Last updated: December 25, 2025
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Astounding Cards ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.
2. Description of Service
Astounding Cards is a hobby and community project providing a web-based application that allows users to create, design, and manage custom cards for tabletop RPGs, board games, and other creative projects. The Service includes:
- Card and deck creation tools
- AI-powered card and image generation
- Image upload and hosting
- Publishing and sharing of decks
- Community gallery features
3. User Accounts
To access certain features, you must create an account using Google authentication. You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the security of your account
- All activities that occur under your account
- Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use
4. User Content
Your Responsibilities
You are solely responsible for the content you create, upload, or share through the Service. You agree not to:
- Upload or share content that infringes on intellectual property rights
- Post illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, or offensive content
- Impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
Content Ownership
You retain ownership of the content you create. By publishing content to the public gallery, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide license to display and distribute that content through the Service.
Content Moderation
We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these terms or is otherwise objectionable, without notice.
5. AI-Generated Content
The Service uses AI technology (Google Gemini) to generate cards and images. You acknowledge that:
- AI-generated content may not always be accurate or appropriate
- You are responsible for reviewing and editing AI-generated content before use
- AI generation consumes tokens from your account balance
- We do not guarantee the quality or suitability of AI-generated content
Community Image Library
Important: Astounding Cards is a community-driven service. By using AI image generation features, you agree that:
- All images generated through our AI tools become part of the Astounding Community Image Library
- These images become publicly accessible to all members of the community for use in their decks
- This sharing model helps reduce costs and fosters a collaborative creative environment
- You retain ownership of your specific card designs, but generated images are shared resources
- Do not generate images containing personal, private, or sensitive information
If you require exclusive, private images, you may upload your own images instead of using the AI generation features.
6. Tokens and Payments
Nature of Service
Astounding Cards is a hobby and community project. Revenue from token purchases primarily covers operational costs (AI API fees, hosting, storage). We do not guarantee profits or commercial viability.
Token Purchases
Some features require tokens, which are consumed when using AI generation features:

- All purchases are final and non-refundable
- Tokens are a digital service delivered immediately upon purchase
- Once tokens are consumed (used for AI generation), they cannot be restored
- Unused tokens remain in your account unless the service is discontinued
Service Discontinuation
As a hobby project, we reserve the right to discontinue the Service or specific features (including token purchases) at any time:

- Unused tokens may be refunded at our discretion if the service shuts down
