Terms of Service

Last updated November 13, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Ember Myth LLC (“we”, “us”). They cover Best Dam Game (the “game”), bestdamgame.com, and our news emails and text messages. By playing the game, using the website or signing up for news, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use them.

1. Steam

The game is sold and delivered through Steam. Your Steam account, payments and refunds are handled by Valve under the Steam Subscriber Agreement and Steam’s refund policy. Valve is not a party to these terms.

2. Who can play

You must be at least 13. If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, your parent or guardian must agree to these terms for you.

3. Your license

The game is licensed to you, not sold. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and play it for your own non-commercial entertainment, for as long as you follow these terms. We and our licensors own the game and everything in it, including its name, characters, art, music and code.

You may not:

• copy, sell, rent or distribute the game, or use it commercially, except as section 4 allows;
• decompile or reverse engineer it, except where the law gives you that right;
• use cheats, exploits or automation that affect other players;
• interfere with our servers or bypass a ban or any security measure.

4. Videos and streams

You may record, stream and share your gameplay, and you may earn money from it through ads, sponsorships, subscriptions and donations. Do not present your content as official or endorsed by us. We may ask you to take down content that is unlawful, hateful or misleading about the game.

5. Online play

When you play with others, do not:

• harass, threaten or bully anyone;
• use hateful or discriminatory language or imagery;
• share sexual content, or any content that sexualizes or endangers minors;
• share someone else’s private information;
• cheat, or deliberately ruin sessions for other players;
• break the law.

Voice chat is live between players and is not screened by us, so you may hear things you find offensive. You are responsible for what you say and for your player name. You can report a player from the pause menu.

If you break these rules, we may suspend or permanently ban your account from online play. A ban does not entitle you to a refund. If you think we got it wrong, email hello@bestdamgame.com and a person will review it.

6. Feedback

If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them freely, without payment or credit.

7. News by email and text

You can sign up in the game to receive Best Dam Game news, such as updates, events and offers, by email or text message. Signing up is optional and is not a condition of buying or playing the game. You must be at least 16, and the phone number must be your own.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any text to cancel, or HELP for help. You can also unsubscribe from the news panel in the game, with the link in any email, or by emailing hello@bestdamgame.com. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your contact details.

8. Updates and availability

We may update the game, and updates may add, change or remove features. Online features depend on servers and services that are not always available, and we may change or retire them. If we plan to switch off online play permanently, we will give reasonable notice on this website or on the game’s Steam page.

9. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and why.

10. No warranties

To the fullest extent the law allows, the game and website are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise that the game will be uninterrupted or free of errors.

11. Limit of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data or lost profits. Our total liability for all claims relating to the game, the website or these terms is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the game or US$50.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

12. Your legal rights

Some countries and states do not allow some of the exclusions and limits in sections 10 and 11, so they may not apply to you. If you are a consumer, nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under the laws of the place where you live that cannot be waived by contract.

13. Ending these terms

You can stop playing at any time. If you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, we may end your license and your access to online play. Sections 6 and 10 to 14 continue to apply after these terms end.

14. Governing law and disputes

Please contact us first at hello@bestdamgame.com. Most problems can be solved that way.

These terms are governed by the laws of the US state where Ember Myth LLC is based, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Disputes will be heard only in the state and federal courts located there, and you and we consent to those courts. If you are a consumer living in the EEA, the United Kingdom or another place whose law requires it, you keep the protection of your local mandatory laws and may bring a claim in your local courts.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will post the new version here and update the date at the top, and for significant changes we will give notice on this website or in the game before they take effect. If you keep playing after a change takes effect, you accept the new terms.

16. General

These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the game and website. If a court finds part of them unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. If we do not enforce a term, we have not waived it. You may not transfer these terms to anyone else. We may transfer them to a successor that takes over the game.
