Loquiz Games Market Terms of Use

Effective: June 1, 2020

Loquiz Games Market is a place for game concepts that Loquiz users can modify and use in their events.

FOR THE EVENT PROFESSIONAL

Games Market is a place to get ideas for your events and find proven game concepts to implement. In order to utilize game concepts, the Loquiz subscription is needed.

Games Market includes FREE concepts (mainly developed by Loquiz) and COMMERCIAL concepts (mainly developed by independent game developers).

All Loquiz subscription types will allow the user to run and do basic modifications to any Game Template. To change advanced rules in some of the templates Creator PRO subscription might be needed.

Game concepts in Games Market are in English. It is up to the user to translate the content if needed.

FREE GAME CONCEPTS

To use a free game concept, choose the template, click “Create game”, do the changes if necessary, and save the game. You are now ready to play.

COMMERCIAL GAME CONCEPTS

Commercial game concepts can be obtained for a one-time fee. The exact conditions will vary. To use a commercial game concept contact the game developer directly. Do that by clicking “Contact seller” on the respective template. You will obtain in-depth information from the game creator directly about the game.

Once purchased the user will get full access to the game concept. When purchasing a game concept it will become available for you to create your games on it and also modify it to suit your needs. You are allowed to create a local Template from the Commercial Template. You are also allowed to make copies of the content onto your account from the Purchased concept.

The developer might be updating the concept, creating a local template will ensure you will not get any unexpected changes. However, the changes might be beneficial so keep your eyes open for Template updates.

FOR THE GAME DEVELOPER

By putting the game to the Games Market you agree to:

1. Display the game concept summary to all Loquiz users.

2. Set the transparent price for the full concept sale and show it with the game concept.

3. Allow the purchaser to modify the concept, including translating and modifying content and rules.

4. Update the game concept in case issues are found.

5. Directly support the purchaser with concept related questions.

6. Notify Games Concept Manager if there are designed updates for your game in both cases: updating the game template directly or selling updates under additional services.

7. Confirm the consent of the current Loquiz Games Market Terms of Use document to Loquiz.

THE GAME CONCEPT INCLUDES

a) the game content (tasks etc.), design (icons, etc.) and mechanics (rules of the game);

b) info on how to run the game (briefing, team setup, recommendations for running);

c) target group info-what target group is the game intended to (corporate, children, interests, etc.);

d) marketing and sales materials if any;

e) any additional information that helps to implement, market, sell, and run the game concept successfully.

GETTING YOUR GAME ON THE GAMES MARKET

Loquiz keeps the right to determine what games are presented in the Games Market. The decision to list a game to a market is made by the Loquiz team, led by Games Concept Manager. The game is listed in the Games Market for one year. The time can be extended for another year if both parties agree. If the game concept is removed from the Games Market then the purchasers will still have access to the concept through local templates.

BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR THE GAMES IN GAMES MARKET

1. You hold the rights for the game content, design, and mechanics.

2. Before the game is submitted to the Games Market the game is in active use and proved by yourself as a successful business case. You have created your local template and are using it to run games.

3. Game is tested by somebody outside of your own company – fellow company, Loquiz team, etc.

4. Game is unique so it is clearly differentiated within the Games Market.

CONCEPT PRICING

1. Pricing should take into account that the full game concept with accompanying knowledge is transferred to the purchaser at the time of purchase.

2. Pricing needs to take into account possible support and updates.

3. Pricing includes the usage rights of all the materials (like artwork, sales, and marketing materials).

4. You set the price for your game concept. The price is public.

The seller has the right to sell additional services to the purchaser directly (like additional implementation services etc.) that is not included in basic pricing.

WHAT THE GAMES MARKET IS NOT FOR

1. Games Market is not a tool to market games that the purchaser can not run independently.

2. Business models based on a revenue share or player credit selling are not supported at the moment.

3. Games Market is not for testing ideas.

4. Games Market is not for individual players to purchase ready-made games and play them.

HOW ARE THE GAMES REMOVED

The agreement to list a game in the Games Market is made for a 1-year period. After that, it is possible to prolong the presence if both parties agree on that.

If the concept provider wants to remove the Game Concept from the Games Market he can do so at the end of the yearly agreement period. In such case companies who have bought the game concept will be informed and advised to make local copies in order to continue using the Concept.

If there are technical problems with the concept or concept becomes incompatible with the Loquiz platform the Concept provider has the right and obligation to make the changes to Game Concept in order to make the Concept usable again.
