Welcome to Obernaft—the vibrant pulse beneath gaming’s unfolding frontier. Founded by Tyvian Velthorne, our mission is to illuminate the shifting tectonics of the gaming universe—from fresh gameplay paradigms and multiplayer mechanisms to the electric heartbeat of esports and the controller nuances powering your next win streak. As you explore the playground of professional insight we’ve curated here, it’s important we set the expectations clearly. These Terms and Conditions form the framework for a fair and thoughtful experience—think of it as a level guide to help us all thrive together.
Setting the Stage
Obernaft is not merely a website—it’s a digital confidante for players, developers, analysts, dreamers, and critical thinkers. We are housed at 2300 Diane Street, Los Angeles, California 90017, with open operations from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. This document governs your interaction with our content, resources, and overall community. By using our services, you signal your alignment with these conditions—an agreement meant to nurture a rich, ethical, and inspired user experience.
1. Who We Welcome
Whether you’re a tournament tactician or testing the waters of game theory, everyone is invited to read, learn, and exchange. However, to interact with certain features or submit content, users must be at least 13 years old—or meet the age requirements of their local jurisdictions with appropriate consent. This community thrives on blend and balance: curiosity from novices, scrutiny from veterans, and respect from all corners.
2. Intellectual Property and Content Ownership
Everything you see on Obernaft—the deep dives into competitive pacing, controller customization strategies, updates on engine evolutions—is intellectual property either owned by us or shared under appropriate rights. You may view it, quote it with attribution, or reference it for academic or analytical purposes—but reproducing, redistributing, or modifying content without express permission is off-limits.
When you send us your own content—whether it’s commentary, questions, or pitches—we receive a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, edit, or feature it across Obernaft content channels. Your voice matters. But make sure it’s yours to share, free from copyright entanglements or third-party claims.
3. A Space for Play, Not Harm
Gaming culture thrives on intensity, but Obernaft draws the line on toxicity. Harassment, hate speech, spam, and disruptive behavior in any form will not be tolerated. Commentary should challenge ideas, not belittle people. We reserve the right to block content or restrict users whose behavior is antithetical to our values or compromises community well-being.
4. Disclaimers and Scope of Advice
We publish thoughtful insights—from breakdowns of sandbox mechanics to critiques of post-patch roster shifts. But this is not individualized professional, legal, or investment advice. The strategies we discuss, the game developments we interpret, and the tools we recommend are for educational and entertainment purposes only. You should always supplement your decisions with additional research or with guidance tailored to your unique situation.
5. Our Evolving Platform
Like the games we study, Obernaft iterates over time. Features are added, pages are retooled, and updates to these Terms and Conditions may occur without prior notice. When that happens, we’ll update the “last modified” date below. Continued use after changes becomes acceptance of the revised agreement, so we encourage you to review this page now and then—much like one checks a patch log after a major update.
6. Limited Liability
In the unlikely event something goes sideways—be it technical, editorial, or third-party related—Obernaft’s liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. We’re not liable for unintended consequences of your application of our content, nor for the reliability of third-party links or integrated services.
7. External Links and Third-Party Content
We may include references or access points to external platforms—to amplify key developments or to provide you with broader industry context. However, we don’t control their content, practices, or privacy policies. Visiting external sites is done at your discretion and is governed by their respective terms. Always proceed with an informed mind and a discerning eye.
8. Termination for Misuse
Obernaft reserves the right to suspend or terminate access at any time if users violate these Terms and Conditions or act in ways that compromise the safety, legality, or integrity of our community and infrastructure. Bans can be temporary or permanent and do not require prior warning in cases of serious breach. Respect our work, respect other users, and everyone wins.
9. Your Privacy, Our Responsibility
Your trust is not a plugin—it’s foundational. While this document outlines our legal terms, it operates in parallel with a separate policy dedicated to safeguarding your personal data. We strongly encourage all users to review our Privacy Policy to better understand how your information is collected, stored, and ethically handled.
10. Governing Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States of America. Should any dispute arise, the courts based in Los Angeles County shall have full jurisdiction. Our intention, of course, is to resolve any concern long before that stage—gaming should be thrilling, not litigious.
11. Contacting Us
