2. Intellectual Property

2.1 Our Content

All content on this Site — including text, graphics, logos, artwork, character illustrations, game screenshots, animation, and code — is the property of Kef Sensei or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing on this Site grants you any licence to use our intellectual property except as expressly stated in these Terms.

2.2 Game Assets

Game artwork, character designs (including the "Sensei" mascot and "Roxy" character), symbol sprites, and other game-related assets displayed on this Site are proprietary to Kef Sensei or its clients and may not be reproduced, adapted, or used without explicit written consent.

2.3 Client Work

Screenshots or references to work performed under client contracts are displayed with the understanding that ownership of such deliverables resides with the respective client unless otherwise agreed in writing. Display of this work on our portfolio does not constitute a transfer or licence of any rights from such clients.

3. Contact Form Submissions & Pre-Engagement Inquiries

3.1 Nature of Inquiries

Submitting a message through our contact form does not create a contractual relationship, employment relationship, or any obligation on our part to provide services, respond by a specific time, or retain your submission confidentially beyond the terms described in our Privacy Policy.

3.2 Unsolicited Ideas

If you submit unsolicited creative ideas, suggestions, or concepts, you acknowledge that: (a) such submissions are non-confidential unless covered by a separately executed Non-Disclosure Agreement; (b) we may already be developing similar concepts independently; and (c) you will not be entitled to compensation if we develop something similar through independent effort.

3.3 No Guarantee of Engagement

Responding to an inquiry, requesting additional information, or providing a preliminary scope estimate does not constitute an offer or acceptance to enter into a project agreement. Binding engagements require a signed Statement of Work, Master Services Agreement, or equivalent written instrument.

4. Confidentiality & Partnership Data

4.1 Our Confidentiality Commitment

We treat all project-specific information shared with us during the course of an engagement — including design documents, game concepts, technical specifications, business plans, financial projections, and unreleased game assets — as strictly confidential. We do not disclose client project details to third parties without express written consent.

4.2 Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)

For sensitive projects, we are willing and accustomed to executing mutual NDAs before substantive discussions begin. If you require an NDA prior to sharing your project details, please request one at info@kefsensei.com. Standard NDA terms cover: mutual confidentiality, a 3–5 year term, standard exclusions for publicly available information, and jurisdiction-appropriate governing law.

4.3 Data Security in Engagements

During active project engagements, we maintain appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to protect client data, including access controls, encrypted communications, and restricted distribution of sensitive materials within our team on a need-to-know basis.

4.4 Post-Engagement

Upon completion or termination of an engagement, we return or securely delete client data in accordance with the terms of the applicable project agreement. In the absence of a specific agreement, we follow our default data retention practices described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Third-Party Links

This Site may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., game stores, partner sites, social media profiles). These links are provided for convenience only. We do not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party site. Access to third-party sites is at your own risk.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

This Site and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. We make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any content on the Site.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Kef Sensei and its team members shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your access to or use of (or inability to use) this Site, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or loss of business opportunities, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from use of this Site shall not exceed one hundred US dollars (USD $100). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in such cases, the above limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Kef Sensei and its team members from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use of or inability to use the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any third-party rights.

9. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any dispute arising under or in connection with these Terms that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to binding arbitration or, where arbitration is not available, to the competent courts of the jurisdiction in which we are established. You and we agree to attempt to resolve disputes informally by contacting us first at info@kefsensei.com.

Specific service agreements may specify a different governing law; in such cases, the terms of the signed agreement control.

10. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes become effective upon posting to this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

11. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

12. Entire Agreement

These Terms (together with our Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and Kef Sensei regarding your use of this Site and supersede any prior agreements or understandings relating to such use. They do not apply to and are not superseded by any separately executed client agreement or NDA.
