The agreement

Terms of Service

By creating an account or subscribing to Markbound, you agree to the terms below.

Last updated 15 September 2026 · Generative Studio, the Netherlands

1. Who you're dealing with

Markbound is operated by Generative Studio (Ata Akıllıoğlu), registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under KvK 42039817. Business contact address: Professor Cobbenhagenlaan 9, Room 7.03, 5037 DA Tilburg, Netherlands. Contact: ataakillioglu@generative-studio.nl.

2. Early access

Markbound provides a fantasy role-playing journal, character tools, dice, oracles and optional online AI narration. It is in active early access, so features may change. We will not remove mandatory consumer protections or accrued rights by calling the service early access.

3. Your account

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

We may restrict accounts to address abuse and will explain why where lawful and practicable. These restrictions do not remove rights under an open-source or Creative Commons licence or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

5. Subscriptions and payment

Withdrawal and refunds

Consumers normally have a 14-day right of withdrawal from a distance contract for a service, starting when the contract is concluded. Missing required information can extend that period. You do not need to give a reason.

To withdraw, email us or send a clear statement to the business contact address before the applicable period expires. Cancelling renewal and exercising a right of withdrawal are separate actions.

You may copy this withdrawal form into an email or letter. Using the form is optional; a clear statement of your decision is enough. Delete whichever alternatives do not apply.

To: Generative Studio, Professor Cobbenhagenlaan 9, Room 7.03, 5037 DA Tilburg, Netherlands, ataakillioglu@generative-studio.nl.

I/We hereby give notice that I/We withdraw from my/our contract for the sale of the following goods / provision of the following service: [Markbound purchase or service].

Ordered on / received on: [date].

Name of consumer(s): [name]. Address of consumer(s): [address].

Signature of consumer(s), only if this form is sent on paper: [signature].

Date: [date].

Simply using narration does not, by itself, waive your right. Charging for service supplied during the withdrawal period or loss of a withdrawal right requires the applicable legal conditions, including any necessary prior express request, consent and acknowledgment. If a paid feature is unavailable, contact us about restoring service or an appropriate refund or other remedy.

Where withdrawal entitles you to reimbursement, it must be made without undue delay and within the applicable statutory deadline, normally 14 days after notice, using the original payment method unless you expressly agree otherwise and without a reimbursement fee. Any legally permitted deduction must be explained.

6. Your content

Your characters, sagas and journal entries are yours. You grant us a limited licence to store and process them to run the service, including sending the relevant slice to AI model providers when you request a Narrator response. See our AI Disclosure. We will not sell your content or use it to train models ourselves. The AI disclosure explains provider processing and a correction to our previous statement about third-party training.

7. Our work and licensed material

Rights in Markbound's original code, presentation and branding belong to their respective owners. Markbound also adapts licensed material; it does not claim all oracle, move or character-option text is original.

This work is based on Ironsworn, created by Shawn Tomkin, and includes adaptations of material made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). See Licences and credits for source credits and modifications. The Creative Commons licence continues to apply to that material, and these service terms do not restrict rights you have directly under CC BY 4.0. Markbound is not affiliated with or endorsed by Shawn Tomkin.

8. AI output

Narrator responses are produced by third-party AI models. Output may be inaccurate, repetitive, or unsuitable. It is not professional advice. Dice and oracle outcomes are generated client-side with cryptographic randomness and are authoritative; the AI supplies narration and story suggestions.

9. Liability

Each party is responsible under applicable law for its obligations. Nothing excludes liability or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, including mandatory consumer protections, data rights and liability for intentional misconduct.

10. Termination

You can delete your account at any time from your account settings, or by emailing us at ataakillioglu@generative-studio.nl. Save an export first if you want your game records. Deletion is different from withdrawal and does not remove valid refund claims or records we must retain by law.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Consumers keep the mandatory protections and courts available in their country of residence. Send complaints to the contact above with enough information to identify the issue; do not send passwords or full card details.

12. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced by email or in-app at least 14 days before they take effect, unless a legal or urgent security requirement requires a different timetable. Changes do not retrospectively remove accrued rights.
