Terms of Service
Cloverfield is a Building New Life product · Last updated: July 1, 2026
Agreement
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a binding legal agreement between you ("you", "user") and Building New Life, registered at Eteläesplanadi 22, 00130 Helsinki, Finland ("we", "us", "our"), governing your access to and use of Cloverfield, including its websites, applications, agent software (cloverfield.exe), APIs, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). Cloverfield is operated by Building New Life as one of its products. By creating an Account, minting a session, downloading or running the agent, viewing a report, or otherwise using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms together with our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, league, or tournament, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity to these Terms.
Definitions
"Account" — your registered operator profile used to access the Service. "Operator" — a person or organization with an Account who mints session codes and receives reports. "Player" — a person who downloads and runs the agent in response to a session code. "Agent" — the cloverfield.exe forensic scanner distributed by us. "Session" — a single scan flow identified by a six-digit code. "Report" — the structured forensic output produced by the agent for a session. "License" — a key that grants access to metered or paid features of the Service.
What Cloverfield is — and isn't
Cloverfield is a remote forensic scanning tool for Windows PCs used in competitive gaming. Operators mint a six-digit session code from the dashboard. The player downloads the agent, enters the code, and the agent collects forensic artifacts (filesystem metadata, registry, prefetch, loaded modules, pagefile signatures, known cleaner traces) and uploads a structured report to the operator's session. Cloverfield is not a live anti-cheat, does not run continuously, does not block cheats from executing, and does not interact with games at runtime. It is a forensic post-event tool, not a prevention tool.
Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old, or such higher age required in your jurisdiction, to use the Service. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and accepted these Terms on your behalf. Paid Accounts require majority under your local law. By using Cloverfield you represent that the information you provide is accurate, that you are not barred from receiving services under applicable law, and that you are not located in a country subject to comprehensive sanctions or designated as a terrorist-supporting jurisdiction.
Accounts and credentials
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account, for keeping your credentials confidential, and for promptly notifying us at security@buildingnew.life if you suspect unauthorized access. Operator Accounts are personal — you may not share credentials, transfer your Account, or let another person mint sessions on your behalf without our written permission. We may require additional verification (for example, email or phone confirmation) at any time. We are not liable for losses caused by your failure to safeguard your credentials.
License to use the Service
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your internal personal or business purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. The agent may be redistributed only in its original, unmodified form as downloaded from cloverfield.app.
Player consent and lawful use
Operators are solely responsible for obtaining clear, informed, and ideally written consent from any player before requesting they run the agent. The player must voluntarily download and execute the agent themselves on a machine they own or have authority over. You must not coerce, deceive, or pressure a player into running the agent, and you must not use Cloverfield against any system without the system owner's explicit permission. Unauthorized access to a computer system may violate computer-misuse, anti-hacking, wiretap, and privacy laws in your jurisdiction (including the US CFAA, the UK Computer Misuse Act, and the EU NIS2 framework). These Terms are not legal advice; if you are unsure whether your intended use is lawful, get advice before you scan.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service, and not to permit any third party to use the Service, in any manner that: (a) violates any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right; (b) reverse engineers, decompiles, repacks, mirrors, or redistributes the agent or any part of the Service except as expressly permitted by law; (c) tampers with, bypasses, or attempts to falsify reports, signatures, or hashes; (d) interferes with or disrupts the Service, its infrastructure, or its security controls, including bypassing rate limits; (e) uses the Service to harass, dox, blackmail, extort, defame, or threaten any person; (f) selectively edits, redacts, or misrepresents reports to a third party in a materially misleading way; (g) uses Cloverfield to scan systems unrelated to a competitive gaming context for which you have a legitimate, consented purpose; (h) misrepresents automated forensic output as a definitive verdict; (i) develops, trains, or evaluates any competing product using data, designs, or know-how derived from the Service. The above list is illustrative, not exhaustive.
Safety enforcement and reporting
The Service operates automated review processes designed to detect and prevent prohibited use, including the categories described in Section 8. These systems may inspect uploads, session metadata, and account activity, and may block, quarantine, or refuse requests in real time. Where activity on your Account is determined, in our reasonable judgement, to constitute a serious violation of these Terms or of applicable law — in particular any conduct relating to the sexual exploitation of minors, terrorist content, credible threats of violence, or attempts to procure such material through the Service — we may, without prior notice and at our sole discretion: (a) suspend or permanently terminate your Account and any associated Accounts; (b) preserve and forward all related records, including request metadata, account identifiers, network information, and timestamps, to the appropriate authorities, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and law enforcement in the relevant jurisdictions, in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, EU Regulation 2021/1232, the Finnish Criminal Code, and other applicable reporting obligations; and (c) retain such records for the period required by law, notwithstanding any contrary deletion request.
Reports, findings and decisions
Reports describe forensic artifacts as observed by the agent at the moment of the scan. Findings may include suspicious files, suspicious behaviour, anti-forensic tooling, or known cleaner signatures. A report is evidence — it is not a verdict. Cloverfield does not issue bans, sanctions, prize forfeitures, or rulings on your behalf. Any decision you take based on a report (including bans, ineligibility rulings, public statements, or sponsorship action) is your decision and your responsibility. You agree to apply due process appropriate to your league, tournament, or organization, including giving the player a meaningful opportunity to respond before a permanent decision is made.
Your content
You retain ownership of the content you submit (session notes, custom labels, uploaded evidence). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, modify (for technical purposes such as formatting), and display User Content as necessary to operate, secure, support, audit, and improve the Service. We do not sell User Content. You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to your User Content and that its processing by the Service does not violate any law or third-party right, and you will indemnify us against any claim arising from User Content you submit.
Licenses, subscriptions and payments
Certain features of the Service require a paid license or subscription. Prices, tiers, and included session limits are listed on the pricing page and may change on reasonable notice. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. License keys are prepaid, denominated in the currency shown at purchase, and have no monetary value outside the Service. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. Fees are exclusive of taxes, which you are responsible for paying unless we are required to collect them.
Refunds
Except where mandatory consumer protection law provides otherwise, all sales are final and license keys are non-refundable once issued. EU consumers may have a 14-day right of withdrawal for digital services; by beginning to use the Service immediately upon purchase you expressly request that the service begins before the withdrawal period expires and acknowledge that the right of withdrawal lapses once the service is fully performed.
Beta and experimental features
We may make features available labelled as "beta", "preview", "lab", or similar. Such features are provided as-is, may change or be withdrawn without notice, may be unstable, and are not subject to any service-level commitment.
Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and delete your Account from Settings. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access — in whole or in part, with or without notice — if (a) you breach these Terms, (b) we reasonably believe your use creates risk or potential liability for us, other users, or third parties, or (c) we are required to do so by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 9, 10, 11, 17, 18, 19, and 21) will continue in effect.
Account recovery
Suspensions and terminations issued under Section 9 are not handled through standard support channels. A single written appeal may be submitted to privacy@buildingnew.life within 14 days of the action. Other suspensions may be appealed by writing to hello@buildingnew.life.
Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, the agent, the report format, the site design, trademarks, logos, and the "Cloverfield" name, is owned by Building New Life or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of those rights to you. You may not remove or alter any proprietary notices, and you may not use our name, logo, or branding without prior written permission, except for factual statements that you use Cloverfield.
Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service and all reports are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that the agent will detect every cheat or that reports will be free of false positives or false negatives.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party shall be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, prize pools, sponsorships, or reputational harm, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) EUR 50.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Building New Life, its affiliates, and their officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your User Content, (b) your use of the Service, (c) your violation of these Terms, (d) your violation of any law or third-party right (including a player's right to consent or to privacy), or (e) any decision you make based on a report.
Force majeure
Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labour disputes, internet or power failures, or third-party service outages.
Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of Finland, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of Helsinki, Finland, have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, without prejudice to mandatory consumer rights to bring proceedings in your country of residence.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of substantially all of our assets.
Notices
We may provide notices to you via the Service, by email to the address associated with your Account, or by posting on our website. You must send legal notices to us at Eteläesplanadi 22, 00130 Helsinki, Finland, with a copy to legal@buildingnew.life.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced in the Service or by email at least 14 days before they take effect, except where an earlier change is required for legal or security reasons. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
Severability, waiver and entire agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any policies or guidelines referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
