5. Intellectual Property — Third-Party Game Content

This section governs your use of third-party TTRPG intellectual property within the Service. It is among the most important provisions of these Terms.

5.1 No Affiliation or Endorsement. Dicey.CC is an independent tool. We are not endorsed by or in partnership with the publishers or rights holders of any TTRPG system unless explicitly stated in a separate, current licensing disclosure. Any use of game system names, mechanics, or terminology is done pursuant to applicable open or limited licenses, or constitutes nominative fair use solely for the purpose of identifying compatibility.

5.2 Supported Game Systems and Licensing. Where the Service supports content derived from specific game systems, such support is provided only to the extent permitted by the applicable publisher license (e.g., an open game license, fan content policy, or commercial partnership agreement). Users are responsible for independently verifying whether their intended use of any game content complies with the relevant publisher's licensing terms.

5.3 Prohibited Content — Copyrighted Reproductions. You must not use the Service to reproduce, distribute, transmit, publish, display, or create derivative works from any copyrighted TTRPG material without express written authorization from the rights holder. Prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to:

• Entering, uploading, or storing verbatim or substantially reproduced text from rulebooks, sourcebooks, adventure modules, or supplements protected by copyright;
• Reproducing stat blocks, spell descriptions, monster entries, equipment tables, or other game content in a manner that would substitute for, or diminish the market for, the original published work;
• Creating character templates, compendium entries, or shared content that replicates paid or proprietary content for distribution to other users;
• Circumventing any content restrictions the Service may impose to limit reproduction of licensed material.

5.4 Prohibited Content — Trademark Infringement. You must not use any trademark, service mark, trade name, or logo owned by a third-party TTRPG publisher in a manner that is likely to cause confusion as to the source, sponsorship, or affiliation of your content, or in any manner not expressly permitted by the trademark owner's fan content or community use policies.

5.5 Prohibited Conduct — Piracy and Unauthorized Distribution. You must not use the Service as a vehicle for software piracy or unauthorized distribution of copyrighted works. Prohibited conduct includes:

• Sharing, linking to, or facilitating access to unauthorized copies ("pirated" copies) of rulebooks, PDFs, or other game materials;
• Using the Service to aggregate or redistribute content in a manner that constitutes an unauthorized compilation or derivative database of copyrighted game material;
• Importing data from sources that the User knows or has reasonable cause to believe constitute infringing copies of a protected work;
• Facilitating, encouraging, or assisting other users in any of the foregoing.
