Banners & Blades terms of service
The rules for playing Banners & Blades, a game by Lumvre LLC (“Lumvre”, “we”). By playing, you agree to them. Last updated October 2026.
1. The game
Banners & Blades is a free-to-play online strategy game: you build a base, train an army, raid other players and join a clan. It needs an internet connection. We keep improving it, so buildings, troops, prices, events and balance can change, and features can be added or removed.
2. Your account
- You sign in with a Google or Apple account. Keep that account secure: whoever controls it controls your game account. (During early testing, some accounts were tied to a phone instead.)
- You must be at least 13 years old to play. If you're under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms.
- One game account per person. Don't share, sell, buy or trade accounts, and don't use someone else's.
- The commander name you choose must follow the chat rules below; we may change a name that doesn't.
3. Gems, items and purchases
- Gems, gold, iron, troops, scrolls, cosmetics and everything else in the game are virtual items. We give you a personal, limited license to use them in the game. They aren't real money or property, have no cash value, and can't be sold, traded or exchanged for money or anything outside the game.
- Every offer shows exactly what you get before you buy. Nothing we sell is random, we never sell shields, and cosmetics never change how a battle plays.
- Purchases are made through the App Store or Google Play and follow their terms. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies; when a purchase is refunded, we take back what it gave if you still have it.
- If you're missing something you bought, contact us at support@lumvre.com with the receipt and we'll put it right.
4. Fair play
Don't:
- cheat, or use bots, scripts, modified apps or anything that automates play or gives an unfair advantage;
- exploit bugs (report them to us instead), or interfere with the game, its servers or other players' accounts;
- copy, reverse engineer or resell any part of the game, except where the law allows it;
- use the game for anything illegal.
The server checks raid results, and accounts whose results don't add up may be left out of rankings while we look into it.
5. Chat and clans
Be respectful. No harassment, threats, hate, sexual content, strong profanity, spam, scams or links, and don't share personal information (yours or anyone's). You're responsible for what you post. Chat is filtered, and you can report messages and block players. We review reports and may remove messages and stop an account from posting. Clan leaders run their clans within these rules.
6. What we can do if the rules are broken
Depending on what happened, we may warn you, mute your chat, remove items gained unfairly, reset progress, or suspend or close your account. We'll explain why if you ask. If you think we got it wrong, write to us and we'll take another look.
7. Leaving the game
You can stop playing at any time and delete your account. Deletion is permanent: your progress, items and purchases can't be restored. If we ever shut the game down, we'll announce it in the game at least 30 days ahead and stop selling gems and packs when we announce it.
8. Your privacy
What we store and why is explained in our privacy policy.
9. Ownership
The game, its art, music, names and code belong to Lumvre or its licensors. Banners & Blades and Lumvre are our names; please don't use them in a way that suggests we endorse something. You may share screenshots and videos of your play.
10. No warranty
The game is provided “as is” and “as available”. We work to keep it running and fair, but we don't promise it will always be available, free of bugs, or that progress can never be lost.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Lumvre LLC and its affiliates aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data or profits, arising from the game. Our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring them there.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We'll change the date above and, for important changes, tell you in the game first. Playing after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.
14. Apple
If you got the game from the App Store: these terms are between you and Lumvre, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the game and isn't responsible for claims about it. Apple and its subsidiaries may enforce these terms as third-party beneficiaries.
