Website Terms & Conditions

Website Purpose

The website currently provides information about Distro Gaming and our development of Linux gaming PCs. It may also allow visitors to request presale-opening, launch, and product-development notifications.

The website is currently informational. Unless we clearly state otherwise, it does not offer products for immediate purchase.

United States Availability

The website, mailing list, planned presale, and planned product launch are intended for people located in the United States.

We do not represent that the website, its content, or any future product offering is appropriate or legally available in another country.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the website or submit information through it.

If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, you may use the website only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.

Any future purchase, deposit, or reservation may be limited to adults who have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.

Mailing-List Signup

You may submit your email address to request Distro Gaming presale and product updates.

When subscribing, you agree to:

• Provide an email address you are authorized to use.
• Receive the communications described near the signup form.
• Avoid submitting another person’s email address without permission.
• Use the unsubscribe link or contact us when you no longer wish to receive marketing messages.

Joining the mailing list does not create a purchase agreement or customer relationship beyond your request to receive communications.

Our handling of subscriber information is described in our Privacy Policy.

No Reservation, Order, or Guarantee

Submitting your email address does not:

• Reserve a computer.
• Place you in a guaranteed purchase position.
• Create an order.
• Require you to make a payment.
• Guarantee access to a presale.
• Guarantee product availability.
• Guarantee any particular price, specification, configuration, feature, launch date, delivery date, or quantity.

Any future reservation, deposit, presale, or purchase will be governed by separate terms presented before payment is collected.

These Website Terms & Conditions do not constitute the final terms for purchasing a Distro Gaming computer.

Product Information May Change

Distro Gaming is still developing its products, configurations, testing procedures, documentation, pricing, and launch plans.

Information published on the website may be preliminary and may change without notice, including:

• Product specifications.
• Component selections.
• Operating systems and software.
• Prices and fees.
• Presale structure.
• Inventory quantities.
• Launch timing.
• Shipping availability.
• Support services.
• Warranty and return terms.

We may correct errors, update information, change planned features, or discontinue a planned offering at any time before entering into a binding purchase agreement.

Game Compatibility and Performance Information

Distro Gaming may publish game compatibility findings, benchmarks, test results, configuration guidance, and related technical information.

Compatibility and performance results are observations from particular tests conducted using specific hardware, software, drivers, operating-system versions, game versions, launchers, settings, and testing dates.

A result showing that a game worked during testing does not guarantee that:

• The game will work on every computer.
• The game will continue working after an update.
• The same performance will be achieved in every environment.
• Online services or multiplayer functions will remain available.
• A launcher, anti-cheat system, driver, operating system, or third-party service will remain compatible.
• A game publisher or other third party will continue supporting Linux or compatibility software.

Games and services can change because of patches, driver releases, launcher changes, operating-system updates, anti-cheat changes, server availability, account restrictions, regional restrictions, or decisions made by third parties outside Distro Gaming’s control.

Compatibility information should be treated as a dated testing record, not a promise of permanent compatibility or an express warranty.

Any warranty accompanying a future product will be stated separately in the purchase documents applicable to that product.

You may use the website only for lawful purposes.

You may not:

• Interfere with the website’s operation or security.

• Use the website to violate another person’s rights.
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation with Distro Gaming.
• Submit another person’s personal information without authorization.
• Use Distro Gaming content or branding to falsely imply endorsement, partnership, or affiliation.

We may restrict or block access when we reasonably believe that use of the website violates these Terms or threatens the website, Distro Gaming, or another person.

Third-Party Names and Trademarks

The website may refer to games, game publishers, operating systems, software projects, launchers, hardware manufacturers, stores, and other third-party products or services.

Third-party names, product names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Distro Gaming does not control those services and is not responsible for their:

You grant Distro Gaming permission to use nonconfidential feedback without compensation or restriction, including to improve the website, products, documentation, and testing methods.

Disclaimers

Nothing in this section disclaims a warranty or consumer right that cannot legally be disclaimed.

Limitation of Liability

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions or liability limitations. In those jurisdictions, these provisions apply only to the extent permitted by law.

These limitations apply only to use of the informational website. Separate liability, warranty, refund, and remedy provisions may apply to future product purchases.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Nothing in these Terms prevents you from exercising a consumer right or remedy that cannot legally be waived.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the website, business, or planned product offering changes.

Updated Terms will apply to use of the website after they are posted.

Changes to these Website Terms & Conditions will not retroactively replace separate purchase terms that apply to a completed transaction.

Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.

A failure by Distro Gaming to enforce a provision does not waive our right to enforce it later.

Entire Agreement

These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the agreement between you and Distro Gaming concerning use of the informational website.

They do not replace separate terms that may apply to a future reservation, deposit, presale, purchase, warranty, return, or support service.
