Hi, welcome to GDS Editor, formerly GDS Plus and GDS Tools. I aim to provide the best functionality, support, and service to everyone who uses my tools, but there are a few things you need to know before you continue. Please read these terms carefully before using the GDS Editor or any of the tools and services provided on this site.

Definitions

GDS Editor - GDS Plus: GDS Plus is now called GDS Editor. Any reference to GDS Plus is interchangeable with GDS Editor.

GDS Tools: GDS Tools refers to any tool or digital service owned and provided by GameDeveloperStudio.com or any of its subdomains.

Us: GameDeveloperStudio.com, its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates.

This document primarily targets the terms and conditions for the use of GDS digital tools offered on this website. This document does not discuss website terms, which can be found on the terms and conditions page of this site.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using GDS Editor and GDS Tools, you agree to be bound by these Terms and you accept that you have acknowledged, understood, and agreed to them. If you disagree with any of the following conditions, then you may not access or use GDS Editor or make use of any GDS Tools. For clarity, the initials GDS refer to GameDeveloperStudio. GDS Editor and GDS Tools refer to both online and offline tools created and owned by GameDeveloperStudio.com.

Support to You

Whilst I do aim to provide the best level of service, functionality, and support for all services and tools across GameDeveloperStudio.com, including GDS Editor, you acknowledge, understand, and agree that there is no guarantee of support in the event of failure, data loss, or non-availability. You are solely responsible for managing and troubleshooting any issues that may arise while using the GDS Editor and onsite tools.

You also acknowledge and understand that GDS Editor is offered "as is," and at most times the live version is almost always a "bleeding edge" release, meaning it's mostly experimental and may not yet be fully stable, making it prone to issues with any feature of its functionality.
