WireSyndicate Master Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 25, 2026
System Architecture Baseline: v1.2.0 Release

Welcome to WireSyndicate. These Master Terms of Service ("Agreement") constitute a legally binding agreement between WireSyndicate ("WireSyndicate," "we," "us," or "our") and the corporate entity or authorized individual ("Customer," "Studio," "Brand," "Agency," or "User") accessing or utilizing the WireSyndicate platform, software development kits (SDKs), APIs, and digital asset marketplaces.

1. Platform Scope & Dual-Market Governance

1.1 Marketplace Role: WireSyndicate operates a two-sided digital asset exchange and real-time infrastructure network connecting interactive game studios ("Developers") and commercial brand sponsors ("Brands" or "Agencies").
1.2 Account Types: Users register as either a Developer Organization or Brand Organization. Brand accounts may toggle between "Express" self-serve workflow mode and "Pro Suite" advanced campaign configuration.
1.3 Authority & Verification: By provisioning an organization, the registering individual warrants that they possess full legal corporate authority to bind their entity to these terms and fulfill financial commitments.

2. Studio Live-Ops CMS & House Content License

2.1 Zero-Patch Infrastructure: WireSyndicate grants Developers an active, non-exclusive license to utilize the Studio Live-Ops CMS to remotely update textures, banners, and 3D objects in published game clients without client re-compilation or app store re-certification.
2.2 House Content Exemption: Game studios serving first-party announcements, community art, patch notes, or cross-promotional studio campaigns ("House Content") incur zero platform commissions and zero tracking fees.
2.3 Fallback Guarantee: Placements configured under monetized_with_fallback mode automatically display the studio's pre-configured house creative and attribution metadata whenever no funded commercial campaign is active.

3. Direct Sponsorship Contracts, Instant Book Smart Locks, & Split Settlement

3.1 Instant Book Sponsorship Packages: Placements offering Instant Book packages allow Brands to reserve designated in-game inventory at pre-approved fixed pricing with guaranteed flight dates.
3.2 Smart Lock Enforcement: Upon commitment and funding of an Instant Book contract, database triggers (enforce_placement_smart_locks) engage an immutable lock on the placement. Developers are strictly prohibited from mutating the placement's format, geometric bounds, or camera prominence during an active contract flight.
3.3 Atomic Split Integration Fee Settlement: For contracts requiring custom developer art integration (creative_fulfillment_type: "developer_integrated"):

  • The integration labor fee (integration_fee_cents) is segregated in synthetic escrow.
  • Upon Brand deliverable approval, public.settle_bid_integration_fee atomically credits net earnings (less platform commission) to the Developer's available balance.
  • Remaining contract funds represent the media flight budget ceiling and are consumed exclusively by verified impression delivery.
    3.4 Idempotency: Settlement calls are row-locked (FOR UPDATE) and strictly idempotent. Duplicate invocations are rejected without secondary financial mutation.

4. Spatial Delivery, Gaze Verification Index (GVI), & Best-Effort Targeting

4.1 Dynamic 3D Environmental Delivery: WireSyndicate serves media assets into real-time, interactive 3D virtual environments. Impression tokens are generated cryptographically at the Edge and verified via client camera frustum raycasts. Due to dynamic player camera movement, environmental occlusion, and gameplay physics, WireSyndicate makes no guarantee of 100% unobstructed visibility for any individual placement. Delivery is fulfilled on a verified-gaze telemetry basis.
4.2 PostGIS Geospatial Routing: Geospatial targeting operates via commercial IP-to-location databases and PostGIS polygon matching. WireSyndicate disclaims liability for impressions delivered outside target geographies when caused by client-side VPNs, proxies, or ISP routing anomalies.

5. Billing, Wallet Balances, & Stripe Connect Payouts

5.1 Payment Processing: All commercial transactions are processed securely through Stripe Checkout and Stripe Billing. Platform balances are maintained in integer cents.
5.2 Developer Payouts: Developers receive net earnings through automated Stripe Connect transfers subject to standard identity verification (KYC/AML) and minimum payout thresholds.
5.3 Integration Fee Non-Refundability: Once a custom creative deliverable has been formally approved and settled via settle_bid_integration_fee, studio integration labor fees are non-refundable. Remaining unspent media flight budgets are eligible for credit return upon campaign termination.

6. Acceptable Use, Security, & Emergency Freezes

6.1 Prohibited Content: Assets containing unlawful, defamatory, deceptive, sexually explicit, or malicious code are strictly prohibited.
6.2 Emergency Account Freezes: WireSyndicate reserves the right to immediately suspend access, terminate active campaigns, and lock wallet balances if fraudulent impression manipulation or platform abuse is detected.

7. Governing Law & Dispute Arbitration

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA).
