PLAIN ENGLISH – KEYMAILER TERMS OF USE – PUBLISHER SIDE

Keymailer offers these valuable free services:

We collect public data about new game releases in order to crowd-source interest in those games from Creators (including Press and Influencers), then share it with Promoters (including Developers, Publishers, PR and Marketing Agencies).

Keymailer asks Creators to tell us about themselves, and share private data from their Press, Video and gaming platforms so we can automatically generate up-to-date Channel Profiles for Promoters, so they can decide which Creators to work with.

For each Creator we verify email and channel ownership, contents of games library, playtime stats, and VR hardware ownership, we then compute influence scores, main coverage type, and gamer genre.  

For established and growing creators we also manually view and review a sample of their channel content to verify it conforms to our Acceptable Usage Policy and is well tagged and labelled. We call this process Accreditation. 

Promoters can offer their games in response to expressions of interest from creators using our encrypted distribution mechanism.

We track YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Facebook for new video and streams, and notify the relevant promoters about that new content. 

Keymailer can offer the free service by offering these Chargeable Feature Upgrades :

Promoters can access our Creator Database, to find Creators relevant to their Game, then issue them offers of games (“Outreach”).

Promoters can promote their game on the Discover page of the Creator section of Our Websites, in order to significantly increase the discoverability and expressions of interest in their Game (“Ads”).

Promoters can receive unlimited requests each month (“Subscriptions”).

These services are available per game via the Upgrade Page, and some are available via annual Enterprise Agreements.

We have written our Terms of Service to set out these ground rules we play by, and we ask our clients to play by:

In plain English the main parts of the terms of service are:

  • we try to keep the site available all the time, but sometimes it will be down
  • it’s a business service, so we don’t let consumers or children create game developer accounts
  • we comply with data and privacy laws
  • stuff you upload is yours, stuff we get from other people is theirs, and stuff we create is ours
  • you will only use the site for legal game marketing purposes
  • you won’t upload or send anything that will upset reasonable people
  • you wont spam users, or send unreasonable content
  • there are many free features, and there are some you have to pay for
  • we do our best to get things right, but if we don’t, you can’t sue us
  • you won’t use our site to assist services that have a similar or competing purpose

For clients who choose an Enterprise Agreement, they will receive a separate Agreement setting out the terms of that agreement.

This section has tried to explain Keymailer using plain English, but it is an incomplete simplification so the full binding legal text follows:

Auto-renewing Feature Upgrades can be cancelled at any time, however no refunds can be provided and you will continue to have access to the Feature Upgrades for the duration of the remainder of the Feature Upgrade period you are currently in.  Cancelling an auto-renewing Feature Upgrade only prevents it from being auto-renewed.

PLAIN ENGLISH – KEYMAILER TERMS OF USE – PUBLISHER SIDE

Keymailer offers these valuable free services:

We collect public data about new game releases in order to crowd-source interest in those games from Creators and Influencers, then share it with Game Developers (including Publishers, and PR and Marketing Agencies).

Keymailer asks the Creators to tell us about themselves, and share private data from their video and gaming platforms so we can automatically generate up-to-date Channel Profiles for Game Developers, so they can decide which Creators to work with.

For each Creator we verify email and channel ownership, contents of games library, playtime stats, and VR hardware ownership, we then compute influence scores, main coverage type, and gamer genre.  

For established and growing creators we also manually view and review a sample of their channel content to verify it conforms to our Acceptable Usage Policy and is well tagged and labelled. We call this process Accreditation.

Game Developers can offer their games in response to expressions of interest from creators using our encrypted distribution mechanism.

We track YouTube, Twitch and Mixer for new video and streams, and notify the relevant Game Developer about that new content.  

Keymailer can offer the free service by offering these Chargeable Feature Upgrades :

Game Developers can access our Creator Database, to find Creators relevant to their Game, then issue them offers of games.

Game Developers can promote their game on the front page of the Creator section of Our Website, in order to significantly increase the discoverability and expressions of interest in their Game.

Game Developers can access additional software features to automate some tasks, add customisations, receive reports and analytics, etc.

Some of these services are available per game via the Upgrade Page of the Keymailer site, and some are available via annual Enterprise Agreements.

We have written our Terms of Service to set out these ground rules we play by, and we ask our clients to play by:

In plain English the main parts of the terms of service are:

  • we try to keep the site available all the time, but sometimes it will be down
  • it’s a business service, so we don’t let consumers or children create game developer accounts
  • we comply with data and privacy laws
  • stuff you upload is yours, stuff we get from other people is theirs, and stuff we create is ours
  • you will only use the site for legal game marketing purposes
  • you won’t upload or send anything that will upset reasonable people
  • you wont send spam
  • there are many free features, and there are some you have to pay for
  • we do our best to get things right, but if we don’t, you can’t sue us
  • you wont use our site to help other services that have a similar purpose

For clients who Upgrade to Feature Upgrades, they will receive an additional schedule to the Terms of Service setting out the additional or new terms for that service.

For clients who choose an Enterprise Agreement, they will receive a separate Agreement setting out the terms of that agreement.  

This section has tried to explain Keymailer using plain English, but it is an incomplete simplification so the full binding legal text follows:
