Terms of Service
Effective 2026-07-11 · Flotillas Adrift (flotillasadrift.com)
The deal
Flotillas Adrift is a free browser strategy game. There's no purchase, no subscription, and no paid tier of any kind. By playing, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the game — it's that simple, there's no account you're forced to have (see Accounts).
Accounts
You can play with a real account (Google or email sign-in, syncing your flotilla to the cloud) or entirely locally with no account at all, depending on how the build you're using is configured — see the Privacy Policy for the details of each mode. You're responsible for keeping your own sign-in credentials secure. Don't impersonate another player, staff, or an in-game system entity, and don't use a name that violates the content rules below — the game will reject reserved and blocked names, but circumventing that is still a violation.
Conduct & content rules
Names, messages, alliance documents, and other player-authored text are run through a profanity and content filter, and some are additionally subject to human review (custom flag images, for example, are approved or rejected by an admin before they can be displayed). Regardless of what the filter catches automatically, you agree not to:
- Post or upload content that is hateful, harassing, obscene, illegal, or infringes someone else's rights;
- Impersonate another player, an admin, or an in-game system sender;
- Attempt to exploit, cheat, or interfere with the game's systems, other players' accounts, or the shared multiplayer data (alliances, messages, the public leaderboard, etc.) beyond ordinary gameplay;
- Automate play in a way that degrades the service for other players, or attempt to access another account without authorization.
We may remove content, reject a submission (such as a flag image), or suspend or terminate an account for violating these rules — see Suspension & termination.
Your content & our license
You keep ownership of whatever you create in the game — your nation/commander names, your custom flag image (once approved), your messages, and any alliance charters or documents you post. By submitting or posting that content, you grant Flotillas Adrift a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, display, and transmit it as part of the ordinary operation of the game — including showing it to other players where the feature is designed to be visible (your flag, nation name, public alliance documents, the shared news wall, and similar public-by-design surfaces described in the Privacy Policy). This license exists only so the game can function; we don't use your content for anything outside the game.
No warranty
Flotillas Adrift is provided "as is" and "as available," with no warranties of any kind, express or implied — including no guarantee that the game, your save data, or any multiplayer feature will be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or preserved indefinitely. This is an actively-developed hobby/indie project; balance, mechanics, and features can change, and (while we take reasonable care and cloud saves are backed by Google Firebase) we can't promise your progress will never be lost. Play accordingly — don't treat your flotilla as something irreplaceable.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Flotillas Adrift and its operator are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the game, including loss of save data or in-game progress. Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the game is to stop using it.
Suspension & termination
We may suspend or remove an account, message, name, alliance, or piece of uploaded content — with or without notice — for violating the conduct rules above, abusing the service, or for security reasons. You can also delete your own data at any time; see the Deleting your data section of the Privacy Policy for exactly what the in-app reset does and how to request full removal.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the game evolves. Meaningful changes will update the effective date above; continuing to play after a change means you accept the update.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, to the extent applicable to a free, non-commercial browser game with no payments or formal registered business terms in force.
