Legal

Publisher Terms

Last updated: 12 November 2026

These terms are an agreement between you ("you", "the publisher") and Olive Arc Technology, the trading name of Mohammed Almadhoun, a sole proprietor based in Gazimağusa, Cyprus (North) ("we", "us"), for publishing your game on Kabooshe Games. They apply together with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Please read them before you apply. By applying, or by publishing a game, you accept them.

1. Who can publish

• You must be at least 18, or be of legal age to make binding agreements where you live, or act for a company or studio that is.
• The information you give us must be true and kept up to date.
• One person or company may have one publisher account. Do not open extra accounts to get extra free games.

2. Your game stays yours

You keep all ownership of your game, your name and your logo. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, free licence to host, copy (for technical reasons), display and promote your game on Kabooshe Games, including showing your game's name, screenshots, description, your publisher name and logo. The licence lasts while your game is published, plus the short time needed to remove it from our systems and backups.

You promise that you own your game, or have all the rights needed to publish it, including the code, art, characters, music and any other material in it, and that publishing it does not break anyone else's rights or any law. You are responsible for any claim that your game breaks someone's rights.

3. Review before publishing

We review every game before it goes live. We may ask you to change something, or refuse a game. We decide at our discretion, and we will try to tell you why. Approval does not mean we have checked that your game is free of every problem; you remain responsible for it.

4. Rules for your game

Your game must follow these rules at all times:

• It is your own work, or you hold the rights to publish all of it.
• It follows the content rules of the ad network we use on our pages (if we ever use one) and of the ad network you use. These cover things like adult content, hate, real-money gambling, and deceptive or harmful behaviour.
• It is suitable for a general audience and has an honest age rating. Many of our players are children.
• It works in modern browsers without forced downloads, pop-ups or surprise redirects.
• Its name, logo, screenshots and text describe the game honestly.

These are not allowed: copies, clones or reskins of someone else's game without permission; logos, characters or music you have no right to use; collecting players' personal information without telling them and without our approval; ads that redirect, pop up or trick players; and ad code that uses someone else's account.

5. Ads and your income

• You keep 100% of the ad income from ads inside your game. We never take a cut of your ad money.
• You use your own account with an ad network from our approved list on the publisher page. If you want to use another network, ask us first. We approve reputable networks that support web games and follow our rules. We never approve networks that show pop-unders, forced redirects, or adult or scam ads.
• You deal with your ad network directly. Its approval, terms, rules and payments are between you and the network, and you must follow its rules. You are responsible for any problem with your ad account.
• We list your ad account in our ads.txt file so networks can verify it. You agree to this. Some networks may also need you to approve the address where your game is hosted; we will tell you which address to use.
• At the moment our own pages show no ads. If that changes, we will tell you before it happens. Ads inside your game stay yours either way.
• We do not promise any number of players, views or income.

6. Players' privacy and children

You are responsible for how your game handles personal information, and you must follow the privacy and child-protection laws that apply, including KVKK in Turkey, the GDPR in Europe and COPPA in the United States where they apply. If your game collects personal information, you must tell players clearly and obtain any consent the law requires. If your game is made for children, or is likely to be played by them, use the child-directed or non-personalised ad settings that your ad network provides.

We pass each player's advertising-cookie choice to your game: in the address of the game (consent_ads=1 to allow, consent_ads=0 if not allowed or not chosen) and in a message sent to the game page. You must respect it. If it is 0, your game must not use advertising cookies or tracking, and may only show non-personalised ads where your ad network allows it. The instructions are in the publisher pack we send you.

7. Warnings, removal and bans

• If a game breaks these rules, we take it down and send you a warning. You can fix the problem and ask us to review the game again.
• If it happens a second time, your publisher account is closed and you are banned. You are not owed any compensation or refund, to the extent the law allows.
• For serious problems, such as illegal content, malware, or a credible claim that the game infringes someone's rights, we may take a game down straight away while we look into it.
• Players and rights holders can report a game. We review every report, tell you what was reported where we can, and give you a chance to reply.
• You can remove your game and close your account at any time. We remove your game within a reasonable time.

8. Plans and payment

• Your first game is free.
• Paid plans for more games are coming soon. We will publish the prices and what each plan includes before you buy, and we will not charge you without your agreement.
• Payments are handled by Paddle, which acts as the seller of record and sets the rules for payment, tax, invoices and refunds on purchases made through it. We do not see or store your card details.
• If a paid plan ends or is not renewed, games above the limit of your remaining plan may be taken down. We will explain exactly how this works, including any grace period, before paid plans open.
• If your account is closed for breaking these rules, you are not owed a refund of fees for the rest of the period, to the extent the law allows.

9. Buying games from us

Publishers can buy games from Kabooshe Games. If you want to, contact us at info@kabooshegames.com. The price and what you receive are agreed in a separate written agreement for each purchase.

10. Changes to the programme and these terms

We may change these terms, the approved ad network list, the plans, or the programme itself. We will tell publishers about material changes by email. If you keep your game published after a change, you accept it. If you do not agree, you can remove your game.

11. Limits on our responsibility

We provide the publishing service as it is. We do not guarantee that your game will be approved, that the site will always be available, or that you will reach any number of players. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for lost income, lost players or indirect losses. Nothing in these terms limits any responsibility that cannot legally be limited.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Cyprus (North). Disputes are for the competent courts of Cyprus (North), unless mandatory law gives you the right to go elsewhere.
