Terms of Service

Last updated: June 23, 2026 Effective: June 23, 2026

These are the terms you agree to when you use Save Override. We’ve tried to write them in plain English so you can actually read them. They’re still a contract, so they’re more careful and more structured than our blog posts, but there’s no legalese for its own sake.

If you only read this paragraph, here’s the gist:

• You pay us, we keep your save snapshots safe and let you restore them.
• Your saves belong to you. We don’t sell them, we don’t analyze them, we don’t claim ownership.
• Subscriptions auto-renew. Cancel any time and we’ll refund the unused portion.
• If your subscription lapses, you stay on the free tier — you don’t lose your data unless you go over the free limits.
• We don’t tell you how to play your games. The only thing we ask is that you don’t abuse the cloud service with bots or scrapers.
• If something goes wrong between us, we’ll try to work it out before anyone calls a lawyer.

The rest of this document is the full version.

1. Who we are

Save Override is operated by Voreni Inc., operating as Player Override (“we”, “us”, “our”), registered in Ontario, Canada. You can reach us at contact@save-override.com.

In this document, “you” means the person using Save Override. “The product”, “Save Override”, and “the service” mean the desktop client (the so CLI, so-service background process, and so-gui interface) together with the cloud service the client talks to.

2. What you’re agreeing to

By creating an account, installing the software, or using the cloud service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy.

If you don’t agree, don’t use Save Override. It’s that simple.

3. Who can use Save Override

You need to be at least 13 years old to use Save Override. If you’re under 18, please check with whoever pays for your gaming setup before signing up for a paid plan.

If you create an account, you need to:

• Provide an accurate email address you actually have access to.
• Choose a password you don’t use anywhere else.
• Be a real human. One human per account; no shared logins.
• Keep your credentials reasonably secure.

You’re responsible for everything that happens under your account.

4. The software

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and run the Save Override client software on devices you control, for as long as these Terms remain in effect.

You can:

• Install it on as many of your own devices as you like.
• Receive and install the updates we publish.
• Use it for personal gaming, including streaming, recording, or any other lawful personal activity.

You can’t:

• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the software as if it were yours.
• Remove or modify our branding or copyright notices in the binaries.
• Use the service in ways the Acceptable Use Policy prohibits.

The software runs locally on your machine. We don’t reach into it remotely except via normal update mechanisms.

5. The cloud service

The cloud service stores your save snapshots and their metadata so you can browse and restore them later. We use commercial S3-compatible object storage. Snapshots travel over an encrypted connection.

We don’t read the contents of your saves and we don’t try to. Snapshots are stored as the binary archives your client uploads — we treat them as opaque blobs.

6. Your saves are yours

We don’t claim ownership of your save data. You own what’s in your saves. We’re storing them for you.

By uploading saves, you give us permission to do the technical things we need to do to provide the service: store them, replicate them for durability, serve them back to you on download, and delete them when you tell us to or when the lifecycle rules in Section 9 apply.

You’re responsible for whether you have the right to upload and share what’s in your saves. Most of the time this is trivial — they’re saves from games you bought, of progress you made. But if you upload something you don’t have the right to, that’s on you.

7. Paying for it

Save Override has a free tier and paid tiers. Current pricing lives at save-override.com/download. The price you see at signup is the price you pay until we give you notice of a change (see Section 12).

Subscriptions are billed through a third-party payment processor. Taxes, where applicable, are added at checkout based on your billing address. You’re responsible for keeping your payment method valid.

8. Auto-renewal and refunds

Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing cycle (monthly or annual) at the then-current price for your plan, until you cancel.

You can cancel any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect immediately, and we’ll refund the unused portion of your current billing cycle, pro-rated to the day. Your account drops to the free tier at the same moment.

If a charge looks wrong, email billing@save-override.com and we’ll sort it out.

9. When subscriptions lapse, and when accounts close

If your subscription lapses — you cancel, or a payment fails after our standard retry attempts — your account immediately downgrades to the free tier. We don’t delete anything right away. Any snapshots beyond the free-tier limits become unreachable and are deleted within 30 days. You can re-subscribe inside that window and recover access to everything.

If you close your account, we initiate hard deletion of your snapshots and account data within 7 days. After that, the data is removed on the timeline of our normal storage garbage collection — typically within a further 30 days for the underlying object-storage blobs.

A few important things about deletion:

• Deletion removes data from your account. If you shared a save with someone else, their copy stays in their account, and we have no way to recall it. Don’t share saves you might later wish you hadn’t.
• Deletion is a process, not an instant. We aim for the timelines above as normal-case commitments, not as an SLA.

10. Acceptable use

You agree to follow our Acceptable Use Policy. The short version: we don’t moralize about how you play your games, but we do need you to not abuse the cloud service with automation, scraping, or anything that isn’t a real person backing up their saves.

If we believe you’re violating the AUP, we’ll work through the enforcement ladder described in the AUP — warning, rate limit, suspension, and only then termination. You can appeal at any step by emailing appeals@save-override.com.

11. Suspension and termination

You can stop using Save Override at any time. Close your account from settings; the data lifecycle in Section 9 applies.

We can suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms or the AUP, following the enforcement ladder in the AUP. We can also suspend the service entirely if a legal, security, or operational emergency requires it, though we’ll restore service as soon as it’s prudent.

If we terminate your account for cause, we’ll refund any unused portion of your current billing cycle, unless the termination was for fraud or for use we believe was illegal.

12. Price changes

We can change prices for any plan with at least 60 days notice. We’ll notify you by email and via an in-app banner. If you don’t want to pay the new price, you can cancel before it takes effect and you won’t be charged the new rate.

If you’re on early-access founder pricing ($2.99/mo or $24.99/yr): we intend to honor that price for as long as your subscription remains continuously active, as committed in our launch communications. This is a sincere business commitment. It sits alongside the 60-day right above rather than overriding it as a binding legal clause. If circumstances ever force us to walk back the founder commitment, we’ll explain why before doing so and give you the full 60-day notice.

13. Changes to features and the service

We’re still building Save Override. We will add features, change features, and occasionally remove features. For material changes that meaningfully reduce what you can do on a paid plan, we’ll give you at least 30 days notice via email and an in-app banner, and you’ll be able to cancel with a pro-rata refund if you’d prefer.

Cosmetic changes, performance improvements, bug fixes, new optional features, and changes to the free tier don’t require advance notice.

14. Changes to these Terms

We’ll update these Terms from time to time. When we make a material change, we’ll notify you by email and via an in-app banner at least 30 days before the new version takes effect. Continuing to use Save Override after the effective date means you accept the new version. If you don’t accept, you can close your account before the new version kicks in and Section 9 applies.

The current version always lives at save-override.com/legal/terms, with the last-updated date at the top.

15. Early access

Save Override is currently in early access. The service is provided AS IS, without uptime commitments or an SLA, while we stabilize it. We work to keep it up and reliable, but during early access in particular, you should treat your local game saves as the primary source and Save Override as a safety net.

This doesn’t reduce our other obligations under these Terms — we still owe you the refunds, the data handling, and everything else. It just means we’re not committing to a numeric uptime percentage yet.

16. Service availability

Outside of early access, we still don’t offer a numeric SLA. We commit to best-effort availability, scheduled maintenance windows announced in advance where practical, and reasonable response to outages.

We’re not liable for downtime caused by your network, your operating system, third-party providers, or events outside our reasonable control — natural disasters, war, cloud-provider outages, and the rest of the force-majeure list.

17. Things we can’t promise

Some of these are unavoidable consequences of how games work. We’re listing them so you go in with eyes open:

• Save compatibility across game versions. A save taken on version 1.5 may not load on version 2.0. That’s the game’s call, not ours.
• Mod compatibility. Restoring a save built with one set of mods into an install with a different set of mods may corrupt or break the save. Again, the game’s call.
• Game-internal state. Some games maintain internal indexes or per-machine identifiers we can’t see. Restoring may produce surprising behavior in those games.
• Cloud storage of opaque data. We store what you upload; we don’t validate it for you. If your save was already corrupted at upload, the snapshot is too.
• Sensitive data. Save Override isn’t designed for storing private or sensitive data. Don’t put things in your saves that you wouldn’t be comfortable with us holding.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the product and service are provided AS IS and AS AVAILABLE, without warranties of any kind, express or implied — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

18. Your responsibility

You agree to defend and indemnify us against any third-party claim arising from:

• Your violation of these Terms or the AUP.
• Your unauthorized use of someone else’s account or data.
• Content you upload that you didn’t have the right to upload.

This isn’t a power grab — it’s the standard “you broke the rules, you handle the fallout” clause. We won’t invoke it for ordinary disputes.

19. Our liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for anything arising out of or related to Save Override is capped at the total fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim. For free-tier users, that cap is zero — but see the carve-outs below.

We do not cap our liability for:

• Gross negligence or willful misconduct on our part.
• Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
• Anything the law in your jurisdiction says we can’t disclaim or cap — consumer-protection rights in particular.

We’re also not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages — including lost saves, lost progress, lost data, lost profits, or lost time — except in the carve-out cases above.

We know “lost saves” sounds like exactly the thing the product is for. The honest version: we work very hard not to lose your saves, and we’ll be straight with you if something ever goes wrong. But we can’t take on unlimited financial exposure for every player’s gaming history and stay a small independent product. The cap exists to keep that math sustainable.

20. If we disagree

If something between us goes wrong, we’d rather talk it out than escalate. Email legal@save-override.com first and give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally. Most disputes never need to go further.

If informal resolution doesn’t work, disputes are decided by the courts of the Province of Ontario, Canada, under the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there (excluding conflict-of-laws rules). This applies to the maximum extent enforceable where you live; if mandatory local consumer-protection law gives you the right to sue locally, that right still applies.

We don’t require arbitration, and we don’t ask you to waive the right to participate in collective proceedings. We’d rather not need them at all.

21. Copyright takedowns

If you believe a save snapshot stored on our service infringes your copyright, send a notice to copyright@save-override.com with:

• A description of the work you believe is infringed.
• The location of the allegedly infringing content (account holder if known, or our internal identifier — we’ll help you find it).
• Your contact details.
• A good-faith statement that the use isn’t authorized.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury where applicable, that the information is accurate and you’re authorized to act for the rights-holder.

We’ll review notices promptly. If we remove content, we’ll let the affected user know.

22. Third-party software

Save Override includes third-party open-source software. A full list of components, versions, and license notices is on our Licenses page. We respect those licenses and ask you to do the same.

23. Export controls and sanctions

You confirm that:

• You’re not located in a country subject to comprehensive Canadian sanctions.
• You’re not on any government denied-persons or restricted-parties list.

If your situation ever changes such that this stops being true, please stop using the service.

24. The boilerplate

• Entire agreement. These Terms (together with the AUP and Privacy Policy) are the complete agreement between you and us about Save Override. They supersede anything we might have said in marketing or conversation, except where Section 12 explicitly references our founder-pricing commitment.
• Severability. If a court finds a section unenforceable, the rest of the Terms still apply.
• No waiver. If we don’t enforce a right one time, that’s not us giving it up.
• Assignment. You can’t assign your account to someone else without our consent. We can assign these Terms (for example, if we’re acquired or restructure), in which case we’ll let you know.
• Headings. Section headings are for reading convenience. They’re not binding.
• Language. These Terms are written in English. Translations, if we offer any, are for convenience; the English version governs.

That’s it.
