Welcome to Getin2Games (a subsidiary of FOG Studios, Inc.), your full service site for students, educational institutions, industry and recruitment firms. G2G is designed to directly connect the games industry to all of the feeder institutions and prospective internship and job candidates around the world, providing everyone with not only a forum to very inexpensively post their needs and opportunities, but also an optional personalized matchmaking service that augments the limited resources of most university guidance departments, and small company and independent developer-level HR departments.
If you are a visitor to Getin2Games.com, you agree that these Terms of Service will govern your use of the website. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service and the Privacy Statement, you should not use the Getin2Games.com web site or Getin2Games services. To attain a membership within Getin2Games, you must read, agree with and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Terms of Service and the Privacy Statement, which include those terms and conditions expressly set out below and those incorporated by reference. We may change these Terms of Service from time to time, so please check back often.
To access the members-only areas of Getin2Games.com (such as our career, internship, school or student listings), you must first register and follow the procedure to become a member of Getin2Games. You may not transfer your membership to another person, share it with anyone, or use it to impersonate anyone. You agree that you will provide us with accurate and true membership information (such as your real name and a valid e-mail address) and will update your membership information if it becomes outdated. We may terminate your membership if we are unable to verify or authenticate the information you provide to us. If you are registering under “Industry”, “Schools” or “Recruiters” you must be a valid company/educational institution offering valid internship positions, career postings or educational programs.
You agree to help protect your membership by guarding your password, and by changing it as soon as possible if you believe its security has been compromised. You also agree to notify Getin2Games immediately if you believe your membership has been used without your authorization. We may communicate with you via email and any other similar technology for purposes relating to your membership, any orders you place with us, or any other services we provide to you.
For more information about how we treat the information you provide to us, please see our Privacy Policy, which is a part of these Terms of Service.
The service will be provided for the subscription length selected and upon completion of that term will automatically renew for an equivalent term unless cancelled or modified by the user. Company cannot refund or provide credit for a partial term cancellation.
As a Getin2Games member, you will be able to post information on your profile; users (including students, schools, employers and recruiters) can also post listings of career opportunities, resumes, portfolios, internship opportunities, company profiles, school profiles, events and other resources. Getin2Games is not responsible for content posted by other members or other users. We do not verify, endorse or vouch for any such information or content. We do, however, enforce these Terms of Service, and we reserve the right to modify, refuse (or remove) listings in our sole discretion if we determine that they are inaccurate, were posted without authorization, or otherwise violate these Terms of Service. You agree that the content you post will not violate these Terms of Service. Specifically, you agree that you will not post content that:
- is false, inaccurate, or misleading;
- infringes any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy;

- contains viruses, Trojan horses, time bombs, worms, cancelbots, time bombs, easter eggs or other computer programming routines that may damage or interfere with the operation of any system, or unlawfully intercept any data or personal information.
You also agree that you will not:
- reproduce, distribute, republish or retransmit material posted by any other Getin2Games users without the permission of that user and Getin2Games;
- take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; or
- interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Getin2Games website, any activities conducted on the site, or any networks through which you access the site.
- This site makes no guarantees as to the level of success a user may achieve by using the service.
We make no guarantee that your posting will be accessible for the entire term of its listing. Computer outages, software failure and other technical and non-technical issues may cause temporary outages that we cannot be held liable for.
You agree that your job listings may be available on the job boards of our networked partners. If you do not want your jobs listed on additional job boards for free, you need to e-mail info@getin2games.com with your request.

For students, by completing your profile and our skills matrix tool, your information (which may include your name, contact information, company affiliation and job title, programming experience and other goodies) will be available and accessible to other users on the website, unless you make your profile private.
For employers or recruiters, you can submit your opportunities and they will be added to our career postings and internship postings databases. You will also be able to complete the skills matrix tool for each opportunity, which will tabulate the most appropriate candidates by percentage of skill matches and provide them to you.
Game development companies, outsource studios, recruiters, schools or any other companies that participate in the interactive gaming industry may post their detailed profiles on the Getin2Games website, as well as post events to the “Event Listings” database. All items are posted with editorial discretion.
