Bower

Terms of Service

Last updated: May 20, 2026

These are the terms for using Bower (bower.cards), operated by Holy Schmitt Studios LLC. By playing the game, creating an account, or joining a table, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use Bower.

Who can use Bower

You need to be at least 13 years old. If you're under 13, please ask a parent or guardian before using Bower.

If you create an account with Google sign-in, you confirm that the account info you provide is yours and is accurate.

Acceptable use

Be a decent person:

  • Don't harass, threaten, or impersonate other players.
  • Don't cheat or exploit bugs to gain an unfair advantage.
  • Don't try to break the game, the server, or other players' experiences.
  • Don't use the service to do anything illegal.

If you do any of those things, we can suspend or remove your access without warning.

Your account

If you sign in, you're responsible for what happens on your account. Use a strong Google password. Don't share access.

You can delete your account anytime by emailing us. We'll wipe your profile within 30 days.

What we provide

Bower is provided “as is”. We do our best to keep it up and working, but:

  • We don't guarantee zero downtime.
  • We don't guarantee your data won't ever be lost (though we back it up).
  • We don't guarantee fairness in matchmaking or bot behavior.

If something breaks, we'll fix it as fast as we reasonably can.

What we're not liable for

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Holy Schmitt Studios LLC isn't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of Bower. Our total liability is capped at $100, or the amount you paid us (currently $0 — Bower is free).

This isn't us trying to weasel out — it's standard for free online services.

Changes to these terms

We can update these terms. If we make material changes, we'll announce them on the homepage and update the “Last updated” date.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
