In order to protect Phoenix Point (aka, the "Game"), modders, and the members of our community, we need these end user license terms to set out some rules for downloading and modding the Game. This license is a legal agreement between you and us (Snapshot Games, Inc.) and describes the terms and conditions for using and modding the Game. If you break these rules we may stop you from using the Game or, if necessary, take other legal action. We don't want to do this, so please do not break these rules.

If you buy, download, use, mod or play our Game, you are agreeing to stick to the terms of this end user license agreement ("EULA"). If you don't want to or can't agree to these rules, then you must not buy, download, mod, use or play our Game. This EULA incorporates the terms of use for the Game itself, our brand and asset usage guidelines, and our privacy policy, all of which are available on our website (www.phoenixpoint.info). By agreeing to this EULA you also agree to all of the terms of the foregoing documents, so please read through them carefully.


You agree not to distribute anything we've made unless we specifically say you can in a direct communication between us. By "distribute anything we've made" what we mean is:

* give copies of our Game to anyone else (with the exceptions of copies you separately buy yourself);
* make commercial use of anything we've made;
* try to make money from anything we've made; or
* let other people get access to anything we've made in a way that is unfair or unreasonable;

unless we specifically agree to it. To be super clear: "the Game" or "what we have made" includes, but is not limited to, the client or the server software for our Game on all platforms. It also includes updates, patches, downloadable content, add-ons, or modified versions of a Game, part of those things, or anything else we've made.

Otherwise we encourage you to do cool stuff - please have fun! But just don't do those things that we say you can't.


You have been granted a license to the Game so you can play and use it, yourself, on your devices. Probably, you bought it. Thanks! Enjoy it.

Below we also give you limited rights to do other things but we have to draw a line somewhere or else people will go too far. If you wish to mod the game, please make sure that your mod can't be interpreted as being officially from us and that it complies with this EULA, and above all do not make commercial use of anything we've made.

The license and permission we give you to use and play our Game can be revoked if you break any of the terms of this EULA.

If you've bought the Game, you may play around with it and modify it by adding modifications, tools, or plugins, which we will refer to collectively as "Mods." By "Mods," we mean something original that you or someone else created that doesn't contain a substantial part of our copyrightable code or content. When you combine your Mod with the Phoenix Point software, we will call that combination a "Modded Version" of the Game. We have the final say on what constitutes a Mod and what doesn't. You may not distribute any Modded Versions of our Game or software as if they were official, and we'd appreciate it if you didn't use Mods for creating things inappropriate or offensive. Basically, Mods are okay to distribute; hacked versions or Modded Versions of the Game client or server software are not okay to distribute.

Within reason you're free to do whatever you want with screenshots and videos of the Game or any Mods you make for it. By "within reason" we mean that you can't make any commercial use of them or do things that are unfair or adversely affect our rights unless we've specifically said it's okay in this EULA or provided for it in a specific agreement with you. If you upload videos of the game to video sharing and streaming sites you are however allowed to put ads on them. Also, don't just rip art resources and pass them around. That's not nice.

Essentially the simple rule is do not make commercial use of anything we've made unless we've specifically said it's okay, or if the law expressly allows it, such as under a "fair use" or fair dealing" doctrine.

Although we license you permission to install on your device and play our Game and mod our Game, we are still the owners of it. We are also the owners of our brands and any content contained in the Game. Therefore, when you pay for our Game, you are buying a license to play / use our Game in accordance with this EULA - you are not buying the Game itself, even if you mod it substantially. The only permissions you have in connection with the Game and your installation of it are the permissions set out in this EULA.

Any Mods you create for the Game from scratch belong to you (including pre-run Mods and in-memory Mods) and you can do whatever you want with them, as long as you don't sell them for money / try to make money from them and so long as you don't distribute Modded Versions of the Game. Remember that a Mod means something that is your original work and that does not contain a substantial part of our code or content. You only own what you created; you do not own our code or content.

If you make any content available on or through our Game via Mods or otherwise, you agree to give us permission to use, copy, modify, adapt, distribute, and publicly display that content. This permission is irrevocable, and you also agree to let us permit other people to use, copy, modify, adapt, distribute, and publicly display your content. You are not giving up your ownership rights in your content, you are just giving us and other users permission to use it. For example, we may need to copy, reformat, and distribute content that you post on our website so others can read it. If you don't want to give us these permissions, do not make content available on or through our Game. Please think carefully before you make any content available, because it may be made public and might even be used by other people in a way you don't like.

If you are going to make something available on or through our Game, it must not be offensive to people or illegal, it must be honest, and it must be your own creation. Some examples of the types of things you must not make available using our Game include: mods that include racist or homophobic language; mods that are offensive or that damage our or another person's reputation; mods that include porn or someone else's creation or image; or mods that impersonate a Snapshot Games employee or try to trick or exploit people.

Any content you make available on our Game must also be your creation or you must have permission or the legal right to do it. You must not and you agree that you will not make any content available, using the Game that infringes the rights of others.

We reserve the right to take down any content in our discretion.

We might make upgrades, updates or patches (we'll call them all "updates") available from time to time, but we don't have to. We are also not obliged to provide ongoing support or maintenance of any Game. With updates come changes that might not work well with other software, such as Mods. This is unfortunate, but it is something we don't take responsibility for.

The terms of this EULA do not affect any legal (statutory) rights that you may have under the law that applies to you for the Game. You might have certain rights which the law that applies to you says cannot be excluded. Nothing we say in these terms will affect those legal rights, even if we say something which sounds like it contradicts your legal rights. That's what we mean when we say "subject to applicable law".

The laws of the country where you have your habitual residence govern this EULA and all disputes, including disputes relating to it, our Game, or our Website, regardless of conflict of laws principles.

Your local law may give you rights that this EULA cannot change; if so, this EULA applies as far as the law allows. Nothing in this license limits our liability for death or bodily injury resulting from our negligence or fraudulent misrepresentations.

We may change this EULA from time to time, if we have reason to, such as changes to our games, our practices, or our legal obligation. But those changes will be effective only to the extent that they can legally apply. In that case we'll inform you of the change before it takes effect, either by posting a notice on our Website or by other reasonable means.

If we want we can terminate this EULA if you breach any of the terms. You can terminate it too, at any time; all you have to do is uninstall the Game from your device and the EULA will be terminated. If the EULA is terminated, you will no longer have any of the rights to the Game given in this license. You do still have the right to things you have created yourself with the game of course. The paragraphs about "Ownership of Our Game", "Our Liability" and "General Stuff" will continue to apply even after the EULA is terminated.
