BriarholdBriarhold Terms of Service
Version 2, effective November 9, 2026
Briarhold is a medieval strategy game run by Nathan Holloway. By creating an account or playing, you agree to these terms.
You must be 13 or older
You may not use Briarhold if you are under 13.
This is a test
Briarhold is in testing. It may change, break or become unavailable at any time. Your account, progress and data can be reset or wiped at any time, for any reason, with or without warning. Nothing lost will be restored or compensated.
Your conduct
You are responsible for your account and for how you behave in the game, including any names you choose. We alone decide what is acceptable, and our decisions are final. These are not allowed:
- Inappropriate names: offensive, sexual or hateful names, or names that pretend to be staff or a real person.
- Harassment or hate toward other players.
- Cheating: knowingly using a bug for gain without reporting it.
- Bots, scripts or automation. The game checks that requests come from the real app (Apple's App Attest) and refuses anything else.
- Multiple accounts for advantage, such as feeding your own kingdom or collecting extra wheel or pass rewards.
- Abusing Report a Player with false or mass reports, or abusing Send Feedback with spam, junk or insulting messages.
- Sharing, selling or buying accounts.
- Evading a ban, for example with another account.
Warnings and bans
Usually we go one step at a time: a warning (for a name, a chance to change it yourself straight away), then a ban of 1 day, then 1 week, then 30 days, and then disabling the account. A ban may cover the whole game, or only Report a Player and Send Feedback. We may also change a name ourselves. For serious cases we may skip steps, up to disabling an account at once. We may warn you, change your names, or restrict, ban or remove your account at any time, for any reason, with or without warning.
We email you when we warn, ban, rename or disable your account. A ban ends by itself at the time we give. While your account is banned you can still sign in, read these terms and delete your account. A banned player's kingdom in a PvP realm stays on the map and can still be attacked. We keep a record of warnings, renames and bans (see the Privacy Policy); deleting your account does not end a ban or clear that record.
No real-money value
Nothing in the game has monetary value or can be exchanged for money.
No warranty
Briarhold is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of it.
Leaving
You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete My Account. It is kept for 90 days in case you change your mind, then deleted for good; or you can delete it permanently at once.
Changes
We may change these terms. We will update this page and its version, and continuing to play means you accept the new terms.
