Publisher Terms

• Org: the Studio's organization in the console, which owns its projects and is the party to these terms.
• Member: a person given a role on the Org, or on one of its projects or environments.
• Project: one game or product of the Studio. An Environment is one separate instance of a project's services, such as its production or test environment.
• Players: the people who play the Studio's games or use its products, and whose data the Studio stores in the Service.
• Player Data: personal information about Players, or about anyone else, that the Studio or its Players put into the Service.
• Studio Content: everything the Studio or its Players put into the Service, including Player Data, config values, feature flags, tours, blog posts and support requests.
• Credentials: server keys, invitation links, player tokens and any other secret the Service issues to the Studio.

The Service provides backend services for games: players and sign-in, lobbies, config, feature flags, tours, blogs, support and sign-in with GreenMind, among others. Each project switches on the services it uses, and each service is provided separately in each Environment. The documentation at publishing.greenmindmedia.com/docs describes what the Service does.

We grant the Studio a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right, for the duration of these terms, to use the Service to build, test and operate its games, in accordance with these terms and the documentation.

You are responsible for your Org: for who you make a Member, what role you give them, and everything they do in the Service. Keep roles current, and remove Members who leave your Studio or no longer need access. Every Org must keep at least one admin.

Invitations are links that anyone holding them can accept. Send them only to the person they are for, and withdraw any that were sent in error.

The information you give us about your Studio must be accurate, and you must keep a way for us to reach your admins.

You keep all rights in Studio Content. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, transmit and display Studio Content only so far as is necessary to provide the Service to you and to your Players, and for no other purpose.

You are the controller of Player Data, and GreenMind processes it on your behalf as your processor, under the Data Processing Addendum. You decide what Player Data your games send to the Service and why. You are responsible for having a lawful basis for it, for telling your Players in your own privacy policy that it is processed by a service provider such as GreenMind, for obtaining any consent the law requires, and for answering your Players' requests about their data.

Do not send the Service data it is not designed to hold, including payment card numbers, government identifiers, passwords, health information or other special categories of personal data.

GreenMind is the controller of the information it holds about the Studio and its Members in order to run the Service and this relationship: Members' GreenMind accounts, the record of who accepted these terms, and our security and service logs. That information is handled under GreenMind's Privacy Policy.

Your games, and your relationship with your Players, are yours. You are responsible for your own terms of service and privacy policy, for supporting your Players, and for complying with the laws that apply to your games wherever you offer them.

Google Play, the App Store, Steam and every other store or platform you distribute through set their own requirements. You are responsible for your store listings, age ratings, content descriptors, privacy and data-safety disclosures, and for any purchase, account or data rules each store sets. Where a store asks what data your game collects or which services it shares data with, your answer must include what your games send to the Service.

If your game is directed at children, or you know that children use it, you are responsible for meeting the laws that protect them, including obtaining any parental consent required before their data is sent to the Service.

Keep Credentials secret. Server keys belong on your servers only: never put one in a game client, a website, a public repository, or anything else a Player or the public can open. Anything done with your Credentials is treated as done by you.

If you believe a Credential has been exposed, revoke it in the console at once and tell us promptly at the address in clause 21. We store server keys and invitation links only as hashes and cannot recover them for you.

You are responsible for the security of your own games, servers and accounts, and for checking the identity of a Player before your server signs them in to the Service.

The Service is shared by many studios. We may set limits on its use, such as rate limits, quotas, storage limits, and the number of projects, Environments or Credentials an Org may hold, and we may change them. We will give notice of a new or reduced limit where it is practical to do so. Requests beyond a limit may be slowed or refused.

You must not place unreasonable load on the Service, including through load testing, bulk requests or retries without backoff, without our written agreement.

You, your Members and your games must comply with the Acceptable Use Policy. You are responsible for your Players' use of the Service through your games to the extent your games allow it, and for acting on abuse by your Players that you become aware of.

The Service is in beta. We do not offer a service level agreement, and we do not guarantee that the Service will be available, uninterrupted or free of errors. We may take it down for maintenance, and will try to do so at quiet times.

We may change, add or remove features of the Service. Where a change removes a feature you use, or breaks a version of the platform API your games rely on, we will give you notice in advance where practical. We may discontinue the Service as a whole, and if we do, we will give you reasonable notice where practical so that you can make other arrangements.

You are responsible for keeping your own copies of any Studio Content you would not want to lose.

The Service is currently provided without charge. We may introduce paid plans or fees for some or all of the Service. If we do, we will give you notice before any fee applies to you, and you will not be charged unless you choose to continue using the part of the Service it applies to after the fee takes effect.

Any software development kit, binary distribution, source code access or similar licence we may offer in the future will be governed by separate terms.

We may suspend or restrict the Service for your Org, a project, an Environment or a Credential, with or without notice, where we reasonably believe that you have broken these terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, that your use threatens the security, integrity or availability of the Service or harms others, or that the law requires it. We will try to tell you why when we reasonably can, and will lift a suspension once its cause is resolved.

You may stop using the Service at any time, and ask us to close your Org. We may end these terms for convenience by giving you reasonable notice, or at once if you materially break them and do not put it right within a reasonable time after we tell you, or if the breach cannot be put right.

When these terms end, your right to use the Service ends, and we delete or return Player Data as the Data Processing Addendum describes.

You keep your intellectual property, including your games and Studio Content. We keep ours, including the Service, its software, the platform API, the documentation, and our names and logos. Nothing in these terms transfers either party's intellectual property to the other, except the licences they expressly grant.

If you give us feedback or suggestions about the Service, we may use them without restriction or obligation to you.

We will not use your name or logo to promote the Service without your permission.

Each party may receive non-public information from the other: for us, your Studio Content and your unreleased plans; for you, non-public information about the Service. Each party will use the other's confidential information only for the purposes of these terms, protect it with at least reasonable care, and disclose it only to those who need it for those purposes and are bound to keep it confidential.

This does not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, that it already had or develops independently, or that it receives lawfully from someone else. A party may disclose confidential information where the law requires it, after telling the other party first where it lawfully can.

Each party confirms that it has the authority to enter into these terms. You confirm that you have the rights, notices and consents needed to put Studio Content into the Service and to have us process it as these terms describe.

Except as these terms expressly say, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that it will be secure or uninterrupted, or that any data will be preserved or recoverable.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, nor for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or content, however caused and on any theory of liability, arising out of or relating to these terms or the Service.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these terms and the Service will not exceed the greater of the total amount you have paid us for the Service in the twelve months preceding the claim, or one hundred Canadian dollars (CA$100).

These limits do not apply to your obligations under clause 16, to a breach of the Acceptable Use Policy, or to liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

You agree to indemnify GreenMind Media Inc., its officers, employees and contractors against any claim, demand or proceeding brought by a third party, including a Player, a store or a regulator, and any damages, losses, fines and reasonable legal costs that result from it, to the extent it arises out of your games, Studio Content, your instructions to us about Player Data, or your breach of these terms, the Data Processing Addendum, the Acceptable Use Policy, a store's rules, or applicable law.

This does not cover a claim to the extent it is caused by our own negligence, wilful misconduct, or breach of these terms.

If we intend to rely on this clause we will tell you about the claim promptly, we will not settle it on terms that admit fault on your behalf or impose an obligation on you without your consent, and we will let you take part in the defence. If we are late in telling you, what we can recover here is reduced to the extent the delay made your position worse.

We may revise these terms, the Data Processing Addendum and the Acceptable Use Policy. Each revision is posted at its address with a new effective date, and we will tell your Org's admins about a material revision by email or in the console before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after a revision takes effect means your Org accepts it. If you do not accept it, stop using the Service and ask us to close your Org.

An admin must also accept the current revision of each agreement in the console on your Org's behalf. Until they do, your Org cannot make new projects or Environments.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Saskatchewan and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of Saskatchewan have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to their jurisdiction and venue.

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder will stay in force. A party's failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. The parties are independent contractors, and nothing in these terms creates a partnership, agency or employment relationship. Neither party is liable for a failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control.

You may not assign these terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. We send notices to the email addresses of your Org's admins or through the console; you send notices to the address in clause 21.

Clauses 4 (as to the licence necessary to have provided the Service), 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19 and 20, and the Data Processing Addendum for as long as we hold Player Data, survive the end of these terms.

These terms, the Data Processing Addendum and the Acceptable Use Policy are the entire agreement between the Studio and GreenMind about the Service, and replace any earlier understanding about it. Where they conflict, the Data Processing Addendum governs the processing of Player Data, and these terms govern everything else.
