By using, installing, downloading or making any copy of the software, you accept these terms. You also consent to provide us with certain information as set out in these terms. If you do not accept these terms, you must not use the software and must remove and delete or destroy any copy of the software in your possession.

Hereafter the usage of the word "maps" or "map" will refer to content created using the Dragon Map Maker software.

Dragon Maps retains ownership of the Software and reserves all rights to the Software. No proprietary rights are assigned or transferred under this EULA. You may not copy, reproduce, decompile or reverse engineer the Software except as permitted by law or this EULA. This EULA does not give you any right to sub-license the Software.

What this Means: We are giving you a licence to use the software, but we still own it. You can only use the software as permitted under this EULA.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS LICENCE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SOFTWARE.

Section 3. Grant of Licence
We grant the user a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable and temporary "Indie Licence" (Hereinafter: "Licence" or "Indie Licence") to access and use the Software, subject to the terms of this EULA.

You may install the software on as many devices as you please, but you may only operate one instance of the software at any time through the account it was purchased on.

3.1 Withdrawl of Licence
We reserve the right to withdraw the licence to use the software if it is found that you are breaking any of the terms of this EULA.

3.2 Restrictions on Use
Unless otherwise permitted by law or this EULA, you must not:
(a). work around any technical limitations in the software or its security measures;
(b). reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, or disclose the algorithmic nature or describe any part of the source code or inner workings of the Software;
(c). publish the software for others to copy;

It is the responsibility of the entity that owns the AI to conform to this rule. If it is found that "Dragon Map Maker" created maps have been used to train an AI, the entity responsible for that AI must remove the training data from its AI data model and pay a yearly licencing fee applied from the date the AI could first be used to create map images. The fee will be applied to subsequent years on the date of the first licensing fee until the entity with control of the AI complies with this EULA. The yearly Licencing fee amount will be determined by Dragon Maps Ltd.

3.3. Commercial use of maps under the Indie Licence
The aim of this Indie licence is to allow Indie creators the ability to include maps with their products without any extra licence fee while protecting the existing TTRPG map-making community.

This Indie licence is not for larger creators and companies, please contact dragonmapmaker@gmail.com to negotiate a licence for your products.

The user is granted an "Indie Licence" to use the software to create maps for limited commercial use under the restrictions listed below (3.3.1,3.3.2). If the user can not meet these requirements then the user accepts that the use of the software is not allowed for commercial use.

3.3.1 Indie Licence commercial usage eligibility:
(a). Your annual gross revenue from creative work linked to the TTRPG and gaming industry must be less than USD $100,000 per year.
(b). If you are creating/supplying content using the software for a commercial entity, that entity must generate less than $100,000 USD per year whether you are a freelancer, contractor, part-time or full-time employee.
(c). In the case that the user or entity exceeds the $100,000 yearly earnings cap (3.3.1.a or 3.3.1.b) at this time the user agrees that the Indie Licence is no longer valid and the user must contact Dragon Maps (dragonmapmaker@gmail.com) to negotiate a Full Commercial Licence.

What this Means: If you or the company/entity you're making maps for earns more than $100,000 gross revenue from TTRPG products within a financial year you don't qualify for the Indie Licence and will have to contact Dragon Maps to negotiate a Full Commercial Licence if you want to sell maps with your product.

3.3.2 Restrictions for map usage under the Indie Licence:
(a). Maps must NOT be sold on their own or in map packs. (sold also includes donations or patronage. )
(b). You may use the Software to create maps as part of a larger product and monetise it as a digital or a physical product or part of either.

What this Means:
Essentially your product should not be just a map or a collection of maps. You must include additional content along with the map(s).
Examples of products including maps that are allowed:
(1). Adventure modules (large or small) with maps relevant to the encounters and locations in the module.
(2). An Encounter/Battle map with included descriptive text and encounter suggestions for the specific map(s) included.
(3). A campaign book with added map(s) for relevant encounters/areas.
(4). A setting/world book with added map(s) for relevant areas.
(5). Map(s) with other products included that have a similar theme. Like Desert creature tokens or minis bundled with desert maps.

3.3.3 Online streams, Live Play Sessions and paid DM'ing
Maps may be used in online streams and live play sessions (Twitch, YouTube etc) as long as "Dragon Map Maker" is credited in the show notes or on the stream. Online streams, Live play sessions and paid DM'ing do not fall under the commercial usage terms (3.3.1).

What this Means: You can use maps in streams, live play sessions and paid DM'ed games even if you earn over $100,000 per year from TTRPG linked income.

3.3.4 The User furthermore agrees and acknowledges that we have the right to contact the User if we have reasons to believe that the User has exceeded the annual gross revenue as seen in sections 3.31.a or 3.31.b and that we have the right to request from such User any and all reasonable financial information to verify ("right to audit") whether the User has exceeded the aforementioned annual gross revenue. In case a User fails to comply with such request, we can unilaterally terminate this Agreement (as set out in section 15).
