The park rulebook · 2026-09-07.1
Terms & Conditions
Clear rules for a colourful neighbourhood.
Before you pay: this is advertising that another buyer can replace at 1.5×. There is no minimum display time and no payout when you are outbid. Consumer cancellation and other mandatory rights still apply.
1. Who operates the park
Silicon Village is operated by K & Stacks Oy, Finnish business ID 3531708-3, Unikkotie 11, 01300 Vantaa, Finland. Contact us for support, complaints, cancellation and content reports at krister@inbot.io. These terms cover visitors and buyers, including businesses and consumers. You must be at least 18 to purchase and have authority to represent any business you advertise.
2. What you buy
An office purchase buys a limited advertising placement in a fictional interactive map: your company name, permitted logo, chosen website link, and the accepted building design, plus a current-resident directory listing. You need an internet connection and a modern browser with WebGL support for the interactive map. Check the free preview on your device before paying; ordinary internet or mobile data charges may apply. “Buy”, “own”, “property” and “resident” describe this advertising feature; they do not grant land, equity, intellectual property in the park, a transferable asset, or an investment. We do not promise visitors, clicks, sales, search ranking, indexing, a particular camera view or a financial return. Paid links may be marked as sponsored. Third-party websites are controlled by their operators.
3. Outbids and how long your ad lasts
Your primary placement starts after successful payment and allocation, and lasts until a successful replacement purchase, a justified removal under these terms, or the service ends. There is no guaranteed minimum display period: another buyer may replace your ad immediately. The replacement price is 1.5 times the current placement value, rounded up to the next whole euro (€29 → €44 → €66). The server confirms the current price; a preview does not reserve a price indefinitely. The new buyer pays us, not the previous resident. Being outbid does not itself entitle you to a refund, compensation, or any share of the next purchase. Mandatory consumer rights and remedies are unaffected. You may reclaim the same office through your private ownership link. All your successful, non-refunded payments for that office are cumulative credit: the amount due is the current takeover value minus that credit, with a minimum of zero. Reused credit is not a new payment. For example, after paying €100 and being replaced at €150, you pay €125 to reach a takeover value of €225. The next takeover value is €338 under our whole-euro rounding. Credit is tied to the same buyer and office, is not transferable, and cannot be withdrawn as cash. Refunded payments are excluded; payments under refund review are unavailable as credit until resolved. Keep your private ownership link securely; matching a public company name or email does not prove entitlement. Each reclaim can itself be replaced without a minimum display period. Previous residents’ names, links and available logos remain in the building’s history while that history is offered, subject to moderation, privacy rights and service availability; this is not a promise of permanent advertising.
4. Price, payment and delivery
The checkout shows the total in euros before you commit to pay, including applicable taxes. This is a one-time payment, not a subscription. Stripe processes payment; we do not receive your full card details. Your bank may apply its own currency conversion charges. A temporary checkout hold can expire; leaving checkout is not a purchase. A contract for the placement is formed when payment succeeds and the plot is allocated. If payment is taken but we cannot allocate it, we will arrange a full refund to the original payment method. Bank processing can take additional time. We may correct obvious pricing errors before payment, but will not charge more without your agreement. Keep your receipt and plot number for support.
5. Consumer cancellation and refunds
If you buy mainly outside your trade or profession, mandatory consumer protection applies. EU/EEA consumers normally have 14 days from concluding an online service contract to withdraw without giving a reason. We do not treat clicking “start immediately”, generating a custom design, or being outbid as a blanket waiver of that right. For clarity, we offer consumers who notify us within that 14-day period a full refund of the placement payment, including if display has already started; we do not deduct an early-service charge under this policy. This commercial promise does not reduce any longer statutory period or other remedies. To withdraw, use our online withdrawal form, email krister@inbot.io or write to our address, clearly stating that you withdraw. The online form lets you review and confirm your notice, then gives you a numbered, timestamped acknowledgment to download. It does not automatically email you or issue a refund. Include your name and enough information to identify the purchase; a receipt reference or office number helps, but no special wording or particular form is required. Sending the notice before the deadline is sufficient. We will stop any placement you still hold; withdrawing an earlier purchase does not remove a later buyer’s placement. We will refund without undue delay and within 14 days after receiving your withdrawal notice, using the original payment method unless agreed otherwise without fees. Consumers retain applicable remedies for non-delivery, defects and services not as described. For businesses and outside consumer cancellation rights, we do not offer a change-of-mind refund or an outbid refund; refunds remain available where we fail to supply the agreed service or law requires them.
6. Building designs and AI
The designer produces constrained 3D geometry from your description. AI generation is available only after payment to the current owner. Each purchase includes one initial design and two rerolls (three saved designs in total). You may keep the existing architecture or compare and publish any of your saved designs while you remain the owner. Failed generations do not consume a design credit. Designs can differ from your intention, contain errors, or resemble other generated designs. We do not promise exclusive ownership or copyright protection of AI output. Generation availability, rate limits and supported features may change. Editing access ends when your placement is replaced or refunded. Keep your private owner link confidential. We may adapt geometry for performance, accessibility or compatibility while preserving the essential advertising service. Do not put secrets, personal sensitive information or content you have no right to use into prompts. Office descriptions, property category, supplied company name, website hostname, tagline and optional colour are sent to OpenAI to generate brand-aware designs when the connected AI designer is used. Geometry can be reused for matching inputs. Uploaded logo artwork is applied locally and is not included in the current AI request. The designer does not browse your website.
7. Your content and permissions
You are responsible for having rights to your business names, logos, descriptions, designs and linked content, and for complying with advertising law. You retain your rights in submitted materials. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to store, resize, render and publicly display those materials as necessary to provide your placement, resident history and ordinary screenshots/share previews of the park. This permission lasts while we provide those features, subject to applicable privacy and other legal rights. Necessary technical providers may process the materials on our behalf. This is not permission to sell your logo separately or claim your endorsement. You must not submit unlawful or infringing material, impersonation, scams, phishing, malware, hateful or discriminatory content, sexual exploitation or explicit adult advertising, threats, or deceptive claims. A lawful destination must remain lawful after purchase. You must not bypass limits, attack the service, manipulate payments, or abuse the designer.
8. Moderation and complaints about content
Report an office or link to krister@inbot.io, including its plot number, the relevant URL, your reasons and supporting details. We may restrict a design or link, request corrections, or remove content where reasonably necessary for illegality, rights infringement, these content rules, fraud or security. Where lawful and practicable, we will explain the reason and give you an opportunity to respond; urgent risks may require immediate action. You may contest a decision by replying with evidence. Removal does not automatically forfeit every refund right: we will assess the reason, service provided and applicable law. Buying an ad does not buy immunity from moderation.
9. Availability, changes and closure
The map may experience maintenance, outages or device limitations. We will use reasonable care and skill to provide the service. Buildings, surroundings and camera controls may evolve; we do not promise an unchanging map. We will not use these terms to remove mandatory remedies or materially reduce a paid service without an appropriate remedy. If we discontinue the park, we will give reasonable notice where possible, stop accepting new purchases, and assess remedies for affected paid placements, including refunds where required. An indefinite display period is not a lifetime hosting guarantee.
10. Responsibility and liability
We are responsible for our own performance as required by law. We are not responsible for the independent products or websites advertised by other residents. Nothing excludes liability for fraud, deliberate misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury where applicable, or liability that cannot legally be limited. For business buyers only, and to the extent permitted by law, we exclude indirect loss and lost profits and limit aggregate liability for a placement to the amount paid for that placement, except for the exclusions just listed. These business limits do not restrict a consumer’s statutory rights. Both parties should take reasonable steps to limit avoidable loss.
11. Information and records
Your advertising name, website, tagline, logo, building design, payment amount and time of taking a plot are public. Resident history records the name, website, payment amount, time and available logo and colour; it does not preserve the full former building design or tagline. Receipt email and payment references are not published. We use contact and transaction records to deliver purchases, resolve support, prevent abuse, record acceptance and meet accounting obligations. AI descriptions are processed as explained above. Do not submit personal information you do not want shown publicly in your ad. Contact krister@inbot.io for access, correction, deletion or other privacy requests; some transaction records must be retained by law. Our privacy notice explains the data, purposes, providers and current retention arrangements. A terms agreement is not marketing consent.
12. Disputes and applicable law
Please contact krister@inbot.io first so we can investigate. Finnish law governs these terms, without depriving consumers of mandatory protections under laws that otherwise apply in their country of residence. Consumers may use competent courts available under applicable law, and in Finland may seek help from Consumer Advisory Services and refer eligible disputes to the Consumer Disputes Board. We do not require consumers to waive court access or use private arbitration. Business disputes are subject to the competent courts in Finland.
13. Versions and independence
Version 2026-09-07.1. The terms accepted at checkout govern that purchase; later updates do not retroactively remove accrued rights. New purchases may use updated terms, presented before payment. If one provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue where lawful. Silicon Village is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by HBO, the Silicon Valley television programme, or companies depicted or referenced in the park.
