<|> (aka ARCHITECT)END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
In order to protect <|>(my "Game") and the members of the community, we need these end user license terms to set out some rules for downloading and using my Game. This license is a legal agreement between you and me (Aleph Null Ltd.) and describes the terms and conditions for using the Game. If you break these rules we may stop you from using my Game.
If you buy, download, use or play my Game, you are agreeing to stick to the rules of these end user license agreement ("EULA") terms. If you don't want to or can't agree to these rules, then you must not buy, download, use or play my Game. By agreeing to this EULA you also agree to all of the terms of the foregoing documents, so please read through them carefully.
The Main Thing
The one major rule is that you must not distribute anything I've made unless I specifically agree to it. By "distribute anything I've made" what we mean is:
give copies of my Game to anyone else;
make commercial use of anything I've made;
try to make money from anything I've made; or
let other people get access to anything I've made in a way that is unfair or unreasonable;
unless I specifically agree to it. And so that we are crystal clear, "the Game" or "what I have made" includes, but is not limited to, the client for my Game and includes <|> 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 I've made.
Otherwise I am quite relaxed about what you do - in fact I really encourage you to do cool stuff - but just don't do those things that we say you can't.
Things you've made include screenshots of the game and aesthetically pleasing arrangements you have produced while playing my Game
USING MY GAME
You have been granted a license to the Game so you can play and use it, yourself, on your devices.
Below I also give you limited rights to do other things but I have to draw a line somewhere or else people will go too far. If you wish to make something pertaining to anything I've made we're humbled, but please make sure that it can't be interpreted as being official and that it complies with this EULA and the brand and asset usage guidelines and above all do not make commercial use of anything I've made.
The license and permission I give you to use and play my Game can be revoked if you break any of the terms of this EULA.
When you buy my Game, you receive a license that gives you permission to install the Game on your own personal device and use and play it on that device as set out in this EULA. This permission is personal to you, so you are not allowed to distribute the Game (or any part of it) to anyone else. This also means you cannot sell or rent the Game, or make it available for access to other people and you cannot pass on or resell any license keys. Giving this game as a gift through Steam is allowed. This is important to help us stop piracy and fraud and to protect our Game. It is also important to prevent members of our community from buying pirated versions of our Game or fraudulent license keys - which we may cancel, such as in the case of fraud.
If you've bought the Game, you may play around with it and modify it by adding modifications, tools, or plugins, which I will refer to collectively as "Mods." By "Mods," I 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 <|> software, we will call that combination a "Modded Version" of the Game. I 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. 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. By "within reason" I mean that you can't make any commercial use of them or do things that are unfair or adversely affect my rights unless I've specifically said it's okay in this EULA, allowed it through the Brand and Asset Usage Guidelines, 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 no fun.
Essentially the simple rule is do not make commercial use of anything I've made unless I've specifically said it's okay. Oh and if the law expressly allows it, such as under a "fair use" or fair dealing" doctrine then that's ok too - but only to the extent that the law applicable to you says so.
In order to ensure the integrity of the Game, I need all Game downloads and updates to come from an authorized source.
OWNERSHIP OF MY GAME AND OTHER THINGS
Although I license you permission to install on your device and play our Game, I am still the owner of it. I am also the owner of my brands and any content contained in the Game. Therefore, when you pay for my Game, you are buying a license to play / use my Game in accordance with this EULA - you are not buying the Game itself. 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 my code or content.
CONTENT
If you make any content available on or through my Game, you agree to give me permission to use, copy, modify, adapt, distribute, and publicly display that content. This permission is irrevocable, and you also agree to let me 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 me and other users permission to use it. For example, I may need to copy, reformat, and distribute content that you post so others can read it. If you don't want to give us these permissions, do not make content available on or through my 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 my 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 my Game include: posts that include racist or homophobic language; posts that are bullying; posts that are offensive or that damage my or another person's reputation; posts that include someone else's creation or image; or posts that impersonate a moderator or try to trick or exploit people.
Any content you make available on my 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. '
I reserve the right to take down any content in my discretion.
UPDATES
I might make upgrades, updates or patches (I call them all "updates") available from time to time, but I don't have to. I am also not obliged to provide ongoing support or maintenance of any Game. Of course, I hope to continue to release new updates for my Game, I just can't guarantee that I will do so. With updates come changes that might not work well with other software, such as Mods. This is unfortunate, but it is something I don’t take responsibility for. If that is the case, try running an older version.
MY LIABILITY, GOVERNING LAW, AND PLACE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES
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 I say in these terms will affect those legal rights, even if I say something which sounds like it contradicts your legal rights. That’s what I mean when I say “subject to applicable law”.
SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, When you get a copy of our Game, I provide it "'as is"'. Updates are also provided "'as is"'. This means that I are not making any promises to you about the standard or quality of our Game, or that our Game will be uninterrupted or error free. I am not responsible for any loss or damage that it may cause. You bear the entire risk as to its quality and performance. You have to accept that I may release games well before they are complete and so they may (and often will) have bugs -but I prefer to release these features early than make you wait for perfection. If you would like to notify us about a potential bug, please reach out to me.
TERMINATION
If I want I 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 Arbitration Agreement (if you live in the United States) and the paragraphs about "Ownership of My Game", "Our Liability" and "General Stuff" will continue to apply even after the EULA is terminated.
GENERAL STUFF
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.
I may change this EULA from time to time, if I have reason to, such as changes to my games, my practices, or my legal obligation. But those changes will be effective only to the extent that they can legally apply. In that case I'll inform you of the change before it takes effect by reasonable means. I'm not going to be unfair about this though - but sometimes the law changes or someone does something that affects other users of the Game and I therefore need to put a lid on it.
If you come to me with a suggestion for any of my content, that suggestion is made for free and I have no obligation to accept or consider it. This means I can use or not use your suggestion in any way I want and I don't have to pay you for it. If you think you have a suggestion that I would be willing to pay you for, please do not submit your suggestion unless you have first told us you expect to be paid and I have responded in writing by asking you to submit the suggestion.
