1. Who we are

retconic.com (the “Site”) is operated by Retconic, a sole trader based at 39 Elm Grove Road, Farnborough, Hampshire, GU14 7RD, United Kingdom. References to “we,” “us,” or “our” mean Retconic.

2. Acceptance

By using the Site you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it. If you use the Site on behalf of a company or team, you confirm you’re authorised to bind that organisation to these terms.

3. What the Site is

retconic.com is a marketing site for Retconic’s frameworks, worksheets, and writing for indie game studios. The Site lets you read editorial content, sign up to a newsletter, and (in due course) buy or download products.

4. Newsletter

Subscribing to the newsletter means you consent to receive emails from us. You can unsubscribe with one click in any email, or by emailing brandon@retconic.com. See our Privacy notice for how we handle your email address.

5. Products and third-party marketplaces

Retconic products may be sold through third-party marketplaces (TBC at launch — for example, Gumroad, Payhip, or Whop). When you buy a product, your purchase contract is with that marketplace, governed by their terms and refund policy. We’ll list the active marketplace on each product page when products are live.

The free bundle is provided directly by us, free of charge, with no warranty of any kind beyond what the law requires.

6. Intellectual property

All content on the Site — including written essays, frameworks, worksheets, brand assets, and code — is owned by Retconic or licensed to us, unless otherwise stated. You may quote short extracts of editorial content with attribution and a link back. You may not republish whole pages or use our brand assets without written permission.

Brand assets are provided for press, partner, and editorial use as-is. Don’t modify the wordmark or icon. Don’t imply endorsement.

7. Acceptable use

Don’t use the Site to:

  • Break the law or harm others.
  • Probe, scan, or attempt to gain unauthorised access.
  • Scrape content for training AI models or republishing.
  • Send malicious traffic, spam, or automated requests at a rate that disrupts the Site.

8. Liability

The Site is provided “as is.” We do our best to keep it accurate and online, but we make no warranties beyond what the law requires. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from your use of the Site.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be limited under English law.

9. Third-party links

The Site may link to third-party sites. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content or practices.

10. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be flagged on the Site. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept them.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

12. Contact

For any question about these terms, email brandon@retconic.com.
