Terms of Service

Last updated: 2025-04-01

Welcome to Piade! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, content, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. Piade is operated by Piade Studio, Inc. ("we," "us," or "our"). We may update these Terms from time to time; your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and any additional policies referenced herein. If you are using the Service on behalf of an entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must discontinue use immediately. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, with notice provided through the Service or via email. Your continued use after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance.

Account Registration and Security

To access certain features, you may need to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your account information. You may delete your account at any time by contacting support.

Use of the Service

Piade provides a platform for game-related content, including articles, reviews, guides, and community features. You may access and use the Service solely for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes. Commercial use requires our prior written consent.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service in accordance with these Terms. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, or exploit any part of the Service without our express permission.

Pricing and Billing

Currently, Piade is offered free of charge. In the future, we may introduce paid subscriptions, premium content, or other fee-based services. If such offerings become available, we will provide clear pricing and billing terms. Any paid services will be governed by additional terms presented at the time of purchase.

We reserve the right to change our pricing or introduce fees at any time. If you are enrolled in a paid plan, we will provide notice of changes at least 30 days in advance, and you may cancel before the change takes effect.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service for any unlawful, harmful, or abusive purpose. Prohibited conduct includes: posting or transmitting spam, malware, viruses, or disruptive content; harassing, threatening, or intimidating others; impersonating any person or entity; and violating any applicable laws or regulations.

You may not use the Service to infringe upon the intellectual property or privacy rights of others. We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these standards and to suspend or terminate accounts that engage in prohibited behavior.

Intellectual Property

All content on Piade, including text, graphics, logos, images, videos, and software, is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without explicit permission.

User-generated content you submit remains your property, but by posting you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, display, and distribute that content within the Service. You represent that your content does not violate any third-party rights.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, including if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately, and we may delete your account and content without liability.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitations of liability) will remain in effect.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of the content. We disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses. Any reliance on the content is at your own risk. Piade is a games blog and does not provide professional advice.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Piade Studio, Inc. and its affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability, so these may not apply to you.

Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page and notify you via email or a prominent notice on the Service. You are expected to review the Terms periodically.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Service.

Governing Law

These Terms and any disputes arising from them shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in Delaware for any legal proceedings.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek injunctive relief in any jurisdiction to protect our intellectual property. Any waiver of a provision of these Terms must be in writing and signed by us.
