Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Mortar North Studio (accessible via canada-mortar.com, referred to herein as "the Platform", "we", "us", or "our"). By accessing, browsing, or utilizing the directory, benchmark evaluations, or outbound index links provided on this website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service in full.

If you do not agree with any portion of these Terms, you must discontinue your use of the Platform immediately. These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Mortar North Studio, situated in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

2. Nature of the Service & Free-to-Play Directory

Mortar North Studio operates exclusively as an independent digital directory, technical evaluation laboratory, and search index for standard Free-to-Play (F2P) browser and WebGL interactive software. The Platform provides performance benchmarks, editorial evaluations, and outbound hyperlinks to verified third-party gaming portals and developers.

Every title indexed on canada-mortar.com runs strictly as an open-access Free-to-Play (F2P) browser release for recreational and software-evaluation purposes. Zero dispatch fees, zero mandatory enrollment gates, and zero corporate access locks apply anywhere on this portal.

3. Intellectual Property Rights & Third-Party Content

All proprietary content created by Mortar North Studio—including but not limited to technical benchmark data, written reviews, editorial scoring algorithms, custom website styling, layout architecture, and graphical emblems—remains the exclusive property of Mortar North Studio and is protected under Canadian and international copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws.

All third-party game titles, character names, trademarks, screenshots, and brand logos featured in our directory are the property of their respective creators and copyright holders. Their display on Mortar North Studio constitutes nominative fair use for identification, cataloging, and critical commentary.

4. Outbound External Links

The Platform provides direct hyperlinks enabling users to access external third-party web games and developer studios. Mortar North Studio does not host, control, or operate these third-party web servers. We are not liable for the content, privacy policies, data collection practices, or terms of any third-party websites.

When you click outbound links from our directory, you navigate to third-party domains operating under their own distinct legal frameworks and service terms.

• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation when contacting our editorial bureau.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

Mortar North Studio provides its directory, benchmarks, and information on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, immune from latency, or compatible with every hardware configuration.

While our team makes every reasonable effort to verify that indexed browser titles are safe, functional, and active, we make no guarantees regarding third-party server uptime or persistent game state availability.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Canadian law, neither Mortar North Studio nor its directors, employees, affiliates, or contributors shall be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, this directory or any third-party games linked herein.
