Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using sboxcool.com ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. We may update these terms at any time; continued use constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

2. The Service

sboxcool.com provides free community tools, cloud-based data storage APIs ("Network Storage"), and related services for s&box game development. The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice. We are not obligated to maintain, support, or update the Service.

3. Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials, API keys, and secret keys. Do not share secret keys publicly or embed them in client-side code.

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or to store illegal content
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or its infrastructure
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, servers, or connected networks
• Abuse rate limits or attempt to circumvent usage quotas
• Use the Service to store or transmit malware, phishing content, or spam
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the Service without permission
• Store sensitive personal information (financial data, health records, government IDs) in Network Storage

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms without notice.

5. Network Storage & API

Network Storage is designed for game data (player saves, leaderboards, configuration). It is not a general-purpose database or a backup service.

• Data is stored on third-party CDN infrastructure and may be cached globally
• We do not guarantee data durability, availability, or specific recovery time objectives
• We make no uptime commitment, service level agreement (SLA), or availability guarantee of any kind for Network Storage or any other part of the Service
• Network Storage relies on third-party CDN infrastructure whose availability is outside our control; outages, cache inconsistencies, and propagation delays are inherent to this model
• We are not responsible for any impact to your game, your players, or your business caused by Network Storage unavailability, errors, or data loss -- including but not limited to player churn, lost in-game transactions, or any other downstream effect
• Free-tier storage is subject to usage quotas that may change
• We may delete data from inactive projects after extended periods of inactivity
• API rate limits and status codes are documented and may be adjusted

You retain ownership of all data you store through the Service. We do not claim any rights to your content. You are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of any data you consider important -- Network Storage must not be used as your only copy of critical data.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement
• We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service
• We are not liable for any data loss, corruption, downtime, or service interruption
• We are not liable for any loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, lost business opportunities, or other economic loss of any kind -- whether direct or indirect -- arising from downtime, data unavailability, data loss, API errors, or any other failure or limitation of the Service
• Our total liability for any claim related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim (which for free-tier users is zero)
• We are not responsible for the actions of third-party services (CDN providers, authentication providers) that the Service depends on

You use the Service at your own risk. You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of any data you consider important.

Goodwill refunds. In some circumstances, at our sole and absolute discretion, we may offer a goodwill refund for charges paid during a period of significant Service disruption. Any such refund is offered purely as a gesture of goodwill. It is not an admission of liability, fault, or wrongdoing; it does not waive any right or limitation set out in these Terms; and it establishes no precedent for future incidents. We are under no obligation to offer a refund and reserve the right to decline any request. Goodwill refunds are limited to amounts actually paid for the billing period in which the incident occurred.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless sboxcool.com, its operators, and contributors from any claims, losses, or damages (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, its design, and its underlying code are the property of sboxcool.com. "s&box" is a trademark of Facepunch Studios. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Facepunch Studios.

Tools and content generated through the Service (terrain textures, converted models, etc.) belong to you. We claim no ownership over your generated outputs.

9. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access at any time, for any reason, without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (liability limitations, indemnification) will remain in effect.
