We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes in this Policy, including operating the Services, meeting legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.

  • Use the Services for any fraudulent or unlawful purpose;
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Services;
  • Upload malicious code or content that could interfere with the Services;
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from our games or services, except where permitted by law.

4. Accounts and Registration

Certain features of the Services may require you to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

5. Purchases, Subscriptions and In-Game Items

All purchases of digital goods (including virtual currency, cosmetic items, or subscriptions) are final except as required by law or as expressly stated in a refund policy. We may change prices, features, and availability of items at any time. Virtual items have no cash value and are not transferable outside the Services unless explicitly stated.

6. Intellectual Property

All content, designs, graphics, software, and game assets provided as part of the Services are owned or licensed by Applied Game Designs and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, or create derivative works without our prior written consent.

7. User-Generated Content

If you submit content to the Services ("User Content"), you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, and distribute that content for the purpose of operating and promoting the Services. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to grant us this license and that your User Content does not violate any law or third-party rights.

8. Conduct and Community Rules

We expect players to be respectful. Harassment, hate speech, cheating, exploiting, and engaging in other disruptive behavior may result in warnings, suspensions, or permanent bans. We reserve the right to remove or moderate User Content that violates these Terms or our community standards.

9. Community Guidelines

Applied Game Designs is committed to maintaining a professional, inclusive, and focused workplace environment. To ensure our community remains a productive space for game development and industry collaboration, we have established the following community guidelines:

  • Workplace Focus: Our platform and workplace are dedicated to game industry discussions, professional development, and collaborative work. We ask that all communications remain relevant to game development, design, technology, and related professional topics.
  • Prohibited Topics: To maintain a professional environment and avoid divisive discussions, we prohibit discussions of politics, religion, and other non-game industry topics in our workplace, forums, and official communication channels.
  • Respectful Communication: All interactions should be professional, respectful, and constructive. Personal attacks, inflammatory language, or attempts to derail conversations with off-topic content are not permitted.
  • Enforcement: Violations of these guidelines may result in warnings, content removal, temporary restrictions, or permanent bans from our Services, at our sole discretion.

10. Free Speech

Applied Game Designs respects the principle of free speech and encourages open dialogue within appropriate contexts. However, our Services and workplace are private spaces designed for specific professional purposes. As such:

  • Private Platform: Our Services are private platforms, not public forums. We reserve the right to moderate content and discussions to maintain our community standards and workplace focus.
  • Content Moderation: To preserve a professional environment focused on game industry topics, we may remove, edit, or restrict content that violates our Community Guidelines, including discussions of politics, religion, or other non-game industry topics.
  • Workplace Boundaries: While we support free expression in appropriate contexts, our workplace and official communication channels are designated spaces for game industry-related discussions. Off-topic content, including political or religious discussions, is not permitted in these spaces.
  • Alternative Venues: We encourage members to engage in broader discussions in appropriate public forums, personal social media, or other venues outside of our workplace and official channels.
  • No Impact on Legal Rights: These guidelines apply only to our Services and workplace. They do not restrict your rights to free speech in other contexts, and we fully support your right to express yourself outside of our platform.

11. Disclaimers

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Applied Game Designs, its officers, employees, or contractors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Services. Our aggregate liability for direct damages shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the last 12 months, or (b) $50.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Applied Game Designs from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Services.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time for violation of these Terms or for any lawful reason. Upon termination, your right to use the Services will end and certain provisions of these Terms will survive.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice (for example, via email or an in-app announcement). Continued use of the Services after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Applied Game Designs is incorporated, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. For any disputes not resolved informally, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in that jurisdiction.

17. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Applied Game Designs regarding the Services.
