Terms of Service

Chessskins is operated by SNS INNOVATIONS S.R.L. and provides cosmetic chess boards and pieces through its website and Chrome extension. It is independent of Chess.com. For private support, contact support@chessskins.com.

Using the beta

Static boards, pieces, sets, personal colors, and creator tools are free with an account. Premium is required to use animated boards and pieces.

Chessskins is an early-stage beta. Features and catalogue availability may change, and Chrome or Chess.com changes can interrupt compatibility. The extension changes appearance only; it does not provide chess advice, engine assistance, or a competitive advantage.

Your account

Use an account you control, keep credentials secure, and provide accurate information. Email/password accounts must be verified within 48 hours. Unverified accounts without billing activity are automatically deleted after that deadline. Verification is required before starting any subscription. Google sign-in may be connected to an existing authenticated account; connecting a provider does not create a new trial allowance.

Trials and recurring subscriptions

Eligible new subscribers may claim one seven-day trial using a card or Link. Each Chessskins account and email can claim one introductory trial; we also check repeated card use and Link account emails. Premium status begins only after our backend confirms eligibility. If you are ineligible, we do not silently start a paid subscription: you must explicitly accept the regular paid offer.

The recurring price and interval appear on Pricing and during checkout. The first trial payment is seven days after activation; your account shows the date. A regular paid offer starts billing when payment is confirmed. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Stripe processes payments.

Cancel through Account settings before the next payment. Cancelling renewal keeps Premium status until the actual trial or paid-period expiry; free features remain available. Failed payments do not extend the confirmed access period. Account deletion immediately cancels the subscription and ends access. Read Billing, cancellation and refunds for details.

Assets and responsible use

Your account lets you use the available skins through the supported extension, including in your own gameplay recordings. For Chessskins-owned artwork without a separate license, this access does not transfer ownership or grant permission to resell or redistribute the asset library. Separately licensed artwork remains subject to its own license, including any rights to copy, modify, and redistribute it; these terms do not limit those rights. Do not bypass access checks, share account credentials, or manipulate identities to claim repeated trials.

Community artwork

Community components are free to use with an account. Publish only work you own or have permission to share. You keep your ownership and confirm permission for Chessskins to host and display the submitted work. A creator permission declaration does not assign an open-source license. Where an item includes a separate license, its stated permissions and attribution requirements apply to that artwork. You can report an item from its detail page; administrators can withdraw it from discovery and new use.

Support and changes

Use Support for beta help, billing questions and feedback. The Privacy Policy explains account, Discord and anti-abuse records, including retention after deletion. Material billing changes must be disclosed before acceptance; the price accepted at checkout governs that offer. Nothing here purports to remove rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
