# Terms of use

Effective: 28 August 2026

Game Development Studio is provided under the MIT license. These terms clarify
the responsibilities around its optional provider and project-execution
workflows; they do not replace the license.

## Your responsibility

You are responsible for:

- reviewing commands and dry-run plans before authorizing writes or execution
- keeping provider credentials and accounts secure
- setting appropriate provider budgets and understanding that local estimates
  are not invoices
- having the right to upload, transform, distribute, and vendor each input or
  generated asset
- checking third-party licenses, provider terms, export rules, and project
  requirements
- validating assets and captures in the actual target game and hardware

## Third-party services and software

Tripo, Leonardo, Blender, Apple tools, game engines, and other integrations are
independent products governed by their own terms. Their availability, pricing,
outputs, and behavior can change. No affiliation or endorsement is implied.

### User-operated provider boundary

Optional Tripo and Leonardo routes are user-operated requests to independent
third-party services. They are not a publisher-operated provider account,
proxy, marketplace, reseller, service bureau, shared-credential service, or
generation service for other users.

Before enabling a provider route, you must hold and control the applicable
provider account, API entitlement or credits, credential, and the rights and
permissions required for every submitted prompt, file, model, audio clip,
image, or other input. You independently approve each provider request and any
associated provider charge.

The publisher does not provide, pool, transfer, receive, share, or resell
provider credentials or provider access. Do not use another person's
credential, use your credential to submit another person's request, or use the
software to offer provider generation to third parties. Provider credentials
must be configured outside the plugin conversation in a local mechanism the
account holder controls.

Provider use remains governed by the provider's current account terms, API
rules, pricing, content rules, privacy policy, and output-rights rules. Tripo's
[API documentation](https://developers.tripo3d.ai/en/docs/quick-start) and
[terms](https://www.tripo3d.ai/terms), and Leonardo's
[API documentation](https://docs.leonardo.ai/v1.0/docs/getting-started) and
[terms](https://leonardo.ai/terms-of-service), are the applicable starting
points. Provider outputs are not promised to be exclusive, commercially
cleared, privately visible, or fit for a particular purpose.

Tripo and Leonardo are independent third-party services and trademarks. No
affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, certification, partnership, or official
integration is claimed.

## No production guarantee

Static inspection, test fixtures, generated heatmaps, and adapter telemetry are
diagnostic aids. They do not guarantee artistic quality, legal clearance,
target-engine compatibility, GPU correctness, performance, signing,
notarization, or acceptance by a store or reviewer.

## Warranty and liability

The MIT license's warranty disclaimer and limitation of liability apply. To the
maximum extent permitted by law, you use provider calls, generated content,
project commands, and vendored assets at your own risk.

## Changes

Material changes will be recorded in repository history with a new effective
date. A released plugin version remains reviewable from its tagged source.
