We reserve the right to change or modify any of these Service Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. Updated Service Terms will apply thirty (30) days after posting. Your continued use of any part of the Swrve Service following this thirty (30) day period will constitute your acceptance of such changes or modifications.

If you are using the Swrve Service on behalf of a company, you must have the authority to bind that company to these Service Terms.

The Swrve Service is made available by Swrve New Media (“Swrve”, “us” or “we”) to your company (“you”).

1. Access

The Swrve Service may be used by you for the purposes of game content and feature management and game analytics.

We hereby grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited-term license to (ii) make calls to the Swrve API and/or (i) install, use and embed the Swrve Integration Code (in executable form only) into your computer game, each for the purposes of using the functionality offered by the Swrve Service.

Access to the Swrve Service is limited to those of your employees and contractors who have been issued usernames and passwords by us. Your licensee administrator may also ask us (via email) to create logins for third party users. Administrator users can set access permissions for other users. You should ensure that details of your administrator users are kept up to date and that we are notified if your administrator users are changed or leave your company. You are responsible for any activity by users issued under your account.

Reports may be distributed within your organisation for the purpose of game and economy balancing, game tuning, personalization and segmentation analysis.

2. Service Updates
We will be updating the Swrve Service and adding new or different features and functionality on a regular basis. Provided you are current with fees, you will be granted access to the updated versions of features to which you have subscribed. Optional or new features and functions may be subject to additional fees. We may also adjust or delete certain features from time to time.

3. Fees
Whether fees are payable by you will depend on whether you have a “trial” license to use the Swrve Service or a full commercial license. Generally, no fees are payable for a trial license. For commercial clients, you and Swrve will have entered into written commercial terms (“Commercial Terms”) which outline the access fees payable and other commercial terms applicable. The Commercial Terms are in addition to these Service Terms and to the extent there is a conflict, the Commercial Terms will apply.

4. Data

We do not wish to receive or be given access to any user’s personally identifiable information and you should ensure that any data made available to us via your game or otherwise does not contain any personally identifiable information.

You are responsible for obtaining all the appropriate permissions from your users to allow us (and our third party service providers) collect, store and use the User Data as outlined in these Service Terms. You agree that you have and will abide by an appropriate privacy policy relating to the collection and use of information from your users.

As such, our third party hosting provider (currently Amazon Web Services) will have access to the same data, including User Data, as we do. Our hosting provider is only permitted to process this data for the purposes of providing hosting services to us. Neither Swrve nor its hosting provider will use or export User Data contrary to any applicable data protection regulations.

During the Term and after termination Swrve may maintain, use and publish anonymised User Data. We will not disclose User Data in such a way as to identify you, your game or your users without your (or your users’, as applicable) prior written permission.
