Last Updated: January 24, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using the website operated by True Game Metrics LLC (“TGM,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), located at https://truegamemetrics.com (the “Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Site.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (whether personally or on behalf of an entity) and TGM. By using the Site, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you are using the Site on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. User Accounts

When you create an account with us, you must provide information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

Failure to provide accurate information or maintain the security of your account constitutes a breach of these Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your account and access to our services.

You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these obligations.

3. User Contributions and Data Handling

The Site allows you to submit, post, and share content, including game reviews, benchmarks, ratings, development data, and other materials (collectively, “User Contributions”).

3.1 License to Use User Contributions

By submitting User Contributions, you grant TGM a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, analyze, aggregate, publicly display, and otherwise use your contributions solely for the purposes of providing, improving, and publicizing TGM’s analytical services and aggregated scoring systems.

You understand and agree that TGM may publish or otherwise disclose aggregated or derived insights (for example, statistical averages, benchmark charts, composite performance scores, or industry analytics) that do not identify you or your specific submissions in identifiable form. These derived works, including all compiled scores, visualizations, and analytics outputs, are the exclusive property of TGM.

Nothing in this Section 3 or elsewhere in these Terms shall be construed as granting you any rights in or to TGM’s scoring methodology, TGM Content, trademarks, or other intellectual property, except the limited right to access and use the Site in accordance with these Terms.

You retain ownership of the underlying content you submit, subject to the license granted herein.

3.2 Confidential Developer Data

TGM acknowledges that certain developer materials submitted through specialized tools (including but not limited to budget data, unreleased concept assets, project architecture details, or proprietary development information submitted via the “Dive Sheet” or similar features) may be proprietary or constitute trade secrets.

TGM will treat such materials as confidential and will not disclose them in identifiable form without your express written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TGM may use such data internally and in aggregated, anonymized, or statistical form to improve its scoring methodologies, benchmarks, and analytics services. During the Private Alpha phase and thereafter, TGM will not publish raw, identifiable developer data without explicit user authorization.

3.3 Accuracy and Responsibility

You represent and warrant that:

  • You own or have the necessary rights to submit your User Contributions.
  • Your submissions do not violate any third-party rights, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
  • Your submissions are accurate and not misleading.
  • Your submissions comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

You are solely responsible for your User Contributions and the consequences of posting or submitting them.

4. Prohibited Activities

You may not access or use the Site for any purpose other than that for which we make the Site available. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

  • Systematically retrieving data or other content from the Site to create or compile, directly or indirectly, a collection, compilation, database, or directory without our prior written permission.
  • Submitting false, misleading, or fraudulent information with malicious intent.
  • Engaging in any automated use of the system, including using scripts, bots, or other automated tools to send comments, messages, or data submissions.

  • Using the Site for any purpose that is illegal or prohibited by these Terms.
  • Engaging in any conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone’s use or enjoyment of the Site, or which, as determined by us, may harm TGM or users of the Site.

4.1 Simulated and Illustrative Data

The Site may include simulated or illustrative data, including case studies, sample analytics, hypothetical scenarios, and estimated scoring outputs (collectively, “Simulated Data”). Simulated Data is provided solely for demonstration, research, educational, or illustrative purposes and does not represent actual performance results, verified benchmarks, or professional advice.

You acknowledge and agree that any reliance on Simulated Data is entirely at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, TGM disclaims all liability for any damages, losses, costs, or expenses arising from your reliance on Simulated Data or any business, investment, product, marketing, or development decisions made based on such information.

Simulated Data should not be used as the sole basis for any commercial, financial, or development decisions.

5. Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights

All content, features, and functionality available on or through the Site—including but not limited to the TGM scoring methodology, proprietary algorithms, datasets, data visualizations, compiled scores (including the “TGM Score” and any derivative indexes or metrics), analytical tools, software, text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, video clips, page headers, button icons, scripts, the overall “look and feel” of the Site, and other materials (collectively, the “TGM Content”)—are and shall remain the exclusive property of TGM or its licensors.

The TGM Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws of the United States and international treaties. Except for the limited, personal, non‑exclusive, revocable, non‑transferable license expressly granted to you to access and use the Site in accordance with these Terms, no license or other rights in or to the TGM Content, TGM’s trademarks, or any proprietary components of the Site are granted to you by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, transmit, or otherwise exploit any part of the TM Content, in whole or in part, except as expressly permitted in these Terms or with our prior written consent.

Use of the Site does not grant you any ownership rights to our data, content or intellectual property, including any scores, metrics, or analytics generated by the Site.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO TGM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (US $100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

9. Equitable Relief

You acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach of these Terms relating to intellectual property rights, confidentiality, unauthorized access or use of the Site, or misuse of TGM’s proprietary scoring methodology or data may cause immediate and irreparable harm to TGM for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, in addition to any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, TGM shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief (without the necessity of posting bond or proving actual damages) in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or curtail any such breach or threatened breach.
