Terms of use

1. The Services

HELM is offered in various stages (e.g. private alpha, beta, or general availability). Features, pricing, and availability may change. We may suspend or limit access for maintenance, security, or compliance. Nothing on the site is an offer to sell until we expressly confirm terms of a commercial agreement.

2. Accounts & eligibility

You must provide accurate registration information and keep credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity under your account. You must be of legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction, or have a guardian's permission where required.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Services in violation of law or third-party rights;
• Probe, scrape, or attack our systems, or circumvent security or rate limits;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code except where law permits;
• Use the Services to generate or distribute malware, harass others, or send spam;
• Resell or sublicense HELM without our written consent.

4. Intellectual property

Ludotronics and its licensors own the Services, including software, branding, documentation, and related content. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to use the Services according to these Terms and any separate license (e.g. end-user license agreement) presented at install or signup. Except for rights expressly granted, all rights are reserved.

5. Your content

You retain rights to prompts, project data, and assets you submit. You grant Ludotronics the license needed to operate the Services for you - for example to process, store, and transmit your content at your direction. You represent you have the rights to submit that content.

6. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LUDOTRONICS DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, or that HELM outputs will meet your requirements or be free of defects during pre-release phases.

7. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LUDOTRONICS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICES IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID US). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases our liability is limited to the fullest extent allowed.

8. Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify Ludotronics and its officers, employees, and affiliates against claims arising from your use of the Services, your content, or your breach of these Terms, subject to applicable law.

9. Third-party services

HELM may integrate with engines, DCC tools, APIs, and cloud providers. Those services are governed by their own terms. Ludotronics is not responsible for third-party services you choose to connect.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms, risk to the platform, or discontinuation of a program. Sections that by nature should survive (e.g. intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability) will survive termination.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, excluding conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory local law requires otherwise. Courts in that state have exclusive jurisdiction, unless you benefit from non-waivable rights in your country of residence.

12. Changes

We may modify these Terms by posting an updated version and revising the date above. For material changes to paid services, we will provide additional notice where appropriate. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
