Introduction
As described below, depending on whether you are a Subscriber, Subscriber Player, or Visitor to our Service (each, a “User”), different provisions of these Terms of Use apply. Please review these terms to determine whether you are a Subscriber, Subscriber Player, or Visitor:
Subscriber: The Service allows individuals and legal entities, each referred to as a “Subscriber,” to rapidly customize a library of fun, casual games with Subscriber’s content pursuant to an agreement between TGA and the Subscriber. A Subscriber includes its authorized agents who are granted certain administrative rights (e.g., to customize game and other content, access results data, invite and authorize Subscriber Players to play the games).
Publisher: Where a Subscriber acting as a “Publisher” uses the Service to create customized corporate training or marketing communication for its client (“Publisher Client”) pursuant to a written agreement between Publisher and Publisher Client, all references to “Subscriber” in these Terms of Use shall be deemed to include both “Publisher” and “Publisher Client” and Publisher and Publisher Client shall be jointly and severally responsible for compliance with these Terms of Use; additionally, TGA is a third-party beneficiary of any agreement between a Publisher and Publisher Client with respect to the enforcement of TGA’s rights in the Service.
Subscriber Player: A Subscriber may permit use of the Service by its “Subscriber Players” in order to reinforce educational material and for marketing purposes (subject to the terms of the agreement between TGA and the Subscriber). For example, a company (as a Subscriber) may use the Service (i) to create customized corporate training for its employees (Subscriber Player), (ii) at tradeshows for its own marketing purposes to engage and collect contact information of visitors (also, Subscriber Players), or (iii) on Subscriber’s website to educate visitors (also, Subscriber Players) about its products, services, or mission.
Visitor: A Visitor is anyone who visits our website or otherwise uses our Service (e.g., to play a game or sign up for information about our services) who is not a Subscriber or Subscriber Player
