Terms and conditions

1. The platform

RealmSketch lets you organize fictional universes, characters, locations and events, publish content and follow other creators' worlds. These terms apply to your use of the platform. If you do not agree with them, you should not create an account or publish content.

2. Account and security

You must provide accurate information, keep your password confidential and respect other people's rights. Do not share credentials or use someone else's account. Report any suspected unauthorized access to us.

If you are under age, use the platform with your legal guardian's permission and supervision where required. Do not publish sensitive personal data, minors' contact details or information that puts anyone at risk.

3. Your worlds and copyright

You retain the rights to the original content you create. By publishing it, you authorize RealmSketch to host, display and distribute it within the platform's features and according to your chosen visibility. This permission is non-exclusive and does not transfer ownership of your work.

Only publish text and images you created or are authorized to use. Following or viewing a world does not grant a licence to copy, commercially exploit or republish someone else's work.

4. Visibility and publishing

• Public: the world may appear in Explore, search engines and shared links.
• Unlisted: anyone with the link can view the world. This is not a form of private access.
• Private: access is restricted to the creator and administrators managing the platform.

You can edit or delete your worlds. Temporary backups and results already collected by external services may remain for some time; deleting content on the site does not automatically delete copies made by third parties.

5. Responsible use

You must not publish illegal content, infringe copyright, harass people, disclose personal data without a legal basis, send spam, distribute malicious software or attempt to bypass the platform's security. Fiction does not exempt you from applicable rules.

We may review reports and restrict content or accounts where necessary to protect the platform, comply with legal obligations or address breaches of these terms. You can contact us to discuss a decision.

6. Following and notifications

Following a world lets you find it in your space and receive your chosen alerts. In-app alerts and emails are configured separately in Settings. You can unfollow a world or disable notifications at any time.

7. Availability and liability

We work to keep the platform available, but interruptions, errors or feature changes may occur. Keep your own copies of important content. Nothing in these terms excludes mandatory legal rights or liability that cannot be limited by law.

8. Contact, changes and applicable law

You can use the suggestion form to ask for help, report content or raise privacy questions. These terms may be updated; the version date appears at the top of the page. Material changes will be communicated through appropriate channels.

Portuguese law and any mandatory user protection rules relevant to your circumstances apply, without prejudice to statutory rights and dispute resolution procedures.
