Terms and conditions
These terms are an agreement between you and Makero ("we", "us") about using makero.me and play-makero.me (the "service"). By creating an account or letting a child use the service, you agree to them. Please read them with your child in a way that suits their age.
1. Who can use Makero
- An account holder ("parent") must be at least 18 and a parent or legal guardian of every child they add.
- Children use Makero only through a login created by their parent, and only with the parent's permission and supervision appropriate to their age. The parent is responsible for their child's use.
- You must give accurate information and keep passwords private. Tell us at once if you think an account was used without permission.
2. The service
Makero lets kids describe a game to an AI helper, play the result, keep it private, share it with approved friends, compete on scoreboards, and send it for review to Game World. We may change, pause or stop features, and set limits on how much can be made or stored. We may introduce paid plans in future; we will tell you before anything costs money, and nothing is charged without the parent's clear agreement.
3. Rules for everyone
Do not use Makero, and do not ask the AI, to make or share anything that:
- is violent, hateful, sexual, frightening or otherwise unsuitable for children, or promotes drugs, gambling or dangerous activity;
- bullies, harasses or targets a person, or includes real people's names, photos or personal information;
- asks for or collects personal information, contains links, advertising or payment requests;
- copies someone else's work or brand in a way that breaks their rights;
- tries to break, overload, test or bypass the service, its safety checks, scoreboards, or other people's accounts, or uses scripts or bots;
- breaks the law.
Ro only helps with making games. Requests about anything else may be refused.
4. Friends, sharing and Game World
- A friend connection exists only after the receiving child's parent approves it. Either parent can remove or block a connection at any time.
- Games shared with friends can be played by those friends. Stopping sharing removes access.
- Sending a game to Game World asks Makero to review it. We may approve it, ask for changes, or decline it, and we may remove a game from Game World at any time. Approval is not a guarantee that a game is perfect or suitable for every child.
- Anyone with an account can play Game World games, see the maker's nickname and avatar, react, and appear on scoreboards.
- We may feature games, run competitions and publish winners' nicknames and avatars inside Makero. Competition rules are shown with each competition.
5. Who owns games
The child (and their family) keeps the rights they have in the ideas and games they create. Game code is written by AI, so we cannot promise that no one else has made something similar. You give us a free, worldwide permission to host, run, display, review, copy and show games to the people the child chose (friends, or Game World if submitted) and to use them to run and promote Makero inside the service, for as long as the game is on Makero. Makero, Ro, the logo, the design and the software belong to us.
6. AI and no promises
AI output can be wrong, buggy or unexpected. Makero is provided "as is". We work to keep it safe and available, but we do not promise that it will always work, be error-free, or that games will be suitable for every child. Parents should stay involved in how their children use it.
7. Our right to act
We may remove content, limit features, suspend or close accounts, and share information with authorities, where we think it is needed to keep children safe, protect the service, or follow the law or these terms. If we close an account without a safety reason, we will normally tell you why.
8. Ending your account
A parent can delete a kid login or their whole account at any time from the parent page or by emailing us. Deleting removes the data as described in the privacy policy. Sections that by their nature should continue (for example 5, 6, 9 and 10) continue after the account ends.
9. Limits of our responsibility
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data or games, and our total responsibility to you for anything connected with the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the problem (or, if you paid nothing, a nominal amount). Nothing in these terms limits responsibility that cannot legally be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, or removes consumer rights you have under the law where you live.
10. Changes, law and contact
We may update these terms. If a change matters we will tell parents before it applies, and continued use after that means you accept it. If a part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. These terms are governed by the laws of the place where the Makero operator is established, and the courts there can decide disputes, except where mandatory consumer law gives you the right to use your local courts.
