By accessing or using SableGrid, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing this platform.

These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and SableGrid. Your use of our services signifies your acceptance of these terms and our Privacy Policy.

Account Registration and Security

You must create an account to access most features of SableGrid. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. False or misleading information may result in account termination.

Platform Usage and Conduct

SableGrid is intended for strategic gaming and community interaction. You agree to use the platform appropriately and to respect other users and the gaming environment.

Prohibited activities include cheating, exploiting game mechanics, harassment, sharing inappropriate content, attempting to gain unauthorized access to accounts or systems, and any activity that disrupts the platform's operation.

Subscription Services and Payments

Subscription services are billed in advance on a recurring basis. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the applicable fees. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled before the renewal date.

All fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as specifically stated in our refund policy. Price changes will be communicated in advance and will not affect your current billing cycle.

Intellectual Property Rights

SableGrid and its content, including games, graphics, text, software, and trademarks, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to use the platform for personal gaming purposes.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our services or included software, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of our software.

User-Generated Content

You retain ownership of content you create using our scenario editor and other creation tools. By uploading content to SableGrid, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive license to use, display, and distribute your content on our platform.

You are responsible for ensuring your content does not infringe on third-party rights and complies with our community guidelines. We reserve the right to remove content that violates these terms.

Marketplace and Creator Economy

The SableGrid marketplace allows creators to sell premium scenarios and cosmetic content. Creators must comply with our marketplace guidelines and quality standards. We reserve the right to reject or remove content that does not meet our standards.

Marketplace transactions are subject to our commission structure and payment terms. Creators are responsible for applicable taxes on their earnings and must provide necessary tax documentation.

Tournament and Competition Rules

Participation in tournaments and ranked competitions is subject to additional rules and regulations. Players must compete fairly and in accordance with game rules and tournament guidelines.

We reserve the right to disqualify players for rule violations, unsportsmanlike conduct, or technical issues. Tournament prizes and rankings are awarded at our discretion based on official results.

Privacy and Data Protection

Your privacy is important to us. Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these terms by reference.

By using SableGrid, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in our Privacy Policy and these Terms of Service.

Service Availability and Modifications

We strive to maintain high service availability but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. We may temporarily suspend service for maintenance, updates, or technical issues.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of SableGrid at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of significant changes that affect your use of the platform.

Limitation of Liability

SableGrid is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Our liability for any damages arising from your use of the platform is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SableGrid, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from your use of the platform, violation of these terms, or infringement of third-party rights.

This indemnification obligation survives termination of your account and these terms of service.

Termination

You may terminate your account at any time through your account settings. We may terminate or suspend your account immediately for violations of these terms, illegal activity, or other conduct that harms SableGrid or other users.

Upon termination, your right to use the platform ceases immediately. Provisions regarding intellectual property, indemnification, and limitation of liability survive termination.

Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of SableGrid will be resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, except for small claims court matters and intellectual property disputes.

Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with established arbitration rules. You waive your right to participate in class action lawsuits or class-wide arbitrations.

Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms of Service periodically to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or business practices. We will notify you of material changes through email or platform notifications.

Your continued use of SableGrid after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to changes, you must discontinue use of the platform.
