These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Pascal Goedde, operating under the name “Verse Digital”, Solomou Solomou 10, Emba, Paphos 8250, Cyprus ("HeadBox," "we," "us," or "our"), the operator of the HeadBox game platform ("Platform"). Verse Digital is a business name and is not an incorporated company. By creating an account, accessing the Platform, purchasing Founder Access, or otherwise using any services provided by HeadBox, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms in their entirety.

These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, both of which are considered integral parts of this agreement. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any supplemental policies, these Terms shall prevail unless explicitly stated otherwise.

HeadBox reserves the right to modify, update, or replace these Terms at any time at its sole discretion. Continued use of the Platform following any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for updates.

Joining the HeadBox waitlist is open to everyone and has no minimum age. To purchase or use Founder Access, play HeadBox, or take part in competitions, you must meet all of the following eligibility requirements:

• You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher;
• You must be resident in, and accessing the Platform from, a jurisdiction in which use of the Platform is lawful;
• You must not be located in any jurisdiction where participation would be prohibited by applicable law or regulation;
• You must not be the operator of HeadBox, a person working on HeadBox on the operator's behalf (such as a contractor), or an immediate family member of either;
• You must not have been previously banned, suspended, or had your account terminated by HeadBox for any reason.

By registering, you confirm the information you provide is accurate and complete, and that you will keep it up to date. HeadBox may suspend or terminate any account registered with inaccurate or misleading information.

You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity under your account, and must notify HeadBox immediately of any unauthorised use. HeadBox is not liable for loss resulting from your failure to do so.

Each individual may only register and maintain one (1) account on the Platform. Creation of multiple accounts, including for the purpose of circumventing restrictions or bans, is strictly prohibited and will result in permanent termination of all associated accounts.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, HeadBox grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Platform solely for your personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes. This license does not include any right to:

• Reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, or exploit any portion of the Platform or its content;
• Use any data mining, scraping, crawling, or similar automated data gathering or extraction tools;
• Access the Platform or its underlying systems through any automated means, including bots, scripts, or other programmatic methods;
• Frame, mirror, or otherwise incorporate any part of the Platform into any other website or application;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the Platform.

HeadBox reserves the right at any time and without notice to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Platform or any portion thereof, with or without notice. You agree that HeadBox shall not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuance.

The Platform may link to third-party sites and services that HeadBox does not control and takes no responsibility for. Please read the terms and privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.

HeadBox is currently in development, and Founder Access has not launched yet. Joining the waitlist is free and requires no payment. When it launches, Founder Access will be a paid, recurring subscription that gives you access to HeadBox during its development stage, so that you can play the game as it is built and help shape it. HeadBox is not a finished product, and Founder Access is not the purchase of one. The points below apply once Founder Access is available and you purchase it.

By purchasing and holding Founder Access, you understand and accept that:

• Features may change. Game modes, mechanics, balance, systems, and interfaces may be added, altered, or removed at any time without notice;
• Content is still in development. Parts of the Platform may be incomplete, placeholder, or temporarily unavailable, and bugs, downtime, and performance issues are to be expected;
• Progress may be reset. Accounts, usernames, statistics, leaderboard standings, and in-game progress may be wiped in whole or in part between builds, and no progress is guaranteed to carry over into any future release;
• Community feedback shapes the game. Reports, suggestions, and feedback submitted during Founder Access are actively used to guide development, on the terms set out in Section 7;
• Subscription and billing through Xsolla. Founder Access will be purchased from within the game. Payments, recurring billing, and subscription management are handled by our payment provider, Xsolla, and are also subject to Xsolla's own terms and privacy policy. The price, billing period, and any applicable taxes are shown to you before you confirm your purchase, and the subscription renews on a recurring basis until it is cancelled;
• Cancellation and end of access. You can cancel Founder Access at any time through the subscription management options provided in the game or by Xsolla. Unless stated otherwise at the point of purchase, cancellation stops future renewals and your access continues until the end of the period already paid for. When your subscription ends, your access to HeadBox and to Founder Access features ends with it. Refund requests are handled in accordance with applicable law and Xsolla's refund process, and nothing in these Terms limits any statutory rights you have as a consumer;
• No ownership. Founder Access is a limited, revocable licence to access HeadBox under Section 3 for as long as your subscription is active. It does not give you ownership of HeadBox, of any copy of the game, or of any in-game items, progress, or content, and it is not an investment in, or a share of, Verse Digital or its revenue;
• Patreon is separate. Patreon memberships are an optional, additional way to support the project. They are handled by Patreon under its own terms, are not required to join the waitlist or to access HeadBox, and do not provide or replace Founder Access;
• No monetary rewards. The Platform does not offer paid entry to competitions or any form of monetary reward. Any prizes or rewards shown during Founder Access are simulated and have no real-world value.

HeadBox may end, extend, suspend, or change Founder Access and the development stage at any time, and may introduce additional or replacement terms before any full release. HeadBox is currently planned to launch as free to play at its full public release. That plan may change, and any later release may be offered on different terms. Nothing in these Terms obliges HeadBox to release a finished version of the Platform.

You agree to use the HeadBox Platform in a manner consistent with all applicable laws, regulations, and these Terms. You are fully responsible for all content you post, submit, or transmit through the Platform, and for all actions taken under your account.

By using the Platform, you agree to conduct yourself in a sportsmanlike and respectful manner at all times. You agree that you will not:

• Harass, abuse, threaten, defame, or intimidate other users, employees, or representatives of HeadBox;
• Post or transmit any content that is unlawful, harmful, offensive, obscene, hateful, discriminatory, or otherwise objectionable;
• Share, sell, or transfer your account credentials to any third party;
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person or entity;
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Platform or its servers;
• Use the Platform for any commercial purpose not expressly authorized by HeadBox in writing.

HeadBox may monitor activity on the Platform and respond to conduct that breaches these Terms or harms the Platform or its users — including removing content and suspending or terminating accounts.

The following activities are strictly prohibited on the HeadBox Platform and may result in immediate and permanent account termination and potential legal action:

• Cheating & Hacking: Use of any unauthorized software, scripts, bots, aimbots, exploits, or third-party tools that provide an unfair competitive advantage;
• Account Manipulation: Creating, buying, selling, or using multiple accounts; boosting accounts; or any form of account sharing;
• Fraud: Providing false identity information or misrepresenting your eligibility to use the Platform;
• Unauthorized Access: Attempting to access, probe, or test the vulnerability of the Platform's systems without explicit written authorization;
• Interference: Introducing viruses, malware, or any other malicious code to the Platform;
• Harassment: Engaging in sustained, targeted harassment or coordinated campaigns against other users or HeadBox staff;
• Misuse of Support: Filing false reports, abusing the dispute resolution process, or engaging in bad-faith communications with HeadBox support.

HeadBox may use automated detection and manual review to identify prohibited activities. Determinations of prohibited activity are made at HeadBox's sole discretion and are final subject to the dispute process in Section 12.

The Platform and everything in it — software, design, artwork, audio, video, and text (collectively, "Platform Content") — is the exclusive property of the operator of HeadBox (Pascal Goedde, operating under the name “Verse Digital”) and its licensors, and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

The HeadBox name, logo, and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks or brand names used by the operator of HeadBox under the name “Verse Digital”. You may not use such marks without our prior written consent.

Feedback, suggestions, and ideas you send us about the Platform ("Feedback") become the property of HeadBox. You assign us all rights in that Feedback, and we may use it for any purpose without restriction or payment to you.

You are granted no intellectual property rights in the Platform or its content beyond the limited license expressly described in Section 3. Purchasing Founder Access does not transfer ownership of the Platform, the game, or any Platform Content to you. Any unauthorized use of Platform Content may violate copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws and could result in civil or criminal penalties.

Your use of the HeadBox Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and process your personal data and the legal bases we rely on.

HeadBox collects account information, gameplay data, and device information in connection with your use of the Platform. This data is used to operate, maintain, and improve the Platform, to communicate with users, and to meet legal obligations.

HeadBox takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, but no internet transmission or storage system is entirely secure and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

You have certain rights in relation to your personal data, including rights of access, rectification, erasure, and data portability, subject to applicable data protection laws. To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@verse-digital.net or using the other contact details provided in Section 15.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, HeadBox expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

HeadBox does not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, that defects will be corrected, or that any content on the Platform is accurate or complete. This is especially relevant during the development stage.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL HEADBOX, ITS OPERATOR, OR ITS CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR:

• Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages;
• Any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities;
• Any damages resulting from interruption of access to the Platform;
• Any unauthorized access to or alteration of your account or data;
• Any conduct or content of any third party on or accessed through the Platform.

Where liability cannot be excluded by law, HeadBox's total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Platform shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount, if any, you have paid to HeadBox in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred Euros (€100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liability. The limitations above may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HeadBox, its operator (Pascal Goedde, operating under the name “Verse Digital”), and the operator's contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

• Your access to or use of the Platform;
• Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law, rule, or regulation;
• Your violation of any rights of a third party, including intellectual property rights or privacy rights;
• Any content or information you submit, post, or transmit through the Platform;
• Your negligent or willful misconduct.

HeadBox reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of HeadBox.

HeadBox reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your account and access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, for any reason at its sole discretion, including but not limited to:

• Actual or suspected violation of these Terms or any supplemental policies;
• Fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise illegal activity;
• Requests by law enforcement or other government agencies;
• Discontinuation or material modification of the Platform;
• Unexpected technical or security issues or problems;
• Extended periods of account inactivity.

Upon termination, your right to access and use the Platform, including any access provided through Founder Access, will immediately cease. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

HeadBox shall not be liable to you or any third party for any suspension or termination of your access to the Platform, or for the loss of any account data or in-game progress resulting from it.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting HeadBox support. Closing your account does not by itself cancel an active Founder Access subscription; please cancel it through the subscription management options provided in the game or by Xsolla to stop future payments. Termination does not relieve you of any obligations or liabilities that arose prior to termination.

If a dispute arises out of these Terms or your use of the Platform ("Dispute"), please first contact HeadBox using the details in Section 15 so we can try to resolve it informally. HeadBox will make reasonable efforts to respond promptly.

If the Dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 days, either party may refer it to the competent courts in accordance with Section 13, or, where both parties agree, to an alternative dispute resolution procedure. Nothing in this Section limits any right you have as a consumer to use an alternative dispute resolution body or to bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights or confidential information pending the outcome of any proceedings.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any Dispute shall be resolved on an individual basis only, and not as a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. You hereby waive your right to participate in any class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

These Terms, and any Dispute arising from them or the Platform, are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you habitually reside. Disputes may be brought before the competent courts of Cyprus; if you are a consumer, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live, and any mandatory rules on where proceedings against consumers must be brought continue to apply.

If you access the Platform from outside Cyprus, you are responsible for complying with local law. HeadBox makes no representation that the Platform is appropriate or lawful in every location, and access from territories where it would be unlawful is prohibited.

HeadBox reserves the right to revise and update these Terms at any time in its sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately upon posting and apply to all access to and use of the Platform thereafter. Your continued use of the Platform following the posting of revised Terms means you accept and agree to the changes.

For material changes, HeadBox will make reasonable efforts to give advance notice — a notice on the Platform, an email to your registered address, or other reasonable means. Please review these Terms from time to time.

If you do not agree to any updated Terms, you must stop using the Platform immediately and may terminate your account in accordance with Section 11.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding these Terms of Use or the HeadBox Platform, please contact us through the following channels:

• General Inquiries & Support: Available through the Help Center accessible via the Platform
• Operator: Pascal Goedde, operating under the name “Verse Digital”, Solomou Solomou 10, Emba, Paphos 8250, Cyprus
• Email (including legal and data protection matters): info@verse-digital.net

HeadBox will make reasonable efforts to respond to legitimate enquiries in good time. Legal, data protection, and formal dispute matters may take longer depending on complexity.
