Terms of Service
Effective as of July 9, 2026
Acceptance of the Terms of Service
These Terms of Service cover Signalforest, a puzzle-adventure game you can find on Steam and itch.io, along with all the related digital platforms and services that come with it (we call all of this the "Services"). This is a legal agreement between you—the person using the Services—and Signalforest (that's us, the "Company"). These Terms spell out how you can access and use what we offer. BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU'RE AGREEING TO FOLLOW THESE TERMS. IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THEM, DON'T USE THE SERVICES.
Modifications to the Terms of Service and to the Services
We can change these Terms whenever we think it's necessary. When we do, the changes go live as soon as we post them. You're in charge of checking back here now and then so you know what's new. If you keep using the Services after we make changes, that means you're okay with the updated version. The Services themselves, including everything you can access through them, can change at any time without us giving you a heads up. We won't be on the hook if the Services become unavailable or limited for any reason.
Use of the Services
We do what we can to keep your information safe from people who shouldn't see it. That said, security isn't just on us—you have a part to play too. You need to keep your login details private and make sure anyone who uses the Services through your account understands these Terms. When you use the Services, give us information that's real, up to date, and complete. Let us know right away if anything changes. The thing about the internet is that nothing sent over it is completely secure. We protect your data as best we can, but we can't promise it won't get intercepted. Any risk from sending data is yours. If someone figures out how to get past our privacy settings or security measures, that's not something we're responsible for. Don't do any of this: get into places you're not supposed to; try to break through security; mess with the service for other people; use bots or scripts to grab our content; introduce viruses, trojans, or anything malicious; launch attacks meant to knock the service down; or otherwise gunk up how the Services work.
Account Set-up and Subscription Services
Some parts of the Services need you to set up an account with a username and password ("Login Credentials"). You have to be at least 18 to make an account. You can also log in through Apple ID or Google. Don't share your Login Credentials with anyone—you're responsible for everything that happens on your account. We can shut down any account anytime, for any reason. Want access to the premium stuff? That requires a subscription ("Subscription"). You buy these through our website or through third-party platforms like the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. One subscription works across multiple devices. You can choose how long you want to pay for it: one month, six months, or the whole year. We can raise Subscription Fees if we give you written notice first, and the new price kicks in at the end of your current period. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel before that happens. When it renews, it's for the same length of time as before (monthly stays monthly, yearly stays yearly). We charge the Subscription Fee to whatever payment method you have on file when it's time to renew. If that payment doesn't go through, you lose access to the premium parts. You can cancel anytime, and it takes effect at the end of your current paid period. If you cancel through your Signalforest account settings, it stops future renewals right away. If you're cancelling through the App Store or Google Play, you have to do it through their subscription tools. After you cancel, you keep access until your paid period ends, and we won't charge you anything more.
Intellectual Property Rights and Ownership
We own the Services and everything in them—the software, code, text, graphics, images, audio, design, the way it all fits together ("Services Content")—and all of it's protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. All the trademarks, logos, product names, designs, and slogans you see here belong to us or other people. You can't use any of that without asking us first in writing. If you try anyway, you're infringing, and we can take legal action. You can only use the Services for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. Don't strip out copyright or trademark notices. You can't change anything, make copies, share it around, create new versions based on it, show it publicly, post it somewhere else, or send it along except in ways we've specifically said are okay. Here's what we do allow: you can temporarily store Services Content on your device; you can download and print reasonable amounts of it for personal, non-commercial use as long as you keep the copyright notices; and you can share content through social media where we've turned that feature on. You don't own any part of the Services or Services Content. Everything we haven't explicitly given you permission to do stays ours. If you use anything without permission, you're breaking these Terms and possibly breaking intellectual property law, and you could face legal consequences.
User Submissions and Conditions of Use
We don't ask for confidential or proprietary stuff through the Services. But if you do send us anything—materials, content, information, ideas ("User Submissions")—you're saying it's all yours, nobody else has a claim on it, and you're giving us permission to use it however we want, forever, worldwide, whether it's for money or not, and we don't have to pay you or credit you. We can delete whatever you submit anytime without explaining ourselves. When you use the Services or send us User Submissions, you're promising you won't: break any laws; violate anyone else's terms, like on social media; include anything exploitative, obscene, harmful, abusive, hateful, defamatory, sexually explicit, violent, or discriminatory; stalk, exploit, or harass anyone, especially kids; ask for personal information you shouldn't have; put in false or misleading stuff; or pretend something is endorsed by someone when it's not.
Enforcement, Suspension, and Termination
We can, without warning you first, take action on User Submissions that break these Terms, pursue legal options including going to law enforcement, shut down or suspend your access if you violate anything here, and work with authorities or courts that ask for your information or identity. YOU'RE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE US, AND YOU'RE PROTECTING US AND OUR TEAM, PARTNERS, STAFF, AND SUCCESSORS FROM ANY CLAIMS THAT COME FROM WHAT WE DO TO INVESTIGATE OR WORK WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT.
No Reliance
What we put in the Services is just information—it's not professional advice. Before you act on anything you read here, get proper professional guidance. We try to keep everything current, but we're not making any promises about whether it's accurate, complete, or up to date. Using the Services is on you, and we're not responsible for how you use it.
Privacy
When you use the Services and give us information, you're okay with us collecting it, using it, storing it, sending it around, and sharing it the way our Privacy Policy describes. If you don't agree to that policy, don't use the Services.
Third-Party Websites
The Services might link to other sites. We don't say anything about what's on those sites and we're not responsible for their content, whether they're legal, or how accurate they are. You go to those sites at your own risk and have to follow their rules. You're welcome to link to the Services as long as it doesn't hurt our reputation or make people think we're endorsing something we're not. Don't put the Services inside a frame on another website. We can take away linking permission anytime without telling you.
Online Purchases
Third-party providers like Shopify and Stripe handle all the buying and payments on our Services. They have their own terms and privacy policies, and we're not responsible for them. You should really read what those companies say before you buy anything.
Copyright Complaints
We take copyright infringement seriously. If you think your copyright got stolen and used here, you can send a written notice to the contact info at the bottom of these Terms. Your notice needs to have: your signature as the copyright owner; what the work is; where it's showing up on our Services; your email and address; a statement saying you believe it's being used without permission; and a sworn statement that everything you said is true. If you think a notice was filed against you by mistake, you can send a counter-notice with: your signature; what material was removed; a sworn statement that the removal was wrong; and your contact information plus agreement that a Federal District Court (or Ontario if you're outside the US) can handle this.
Disclaimer of Warranties
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT USING THE SERVICES, EVERYTHING IN THEM, AND ANYTHING YOU GET THROUGH THEM IS YOUR OWN RISK. THE SERVICES AND EVERYTHING IN THEM COME "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITH NO GUARANTEES OR CONDITIONS, STATED OR IMPLIED, LIKE MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE AND OUR PARTNERS DON'T GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES ARE COMPLETE, SECURE, RELIABLE, SUITABLE, ACCURATE, OR AVAILABLE. WE'RE NOT SAYING THE SERVICES WILL WORK WITHOUT ERRORS, RUN WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, HAVE ALL DEFECTS FIXED, OR THAT OUR SERVERS ARE VIRUS-FREE OR SAFE FROM HARMFUL CODE. WE CAN'T PROMISE THAT FILES YOU DOWNLOAD ARE VIRUS-FREE OR SAFE. YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF YOUR COMPUTER, INTERNET CONNECTION, AND DATA SECURITY. TO THE EXTENT THE LAW LETS US, WE'RE NOT LIABLE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE FROM ATTACKS MEANT TO SHUT DOWN THE SERVICE, FLOODING, VIRUSES, TROJANS, WORMS, LOGIC BOMBS, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT HARMS YOUR EQUIPMENT, PROGRAMS, OR DATA BECAUSE YOU USED THE SERVICES.
Limitation of Liability
WHERE THE LAW ALLOWS, WE AND OUR PARTNERS WON'T BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST MONEY, PROFITS, BUSINESS, USE, REPUTATION, OR DATA, WHETHER FROM BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANYTHING ELSE, COMING FROM USE OF THE SERVICES OR NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THEM, EVEN IF WE KNEW IT MIGHT HAPPEN. WHERE THE LAW ALLOWS, ANYTHING YOU CAN SUE US FOR MAXES OUT AT WHAT YOU PAID US IN THE MONTH RIGHT BEFORE YOU FILED THE CLAIM.
Indemnification
You agree to defend us, pay for our legal costs, and protect us and our partners from any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, or expenses that come from you breaking these Terms or using the Services, including things you submit or third-party sites you use.
Governing Law and Choice of Forum
Ontario law and the laws of Canada govern the Services and these Terms, and we're ignoring any conflict of law rules. Any lawsuit from these Terms has to happen in Ontario courts. You're agreeing to let those courts handle it and you're giving up the right to say they don't have the power to do so. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU'RE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO BE PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST US.
Waiver
If we don't exercise a right, remedy, or privilege, that doesn't mean we've given it up. Doing something once doesn't stop us from doing it again later.
Severability
If any part of these Terms can't be enforced in any place, that doesn't break the rest of the Terms or stop them from working somewhere else.
Entire Agreement
These Terms and our Privacy Policy are everything between you and us about the Services. They replace anything you and us said or agreed to before, written or spoken.
