Welcome to The Freak Circus at https://freakcircus.io/ (the "Website"). These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are an agreement between The Freak Circus ("we", "us", "our") and you, the person visiting the Website or playing games on it ("User", "you", "your").
The Freak Circus provides a free, web-based gaming platform (the "Platform"). By accessing the Website, playing games on the Platform, or otherwise using any part of the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any of these conditions, please do not use the Website.
The Platform is intended for users who are thirteen (13) years of age or older, or the applicable minimum age in your country. If you are under that age, please use the Website only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
We may update or modify these Terms at any time. Changes take effect when posted on this page. Your continued use of the Website after a change means you accept the updated Terms, so please check back periodically.
The Freak Circus is a free online gaming portal. Our goal is to make browser games fast, accessible, and playable anywhere with no installation, no downloads, and no sign-ups. We also give indie developers a place to share their games and reach as many players as possible.
You can play every game on the Platform without creating an account. The Freak Circus does not require registration and does not itself collect, store, or sell personal information from players.
The Website does use third-party services that may collect data through cookies or similar technologies, including Google Analytics (traffic measurement), Google AdSense (advertising), and games embedded from third-party developers or distributors. These services are governed by their own privacy policies. See our Privacy Policy for details and for information on how to manage cookies.
Provided you comply with these Terms, The Freak Circus grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access the Platform and play the games on it for your personal, non-commercial use.
Except for this limited right, The Freak Circus and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in the Website, the Platform, and all associated intellectual property. You may not reproduce, copy, sell, resell, scrape, or otherwise exploit any part of the Website or Platform without our express written consent, and you may not reuse the Website's visual design elements.
You may record, upload, livestream, and monetize videos featuring gameplay or screenshots from games on the Platform ("Gaming Content"), provided that:
We reserve the right to take action against Gaming Content we believe is unlawful, infringing, or inconsistent with these Terms.
You are responsible for your own activity on the Website. You agree not to:
We strive to provide a fast, stable, and reliable Website. However, games and services may occasionally be unavailable due to server maintenance or technical problems. We may also suspend or permanently remove any game or service at any time, for any reason, without notice. We are not liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience you suffer as a result of a game or service becoming temporarily or permanently unavailable.
The Website contains links to, and content embedded from, third-party websites and services, including games served from third-party developers and distributors and advertisements served by Google AdSense and its partners. We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their content, products, services, data practices, or availability. Your use of any third-party website or service is at your own risk and subject to that third party's own terms.
If you purchase a product or service from a third party, The Freak Circus is not a party to that transaction and is not liable for any costs or damages arising from it.
The Freak Circus does not sell in-game items or services. Some games on the Platform may offer purchases through their own developers or publishers. Any such purchase is between you and that third party. Please read their terms and refund policy before buying. We accept no liability for those purchases.
Unless otherwise indicated, all logos, names, and marks appearing on the Website are trademarks of The Freak Circus or of the respective game developers, publishers, and partners. Any use or misuse of these marks is strictly prohibited.
Where the Website provides an "Embed" button for a game, other websites may embed that game using the provided iframe code, subject to the following:
The Freak Circus may withdraw embedding permission or block any site from embedding games at any time, at its sole discretion, without notice or justification.
The Freak Circus aggregates and presents browser games from across the web, including indie games made freely available by their developers, open source games, demos and promotional samples distributed by rights holders, games embedded from third-party distributors under partner arrangements, and classic or retro titles that are no longer commercially circulated.
A portion of this content, particularly classic, archived, and out-of-circulation titles, is offered in good-faith reliance on the doctrine of fair use under Section 107 of the United States Copyright Act, and on comparable principles of fair dealing, preservation, and cultural archiving recognized in other jurisdictions. Our use of such material is intended to serve educational, historical, archival, and cultural-preservation purposes, and in many cases no other lawful means of access remains.
We do not claim ownership of third-party intellectual property. All trademarks, copyrights, characters, and other proprietary materials remain the property of their respective owners. Where games are embedded from third parties, the underlying content is hosted, served, and controlled by those third parties, and the rights and terms applicable to that content are governed by their respective providers.
The Freak Circus respects the rights of creators and copyright holders. Most games on the Website are submitted or suggested by their creators or by users, and many include the developer's website, social media, or app store links. We may not be able to verify that every game respects all third-party rights.
If you are a rights holder and believe that content hosted on or embedded through the Website infringes your rights, or if you would prefer your work not appear on The Freak Circus for any reason, please email us at [email protected]. We respond promptly to valid notices and will remove, restrict, or replace content upon a good-faith request from a verified rights holder.
To help us process a DMCA claim, please include:
We aim to process complete and valid removal requests within 7 working days.
Developers and users are welcome to suggest games by emailing a link, embed code, or game file link to [email protected]. Not all submissions are accepted. You may not submit any content that:
THE WEBSITE, THE PLATFORM, AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE FREAK CIRCUS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE OR PLATFORM WILL BE AVAILABLE, UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY CONTENT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR PURPOSES.
You are responsible for taking appropriate precautions, including antivirus software, when using the Internet.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE FREAK CIRCUS AND ITS OWNERS, OPERATORS, PARTNERS, LICENSORS, CONTRACTORS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING FROM: (I) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE WEBSITE OR PLATFORM; (II) ANY THIRD-PARTY CONDUCT OR CONTENT ON THE PLATFORM; (III) ANY CONTENT OBTAINED FROM THE PLATFORM; (IV) ANY ACTION TAKEN IN CONNECTION WITH AN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIM; (V) ANY SECURITY BREACH, VIRUS, BUG, TAMPERING, ERROR, DELAY, OR MALFUNCTION AFFECTING YOUR DEVICE OR DATA; OR (VI) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR MODIFICATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE PLATFORM IS FREE TO USE, AND THESE LIMITATIONS REFLECT THAT.
If you send us feedback, suggestions, ideas, or other information ("Feedback"), you grant us the right to use that Feedback for any purpose, free of charge and without obligation to you. Feedback will be treated as non-confidential.
The Freak Circus operates only at freakcircus.io. Any other website or social media account using the name "The Freak Circus" is not operated by us unless clearly linked from this Website.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full effect. Our failure to enforce any right under these Terms is not a waiver of that right.
