GORGE

Legal

Terms of Service

Effective 16 August 2026. Last updated 16 August 2026.

In plain terms: play fair, do not cheat or attack the service, and understand that things you buy in the game are a licence to use them inside the game rather than property you own. We provide GORGE as it is, we can change or end it, and our liability is limited. None of that summary replaces what is written below — but nothing below should surprise you after reading it.

1. Agreement

These Terms are a binding agreement between you and Beacon Light Investments ("we", "us") covering the website at gorgegame.app, the in-browser build, and the GORGE game application (together, "GORGE"). By using any of them, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use GORGE.

Our Privacy Policy is part of this agreement.

2. Who may use GORGE

  • You must be at least 13 years old.
  • If you are under 18 (or under the age of majority where you live), you may use GORGE only with the consent of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use of it.
  • You must not be barred from using GORGE under the laws of your country or under US sanctions or export rules.

3. Your licence to play

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use GORGE for your own non-commercial entertainment. That licence is the entire extent of what you get — GORGE is licensed to you, not sold.

We and our licensors keep all rights in GORGE: the code, the simulation, the artwork, audio, name, and branding. Nothing here transfers any of that to you.

What you may do

  • Record, stream, and publish videos of your own play, including monetised videos on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. You do not need to ask, and you keep the revenue. Please credit the game and do not imply we made or endorsed your video.

What you may not do

  • Cheat. No modified clients, automation, bots, macros, memory editing, packet manipulation, exploiting bugs for advantage, or anything else that gives you an outcome the rules do not.
  • Attack the service. No attempts to disrupt, overload, gain unauthorised access to, or probe our servers or other players' connections.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the software, except to the narrow extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction.
  • Copy or redistribute GORGE, its assets, or its builds; or create derivative works, clones, or competing services from them.
  • Abuse other players — harassment, hate speech, threats, impersonation, sexual content involving minors, or any illegal conduct. Display names are subject to the same standard.
  • Buy, sell, or trade accounts or in-game items for real money outside the game.
  • Use GORGE to break the law, or to help anyone else do so.

4. Accounts

Some features require an account. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for what happens under your account. Tell us promptly at kyled@beaconlightinvestments.com if you believe it has been compromised.

Give accurate information when you register, and keep it current. You may delete your account at any time — see Delete My Data.

5. Purchases and virtual items

GORGE may offer optional purchases. Read this section before making one.

  • Virtual items are a licence, not property. Currency, cosmetics, unlocks and similar items are a limited right to use them inside GORGE. They have no monetary value, are not your property, cannot be redeemed for real money, and cannot be transferred or inherited.
  • Payment goes through the store, not through us. Purchases on mobile are processed by Apple or Google under their terms. We do not receive your payment details.
  • Refunds are handled by the platform. Request refunds from Apple or Google directly; they set and apply their own policies. Nothing here limits any statutory right to a refund or cancellation that you have where you live, including EU and UK consumer withdrawal rights.
  • Prices and contents can change. We may change what is offered and what it costs. Changes do not apply retroactively to something you have already bought.
  • If GORGE ends, virtual items end with it. If we discontinue the service, or your account is terminated for breaking these Terms, unspent items and currency are lost without compensation, except where the law requires otherwise.

6. Fair play and enforcement

Where we reasonably believe you have broken section 3 or 5, we may warn you, remove content, roll back ill-gotten progress, restrict features, suspend your account, or terminate it. We aim to make the response proportionate to what happened, and we act immediately without warning where a delay would harm other players or the service.

If you believe an enforcement action was wrong, email us. We will look at it again.

7. The service can change

GORGE is a live, evolving game. We may add, change, balance, or remove features, characters, countries, modes and content, and we may suspend or discontinue GORGE entirely. Where we discontinue it, we will give reasonable advance notice where it is practical to do so.

Game balance changes are not a defect and are not grounds for a refund.

8. Your content

Anything you submit — a display name, a support message, feedback — stays yours. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to use it as needed to operate and improve GORGE. If you send us a suggestion, we may act on it without owing you anything for it; please do not send us ideas you expect to be paid for.

You are responsible for what you submit, and it must not break section 3.

9. Disclaimers

GORGE is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that GORGE will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of data loss, or that any defect will be fixed.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, in which case they do not apply to you and you keep whatever rights your local law gives you.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or virtual items, arising out of your use of GORGE.

Our total liability for any claim relating to GORGE is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or (b) fifty US dollars.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of GORGE. This does not apply to the extent the claim arises from something we did wrong.

12. Termination

You may stop using GORGE and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access under section 6, or if we discontinue the service. Sections 3 (ownership), 5 (virtual items), 9, 10, 11 and 13 survive termination.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Florida for any dispute, except that either of us may seek injunctive relief in any court with jurisdiction to protect intellectual property.

If you are a consumer in the EU, the UK, or another place whose law gives you the right to bring proceedings in your own country and under your own consumer law, nothing here takes that right away.

Before filing anything, please email us. Most disputes are a misunderstanding and are resolved faster in an inbox than in a courtroom.

14. Apple App Store

Where you obtain GORGE from Apple's App Store, the following applies and prevails over anything inconsistent above:

  • These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for GORGE and its content.
  • Your licence to use GORGE is limited to use on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for GORGE. Support requests go to us, at kyled@beaconlightinvestments.com.
  • If GORGE fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to GORGE.
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim relating to GORGE, including product liability claims, any claim that GORGE fails to conform to a legal requirement, and claims under consumer protection or similar legislation.
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and defending any third-party claim that GORGE infringes that party's intellectual property rights.
  • You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce them against you.

15. General

  • Changes. We may update these Terms. For material changes we will give notice in the app or on this site before they take effect, and the effective date above will change. Continuing to use GORGE after that means you accept the new Terms.
  • Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stands.
  • No waiver. Not enforcing something once does not waive it.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may, as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of the game.
  • Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement about GORGE between you and us.
