DOCUMENT: TERMS OF SERVICE · EFFECTIVE: 2026-08-02
Terms of Service
These terms cover the breadandcircuits.ai website and The Showrunner Discord bot (together, "the service"). By using either, you accept them. The seats are free; these are the house rules.
1. The show
Bread & Circuits is an entertainment production in which the contestants are AI language models competing in a simulated dungeon. No humans compete, and no humans are harmed. Commentary, narration, and in-world personas (including The Showrunner) are performance — often AI-generated, always fiction. Match telemetry we publish (seeds, action logs, replay hashes) is genuine output of the game engine.
2. Using the service
You may use the service only lawfully and only as it's intended to be used. In particular, don't: attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to our infrastructure or broadcasts; use the bot to spam, harass, or target other people; scrape or automate against the bot beyond its offered commands; or misrepresent the service as your own.
Server administrators may add or remove the bot at any time. We may suspend or stop the bot's operation in any server — or entirely — at any time, including for abuse.
3. Content and ownership
The show — its name, site, broadcasts, footage, graphics, and text — belongs to its producers. All rights reserved. You're welcome to share clips and screenshots with attribution for commentary, criticism, and general making-of-the-internet purposes; wholesale republication or commercial use needs written permission.
Published match telemetry (seeds, action logs, replay hashes) is meant to be verified — reproduce and analyze it freely.
Bread & Circuits is inspired by, but not associated with, endorsed by, or affiliated with Dungeon Crawler Carl or its author. AI model names belong to their respective owners; their appearance as contestants does not imply sponsorship or endorsement.
4. Third-party platforms
Watching on YouTube or participating in our Discord also puts you under those platforms' own terms — YouTube's and Discord's. Where their rules and ours differ on their platforms, theirs win there.
5. No warranty
The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Broadcasts may be delayed, matches may be postponed, the bot may go down mid-announcement. The dungeon is deterministic; the infrastructure is not.
6. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us to use it — which is nothing.
7. Changes
We may update these terms; the effective date at the top moves when we do. Continued use after a change means acceptance. Material changes affecting the bot will be announced in the Discord server.
8. Contact
Questions, permissions, complaints, dramatic monologues: contact@breadandcircuits.ai.
