Geographic Restrictions

While we operate from Berlin, Germany, our services are available to clients worldwide. However, certain services or features may be restricted in specific jurisdictions based on legal or practical considerations.

Project Timelines

Development timelines and deliverable schedules are established through individual project agreements. While we work diligently to meet agreed-upon deadlines, unforeseen technical challenges or scope changes may necessitate timeline adjustments.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual property ownership varies depending on the nature of the engagement and is typically defined in individual project agreements.

Website Content

All content on our website, including text, graphics, logos, images, and software, is the property of LOK - TEST A/S or its content suppliers and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our website content without explicit written permission.

Project Deliverables

Ownership of game code, assets, documentation, and other deliverables created during client projects is typically transferred to the client upon project completion and full payment, unless otherwise specified in the project agreement. Specific intellectual property terms are negotiated and documented in individual contracts.

Portfolio and Marketing Rights

Unless otherwise agreed, we reserve the right to feature completed projects in our portfolio and marketing materials. We will respect any confidentiality requirements specified in project agreements.

Third-Party Assets

Any third-party libraries, frameworks, or assets used in project development remain subject to their respective licenses. We ensure proper licensing compliance in all deliverables.

Payment terms, schedules, and methods are established in individual project agreements. Typical arrangements include deposits before project commencement and milestone-based payments throughout development.

We reserve the right to adjust pricing for new projects at any time. Pricing changes do not affect projects already under contract unless mutually agreed upon by both parties.

We provide our services with professional care and expertise, but certain limitations and disclaimers apply to protect both parties.

Service Warranties

We warrant that services will be performed with reasonable skill and care consistent with industry standards. Deliverables will substantially conform to agreed-upon specifications as documented in project agreements.

Bug fixes and technical support during development are included as part of the project scope. Post-project support terms are defined in individual agreements.

Disclaimer of Warranties

Except as expressly stated in project agreements, our services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

We do not warrant that our website will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected. We make no guarantees regarding specific project outcomes, market performance, or commercial success of developed games.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, LOK - TEST A/S shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to these terms or your use of our services.

Our total liability for any claims arising from our services shall not exceed the amount paid by you for the specific services giving rise to the claim.

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LOK - TEST A/S, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of our services, violation of these terms, infringement of any intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity, or any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in project agreements.

11. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to our website and services immediately, without prior notice, for any reason, including breach of these Terms of Service.

Termination of ongoing projects is governed by individual project agreements. Both parties typically retain rights to work completed up to the termination date, subject to payment obligations.

Provisions of these terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity obligations, and limitations of liability.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Germany, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of our services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Berlin, Germany. By using our services, you consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.

13. Dispute Resolution

In the event of any dispute arising from these terms or our services, we encourage parties to first attempt resolution through good faith negotiations. Many disputes can be resolved efficiently through direct communication.

If negotiations do not resolve the dispute within thirty days, either party may pursue resolution through mediation or arbitration before resorting to litigation, as may be specified in individual project agreements.

14. General Provisions

Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable project agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and LOK - TEST A/S regarding your use of our services.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of LOK - TEST A/S.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these terms or your rights and obligations hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these terms without restriction.

Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond their reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, labor disputes, or governmental actions.
