User-Generated Content (UGC):
We encourage all individuals in our community, including modders, to create User-Generated Content ("UGC"), and we support you in this regard! Under this Agreement, we grant you the right to create, use, and publicly access UGC for non-commercial purposes. However, as the creator of the content, you are responsible for the content you create, and this content must not contain any material that is illegal, infringes on intellectual property rights protected by law, violates copyright, etc., or violates any contractual provisions or is generally contrary to common sense.
The scope of the rights you may have over your own created UGC is limited to the new, original content you have created as part of the relevant UGC and does not grant you any rights regarding services or content created or made accessible by third parties or C.O.T.E through the services.
When you make your UGC publicly accessible, you grant us and our affiliates a non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, irrevocable, and perpetually valid right to use, develop, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from the content, distribute, transmit, publish, or otherwise disclose, publicly display, perform publicly, and commercialize it in any way or form, in any medium or forum, without any reference to you or any payment. This right will continue to be effective even after the termination or termination of this Agreement.
Unless otherwise specified, UGC production and publication are strictly limited to non-commercial purposes. UGC will be available for free and accessible for free (e.g., you cannot place your UGC behind any payment wall); however, you can accept donations through a Patreon account or similar services or through sponsorships for the time you spend creating content.
C.O.T.E has no obligation to use, distribute, or continue to distribute your UGC and may, at our sole discretion, limit the scope of your UGC content or remove such content.
If you encounter any content created by another user that you find disturbing, we recommend that you report the relevant content to us by filling out a request form (ticket) through our support portal.

Within the scope of our services, you can create videos containing gameplay, game music, sounds, and screenshots ("C.O.T.E Game Contents"), livestream on platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Bilibili, Reddit, or create artwork, and share them with the public for free, provided that your content is freely accessible to everyone (e.g., you cannot place your content behind any payment wall). The commercialization of such content is only allowed through the official affiliates, advertising, or partnership programs of these websites. Commercializing C.O.T.E Game Contents in any other way is strictly prohibited.
Unless instructed otherwise in writing by us or our partners, you may use C.O.T.E Game Contents obtained only from officially publicly released games or officially released promotional materials (e.g., product introduction videos, etc.).

If you want to use the intellectual property rights of a third party (e.g., music) along with C.O.T.E Game Contents, you are responsible for obtaining all necessary permissions from the relevant third parties. We would like to remind you that we may not be the ultimate rights holder for some game music or songs included in our services. As this may vary from game to game, please note that some situations may deem certain music content objectionable, leading to the likely removal of the relevant video. In addition, game music can never be shared or distributed separately from the game visuals. Also, music obtained from the following soundtrack/channels cannot be used:

You are not allowed to make explicit or implicit statements that your videos are officially associated with us, sponsored, supported, or endorsed by us, except in cases where we explicitly instruct otherwise.

Engaging in actions that could negatively impact C.O.T.E, other C.O.T.E users, or others (e.g., sharing spam content on forums, sharing personal data, harassing users, displaying aggressive attitudes and behaviors, adding unnecessary comments to old forum threads to "bump" them, sharing inappropriate content such as NSFW, or disrupting peace and order).
Supporting, encouraging, or participating in any way in the prohibited activities described above.
7a. Pursuant to this agreement; publicly defaming the C.O.T.E brand, its products and services, its publishers, and/or producers on any social media platform, during broadcasts (streams), or in Steam store reviews (and/or any social media platform) can lead to legal consequences against you.

Games and Game Launch Platform (Launcher):
Before starting to play any game in the future, you may be required to install and use the most up-to-date version of the C.O.T.E Launcher program on your device.

You can install a game on different computers; however, you can only run a game on one computer/device at a time.

This Agreement will remain in effect until terminated by you or C.O.T.E. C.O.T.E may terminate this Agreement if it determines that you have violated the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

You have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time. If you terminate this Agreement, you must immediately cease using the Service/Services.
