Terms of Use

Last updated

Welcome to Galatrix, operated by GALATRIX LLC (“Galatrix”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of galatrix.com, the Galatrix editor at editor.galatrix.com, the Galatrix game platform, and any related software, applications and services (together, the “Services”).

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

1. Who may use the Services

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. We ask you to confirm your age when you sign up. If we become aware that an account belongs to someone under 13, we will close it and delete the associated personal information, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Some countries set a higher minimum age for online services. Where that applies to you, that higher age governs.

If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Services only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. That parent or guardian must read these Terms, agrees to be bound by them on your behalf, and is responsible for your activity on the Services — including any purchases made through your account.

Parts of the Services can be browsed without an account. Creating, saving or publishing content requires a free account.

You may not use the Services if you have previously been removed from them by us, or if doing so would breach any applicable law or sanction.

2. Your account

When you create an account you agree to:

  • Provide accurate information and keep it up to date
  • Keep your password and sign-in credentials confidential
  • Take responsibility for all activity that happens under your account
  • Notify us promptly at support@galatrix.com if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission

You may sign in using a third-party provider such as Google. When you do, your use of that provider remains subject to that provider’s own terms and privacy policy.

We may suspend or close an account that breaches these Terms, as described in section 12.

3. Beta software and changes to the Services

The Galatrix editor is beta software and the game platform is still in development. This means, among other things, that:

  • Features may change, break, or be removed without notice
  • The Services may be unavailable, interrupted or reset
  • Content, projects and account data may be lost or corrupted
  • Behaviour, performance and file formats are not guaranteed to be stable between versions

You should not rely on the Services as the sole store of anything important to you. Where the Services allow you to export your work — for example as a standalone build or a scene file — we strongly encourage you to keep your own copies.

We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the Services at any time.

4. Acceptable use

You agree to use the Services lawfully, and not to:

  • Break any applicable law or regulation, or infringe anyone’s rights
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Services, other users’ accounts, or any system or network connected to them
  • Interfere with, disrupt, overload or degrade the operation or security of the Services
  • Circumvent, disable or tamper with any security, rate-limiting, moderation or access-control feature
  • Upload or transmit malware, or any code intended to harm, exploit or gain unauthorised access to any system or user
  • Scrape, harvest or collect data about other users, or use automated systems to access the Services in a way that sends more requests than a person could reasonably produce
  • Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any part of the Services, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it
  • Resell, sublicense or commercially exploit the Services other than as the Services expressly allow
  • Impersonate any person or organisation, or misrepresent your affiliation with one
  • Manipulate rankings, visit counts, ratings, leaderboards or any economy or reward system

5. Your content

“Your Content” means anything you create, upload or transmit through the Services — including worlds, maps, scripts, models, textures, audio, images, thumbnails, descriptions, usernames, profile details and messages.

You keep ownership of Your Content. We do not claim ownership of anything you make.

To let us run the Services, you grant GALATRIX LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, store, back up, reproduce, adapt (including reformatting and making technical changes needed to deliver it), publicly display, publicly perform and distribute Your Content, for the purposes of:

  • Operating, providing, securing and improving the Services
  • Making Your Content available to other users, to the extent and in the way you choose to publish or share it
  • Allowing other users to copy or fork Your Content, where you have enabled that setting
  • Promoting the Services, including showing screenshots or clips of published content

This licence ends when you delete Your Content from the Services, except that it survives for: copies retained in routine backups for a limited period; copies already distributed to other users, including standalone builds; and content you have published under a setting that permits copying, in which case existing copies remain with those users.

You are responsible for Your Content. You confirm that you own it or otherwise have all the rights needed to upload it and grant the licence above, and that it does not infringe anyone else’s rights. This applies to material you bring in from elsewhere, including third-party models, textures, fonts, audio, and imported voxel or schematic files.

6. Content standards

You must not create, upload, publish or transmit content that:

  • Infringes copyright, trade marks, or other intellectual property or privacy rights
  • Is sexually explicit, or sexualises minors in any way
  • Depicts, promotes or glorifies violence, self-harm, terrorism or extremism
  • Harasses, bullies, threatens, defames or targets any person or group, including on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity or sexual orientation
  • Is unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive or promotes illegal activity
  • Contains malware, exploits, or code designed to disrupt the Services or harm other users
  • Discloses another person’s private or identifying information without their permission
  • Is spam, or advertises goods or services without our permission

We may set out further, more detailed community guidelines. Where we do, they form part of these Terms.

7. Moderation and enforcement

We are not obliged to monitor the Services, but we may. Where we consider it necessary or appropriate, we may:

  • Review, remove, restrict, hide or unpublish content
  • Limit, suspend or terminate accounts
  • Withhold or reverse virtual items, currency or earnings connected to a breach
  • Report activity to law enforcement

The Services include tools for users to report content and block other users. We aim to review reports promptly, but we do not guarantee any particular response time or outcome. If we take action against your account, you may contact us at support@galatrix.com to ask us to reconsider.

8. Virtual items, currency and purchases

Where the Services offer virtual currency, virtual items, game passes or similar (“Virtual Items”), the following applies:

  • Virtual Items are licensed to you, not sold. You receive a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable licence to use them within the Services, except where the Services expressly provide a way to trade or gift them
  • Virtual Items have no monetary value, are not your property, and cannot be redeemed for cash or anything of value outside the Services, except where applicable law requires otherwise
  • We may change, limit, suspend, expire or remove Virtual Items, including where the Services or a particular game change or shut down
  • Any purchase is subject to the price, description and refund terms shown at the time of purchase

If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only make a purchase with the permission of the parent or guardian responsible for the payment method. We may cancel or reverse a purchase we reasonably believe was made without that permission.

Where we operate a revenue-sharing or creator-payout programme, participation is subject to separate terms, eligibility requirements and any tax and identity checks we are required to carry out.

9. Our intellectual property

The Services themselves — including the Galatrix name and logo, the website, the editor, the engine and runtime, documentation, and all associated software, design and content we provide — are owned by GALATRIX LLC or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Services, and to distribute standalone builds you export from the editor, including the engine runtime bundled inside them, as part of the games you make.

Except as set out above, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute or create derivative works from any part of the Services without our prior written permission.

Third-party trademarks. Any product or company names other than our own that appear on the Services are the property of their respective owners, and are referred to for identification only. We claim no rights in them, and their appearance does not imply any affiliation with, endorsement by, or sponsorship from their owners.

The Services may link to, or interoperate with, websites, services and software operated by others. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, policies or practices. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that third party’s terms.

Some components of the Services are provided under third-party open-source licences. Those licences continue to apply to those components.

11. Disclaimers

The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that content will be preserved or free from loss.

We are not responsible for content created by other users, and we do not endorse it.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

12. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Services at any time, and may request deletion of your account as described in our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if we are required to by law, or if we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect the Services or other users.

On termination, your right to use the Services ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive — including sections 5, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16 and 17 — continue to apply.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, GALATRIX LLC and its officers, employees and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data or content, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Services — whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or USD 100.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless GALATRIX LLC from any claims, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content, your use of the Services, or your breach of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Where changes are material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you — for example by a notice in the Services or by email.

Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the Services, are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Before filing a claim, please contact us at support@galatrix.com and give us a reasonable opportunity to resolve the matter informally. Most disputes can be settled that way.

If that does not resolve it, you and GALATRIX LLC agree that any claim will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and both parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If you are a consumer, nothing in this section removes the protection of any mandatory law of the country you live in. If you are resident in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you keep the right to rely on the mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence, and to bring proceedings in your local courts where the law gives you that right.

17. General

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign or transfer these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. These Terms, together with any policies referenced in them, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services.
