Intellectual Property

The intellectual property in the materials contained in Bad Cards is owned by or licensed to Good Cards and protected by applicable copyright and trademark law. Good Cards grant its users permission to download one copy of the materials for personal, non-commercial transitory use.

This constitutes the grant of a license, not a transfer of title. This license shall automatically terminate if The Customer violates any of these restrictions or the Terms of Service, and may be terminated by Good Cards at any time.

Content You Create

“Your content” means anything you write, upload or submit in Bad Cards, including:

custom answers;
custom cards and packs;
reasons you give for a pick;
other text you enter in a game.

You keep ownership. We never claim ownership of your content.

The license you give us. You give Good Cards, LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable license to use, copy, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works from, publish, display and distribute your content. This covers:

running, showing and promoting Bad Cards and our other products;
improving our games and building new products;
research;
commercial use; and
training, developing and evaluating machine-learning models.

This license applies to content you submit on or after October 16, 2026. Content you submitted earlier stays under the license in the Terms that applied when you submitted it.

After you delete it. You can delete your custom cards and packs, or your account, at any time. Because the license is perpetual, it continues after deletion. When we use your content after you delete your account, it is no longer linked to your name, email or logins, apart from the few exceptions our Privacy Policy lists.

Your privacy. We follow our Privacy Policy when we use your content. In particular:

answers and other text you type are only included in gameplay data we share or license if you have told us you are 18 or older and have not turned off Gameplay data, and never with your name, email or account ID;
we never license content from players under 18.

Your promise. You confirm that you have the right to give us this license, and that your content does not break anyone else’s rights or our Acceptable Use Policy.

Gameplay Data

When you play, we collect gameplay data, such as your picks, votes, answers, timing, and device and platform information. We use it to run and improve Bad Cards and for research. We may share or license de-identified or aggregated gameplay data with partners, including for developing and evaluating machine-learning models. We do not sell your name, email or contact details. You can turn off Gameplay data in settings, or email [email protected]. The details and your rights are in our Privacy Policy.

In no event shall Good Cards or its suppliers be liable for any consequential loss suffered or incurred by The Customer or any third party arising from the use or inability to use Bad Cards or the materials on Bad Cards, even if Good Cards or an authorized representative has been notified, orally or in writing, of the possibility of such damage.
