3. Intellectual Property Rights
All content on the Site, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, game recommendations, diagnostic frameworks, reasoning chains, and interactive tools, is the property of Breakpoint or its content providers and is protected by United Kingdom and international copyright law. You may not reproduce, distribute, transmit, display, or perform any content from the Site without prior written permission from Breakpoint, except for personal, non-commercial use on a single device.
References to third-party games, studios, and intellectual property are for informational purposes only. Breakpoint does not claim ownership of external game titles or their associated trademarks. Game recommendations and diagnostic reasoning are original analysis provided by Breakpoint.
4. User-Generated Content
If the Site permits you to submit comments, reviews, or other user-generated content, you retain ownership of that content but grant Breakpoint a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual licence to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute your submission in any medium. You warrant that any content you submit is original, does not infringe third-party rights, and complies with these terms. Breakpoint reserves the right to remove or edit any user-generated content at its discretion.
5. Disclaimers
The Site is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. Breakpoint makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any content, game recommendations, or diagnostic assessments. While we strive to provide transparent reasoning for our recommendations, we do not guarantee that any suggested game will meet your specific needs or preferences.
Breakpoint does not warrant that:
- The Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful code
- Any defects will be corrected
- Game recommendations will suit all users or all break-time scenarios
- Third-party game links or external content will remain active or unchanged
Your use of the Site and reliance on any recommendations or information is entirely at your own risk.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Breakpoint shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the Site, even if Breakpoint has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In no event shall Breakpoint's total liability to you exceed the amount you have paid to access the Site in the twelve months preceding the claim, or £50, whichever is lower. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability, so these provisions may not apply to you in full.
7. Third-Party Links and Content
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including game stores, developer pages, and external reviews. Breakpoint does not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for the content, accuracy, or practices of any linked site. Your use of third-party sites is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information or making purchases.
8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict of law principles. You agree that any legal action or proceeding arising from these terms or your use of the Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
9. Changes to These Terms
Breakpoint reserves the right to update or modify these Terms of Service at any time without prior notice. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Site. Your continued use of the Site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed of any updates.
10. Termination
Breakpoint may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Termination may result from violation of these terms, misuse of the Site, or at Breakpoint's sole discretion. Upon termination, your right to use the Site ceases immediately.
11. Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Service is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if not possible, shall be severed. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
12. Entire Agreement
These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies published on the Site, constitute the entire agreement between you and Breakpoint regarding your use of the Site and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and negotiations, whether written or oral.
