Terms & Conditions

Terms for using GMDB developer accounts, online services and APIs.

Last updated: 31 October 2026

1. About GMDB

GMDB offers online backend services for GameMaker developers, including player accounts, leaderboards, cloud saves, remote configuration, avatar and image features, privacy policy hosting, documentation and support. Service operator: [insert legal business name and address]. Questions can be sent to info@gmdb.co.uk.

2. Accounts and eligibility

You must provide accurate registration details, keep your credentials secure and use your account lawfully. You are responsible for activity performed using your account and API credentials. Contact us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.

3. Permitted use

You may use GMDB to develop and operate lawful games and related applications. You must not attempt to bypass authentication, exceed rate limits deliberately, disrupt the service, upload unlawful material, infringe intellectual property rights or access another customer's data without authorisation.

4. Plans, pricing and usage

GMDB may offer free and paid plans with different allowances. Current prices and service limits are shown on the relevant pricing and account pages. Requests that exceed plan allowances may be restricted or rejected until allowances reset or your plan changes. [Confirm how billing, renewals, cancellation, refunds and applicable consumer rights operate before publication.]

5. API availability and changes

We aim to provide a reliable service, but maintenance, outages, security incidents and technical issues can occur. We may update endpoints, limits and features to maintain security or improve the platform. Where reasonably practicable, we will communicate material changes.

6. Developer content and player data

You retain responsibility for the content and data you submit, including game assets, player records, leaderboard entries and saved game information. You must have the rights and permissions needed to upload and process that information. You are responsible for giving players suitable privacy information and complying with applicable data protection requirements.

7. Hosted privacy policies

GMDB may provide tools to publish a game's privacy policy. You are responsible for the accuracy, completeness and legal suitability of the text you publish. Hosting a policy through GMDB does not constitute legal advice or a guarantee of compliance with app-store rules.

8. Beta and in-development features

Features identified as experimental, beta or in development, including planned multiplayer functionality, may be incomplete, changed or withdrawn. Do not rely on them for critical production use unless explicitly released for that purpose.

9. Suspension and termination

We may restrict access when reasonably necessary to address security threats, unlawful use, serious breaches or unpaid charges. You may request account closure through available account controls or by contacting support. [Confirm notice periods, export options and deletion timelines.]

10. Intellectual property

GMDB branding, website design and platform software remain the property of their respective owners. These terms do not transfer ownership of your original game content to GMDB.

11. Liability

GMDB is supplied subject to the service commitments and legal protections applicable to your account. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful. [Have a solicitor draft appropriate liability and warranty provisions for your business and customer types.]

12. Governing law

[Insert the applicable governing law and jurisdiction after legal review, taking account of consumer protections where relevant.]

13. Changes and contact

We may update these terms as the platform develops. Material changes will be communicated where required. For questions, email info@gmdb.co.uk.
