1. Introduction and Acceptance

Welcome to bloodhoundgame.com (the “Site“), a marketing website operated by [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME] (“we“, “us“, “our“, “Bloodhound” or the “Studio“). The video game Bloodhound (the “Game“) is published by Kruger & Flint Productions (the “Publisher“) and distributed via Valve Corporation’s Steam platform. These Terms of Service (“Terms“) govern your use of the Site only; the Game itself is subject to Valve’s Steam Subscriber Agreement and any applicable in-game end-user licence agreement.

By accessing or using the Site you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

2. Eligibility

You may use the Site only if you can form a binding contract with us under your local law. If you are a minor in your jurisdiction (typically under 18 years), you must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian to use the Site. We reserve the right to deny access to any user at any time.

The Game itself may carry age ratings under PEGI, ESRB, USK, CERO, ACB, or other relevant bodies. Refer to the Game’s Steam store page for the rating applicable in your region. Do not purchase or play the Game if you are below the rated age.

3. Description of the Service

The Site provides marketing information about the Game, news, links to the Steam store page, links to our community channels (Discord, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), a contact form, and legal notices. The Site does not sell the Game directly; all purchases are completed on Steam under Valve’s terms.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance.

Submit content that infringes intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person;
Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation;
Upload viruses, malware, or any code intended to disrupt or damage software, hardware, or telecommunications;
Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site or breach security or authentication measures without our prior written consent;
Use any automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the Site beyond what is permitted by our robots.txt and rate limits;
Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the Site or attempt to derive source code from it;
Send spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or unsolicited promotional content via the contact form;
Use the Site for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent.

We reserve the right to investigate violations and to take legal action, including reporting to law-enforcement authorities.

5. User-Generated Content (Contact Form Submissions)

When you submit information via the contact form or by emailing us, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable licence to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, and display such submissions for the purposes of responding to you, improving the Site and the Game, and operating our business. You retain ownership of your submissions.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant the foregoing licence and that your submissions do not infringe any third-party rights or breach Section 4 above.

We are under no obligation to act on or respond to your submissions, and we do not undertake to keep them confidential. Do not submit information you consider sensitive or proprietary.

8. Disclaimers

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

We do not warrant that the Site will meet your requirements, that any errors will be corrected, or that the Site or the servers that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions some of the above exclusions may not apply to you, and you may have additional consumer rights that cannot be limited by contract.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE, OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE.

OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED EURO (€100) OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID DIRECTLY TO US (NOT TO STEAM/VALVE) IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (iii) gross negligence or wilful misconduct; (iv) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including under EU consumer-protection law and applicable consumer-protection statutes in your jurisdiction).

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME], its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:

Your breach of these Terms;
Your violation of any law or third-party rights;
Your user submissions, including content you submit via the contact form.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site, in whole or in part, at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice and without liability to you. You may stop using the Site at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including IP, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and these surviving sections) will survive.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

12.1 Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING_JURISDICTION — e.g., the Republic of Poland], without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

EU consumers: if you are a consumer habitually resident in the European Union, you also benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence — nothing in this clause limits those rights.

12.2 Forum

Subject to applicable mandatory consumer-protection rules, any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Site will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of [COMPETENT_COURT — e.g., Warsaw, Poland]. EU consumers may also bring proceedings in the courts of their country of residence.

12.3 EU online dispute resolution

Consumers in the EU may use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are not obliged to participate in ADR proceedings before a consumer arbitration body.

12.4 California — informal dispute resolution and arbitration

California residents agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us at press@bloodhoundgame.com for at least 60 days before initiating any formal proceeding. Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on the Site for at least 14 days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Site after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Site.

14. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals.

15. No Waiver; Assignment

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; any purported assignment in violation of this provision is void. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
