Your continued use of the site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.

2. Description of Service

Ludic Compass is a diagnostic tool designed to identify what mainstream gamers are missing in AAA titles and match them with curated indie game solutions.

If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and consented to these terms. You agree to use Ludic Compass solely for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe upon the rights of others or restrict their use and enjoyment of the platform.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account information and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

All content on Ludic Compass—including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, diagnostic frameworks, mechanics breakdowns, curated recommendations, screenshots, and design elements—is the property of Ludic Compass or its content providers and is protected by international copyright and intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, transmit, display, or perform any content from this site without prior written permission from Ludic Compass.

6. Disclaimers

Ludic Compass provides its diagnostic tool and game recommendations on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any recommendations for your individual gaming preferences. Game suitability is subjective, and recommendations are based on identified player pain points and design mechanics; actual enjoyment depends on personal taste.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these terms or your use of Ludic Compass shall not exceed the amount you have paid to us, if any, in the twelve months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so this limitation may not apply to you.
