haze.motes.org
Terms of Service
Effective date: September 27, 2026
haze.motes.org is an art project: a set of small pieces, some of them games, that keep changing. These terms are short because there is not much to agree to.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By using haze.motes.org (including its mirror at motes.org/haze), you agree to these Terms of Service and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
2. Accounts
You do not need an account for anything here. If you choose to sign in, you do so with a The5 account, which is shared with other motes.org and Hoofprint Games properties (The5, Herdle, Price Check and TurdQuest). You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for what happens under your account. New accounts are made at The5, under The5's own terms.
3. Acceptable Use
- Do not try to access or change anyone else's account, place or data.
- Do not flood, script against, or tamper with the site's services, including the anonymous counts.
- Do not try to break into the parts of the site that are not public.
4. Content Ownership
The pieces, their words, images, sounds and code are the artist's work. You are welcome to play them, share links to them, and share screenshots or recordings of your own play for non-commercial purposes. Please do not copy or republish the pieces themselves.
Your choices in a game are yours. The only thing kept of them, beyond your own browser, is your online place (if you sign in) and anonymous totals that include no one.
5. Things Change
This is a working studio, not a product. Pieces may change, move, be rewritten, or disappear, and a saved place may not survive a large change to its piece. Keep your own copy of anything you would miss (Bearings → Keep your place).
6. Disclaimers
haze.motes.org is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site. Some pieces are about difficult things; they are meant to be sat with, not to advise.
7. Termination
We may suspend access for anyone who breaks these terms, at our discretion.
8. Changes to Terms
We may update these terms at any time. Changes take effect when posted here with a new effective date.
