SQL Protocol // Legal Framework
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the SQL Protocol website, game, and services (collectively, the "Service"), owned and operated by Itai Zeilig ("Owner", "we", "us", or "our").
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.
Users under the age of 18 must obtain parental or guardian consent before using the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 18 years old or have obtained such consent.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of any modified Terms.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes only.
The Service includes educational SQL training through various game modes: Story Mode (narrative-driven missions), Interview Mode (technical interview preparation), and PVP Mode (competitive multiplayer battles).
You agree NOT to:
Account Creation: You can access the Service by signing in with Google OAuth or by choosing “Continue as Guest”. Guest sessions use device authentication: a random identifier is generated in your browser and used to create a throwaway server account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account and for all activities that occur under your account or guest session.
Free of Charge: The Service is provided free of charge. There are no premium tiers, no in-app purchases, and no advertising. We may add optional paid features in the future, in which case these Terms will be updated before any charge applies to you.
Guest to Linked Account: You can upgrade a guest session to a Google-linked account at any time from inside the game. Doing so preserves your gameplay progress and surfaces your account on public leaderboards. Once linked, the guest naming convention no longer applies.
Account Termination: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. We are not responsible for any delays, delivery failures, or other damage resulting from limitations beyond our reasonable control.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to us (if any) in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Owner and its affiliates, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Service.
