gbsims.com is operated by Gentle Bamboo. GB Sims is our platform of facilitated learning games. Writing to hi@gentlebamboo.com reaches us.
An account is for a facilitator: the person who runs a session. You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your password to yourself. Tell us promptly if you think somebody else has it.
Participants do not need an account. They join a room with a code and a display name of their choosing.
There are three things you can buy.
Credits are spent when you start a session. One session costs the same number of credits regardless of how many people are in the room. Credits do not expire.
A game is added to your account for a one time price. Once added it stays on your account and you can run it as often as you like, spending only credits to do so.
A module is a set of games bought together at a lower price than buying them one at a time. If you already own part of a module, you pay only for the share that is new to you.
Buying a game gives you the right to run it for your own sessions, including sessions you are paid to facilitate. It does not transfer ownership of the game, its content or its materials, and it does not give you the right to resell it, sublicense it, or reproduce its content outside a session you are running.
Prices are shown on gbsims.com in Indian rupees and may change. A change never affects something you have already bought. Taxes are as applicable.
You need a working internet connection, a laptop for the facilitator and a phone per participant. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, and we recommend not scheduling anything you cannot reschedule.
You agree not to attempt to disrupt the service, access other people's accounts or sessions, or extract our game content for use outside the platform.
If a session fails through a fault on our side, write to us and we will return the credits. See the refund policy.
To the extent the law allows, our liability for any claim connected to the service is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
You may stop using your account at any time and ask us to close it. We may suspend an account that is being used in a way that breaks these terms, and we will tell you why.
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of Bengaluru have jurisdiction.
We may update these terms. The date at the top says when they last changed, and continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it.
