What belongs to us
The site itself belongs to Jolly Roger (jollyroger.wtf): the name Jolly Roger as used here, the mark, the wordmark, the writing on every page, the artwork, the sounds, the layout, the design of the line and the board and the castles, and the software behind all of it. © 2026 Jolly Roger (jollyroger.wtf). All rights reserved.
Nothing on this site is placed in the public domain by being published here. You may link to any page, quote a reasonable amount with attribution, and take screenshots. You may not copy the site, rebuild it from its pages, scrape it wholesale, resell access to it, or use the name or mark in a way that suggests we are behind something we are not.
What belongs to you
Your flag's artwork, name, tagline, description and links stay yours. Uploading them changes nothing about who owns them.
By flying a flag you give us permission to show it: to display, copy, resize and redraw that artwork wherever the site shows flags — the line, the board, a category, a share image, the social preview that appears when somebody posts your link — and to show it in our own material about the site. The permission is worldwide and costs nothing, and it lasts as long as the flag is up and for a reasonable time afterwards in anything already published.
Take the flag down and that permission ends for anything new.
What you must not fly
You must own what you upload, or have permission to use it. Somebody else's logo, somebody else's photograph, somebody else's character, a brand you have nothing to do with — none of those are yours to hoist.
A flag is a claim in public and under your handle. If it is not yours to make, do not make it.
If we are flying something of yours
Write to support@jollyroger.wtf and tell us which flag it is, what of yours is in it, and enough about who you are to show the claim is yours to make. We will take it down while we look rather than afterwards.
We tell the person who flew it what was claimed and who claimed it, because they are entitled to answer. A flag taken down this way does not get its bid back — see Payments and Refunds, which says the same thing about every flag taken down under the rules.
Flags claimed falsely, or repeatedly, cost the account that flew them.
