where you enable remixing) reproduce and create Remixes of that content, in each case solely through the Service and subject to these Terms. You can stop offering content for remixing going forward, but Remixes and copies already made by others, and their continued use of them, are not affected. DragonSpecs is not responsible for how other users use content you make available.

9. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or other feedback about the Service, you grant DragonSpecs a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use it for any purpose without any obligation or compensation to you.

10. Copyright and DMCA

We respect intellectual-property rights and expect you to do the same, and we will respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material and will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

Notice. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Copyright Agent that includes: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (3) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it (such as a URL); (4) your contact information; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (6) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Counter-notice. If your material was removed and you believe it was removed in error or misidentification, you may send our Copyright Agent a counter-notification that includes: (1) your signature; (2) identification of the removed material and its prior location; (3) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; and (4) your name, address, and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the U.S., any district in which we may be found) and will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice. We may restore the material as permitted by the DMCA.

11. Third-party services

The Service may link to or interoperate with third-party websites, content, or services that we do not control. We are not responsible for them, and your use of them is governed by their terms, not ours. References to third parties are not endorsements.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if we reasonably believe your use creates risk or legal exposure for us or others, or if we discontinue the Service. On termination, your license to use the Service ends, and we may delete Your Content, subject to Sections 7 and 8. Any provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, and 13 through 19 — will survive.

13. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service and all Platform Content and Your Content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or that content will be preserved without loss. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DragonSpecs and its officers, members, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the liability, or (b) US $100. These limitations form an essential basis of the bargain and apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you; nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (such as, in some jurisdictions, liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence).

15. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DragonSpecs and its officers, members, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (d) your violation of any third-party right. We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate with us.

16. Dispute resolution; arbitration and class-action waiver

Read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. It requires you and DragonSpecs to resolve most disputes through binding individual arbitration rather than in court, and it waives your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class or representative action.

Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by sending a written notice describing it to nick@raccoonauts.com; we will do the same. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days, either party may begin arbitration.

Binding arbitration. Except as stated below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by a nationally recognized arbitration provider under its consumer arbitration rules, before a single arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. The arbitration will take place in Delaware, or by videoconference or telephone, or — for claims under the applicable small-value threshold — by written submissions, unless you and we agree otherwise; if you are a consumer, you may request that the hearing take place in your county of residence. The arbitrator may award the same damages and relief as a court, but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's claim.

Class-action and jury-trial waiver. You and DragonSpecs agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. You and DragonSpecs waive any right to a jury trial.

Exceptions. This section does not require arbitration of: (a) an individual claim in small-claims court that qualifies; or (b) a request for injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property or Platform Content.

30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration and class-waiver section by emailing nick@raccoonauts.com with your account email and a clear statement that you opt out, within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will proceed in court, but the rest of this section still applies.

17. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. For any dispute not subject to arbitration under Section 16, you and DragonSpecs submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware, unless applicable law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you — for example, by updating the "Last updated" date above, posting a notice in the Service, or emailing you. Changes are effective when posted unless stated otherwise. By continuing to use the Service after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms; if you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

19. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and DragonSpecs about the Service and supersede any prior agreements on that subject.
  • Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest will remain in effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
  • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms bind permitted successors and assigns.
  • Notices. We may provide notices to you by email or within the Service; you may contact us as set out in Section 20.
  • Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
  • Export and sanctions. You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Service in violation of, any applicable export-control or sanctions law.
  • Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, agency, or employment relationship between you and DragonSpecs.
  • Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
