Terms of Service

Last Updated: July 19, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the HexBench software ("Software") and the hexbench.gg website ("Website"), operated by Joey Games LLC ("Company", "we", "us").

By accessing the Website or purchasing/using the Software, you agree to these Terms.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Software or Website. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Purchases and Licensing

All purchases of the Software are governed by the HexBench End-User License Agreement (EULA). Key points:

  • The HexBench Client is free to download and does not require a Host License.
  • Alpha, Beta, and retail base purchases are one-time payments for a perpetual Host License.
  • One Host License may be active on one server device at a time.
  • Optional expansions require a valid base Host License unless expressly sold as a bundle that includes one.
  • All sales are final. Refund requests are handled on a case-by-case basis within 14 days of purchase.
  • Payment processing is handled by Lemon Squeezy, our Merchant of Record. By purchasing, you also agree to Lemon Squeezy's Terms of Service.
  • License keys are non-transferable between people. The owner may move an activation between devices under the EULA's transfer rules.
  • Pricing may change at any time. Purchased licenses are not affected by future price changes.

3. User Conduct

When using the Software, Website, or any Company-operated community spaces (forums, community channels, etc.), you agree NOT to:

  1. Harass, threaten, or abuse other users.
  2. Distribute malware, exploits, or malicious content.
  3. Impersonate Company staff or other users.
  4. Use the Software or any Company service for illegal purposes.
  5. Attempt to circumvent host activation, license validation, or server-enforced permissions.
  6. Scrape, crawl, or automated-access the Website beyond normal use.

4. User Content

"User Content" means maps, tokens, scripts, plugins, themes, and other content you create for use with the Software.

  • You retain all rights to your User Content.
  • If you upload User Content to a Company-operated marketplace or community space, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host and display that content within the service.
  • You are responsible for ensuring your User Content does not infringe third-party rights.
  • We may remove User Content that violates these Terms.

5. Community Marketplace

If we operate a marketplace for User Content:

  • Sellers set their own prices.
  • The Company takes a commission (currently 15%) on marketplace sales.
  • Commission rates may change with 30 days notice.
  • We reserve the right to remove listings that violate these Terms.

6. Intellectual Property

The proprietary Software, its source code, the Website, and associated branding (including the HexBench name and logo) are the intellectual property of Joey Games LLC. The Client, Host Component, server, editor, renderer, and internal tools are closed-source. Nothing in these Terms grants rights beyond the EULA and the separate licenses expressly attached to open components.

7. Third-Party Game Content

The Software includes game system content used under open licenses (ORC, CC-BY-4.0, CC-BY-SA-4.0). Third-party content is identified in the Software's credits and NOTICE files. Third-party content remains subject to its original license terms.

8. Availability

We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the Website or online license services. Games are self-hosted and ordinary player traffic goes to the chosen host. The Host Component may contact the license service for activation, transfer, and validation.

9. Disclaimer of Warranty

THE SOFTWARE AND WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

10. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL JOEY GAMES LLC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APPLICABLE HOST LICENSE OR EXPANSION.

11. Modifications

We may update these Terms at any time. We will notify users of material changes via email or prominent notice on the Website. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to our services if you violate these Terms. Your Client and Host licenses are governed by the EULA and survive termination of these Terms unless the EULA is separately terminated.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of California.
