We may update these Terms from time to time, so check back here. Your continued use after changes means you accept them. If you have questions, reach out to us at tos@joeydrewstudios.com.

1. Who We Are and What These Terms Cover

Joey Drew Studios owns and operates the Bendy franchise, which includes all our video games, mobile apps, the website, our online store, and related services. These Terms govern your use of all these services, whether you're browsing the website, playing our games, making purchases, or interacting with community features.

Some services, like making purchases or accessing certain game features, require you to create an account. When registering, you'll provide information like your username, email, password, and age. You agree to provide accurate info and keep it updated. You're responsible for all activity on your account, so choose a strong password and don't share it. If you suspect unauthorized access, contact us immediately at tos@joeydrewstudios.com. We aren't liable for any losses from compromised accounts.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the services for personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms.

We reserve the right to monitor use and take action, like suspending accounts, for violations.

4. Purchases and Online Store

Our online store lets you buy merchandise, game-related items, or digital content. Purchases are handled by trusted third-party providers like Shopify, and may be subject to their additional terms and refund policies, which you'll see during checkout. We don't store your full payment details. Those are managed securely by our processors.

All sales are final unless stated otherwise in the Refund Policy. You agree to pay all applicable fees, taxes, and charges. We may change prices or availability at any time.

5. Intellectual Property

Everything in the Bendy franchise, such as games, characters, art, music, stories, and more, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You can't use our IP except as allowed in these Terms or our Fan Content Policy for fan creations.

If you submit content like feedback or ideas through the services, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to use it in any way, with no compensation to you.

If you believe any user‑generated or website content infringes your copyright, please send a notice to our Designated Agent at dmca@joeydrewstudios.com.

• Your name, address, phone number, and email;

• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good‑faith belief the use is unauthorized; and

We will respond promptly by removing or disabling access to the material and, where required, notify the content poster so they may submit a counter‑notice.

6. User-Generated Content

If our services allow you to upload or share content, such as comments or in-game creations, you retain ownership but grant us a license to host, display, and use it to operate the services. Your content must not be illegal, infringing, or harmful. We may remove it at any time and aren't responsible for it.

For fan art, mods, or other creations, please follow our Fan Content Policy.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Our services may include links to third-party sites, ads, or platforms like game stores on Steam, Apple, Google, and others. These have their own terms and privacy policies. We're not responsible for them. Use at your own risk.

8. Termination

We can suspend or terminate your account or access to services at any time, for any reason like violations, without notice or liability. Upon termination, your license ends, and you must stop using the services. Sections that should survive, like IP, disclaimers, and limitations, will.

9. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee they'll be error-free, secure, or always available. Use at your own risk.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the services, even if advised of the possibility. Our total liability won't exceed $100 or what you paid us in the last 12 months, whichever is greater.

We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, lost profits, or loss of data arising out of your use of (or inability to use) the Site or products. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you.

13. Miscellaneous
