Terms & Conditions

Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 13 years old to use ISO. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for keeping your password secure, and for all activity that happens under your account. Tell us immediately at jamiesmith413@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for anything illegal or that violates these Terms.
• Scrape, copy, or republish substantial portions of the BoardGameGeek catalog or any ISO-generated content outside the normal use of the app.
• Attempt to access another user’s account, interfere with the Service’s operation, probe for vulnerabilities, or evade rate limits.
• Upload malicious code or content that infringes another person’s rights.
• Use automated tools to create accounts, generate plays, or otherwise manipulate recommendations.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules. For security research, please disclose responsibly via jamiesmith413@gmail.com.

Your content

Play logs, notes, ratings, and collection entries you create are your content. You keep ownership of it. You grant ISO a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, display, and back up that content for the purpose of operating the Service for you, including generating recommendations. You can delete content from within the app, and you can request full account deletion as described in our Privacy Policy.

Game catalog and BoardGameGeek

Game data shown in ISO comes from BoardGameGeek (BGG) under its public XML API terms. BGG owns or licenses that data. ISO is not affiliated with BGG. We attribute BGG in the app footer as required. If you are a rights holder and believe content should not appear in ISO, contact us at jamiesmith413@gmail.com.

Affiliate links and purchases

ISO participates in the Amazon Associates Program and the Miniature Market affiliate program. As an Amazon Associate, ISO earns from qualifying purchases. We may earn a commission when you click a link to a retailer and make a purchase. Affiliate links are direct (we do not cloak or redirect them) and the affiliate tag is visible in the URL. Prices, availability, and the purchase itself are governed by the retailer’s terms, not ours. ISO does not sell products and is not a party to any transaction between you and a retailer.

Recommendations and information accuracy

Recommendations are produced algorithmically from your profile, your play history, and BGG metadata. They are suggestions, not endorsements or guarantees. Game metadata (mechanics, complexity, player counts, ratings) is provided by BGG and may be inaccurate or out of date. Use your own judgment before buying or playing.

Intellectual property

The ISO name, logo, design, code, and original content are owned by ISO and its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to use the ISO name or branding except as needed to use the Service.

Service availability and changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We try to keep the Service available, but it is provided on an as-available basis and may experience downtime, sync delays, or data lag, particularly during BGG outages.

Termination

You can stop using ISO at any time and request account deletion via the contact email below. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if continued operation creates legal or security risk. On termination, sections that by their nature should survive (ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, dispute terms) will remain in effect.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy of recommendations or game data. ISO does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ISO and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, revenue, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service. Our total cumulative liability for any claim related to the Service will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100).

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold ISO harmless from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the current version. If we make material changes, we will notify you in the app or by email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and ISO agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, for any dispute that is not subject to alternate dispute resolution.
