TheGates Export Plugin & Hosting

Terms of Service

Last updated: October 2025

Thank you for using TheGates! These Terms of Service apply only to TheGates Export Plugin and its associated hosting service (“TheGates Hosting”). Other parts of TheGates ecosystem, such as TheGates App, may be governed by separate or additional terms.

1. About TheGates Export Plugin & Hosting

TheGates (“we”, “our”, or “us”) provides tools and hosting services that allow users to publish, update, and share projects created with the Godot Engine. When you use our services—including the export plugin or hosting platform—you agree to these Terms.

2. Ownership and Intellectual Property

  • You retain full ownership and rights to your projects, assets, and intellectual property.
  • By uploading or publishing your project, you grant us a non-exclusive, revocable license to host, display, and distribute your project only as needed to provide our service (for example, to serve files to users who visit your project).
  • You can delete your project at any time, which will end this license.
  • We do not claim ownership or control over your content.

3. User Responsibilities

  • You are responsible for the content you upload, including ensuring it does not violate any laws, copyrights, or third-party rights.
  • You agree not to upload or distribute any content that is harmful, illegal, infringing, or malicious.
  • You are responsible for managing your backups; while we aim for reliability, we cannot guarantee permanent data storage.

4. Hosting and Data Usage

  • Our hosting platform acts purely as a hosting provider. We do not edit, modify, or claim your content.
  • You may remove your content at any time via your account or plugin.
  • We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law.
  • We may temporarily store logs and analytics to maintain and improve the platform.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the hosting platform to:

  • Upload or host malware or security exploits.
  • Abuse bandwidth or system resources.
  • Impersonate others or misrepresent your project’s origin.
  • Upload content that promotes hate, violence, or discrimination.

6. Service Availability

We do our best to keep the hosting platform online, but the service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee uptime, speed, or that all data will be preserved.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • TheGates service and its developers are not liable for any damages, loss of data, or loss of revenue resulting from your use (or inability to use) the service.
  • Your use of the service is entirely at your own risk.

8. Termination

You may stop using the service or delete your content at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if:

  • You violate these Terms,
  • You misuse the platform, or
  • Required by law.

Upon termination, your hosted projects and associated data may be deleted.

9. Updates to These Terms

We may update these Terms periodically. If we make significant changes, we will notify you via our site or plugin. Continued use of the service after updates means you accept the revised Terms.
