CONTRACT | What is the Upload Agreement? – Developer Portal - Support

The Upload Agreement is another name for the Game License & Upload Agreement, which is it's official name. This has also been called the Game Upload Agreement or the Developer Upload Agreement at different times in documentation, but they all refer to the same thing.

It is the main agreement, or contract, between a developer and Kongregate that governs how a game can be distributed on the Kongregate platform. It defines the license granted by a developer to Kongregate, how revenue share programs work, developer responsibilities, and other operational terms. It covers:

licensing a game to Kongregate for distribution and promotion
revenue share programs
developer rights and responsibilities for the content they upload including content guidelines and prohibited material
support obligations
intellectual property rights
dispute resolution
platform operations
how Kongregate may respond to violations

If a developer uploads a game to Kongregate, the Game License & Upload Agreement forms the legal framework for the relationship between a developer and Kongregate.

Why it matters: Following the agreement ensures a developer's game remains available and compliant with platform rules.
