Terms of Service
The legal frameworks governing your access, gameplay licenses, and codes of conduct within the Neurolinker Studios ecosystems.
Executive Summary
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the games and services developed by Neurolinker Studios (brand of Neurolinker Technologies Private Limited, “Neurolinker”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By downloading, installing, or playing our games, you agree to follow our rules, license terms, and codes of conduct.
We grant you a limited, non‐exclusive license to use our game software for personal enjoyment (no resale or commercial use). You must be of eligible age (or have parental consent) and follow age/gaming ratings. You are responsible for the security of any game account you create.
When you interact in multiplayer or community features, we expect respectful, lawful conduct and reserve the right to moderate or ban players for violations. All purchases (in‐game or otherwise) are final according to the platform’s policies.
We disclaim warranties on the games and limit our liability to the fullest extent allowed by law. Any disputes will be governed by Indian law and resolved as described below (e.g. arbitration in Ahmedabad, India).
We may amend these Terms, so you should review them periodically. If you have questions about the Terms, contact us at contact@neurolinkerstudios.com.
Scope and Acceptance
These Terms apply to all games and related services released by Neurolinker Studios on any platform (PC, console, mobile, VR, etc.). By installing or using our games, you accept these Terms.
- ApplicabilityThese Terms cover all game features, online services, DLC, updates, and any associated websites or support. They are a contract between you and Neurolinker Technologies Private Limited (based in India; references to “company” or “we” means Neurolinker Technologies Private Limited acting through Neurolinker Studios).
- Age RestrictionsGames may carry age ratings (e.g. 12+, 16+). You must comply with all age and content ratings. If you are under the applicable age, you need a parent’s or guardian’s permission to use the game and these services.
- Compliance with LawsYou must obey all relevant laws and platform rules (Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, Steam, Oculus Store, Google Play, App Store, etc.). You agree not to exploit the game, cheat, hack, or engage in illegal conduct.
License Grant and Intellectual Property
We license you the right to play and use our game software under strict rules; we and our licensors keep all ownership rights.
- License GrantYou receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and play the game for personal, non-commercial use on the device/platform it was designed for. The software and content (code, graphics, audio, characters, story, UI, etc.) are owned by Neurolinker or our licensors, and we reserve all rights not expressly granted. (In short: the game is licensed, not sold.)
- RestrictionsYou may not rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or publicly display the game except as explicitly allowed. You may not copy, modify, disassemble, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the game or required middleware (e.g. anti-cheat systems). You may not attempt to defeat game security, cheat, hack, or exploit glitches. You must not bypass or disable any digital rights management (DRM) or anti-cheat measures.
- User Content (UGC)Some games allow user-generated content (UGC), such as custom levels, skins, or items. If you create or share content in the game, you must only use material you have rights to. Do not upload or share copyrighted content without permission. We may monitor, moderate, or remove content that violates laws or our policies. Even if content is allowed, we do not claim ownership of your original creations — but by uploading UGC, you grant us a license to use and distribute it. (Our license covers UGC only to operate the game and community; you keep ownership of your own creations.)
Player Accounts and Conduct
Creating an account may be required for online features. You’re responsible for security of your account and behavior. Follow community rules and do not harass or break laws.
- Account RegistrationFor multiplayer or online features, you may need to register an account with us (username/email and password). Keep your login secure. Do not share your account credentials or use another person’s account. You agree to provide accurate information if asked (e.g. age, email).
- User ConductWhen you play online, chat, or post content, you agree to follow our community standards. Prohibited conduct includes harassment, hate speech, stalking, threats, cheating, teaming (e.g. boosting), account trading, or any illegal activities. Do not cheat or use unauthorized third-party tools or “mods” to gain an unfair advantage. Engaging in such activities will lead to immediate termination of your license and account.
- Voice & Text ChatUsing voice or text chat features is optional. Keep chat content appropriate: no abuse, profanity, or harmful content. We may log or filter chat for moderation or reporting purposes. If we enable optional “voice reporting” features, you will be notified.
- Moderation and BansWe reserve the right to investigate and take action against any user violating these Terms. This can include warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans of accounts. In severe cases, violators may be reported to law enforcement. Appeals may be handled via contact@neurolinkerstudios.com, but final decisions rest with us.
In-Game Purchases and Virtual Currency
If the game offers in-app purchases or virtual currency, all transactions are final. The virtual items are licensed, not actual currency, and subject to store policies.
- PurchasesOur games may offer paid content (e.g. game purchase, DLC, expansions, cosmetic items, etc.) or virtual currency for in-game use. All prices and payment terms are set by the platform or store you use (Apple App Store, Google Play, Steam, Microsoft Store, PlayStation Store, etc.). By purchasing, you agree to pay the full amount, and any sales tax if applicable. All purchases are final and non-refundable except as required by law or the platform’s refund policy. (Most stores do not allow refunds once digital content is delivered.)
- Virtual ItemsVirtual currency (coins, gems, tokens, etc.) and items (skins, characters, etc.) you purchase or earn belong to the game environment. We grant you a license to use them in-game. These items have no cash value, and you cannot redeem them for real money. We do not guarantee that virtual items will always be available (we may modify items or currency after notice to players).
- Third-Party Payment ProcessorsPayment processing is handled by the platform/store (e.g. Apple/Google) or our payment partners. We do not store your payment information. Your payment transaction is subject to the terms of the payment provider.
- Taxes and Local RulesYou are responsible for any applicable taxes (VAT/GST) on purchases. Any in-game purchase offers (sales, bundles) are valid for the stated time only.
Leaderboards, Multiplayer, and Online Play
For online and multiplayer modes, you must follow platform rules. We may provide leaderboards and cross-play; we maintain data integrity and are not liable for uptime or match outcomes.
- Leaderboards and StatisticsScores, rankings, and in-game achievements (“Leaderboard Data”) may be recorded and displayed to compare players. We collect the necessary data (e.g. score, player ID) to maintain these features. Cheating or falsifying data to appear on leaderboards violates these Terms. We reserve the right to correct or remove rankings that result from violations.
- CrossplayOur games may allow cross-platform play (e.g. PC players vs console players). This requires linking accounts. Participation in crossplay is subject to the other platforms’ policies. We are not liable for the policies of other services (e.g. Xbox Live rules or Sony rules) that may affect your crossplay experience.
- Offline/LAN ModesIf we offer LAN or local network play, standard multiplayer Terms still apply.
- Online ServicesWe do not guarantee that multiplayer servers or matchmaking will always be available. We may update or discontinue online features at any time. We are not responsible for any loss of connection, matches, or game data due to technical issues.
Third-Party Software and Services
The game may include or connect to third-party services (analytics, ads, social media, etc.). Those have separate terms and privacy policies; we provide notice of any integrations requiring data sharing.
- Middleware and EnginesWe may use game engines or middleware (e.g. Unity, Unreal, anti-cheat systems). By using the game, you acknowledge those components and any open-source licenses.
- Analytics and Crash ReportingWe use analytics and crash-reporting services (e.g. Unity Analytics, Google Analytics, PlayFab, GameAnalytics) to improve the game and fix bugs. These services collect technical data (device type, OS, performance metrics, crash logs). This data is used under legitimate interests or contractual necessity and may be stored by the service providers. We do not use analytics to profile you or to sell personal information.
- AdvertisingIf our game is free-to-play, it may contain ads. Ad partners may collect anonymized data (like device type, app ID) for ad targeting. You can review their privacy policies on the ad partner’s site. We do not share identifying personal information with ad networks without consent.
- Social Media and SharingThe game may allow sharing content to social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Discord, etc.). Connecting to social media is optional; if you do, those networks may collect your data per their policies.
Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability
We provide the game “as is” without warranties. We are not liable for damages beyond what the law allows. Use at your own risk.
- No WarrantiesWe strive to make quality games, but we cannot guarantee error-free performance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we provide our games and online services “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, without any express or implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We disclaim all liability for bugs, glitches, interruptions, or security breaches.
- No GuaranteesWe do not guarantee specific results (like game progress, match outcomes, or specific gameplay experiences). Any content (gameplay, audio, video, etc.) is not a binding promise; the actual game may vary.
- Limitation of LiabilityTo the maximum extent allowed by law, Neurolinker (and our affiliates, officers, and employees) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of data, revenue, or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you actually paid us (if any) for the game.
- ExclusionsSome jurisdictions do not allow limitations of implied warranties or liability. If such laws apply to you, our liability will be limited to the minimum permissible by law.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate the Terms. Termination does not waive our other rights.
- Breach of TermsIf you violate these Terms or any applicable law, we may immediately suspend or terminate your account and license to use the game, without notice.
- Effect of TerminationUpon termination, all licenses granted to you will end and you must stop using the game. We may delete your user-generated data or progress. We reserve the right to refuse future service to any user.
- SurvivalEven after termination, Sections on intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution will remain in effect.
Updates to Terms
We can change these Terms anytime. If changes are material, we will notify you. Continuing to use the game means you accept the new Terms.
- ModificationWe may update or revise these Terms occasionally (for example, to reflect new features or legal requirements). We will post an updated version on our website and/or in the game, indicating the new “Effective Date.”
- NoticeFor significant changes, we may notify users via email or in-game message. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the game.
- Your ResponsibilityIt is your responsibility to review the Terms periodically. Your continued use after changes means you agree to the revised Terms.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by Indian law. Any dispute will be handled under Ahmedabad court or Indian arbitration rules. (Users may have certain local rights that cannot be waived.)
- Governing LawThese Terms are governed by the laws of India, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the games will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts in Ahmedabad, India.
- Arbitration (Optional)To expedite and reduce costs, we may require you to resolve disputes by binding arbitration rather than court litigation.
- Class Action Waiver(If applicable) For certain users (e.g. United States), class-action lawsuits are disallowed; you agree to resolve disputes only in individual arbitration. This does not apply to jurisdictions where such waivers are not enforceable.
- Consumer RightsThese Terms do not affect any non-waivable consumer rights you may have under local law (e.g. statutory guarantees or refund rights under specific consumer protection statutes).
Miscellaneous
Additional clauses: if part of the Terms is invalid, the rest still apply. We may assign rights, and your country’s rules may also apply.
- Entire AgreementThese Terms, along with any referenced rules or guidelines (e.g. community standards, privacy policy), constitute the entire agreement between you and Neurolinker regarding the game. They supersede any prior agreements.
- SeverabilityIf any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest of the Terms will remain valid.
- AssignmentWe may assign or transfer our rights under these Terms to another party (for instance, if Neurolinker is acquired by another company). You may not assign your rights without our consent.
- No WaiverIf we do not enforce a right, that does not waive our ability to enforce it later.
- Third-Party RightsOnly the parties to these Terms have rights under them; no third party (other than our affiliates) may enforce any term.
