Store Terms Of Use - grammar flaws

There are a few editing errors in the Terms Of Use webpage that could be problematical.

The one most susceptible to aggressive misinterpretation is in the last sentence of the COPYRIGHT section: "All software used on this site is the property of Soulbound Studios or its software suppliers, third party affiliates, or User Generated Content is protected by United States and international copyright laws."

The sentence contains two clauses with verbs separated by "...,or...". This could be interpreted as only one of the other being asserted. (There is case law in UK for upholding such a misinterpretation)

There is a similar error in editing at the end of the first paragraph of the section CODE OF CONDUCT: "Soulbound Studios and its Services shall be free of discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, and sexual identity, and conduct not consistent with the same, including language that is obscene, threatening, bullying, sexually threatening, or invades the personal privacy of any user is a violation of the Code of Conduct." Again, there are two verbed clauses in this run-on sentence, though in this case an alternative meaning cannot readily be argued.

In the first paragraph of In Game Purchases of Goods, Perks, and Attributes; "Attributes have no cash value and are not redeemable for any some of money..." should be "...sum of money.."

In Kickstarter and Fundraising, first paragraph: "...including operational costs of related to the Services..." - extraneous "of" You should replace the word "deposit", which implies a remunerable account, with the word "donation".

In the second paragraph of DISCLAIMER, you have neglected to replace the generic "COMPANY" with your company name (4 instances)

And finally, in the first paragraph of In Game Purchases of Goods, Perks, and Attributes:

"You expressly acknowledge and agree Soulbound Studios may change, ... , and that such changes enhance and improve Your use of the Services." to demand that ANY future modification must be expressly acknowledged to represent an enhancement to personal usage makes this an unfair contract - it potentially exhorts the signee to purgery were they required to uphold this provision in a legal document.

Whilst I grant that this is all boilerplate and never likely to achieve relevancy I think it is necessary that, if you must have them at all, a lawyer with some understanding of international differences in contract law takes a look at these terms of use and any EULA.

PS. Did you know that this websites online spelling checker doesn't recognise the word "Soulbound"?
