Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Columbus Labs website, including any pages, content, forms, and communications made available through this site (collectively, the "Site"). "Columbus Labs," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Columbus Labs. "You" refers to any person or organization that accesses or uses the Site.

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. These Terms apply only to this Site. If you use the Site on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Our mobile applications, games, subscriptions, beta programs, client statements of work, and other services may have separate terms, policies, app-store rules, or written agreements that control those specific offerings.

Use of the Site

You may use the Site only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to interfere with the Site, attempt to access systems or data without authorization, introduce malicious code, scrape or harvest information in a way that burdens the Site, misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or use the Site to violate the rights of Columbus Labs or any third party.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the Site at any time if we believe your use violates these Terms, creates risk, or may harm the Site, Columbus Labs, our users, or third parties.

Studio inquiries

The Site may invite you to contact us about potential app, game, design, backend, cloud, or product work. Submitting an inquiry does not create a client relationship, partnership, employment relationship, agency relationship, fiduciary duty, non-disclosure obligation, or obligation for us to respond, provide services, hold availability, or accept a project.

Do not send confidential, proprietary, sensitive, or regulated information unless we have signed a separate written agreement that expressly covers that information. If you send ideas, requests, materials, feedback, business information, or other content to us without such an agreement, you grant Columbus Labs a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to review, use, reproduce, modify, and discuss that content as reasonably necessary to evaluate and respond to your inquiry.

Products and availability

Product descriptions, availability notes, release plans, screenshots, names, pricing references, and other product information on the Site are provided for general informational purposes. They may change at any time and do not guarantee that a product, feature, platform, service, beta, update, or release date will be available.

If you access a Columbus Labs app, game, subscription, beta, or other product through a third-party platform such as the Apple App Store, your use may also be governed by that platform's terms, policies, payment rules, refund rules, and technical requirements.

Intellectual property

The Site, including its text, design, graphics, logos, product names, images, software, code, and other materials, is owned by Columbus Labs or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property and other laws. Except as expressly allowed by these Terms, you may not copy, modify, distribute, display, perform, publish, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit any part of the Site without our prior written permission.

Columbus Labs names, logos, product names, and related marks may not be used in a way that suggests endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, or approval without our prior written permission.

Feedback

If you send us comments, bug reports, suggestions, ideas, feature requests, or other feedback, you agree that Columbus Labs may use that feedback for any purpose without restriction or compensation to you. You represent that you have the rights needed to provide that feedback and that our use of it will not violate the rights of any third party.

Third-party links and services

The Site may link to third-party websites, app stores, platforms, or services. Those third parties are not controlled by Columbus Labs. We are not responsible for their content, availability, security, policies, practices, fees, or transactions. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms and policies.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with the Site. By using the Site, you acknowledge that information will be handled as described in that policy.

Disclaimers

The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Columbus Labs disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, availability, accuracy, reliability, security, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

We do not warrant that the Site will meet your expectations, that any content will be complete or current, that defects will be corrected, or that the Site or any server or third-party service involved in operating it will be free of viruses, harmful components, outages, or security incidents.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Columbus Labs and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, goodwill loss, or other intangible losses arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Site.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of Columbus Labs for any claim arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100) or the amount you paid directly to Columbus Labs for use of the Site in the twelve months before the claim arose, whichever is greater.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Columbus Labs and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, your violation of law, or your infringement or misappropriation of any rights of another person or organization.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You and Columbus Labs agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Indiana for disputes arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms, except that either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. The updated Terms will be effective when posted unless a different effective date is stated. Your continued use of the Site after updated Terms are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

Miscellaneous

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
