All content on The Lounge—including text, graphics, logos, images, diagnostic frameworks, game recommendations, therapeutic mechanism descriptions, and layout—is the property of The Lounge or its content providers and is protected by international copyright and intellectual property laws.

You may view and print content for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not reproduce, distribute, transmit, modify, or create derivative works from any content without explicit written permission from The Lounge.

4. User-Generated Content

If The Lounge provides features for user comments, forum posts, or community contributions, you retain ownership of your content. By submitting content to The Lounge, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, reproduce, modify, and display that content in connection with our services.

You warrant that any content you submit is original, does not infringe third-party rights, and complies with all applicable laws. The Lounge is not responsible for user-generated content and reserves the right to remove any content that violates these terms or is otherwise inappropriate.

5. Disclaimers

The Lounge is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information, recommendations, or diagnostic suggestions on this site.

Important: The Lounge is an informational gaming hub and diagnostic tool designed to help you explore games that may support your mental wellness. Our content is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are experiencing serious mental health concerns, anxiety, depression, or other psychological distress, please consult a qualified healthcare professional or mental health practitioner.

Game recommendations provided by The Lounge are based on observed cause-effect reasoning and symptom-relief logic, not clinical validation. Individual responses to games vary, and we cannot guarantee that any recommended game will produce the intended effect for every user.

We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components. Your use of this site is at your own risk.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Swedish law, The Lounge and its owners, operators, and content providers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use this site, including but not limited to:

• Loss of data or information
• Loss of revenue or profit
• Emotional distress or mental health consequences
• Reliance on inaccurate diagnostic or game recommendations
• Third-party claims or actions

This limitation applies even if The Lounge has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so this limitation may not apply to you in full.

The Lounge may contain links to third-party websites, game stores, or external resources. We do not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for the content, accuracy, or practices of these external sites.
