These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Last Ship Sailing ("LSS," "the Game," "the Service"), a browser-based zero-gravity ship combat game made by Ashman Roonz. By loading, opening, or playing LSS at lss.fractalreality.ca, or by launching it as a Discord Activity, you agree to these Terms.
1. Nature of the service
LSS is a hobby project, currently in active development. The Game is provided free of charge, as-is, without any warranty of fitness for any particular purpose. The Game uses a peer-to-peer mesh networking architecture (via Trystero); there is no central game server and there is no uptime guarantee. The Game may be unavailable, change without notice, or be discontinued at any time.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use LSS, or the minimum age required by Discord's Terms of Service in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. By using LSS you confirm that you meet this requirement.
3. Account and identity
LSS uses Discord OAuth (PKCE flow) for player identity. By signing in with Discord, you authorize LSS to read your Discord ID, display name, and avatar URL for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy. You may sign out at any time from within the Game's lobby. You may revoke LSS's access entirely from your Discord account settings under Authorized Apps.
You are responsible for any activity that occurs under your Discord identity in LSS. Do not share your Discord credentials with others.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Cheat, exploit bugs, or use unauthorized client modifications, trainers, aimbots, wallhacks, or any tool that gives an unfair advantage in multiplayer matches.
- Impersonate other players, the developer, Discord moderators, or any real person.
- Spam, harass, or harm other players in-game or in any associated Discord channels used by LSS.
- Attempt to disrupt, overwhelm, or attack the LSS infrastructure (game HTML, Cloudflare Worker proxy, Discord webhooks, or any related systems).
- Use the Game or its associated Discord channels to distribute malware, illegal content, or content that violates Discord's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.
- Reverse-engineer or redistribute the Game's source HTML, ship models, or assets except as expressly permitted by their respective licenses.
Repeated or serious violations may result in your removal from LSS-affiliated Discord servers and revocation of access to the Game.
5. License
The Game's HTML, JavaScript, ship models (.glb files), audio, and other assets are the work of Ashman Roonz unless otherwise noted. Until LSS reaches a stable 1.0 release, please do not fork, mirror, rebrand, or republish the Game's code or assets. Sharing the official link, posting screenshots, recording gameplay clips, and providing feedback are all encouraged.
The Circumpunct Ethics Framework that informs the LSS community guidelines is licensed under CC-BY-4.0 and may be forked with attribution. That license applies to the framework only, not to LSS itself.
6. Discord and third-party services
LSS integrates with Discord for identity, leaderboards, and (planned) Discord Activities. Your interactions with Discord while using LSS are governed by Discord's own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. LSS uses Cloudflare Workers as a thin proxy to validate identity tokens and relay match results to Discord channels; Cloudflare's terms apply to that traffic.
You are responsible for complying with the Terms of Service of any third-party platform you use in connection with LSS.
7. User-submitted content
If you submit user-generated content to LSS (e.g. custom maps, wall patterns, or sound packs via the community submission flow into the LSS Discord server), you grant LSS a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and incorporate that content into the Game as community-curated material. You retain ownership of your submissions. Submissions may be moderated, removed, or rejected at the developer's discretion.
8. Match results and leaderboards
Match results posted to Discord channels via LSS are public records visible to anyone with access to those channels. By participating in matches, you consent to your Discord identity, ship choice, kills, deaths, and other gameplay statistics being posted to the relevant channels. Disputed match results (where participants do not report matching outcomes) are flagged and may be excluded from the leaderboard.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
LSS is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The developer does not warrant that the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall Ashman Roonz be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use LSS, including without limitation loss of data, loss of progress, or loss of opportunity.
11. Changes to these Terms
These Terms may be updated from time to time. Material changes will be posted at this URL with an updated effective date. Continued use of LSS after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
12. Termination
You may stop using LSS at any time. The developer may suspend or terminate access to LSS for any user who violates these Terms or for any other reason, with or without notice.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.
14. Contact
Questions about these Terms can be directed to ashroney@gmail.com, or via the LSS Discord server moderators.
