Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using Chitmunk. These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and the operator of Chitmunk ("we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree, do not use Chitmunk.
You must be at least 16 years old to use Chitmunk. If you are between 16 and 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
To use the Service, you must create an account through our authentication provider, Clerk, using Google, Microsoft, Apple, or email sign-in. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep it updated.
Chitmunk is a browser-based design tool for creating board game components compatible with TheGameCrafter.com print-on-demand specifications. The application runs primarily in your browser. Your designs are stored locally on your device by default and optionally in Chitmunk Cloud or your own third-party cloud storage accounts.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal or commercial board game design purposes.
We strive to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or factors beyond our control. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of planned downtime.
We may modify, update, or discontinue features of the Service at any time. If we make a material change that significantly reduces the functionality of a paid feature, we will provide reasonable notice to affected subscribers.
Certain features may be labeled "Beta," "Preview," or "Experimental" (such as Vector PDF export). Beta features are provided as-is without warranty, may contain bugs, and may be modified or removed without notice. Your use of beta features is at your own risk.
The Common tier provides access to the full card design editor, all generators and shapes, text effects, CSV merge, AI image generation, symbols, unlimited local projects, 72 dpi image export, 1 GB of Chitmunk Cloud storage, Sell Sheet and Dieline PDFs, Google Drive sync, and custom fonts.
The Rare subscription adds 300 dpi export, PDF with crop marks, CMYK PDF (ICC, PDF/X-3), batch ZIP export, TTS spritesheets, TheGameCrafter direct upload, print-at-home 9-up layout, and 50 GB of Chitmunk Cloud storage. Current pricing is $7.99/month or $59.99/year. We may change pricing with at least 30 days' notice before your next billing cycle.
New users may receive a 5-day free trial of Rare features. Before any payment information is collected, you will be clearly informed of: (a) the trial duration, (b) the subscription price that will apply after the trial ends, (c) the billing frequency, and (d) how to cancel. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan at the disclosed price.
Rare subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually) at the then-current price unless you cancel. You may cancel at any time through your account settings. After cancellation, Rare features remain active until the end of your current paid billing period, then your account reverts to the Common tier. All of your designs remain fully accessible regardless of subscription status. No data is deleted upon downgrade.
You can cancel your subscription online at any time through your Chitmunk account settings or by emailing [email protected]. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.
Payments are generally non-refundable. However, if you are charged after cancellation due to an error, or if you experience a material service disruption that prevents use of paid features for an extended period, contact [email protected] and we will review your request in good faith. For EU/EEA residents, see Section 16 (EU Consumer Rights).
Payments are processed by Stripe through our authentication provider, Clerk. We never store your credit card number or full payment details on our servers. Your use of Stripe is subject to the Stripe Services Agreement.
You own everything you create with Chitmunk. We claim no intellectual property rights over your User Content. Your designs, images, text, and data belong to you.
By uploading or storing User Content on Chitmunk Cloud, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transfer, display, and transmit your User Content solely as necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the Service (including enabling collaboration and sharing features you activate). This license terminates when you delete your content or close your account, except for copies reasonably needed for backup or as required by law.
You represent and warrant that: (a) you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content; (b) your User Content does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights; and (c) your User Content complies with these Terms and all applicable laws.
You may export your projects at any time using the built-in export features (ZIP project files containing your designs, images, and data). We do not lock you into the platform.
The Service, including its software, design, interface, trademarks, logos (including the Hex Chit chipmunk mark and the Acorn mark), and documentation, is owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any Chitmunk IP to you.
Third-party assets available through the Service (icons via Iconify, the Kenney Board Game Pack, Google Fonts, SVG patterns) are subject to their respective licenses. It is your responsibility to comply with those licenses (including attribution requirements) when you publish designs that incorporate Licensed Content.
If you provide suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any purpose without obligation to you.
You agree not to use the Service to:
We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action, including suspension or termination, for violations of this section.
Chitmunk Cloud allows you to store projects, images, and fonts on our servers (hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure). Cloud storage is subject to quota limits based on your subscription tier (1 GB Common, 50 GB Rare). If you exceed your quota, you will need to delete content or upgrade before saving additional projects.
You may share cloud projects with other Chitmunk users by granting them viewer or editor access. When you share a project:
You may generate public or authenticated links to your projects. Public view links allow anyone with the link to view (but not edit) your project. You are responsible for managing the distribution of your share links. You can revoke any link at any time.
Cloud-stored content is processed and stored on Cloudflare's global infrastructure. Images are stored using content-addressed hashing (SHA-256). We maintain server-side audit logs for security purposes. See our Privacy Policy for details on data storage and retention.
Chitmunk integrates with third-party services that are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or conduct of third-party services. Your use of them is at your own risk.
When you connect your Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive account, you authorize Chitmunk to read and write project files within designated folders. You may revoke this access at any time through your Google or Microsoft account settings.
Chitmunk supports AI image generation via Cloudflare Workers AI. When you use AI features:
We respect intellectual property rights and expect our users to do the same. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and applicable law.
If you believe that content accessible through Chitmunk infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent with the following information:
DMCA Agent: [email protected]
If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to [email protected] containing: (a) identification of the removed material and its prior location; (b) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake; (c) your name, address, and telephone number; (d) a statement consenting to jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or, if outside the US, any judicial district in which we may be found); and (e) your physical or electronic signature.
Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action within 10 business days, we may restore the removed content.
We will terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
Our collection, use, and sharing of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF ANY CONTENT OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING AI-GENERATED IMAGES, THIRD-PARTY ASSETS, OR PRINT SPECIFICATIONS. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AND RELIANCE ON ANY CONTENT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:
(A) IN NO EVENT SHALL CHITMUNK, ITS OPERATOR, OR THEIR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
(B) OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (I) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (II) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100).
THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Chitmunk and its operator, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights.
We will promptly notify you of any such claim and reasonably cooperate with your defense. You may not settle any claim without our prior written consent if the settlement would impose obligations on us.
If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA:
These Terms remain in effect as long as you have an account or use the Service.
You may terminate your account at any time by contacting [email protected]. Before termination, we recommend exporting your projects using the built-in export features.
We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you violate these Terms, engage in conduct that we reasonably believe is harmful to other users or our infrastructure, or if required by law. For less severe issues, we will attempt to notify you and provide an opportunity to remedy the situation before termination.
Upon termination:
Sections 5 (Your Content), 6 (Chitmunk's IP), 11 (DMCA), 13 (Disclaimers), 14 (Limitation of Liability), 15 (Indemnification), 18 (Dispute Resolution), 19 (Governing Law), and 21 (General) survive termination.
Before filing a formal dispute, you agree to try to resolve it informally by contacting [email protected]. We will attempt to resolve the dispute within 60 days. If we cannot, either party may proceed as described below.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved informally shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis, in the English language, in the county where you reside or by videoconference. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AND CHITMUNK AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.
Either party may: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court for claims within that court's jurisdiction; or (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights, pending the outcome of arbitration.
You may opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions by sending written notice to [email protected] within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms. Your notice must include your name, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. If you opt out, the Governing Law and jurisdiction provisions in Section 19 will apply to disputes.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [STATE], USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If the arbitration provisions do not apply (whether due to opt-out or exception), you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in [STATE] for any disputes.
For EU/EEA residents: this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer protection provisions of the laws of your country of residence.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will:
Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you should stop using the Service and may request account deletion.
