Legal
Terms of Use
The terms that apply to using this website while Gibly is pre-launch.
This is a draft, not a binding document.
It has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer. It describes how this website works today and what we intend, but it should not be relied on as final legal terms. 3 highlighted items are still to be confirmed.
These terms cover your use of the Gibly Studios website. They do not cover the Gibly platform, which has not launched. Separate terms for the platform, including commercial terms for creators, will be published before anyone is asked to agree to them.
About this website
This site explains what Gibly is and invites independent software creators to apply to the Founding Circle.
Gibly is pre-launch. Unless something on this site is marked "Open now", it describes a plan rather than an available product or service. Plans can change. Nothing on this site is an offer, a guarantee of future features, or a promise of earnings.
Examples labelled "illustrative" or "concept" are invented to explain an idea. They do not describe real products, creators, customers or results.
The Founding Circle
Applying to the Founding Circle is free. Submitting an application does not create a partnership, employment, agency or investment relationship between you and Gibly, and neither of us is obliged to proceed.
Applying does not transfer or license any rights in your product, code, brand or other intellectual property to Gibly.
To confirm before publication: any further terms that should apply to Founding Circle participation, such as confidentiality of what is discussed.
