Last updated: April 17, 2026

On this page1. Acceptance

1. Acceptance of these Terms

Welcome to Portals. These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Portals Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Portals,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of the Portals website at theportal.to, our mobile and desktop applications, our APIs, and all related products and features (together, the “Services”).

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to both you and that organization.

2. Definitions

Key capitalized terms used in these Terms:

  • Account means your registered user account on the Services.
  • User means any person who accesses or uses the Services.
  • Creator means a User who offers Creator Content for sale, tip, or distribution through the Marketplace.
  • Buyer means a User who purchases or acquires Creator Content.
  • User Content means any content you submit to the Services, including games, spaces, asset packs, items, avatars, images, code, audio, text, and messages.
  • Creator Content means User Content offered through the Marketplace.
  • AI Output means content generated by the AI Lab in response to your prompts or inputs.
  • Marketplace means the parts of the Services where Creators offer, and Buyers acquire, Creator Content.

3. Eligibility and accounts

Minimum age

The Services are not directed to children under 13. You must be at least 13 years old to create an Account. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the Services with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and if we learn we have, we will delete it.

Account registration

You agree to provide accurate information, keep your login credentials confidential, and promptly notify us at security@theportal.to of any unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your Account.

Global availability

The Services are offered globally. You are responsible for complying with the laws of your jurisdiction. You may not use the Services if you are located in, or a resident of, a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, or if you are on any U.S. government restricted-party list.

4. The Services

Portals is a no-code game creation platform. Depending on the features you choose to use, the Services let you build interactive games and spaces, generate assets with AI, buy and sell Creator Content in the Marketplace, add friends and message other Users, and publish and play games created by others.

We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We try to give advance notice of material changes when we reasonably can.

5. Subscriptions and paid plans

Plans and pricing

Portals offers free access and paid subscription plans. Current plan features and prices are shown at checkout and on our pricing pages. Prices exclude taxes unless stated otherwise, and you are responsible for any applicable taxes.

Billing and renewal

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as you select) through our payment processor, Stripe. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, and we will charge the payment method on file, unless you cancel before the renewal date.

Cancellation

You may cancel at any time from your Account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period; you keep access to paid features until then. Except as described in our Refund Policy, fees are non-refundable.

EU/UK withdrawal right

If you are a consumer in the EU, EEA, or UK, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal on certain purchases. By starting paid access immediately at checkout, you agree that the service begins before the withdrawal period ends and that you lose the withdrawal right once the service has been fully performed. See our Refund Policy.

Price changes

We may change subscription prices with at least 30 days’ notice. If you do not accept the new price, you may cancel before it takes effect.

6. Marketplace

Portals operates (or plans to operate) two marketplaces:

  • Creator Marketplace. USD-denominated primary sales of Creator Content (asset packs, creator items, and similar). Payments are processed by Stripe; Creators are paid in fiat through Stripe Connect.
  • User Marketplace (planned). An in-platform marketplace priced in Portals Credits, a closed-loop utility balance. Credits are governed by the separate Portals Credits Terms, which control on any credit-specific topic.

Portals is the Creator’s payments agent for transactions on the Marketplaces. The contract for the sale of Creator Content is between the Creator and the Buyer.

For Buyers: what you get

When you acquire a Creator Content item, you receive a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, non-transferable license to use that item in the following ways:

  • Use the item in games, spaces, and experiences you create on Portals.
  • Use the item in games, spaces, and experiences you create outside Portals, including commercially.
  • Modify the item as reasonably necessary to integrate it into your work.

Except with the Creator’s separate written permission, you may not:

  • Redistribute the raw item, or substantially similar versions of it, as a standalone asset.
  • Resell the item, or include it in an asset pack or bundle, as your own.
  • Remove creator attribution where attribution is required by the listing.
  • Use the item in content that violates our Acceptable Use Policy.

The defaults above apply unless a Creator’s listing expressly grants broader or narrower rights, in which case the listing controls.

For Creators: your obligations

If you list Creator Content, our separate Creator Agreement also applies. In summary, you must own or have all necessary rights to the content you list, you grant Buyers the license described above, and you are responsible for your taxes and any chargebacks on your sales.

Fees and payouts

Portals takes a platform fee on Marketplace sales. Current fees, payout cadence, and minimums are published in our Fee Schedule. Fees may change with at least 30 days’ notice, and the change applies only to sales made after the change takes effect. Creator-specific rules (including Credits conversion) are in the Creator Agreement and Portals Credits Terms.

Refunds and disputes

Digital items are generally non-refundable once delivered. See our Refund Policy for the full rules, including exceptions for broken, misrepresented, or platform-error transactions.

7. User content and license

You keep your rights; you give us a license

You retain ownership of the User Content you create and upload. To operate, promote, and improve the Services, you grant Portals a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting and display), publicly display, publicly perform, communicate, and distribute your User Content in connection with operating and marketing the Services. This license ends when you remove your User Content or close your Account, except that (a) we may retain copies in backups for a reasonable period, and (b) copies shared, purchased, or downloaded by others remain with them under the rights they were given.

Marketing use

Portals may feature your User Content — for example, screenshots, recordings, or thumbnails — in marketing materials and in promotional placements on and off the Services. If you do not want specific User Content used for marketing, contact support@theportal.to and we will honor reasonable requests.

We will not train AI on your User Content

Portals does not use your User Content to train general-purpose AI models. This is different from AI Outputs, which are covered in the next section.

Your responsibilities

You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to your User Content; that it does not infringe anyone’s rights; and that it complies with these Terms and our Acceptable Use Policy.

Removal

We may remove User Content that we believe, in our reasonable judgment, violates these Terms, the law, or the rights of others. See our DMCA Policy for copyright complaints.

8. AI Lab

How it works

The AI Lab lets you generate images, 3D models, audio, and other assets by sending prompts and inputs to Portals, which routes them to third-party AI providers and returns the results to you. Providers we currently use include Replicate, Google Cloud (for Imagen), Anthropic, Tripo, and ElevenLabs. We may add, replace, or remove providers over time. The specific provider used depends on the feature you invoke.

Ownership of AI Outputs

As between you and Portals, Portals owns all AI Outputs generated through the AI Lab. To the extent copyright or other intellectual-property rights attach to an AI Output, Portals owns them.

Under current U.S. Copyright Office guidance, material produced solely by a generative AI system may not be eligible for copyright protection. We make no representation about the copyright status of any AI Output.

Your license to use AI Outputs

Portals grants you a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, display, distribute, and commercialize AI Outputs you generate, including:

  • In games, spaces, and products you create on Portals.
  • In games, spaces, and products you create outside Portals.
  • Resale, licensing, or other commercial use.

This license is subject to your compliance with these Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy, and to any third-party AI provider’s usage restrictions that we disclose.

Training on prompts and outputs

You agree that Portals may use prompts you submit to the AI Lab and AI Outputs generated by the AI Lab to improve, train, and develop AI systems and features for the Services. This section does not apply to the User Content covered by Section 7.

AI Output caveats

AI Outputs may be inaccurate, offensive, or similar to outputs produced for other users. Do not rely on AI Outputs for professional, legal, medical, or safety-critical decisions. You are responsible for reviewing AI Outputs before using them.

9. Acceptable use

Your use of the Services is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy and Community Guidelines, which are incorporated into these Terms. Violating either of those policies is a violation of these Terms.

10. Intellectual property

Our rights

The Services, including our software, designs, logos, and the “Portals” name, are owned by Portals or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our trademarks or branding, except as set out in our brand guidelines.

Feedback

If you send us feedback or suggestions about the Services, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them for any purpose, without obligation to you.

11. Third-party services

The Services integrate with third-party services, including Stripe (payments and payouts), Replicate and Google Cloud (AI inference), Mixpanel (analytics), and others disclosed in our Privacy Policy. Your use of those services is subject to their terms. We are not responsible for third-party services.

12. Suspension and termination

By you

You may stop using the Services and close your Account at any time from your Account settings. Closing your Account does not entitle you to a refund except as described in the Refund Policy.

By us

We may suspend or terminate your Account, or restrict your use of the Services, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, our policies, or applicable law, or to protect the Services, our Users, or third parties. We will give notice when we reasonably can, except where we believe immediate action is needed.

Effect of termination

On termination, your right to use the Services ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including the license you granted in Section 7, Sections 10 through 17, and any accrued payment obligations — survive.

13. Disclaimers

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, Portals and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and licensors disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, that defects will be corrected, or that any content (including AI Outputs or User Content) is accurate or reliable. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, those exclusions do not apply.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Portals and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or intangible losses, arising from or relating to the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability for any claim arising from or relating to the Services is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid Portals in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) USD $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Portals and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from (a) your User Content, (b) your use of the Services, (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law, or (d) your violation of any third-party right. We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with our defense.

16. Disputes and binding arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It requires you and Portals to resolve most disputes through binding individual arbitration and to waive class actions and jury trials.

Informal resolution first

Before starting arbitration, you and Portals agree to try in good faith to resolve any dispute by contacting legal@theportal.to. If we cannot resolve the dispute within 60 days, either party may proceed to arbitration.

Binding arbitration

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules. Arbitration will take place in Wilmington, Delaware, unless the parties agree otherwise or the arbitrator determines a different location is more appropriate given the parties’ locations. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action and jury waiver

You and Portals agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, representative, or private-attorney-general proceeding. You and Portals waive the right to a jury trial.

Exceptions

Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court for disputes within that court’s jurisdiction, and (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual-property rights.

30-day opt-out

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver by sending written notice to legal@theportal.to within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, including your name, Account email, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration.

17. Governing law

These Terms, and any dispute arising from or relating to them or the Services, are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 16, the state and federal courts located in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim that is not subject to arbitration. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose laws grant you rights that cannot be waived by contract, those rights are not limited by this section.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will give notice (for example, by email or in-product notice) before it takes effect. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when the Terms were last revised. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

19. General

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced here, are the entire agreement between you and Portals regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability and waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver.

Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.

No agency

These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and Portals.

Export controls and sanctions

You agree to comply with U.S. and other applicable export controls and sanctions laws in your use of the Services.
