Our Services

Service Description

Quarterstack provides arcade game development services including indie development partnerships, art direction, and player experience research. The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing for each project are defined in separate service agreements or project proposals.

Service Engagement

Engagement of our services requires a formal agreement that outlines project details, timelines, deliverables, and payment terms. These Terms of Service are supplemented by, and do not replace, the specific terms outlined in individual service agreements.

Fair Use Guidelines

We expect clients to engage with our services in good faith and maintain respectful, professional communication. Excessive demands, unreasonable requests, or abusive behavior may result in termination of services as outlined in individual service agreements.

Account Management

Account Creation

While our public website does not require account creation, future services or client portals may require you to create an account. When creating an account, you must provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are responsible for updating your information as needed.

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized access or security breach. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account information.

Account Suspension and Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to our website or services if you violate these Terms of Service, engage in fraudulent activity, or use our services in a manner that could harm our business or other users. We will provide notice when possible, though immediate suspension may occur in cases of serious violations.

Service Availability and Modifications

Website Availability

While we strive to maintain consistent website availability, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The website may be unavailable due to maintenance, updates, technical issues, or circumstances beyond our control. We are not liable for any inconvenience or loss resulting from website downtime.

Service Features and Updates

We may add, modify, or remove features of our website or services at our discretion. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes that affect their use of our services.

Geographic Availability

Our services are primarily available to clients who can work with us remotely or are based in areas we service. We may decline to provide services in certain geographic regions based on legal, practical, or business considerations.

Intellectual Property Rights

Our Content Ownership

All content on our website, including text, graphics, logos, images, and software, is the property of Quarterstack or our content suppliers and is protected by Australian and international copyright laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our content without explicit permission.

Client Content Rights

When you provide content to us through contact forms or other submissions, you grant us a license to use that content for the purpose of providing our services and communicating with you. Project-specific intellectual property rights are addressed in individual service agreements.

Our total liability for any claims related to our website or services shall not exceed the amount you have paid us for services in the six months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability limitations, so these limitations may not apply to you.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and may notify you through our website or other communication channels. Your continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
