Terms of Use

1.1 We are Launchable Limited, an English registered company whose registered office is at 20 Wenlock Road, London, England, N17GU. In these Terms, we will refer to ourselves as "we", "us", "our" or "Launchable".

1.2 We own and operate the Platform. The Platform provides a digital environment facilitating the introduction and connection of individual developers and talent with video game publishers, studios, investors, agencies and developers (together "Studios") and the prospect of their collaboration together on video game development projects. In addition to acting as a bridge between individuals and Studios, the Platform provides standard legal contracts for use between the various parties, facilitates the distribution of revenues between the parties and provides such other Services as may be made available to you via the Platform from time to time.

1.3 You are entirely responsible for your use of the Platform and Services and for any Content you provide, create or post on or via the Platform. The Platform simply facilitates connections and introductions. We provide no guarantees or warranties regarding any video game publisher, Studios or other third parties we connect you with. We do not guarantee the ongoing availability of the Platform or supply of our Services or that the Platform and Services will be available in all locations or that we will continue to make available the Platform or offer such Services for a particular length of time.

1.4 You can contact us at terms@solaunchable.com

2.1 By registering for and using our Platform and Services, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms; (b) if you are registering on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you are duly authorised to bind that entity to these Terms, and references to “you” and “your” shall include that entity; (c) you are registering as a business User (whether as a legal entity, sole trader or individual contractor) and acknowledge that the Services are intended exclusively for business use (B2B) and not for consumer use; and (d) all information you provide to us is true, accurate and complete, and you will keep it up to date.

2.2 You acknowledge that in addition to these Terms, you will be required to enter into separate legal agreements that will be presented to you from time to time, as a condition of your receiving certain Services and opportunities to work on projects with Studios. These agreements may include, without limitation, non-disclosure agreements, studio/talent master services agreements and such other documentation and processes we may require.

2.3 Where you access our Services through a third-party platform or site, you may be required to comply with their policies in addition to these Terms.

2.4 You must comply with the laws that apply to you in the jurisdiction in which you are established or from which you access our Services. If any laws applicable to you restrict or prohibit you from using our Services, you must comply with those legal restrictions and, if necessary, stop using our Services.

3.1 We may make changes to these Terms from time to time, for example to ensure that we remain compliant with applicable laws or to reflect any changes we make to our Services. The updated Terms will be posted on our website. We may also notify you when we make material changes to these Terms via our communications, email or otherwise. It is your responsibility to ensure that you check these Terms regularly for any changes before using our Services. Your continued use of our Services will be deemed as acceptance of any changes we make to these Terms from time to time.

4.1 You must create an account with us (an "Account") to access and use the Platform and the Services. As part of the Platform onboarding process, we and our third-party providers will conduct anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) checks. Before being granted access to Studio projects, you will be required to enter into a project-specific non-disclosure agreement. If you and a Studio agree to work on a project, you and the Studio must sign a Studio/Talent master services agreement, a copy of which we will provide at the time. We simply facilitate your introduction to Studios. We provide no guarantees or warranties regarding the suitability of any project or Studio. It is your responsibility to conduct your own due diligence and rely on your own judgement when deciding whether to contract with a Studio.

4.2 When you create your Account, you must choose and maintain your login details (including your username and password). Your Account must include truthful and accurate information about yourself (e.g. your name) and this information must be kept up to date. You will also be required to populate your public profile on the Platform.

4.3 Your Account is personal to you and may not be shared with any other person. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity on your Account, including where your Account has been accessed by another person due to your failure to keep your credentials secure. We accept no responsibility for any losses or harm you suffer as a result of unauthorised use of your Account. We reserve the right to modify or remove any screen names or personas that we consider, in our reasonable discretion, to be abusive, offensive or otherwise in breach of these Terms.

4.4 References to "Stopping" or to "Stop" an Account includes temporarily or permanently disabling, suspending or banning an Account (including a third-party account that you have used to access our Services). If your Account is disabled or banned, you will not be able to access your Account and any licences previously granted to you to use the Services will be either temporarily or permanently revoked. We may Stop your Account if we believe you have breached any of these Terms and/or we reasonably believe it is necessary in order to prevent or stop any harm or damage to us, to any of our Services, to other users of our Services, to the general public, or to you.

12.1 Our Services may integrate with or link to third-party services, tools, payment processors or platforms. These third-party services may impose additional terms and conditions governing their use. Those terms and conditions form a separate agreement between you and the relevant third-party provider and are in addition to these Terms. We encourage you to read the terms and conditions imposed by third parties carefully before you agree to them. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content or practices of any third-party service.

We may assign or otherwise transfer our rights and may sub-contract our obligations under these Terms to any person.

14.3 Each of the terms and conditions of these Terms operates separately. If any court or other competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect.

14.4 Nothing in these Terms will create any relationship of partnership, joint venture, agency or employment between the parties. In particular, and without limitation, we are not an employer of, or agent for, any party.

14.5 If we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that does not mean that we have waived our rights against you, and it does not mean that you are relieved of your obligations under these Terms. If we do waive a breach by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later breach by you.
