Other than as mentioned above, our overall liability under these Terms of Use to you is limited to £10 (ten pounds).

Our Website, and any updates and any additional content, are provided ‘as is’. That means we don't make any promises to you about our Website other than that it will be of satisfactory quality, as described and fit for purpose.

We'll use reasonable skill and care to provide our Website, but can't guarantee there won't be any errors, bugs or interruptions to them, or that our Website will not cause any problems with your device.

Please notify us straight away if you discover any problems with our Website, so we are aware and can decide whether it is something we need to address in a future update. You can contact us to let us know about any problems with our Website the following email address privacy@buildarocketboy.com .

You are responsible for configuring your information technology, computer programmes and platform to access our Website, and you should also use your own virus protection software.

PRIVACY

Under data protection legislation, we are required to provide you with certain information about who we are, how we process your personal data and for what purposes and your rights in relation to your personal data and how to exercise them. This information is provided in our Privacy Policy and it is important that you read that information.

Please take care when disclosing any information about yourself on or through our Website, as people may not necessarily be who they say they are, or may behave in an unreliable, misleading or illegal way.

Whilst we cannot control information you choose to provide to other users, we strongly recommend that you exercise caution, act sensibly and not disclose any information which you do not wish to have disseminated into the wider public internet. Any disclosures of your information by you to other users are made by you at your own risk. Once information is disclosed by you in this way, it may not be possible for us to prevent its dissemination over the public internet.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All intellectual property rights in our Website throughout the world belong to us and our licensors, and the rights in our Website are granted to you by way of a limited license (and are not sold) to you. You have no intellectual property rights in, or to, our Website other than the right to use our Website in accordance with these Terms of Use. Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms of Use, all rights are reserved by us and our licensors.

FEEDBACK AND/OR UNSOLICITED CONTENT

Please note that we do not accept any unsolicited feedback or ideas, including submissions around concepts, creative ideas, suggestions, stories, scripts, products, games or any other potential creative content (together “Unsolicited Content”). By nonetheless providing us with such, you renounce any possible claim against us and our affiliates with respect to any intellectual property rights vested in such Unsolicited Content, including, but not limited to, copyrights. We will also not compensate you in such instance. Any unsolicited feedback or submission will be disregarded, to avoid any possible misunderstanding around intellectual property rights vested in our work. Receiving your submission of Unsolicited Content will not prevent us from offering, promoting, or developing products or games that compete with your Unsolicited Concept, or working with others to do so. By submitting any Unsolicited Content to us, you are agreeing to these terms.

TERMINATION AND SERVICE OUTAGE

We do not guarantee that our Website, or any content on it, will always be available or be uninterrupted. We may temporarily discontinue our Website and any and all services and content available through them at any time for the purposes of updates, maintenance or other service administration reasons. We will use our reasonable endeavours to limit the length of time this occurs for.

Failure to comply with these Terms of Use may result in us taking all or any of the following actions (or any other action we deem reasonably necessary):

  • temporary or permanent removal of any User-Generated Content uploaded by you to our Website, or your right to use our Website;
  • issue of a warning to you;
  • legal proceedings against you for reimbursement of all costs on an indemnity basis (including reasonable administrative and legal costs) resulting from the breach;
  • further legal action against you; and
  • disclosure of such information to law enforcement authorities as we reasonably feel is necessary.

We may terminate our agreement with you (in whole or in part) for any reason at our discretion upon reasonable notice to you. This may happen because we choose to end the availability of our Website, and you will not be entitled to compensation in this event.

GENERAL

We reserve the right to amend this Agreement at any time and without prior notice. Any changes we make to this Agreement will be posted on this page and where appropriate, may be notified to you by e-mail. We recommend that you review this Agreement from time to time as any changes we make will be binding on you.

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms of Use to another organisation. We will let you know if that happens and we will ensure that your rights under these Terms of Use are unaffected. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use unless we expressly agree to the transfer in writing.

Except where expressly stated to the contrary in these Terms of Use, these Terms of Use do not give rise to any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of these Terms of Use.

Even if we delay in enforcing these Terms of Use and/or our rights, we can still enforce these Terms of Use and/or our rights later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms of Use, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaching these Terms of Use, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

These Terms of Use are governed by Scots law and you can bring proceedings in respect of these Terms of Use in the courts of Scotland. In addition you may have the legal right to bring proceedings in your local jurisdiction and if this is the case then you may bring proceedings there.

Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to consider an alternative dispute resolution provider. In addition, please note that disputes may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform.
