Locke Werks

Terms of Service

Effective: April 6, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of software, websites, and services operated by Locke Werks ("we," "us," "our"), including but not limited to ARCHON, Attest, and Witness (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using any of our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use our Services. If you are under 18, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. By using our Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

2. Accounts

Some Services require you to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use our Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of our Services
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of our Services or related systems
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of our Services, except as permitted by law
  • Use automated systems (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access our Services without prior written consent
  • Manipulate leaderboards, scores, or competitive features through exploits or cheating
  • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation
  • Upload or transmit malicious code, malware, or harmful content
  • Use our Services to harass, abuse, or threaten others

4. Your Content

You retain ownership of content you create or upload through our Services ("Your Content"). By using our Services, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display Your Content solely as necessary to provide the Services to you. We do not claim ownership of Your Content.

You are solely responsible for Your Content and represent that you have the right to upload or create it. We may remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

5. Product-Specific Terms

ARCHON: Game content, mechanics, artwork, music, and code are the intellectual property of Locke Werks. Your game progress and account data are associated with your account and are not transferable. Leaderboard rankings reflect performance and may be adjusted or reset to maintain competitive integrity.

Attest: Attestation manifests you create are cryptographically signed records. Once sealed, manifests are immutable. You are responsible for the accuracy of information you include in your attestations. Locke Werks does not verify the truthfulness of creative claims — we provide the cryptographic infrastructure for provenance, not editorial judgment. Published attestations are publicly verifiable by design.

Witness: Evidence records you create are intended for integrity and chain-of-custody purposes. Locke Werks does not guarantee the legal admissibility of evidence captured through Witness — admissibility is determined by applicable courts and jurisdictions. You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws when capturing and sharing photographic evidence.

6. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in our Services — including software, designs, trademarks, logos, documentation, and content created by us — are owned by Locke Werks or our licensors. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our intellectual property except the limited right to use the Services as intended.

7. Payment and Subscriptions

Some Services or features may require payment. Prices are displayed before purchase. Payments are processed by third-party providers (e.g., Stripe, Apple App Store, Google Play). Refund policies are governed by the applicable payment platform unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to change pricing with reasonable notice.

8. Availability and Modifications

We strive to keep our Services available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any Service at any time, with reasonable notice when possible. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of our Services.

9. Disclaimers

Our Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that our Services will be error-free, secure, or uninterrupted.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Locke Werks shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of our Services, regardless of the theory of liability. Our total liability for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Locke Werks, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your use of our Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

12. Termination

You may stop using our Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to our Services at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms, with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive (including Sections 6, 9, 10, 11, and 13).

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in El Paso County, Colorado. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on our website and updating the effective date. Continued use of our Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
