Terms of Service

Last updated: November 5, 2026

Welcome to Sparkforge ("Sparkforge", "we", "us"). By using this website (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.

1. Who can use Sparkforge

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Site. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to post games or take part in the Creator Earnings Program. If you use the Site for an organization, you confirm you're allowed to accept these Terms for it.

2. Your account

You're responsible for your account and for what happens under it. Use a real email address and keep access to it secure. Tell us if you think someone else is using your account. We may suspend or close accounts that break these Terms.

3. Games you post

• You keep ownership. You own the games you post (or have the right to post them).
• License to us. By posting, you give Sparkforge a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, run, promote and show ads alongside your game on the Site and in promotion of the Site. This ends when you delete the game, except for copies we reasonably need to keep for backups or legal reasons.
• Your promises. You confirm that you made the game (with or without AI help) or have permission to post it, and that it doesn't break anyone's rights or any law.
• AI-made content. You're responsible for checking what an AI tool produces before you post it, the same as anything else you post.

4. What's not allowed

• Content that is sexual, hateful, harassing, threatening, or promotes violence, self-harm or illegal activity.
• Characters, art, music, logos or names you don't have the rights to (for example, famous game or movie characters).
• Games that try to collect personal information, passwords or payment details, mine cryptocurrency, redirect players, or contain malicious code.
• Games made mainly for young children, since our ads aren't suitable for them.
• Spam, misleading titles or thumbnails, or reposting someone else's game as your own.
• Faking plays, likes or ad views, using bots, or asking anyone to click ads.
• Trying to break, overload or get around the security of the Site.

We may remove any content, or suspend any account, at our discretion, with or without notice.

5. Creator Earnings Program

• Ads are shown before and around games. Each counted ad view is credited to the game's creator.
• Views don't count when creators play their own games, or when the same viewer sees the same game again within 30 minutes. We may exclude any views we believe are invalid.
• After each month ends, we total the ad income the Site actually received. 70% of it is shared between eligible creators in proportion to their counted ad views. Sparkforge keeps the rest to run the service.
• Earnings shown in My Studio are estimates until the month is finalized.
• Payments are sent by PayPal to the email in your profile once your balance reaches $10. Smaller balances roll over. You're responsible for giving us a correct PayPal email.
• If we find fraud or invalid activity, or an ad network withholds or reverses payment, we may withhold, adjust or cancel earnings and close the account.
• You're responsible for any taxes on your earnings. Being in the program doesn't make you our employee or partner.
• We may change the revenue share or end the program with notice on the Site. Changes apply to future months, not past finalized ones.

6. Copyright complaints

If you believe a game on Sparkforge uses your work without permission, email with a link to the game, a description of your work, and your contact details. We'll review it and remove content where appropriate. Repeat infringers will lose their accounts.

7. Ads and other websites

The Site shows ads from third parties and may link to other websites (such as Claude). We're not responsible for their content, products or privacy practices.

8. Disclaimers

The Site and all games are provided "as is" and "as available." Games are made by independent creators, not by Sparkforge, and we don't guarantee that they work, are accurate, or are suitable for you. We don't promise the Site will always be available or free of errors.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Sparkforge won't be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or lost profits or data, from your use of the Site. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount we paid you in the last 12 months or $50 CAD.

10. Indemnity

If someone makes a claim against us because of content you posted or because you broke these Terms, you agree to cover the reasonable costs and losses that result.

11. Ending your use

You can stop using the Site and delete your games at any time. To delete your account, email us. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms. Sections that by their nature should continue (like 3, 8, 9 and 10) still apply afterwards.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll change the date at the top, and for important changes we'll show a notice on the Site. Continuing to use the Site means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 5, 2026

This policy explains what information Sparkforge collects and how we use it.

What we collect

• Account details: your email address, creator name, and the PayPal email you give us for payments.
• Content: the games, titles, descriptions and thumbnails you post.
• Activity: plays, likes and ad views. To stop repeat counting, we store a scrambled code made from your connection and browser details, not your name.
• On your device: your browser stores your likes, saved games, recently played list and cookie choice. This stays on your device.

How we use it

• To run the Site, sign you in, and show your games.
• To count ad views fairly and pay creators.
• To prevent fraud and abuse, and to contact you about your account.

Ads and cookies

We use third-party ad providers such as Google AdSense. They may use cookies or similar technology to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can learn more and control personalized ads at Google Ad Settings and how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Who we share it with

We don't sell your personal information. We share it only with services that help run the Site: Supabase (database and sign-in), Netlify (hosting), PayPal (creator payments) and our ad providers, or when the law requires it.

How long we keep it

We keep account information while your account is open. Payment records are kept as long as needed for tax and legal reasons.

Your choices

You can update your profile in My Studio, delete your games at any time, and ask us to access, correct or delete your personal information by emailing .

Children

Sparkforge isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we'll delete it.

Changes

We'll update the date at the top when this policy changes.
