[Last updated: September 3, 2026]

This End-User License Agreement (hereinafter “this EULA”) is an agreement between you and CanOpener and applies to the installation and use of Dungeon Settlers and the updates, patches, downloadable content, and related materials included in or provided with it (collectively, hereinafter the “Game”).

By installing, launching, or using the Game, you agree to this EULA. If you do not agree to this EULA, do not install or use the Game. Refund eligibility is subject to the policies of the platform from which you purchased the Game and applicable laws.




The separate Dungeon Settlers Terms of Service (hereinafter “ToS”) may also apply to the Game, the official websites, communities, and customer support operated by us, and related online services.

This EULA primarily governs matters concerning the installation, launching, use, modification, and distribution of the Game and Game content. The ToS govern matters concerning official communities, customer support, online services, user conduct, and other use of the services.

If this EULA and the ToS directly conflict regarding the use of the Game or Game content, this EULA takes precedence to the extent of that conflict. The ToS apply to other use of the services.


If you purchase, download, or use the Game through Steam or another third-party platform, that platform’s terms, policies, and rules also apply. Purchases, payments, refunds, platform accounts, and platform features are subject to that platform’s policies and applicable laws.

This EULA does not limit the rights guaranteed to you under applicable laws or the mandatory provisions of the platform from which you purchased the Game.




Subject to your compliance with this EULA, the ToS, and applicable platform rules, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license to install and use the Game for personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes.

Purchasing the Game does not mean acquiring ownership of the Game or its intellectual property rights, but rather acquiring permission to use the Game in accordance with this EULA.


Unless otherwise specified, purchasing the Game grants you permission to use Dungeon Settlers on the platform from which you purchased it. Updates that we provide free of charge for that product may be used subject to the conditions under which they are provided. However, the purchase of the Game does not automatically include sequels, separately sold expansion packs, paid downloadable content, versions for other platforms, or other separate products that may be released in the future.


Except where expressly permitted by this EULA or allowed under applicable laws, you must not engage in the following:

• Unauthorized copying, sale, redistribution, relicensing, rental, or making available to the public of the Game or paid content
  
• Enabling the Game to be used without a legitimate purchase
  
• Circumventing or attempting to circumvent license verification, copy protection, access restrictions, or platform security features
  
• Inserting or distributing malware, spyware, ransomware, or other harmful code into the Game or related systems
  
• Accessing without authorization, or interfering with, our or a third party’s systems, servers, accounts, or infrastructure
  
• Using Game content to create or distribute unauthorized ports, competing standalone games, or unauthorized commercial products
  
• Cheating, automation, exploitation of vulnerabilities, or interference that harms other users in online, competitive, or shared features

This provision does not prohibit personal single-player modifications and the creation of non-commercial mods permitted under Section 4.



The Game and related software, code, artwork, music, sounds, characters, names, trademarks, designs, documents, and other Game content are owned by CanOpener or the relevant licensors, unless otherwise indicated.

This EULA does not transfer ownership to you and grants only the limited permissions to use expressly set out herein. Rights not expressly granted are retained by CanOpener and the relevant rights holders.

Certain components of the Game may be subject to third-party licenses or intellectual property rights.




You may use settings, save files, utility tools, or non-commercial modifications to adjust your personal single-player experience. However, these activities must meet the following conditions:

• They must not distribute the Game or paid content without authorization
  
• They must not contain malware or harmful code
  
• They must not interfere with the normal operation of our systems or third-party platforms
  
• They must not circumvent copy protection, license verification, or platform security
  
• They must not harm, deceive, or interfere with other users
  
• They must comply with applicable laws and the rules of the platform used

You are responsible for your use of personal modifications, save editors, trainers, and third-party tools.


You may create and share non-commercial mods for Dungeon Settlers (hereinafter “Mods”) that meet the following conditions:

• They must require a legally obtained copy of the Game
  
• They must not include or redistribute the entire Game, paid expansion content, or a substantial portion of our proprietary assets in a form that can be used independently
  
• They must not contain malware, harmful code, or means of unauthorized access
  
• They must not infringe the rights of CanOpener or any third party
  
• They must not be presented as official products or as approved or sponsored by us without our written permission
  
• They must comply with applicable laws and the rules of the platforms on which the Mods are distributed

You represent and warrant that, for all materials included in the Mods you make public, submit, or distribute, you hold the rights and permissions necessary to use those materials and to grant the Mod License under this EULA.

If it is not clear from the context that a Mod is an unofficial community creation and confusion is possible, this must be indicated in a reasonable manner. There is no requirement to insert a notice with prescribed wording into every ordinary Mod.

However, if a Mod violates this EULA or applicable laws, infringes the rights of a third party, contains illegal, hateful, discriminatory, harassing, exploitative, obscene, or otherwise clearly harmful or inappropriate content, or gives rise to reasonable concern that it may cause substantial legal, security-related, social, or reputational harm to the Game, users, or CanOpener, we may withdraw permission to create, share, and distribute that Mod.


You retain the rights in the code, artwork, music, documents, and other original elements of Mods that you independently create. However, those rights do not extend to Dungeon Settlers, the Game assets provided by us, or the existing intellectual property rights of us or third parties.

If you make a Mod public or upload, submit, or distribute it through a distribution platform, you grant CanOpener a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, convert, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and create derivative works from that Mod to the extent necessary for the following purposes (hereinafter the “Mod License”):

• Hosting, storing, supporting the installation of, and distributing Mods to users
  
• Reviewing, testing, and conducting security checks on Mods, and checking compliance with laws, platform rules, and this EULA
  
• Ensuring compatibility between the Game and Mods, and providing development and technical support for that purpose
  
• Introducing and promoting the Game and Mods through Mod names, descriptions, screenshots, gameplay videos, and materials incidentally included therein

We may transfer or sublicense the Mod License to our affiliates, successors, acquirers of the relevant business, publishers, development partners, and platform operators to the extent necessary for the above purposes. The restrictions under this provision apply equally to them.

However, if we or any person authorized under the Mod License intend to incorporate a modder’s original code, artwork, images, models, animations, music, sounds, translations, or other identifiable creative works, either in their original form or as modified or adapted, as constituent elements of the official Game, updates, expansion content, or separate products or services themselves, separate prior permission must be obtained from the relevant rights holder. Distributing, supporting, or introducing the Mod itself for the above purposes does not constitute such incorporation into official content. This prior permission requirement does not apply to independent development that does not copy specific code or creative expression, and Section 4.4 applies to such development.

The Mod License does not restrict your ownership or reuse of your original elements. However, your use must also not infringe our or any third party’s existing intellectual property rights. The Mod License already granted remains in effect even if you delete the Mod or discontinue its distribution. The scope, duration, and other conditions of use of creative works incorporated into official content with separate permission are governed by the terms of that permission or agreement.

We are not obligated to provide separate compensation or obtain additional permission for uses within the scope of the Mod License. Where reasonably practicable and appropriate to the manner of use, we will endeavor to display the creator’s display name or the Mod’s name. Whether compensation is provided, attribution requirements, and other conditions for uses requiring separate prior permission are governed by the terms agreed with the relevant rights holder.

To the extent permitted by applicable laws, you agree not to exercise moral rights or similar rights in relation to the use, modification, or adaptation of Mods by us and persons authorized under the Mod License in the manner permitted by this provision. This does not apply to uses not permitted by this provision or to rights whose waiver or non-exercise is not permitted under applicable laws, and does not replace the separate prior permission required for incorporation into official content.


Game features, rules, systems, general concepts, or ideas may be similar to content proposed by others or implemented in Mods. We may have been developing similar features before a Mod was made public, may independently develop identical or similar ideas, or may receive similar suggestions from other users.

The mere fact that an official update or content is similar to a Mod, suggestion, or community discussion does not mean that we have copied the specific creative works in that Mod or that an obligation to provide compensation arises. However, this provision does not extinguish the copyright or other legal rights held by Mod creators.

You may not restrict our independent development, distribution, or sale, or claim compensation, solely on the basis of ideas, game rules, systems, methods, procedures, concepts, genre conventions, or mere functional similarity. This provision does not exempt us from liability where we have actually copied specific code, artwork, music, text, or other creative expression protected under applicable laws.


Without our prior written permission, you must not engage in the following:

• Selling Mods or placing access to a specific Mod behind a mandatory payment
  
• Selling Mods bundled with paid products
  
• Otherwise commercially exploiting our Game or intellectual property

However, you may accept voluntary donations or general community support for your creative activities as a whole if the following conditions are met:

• Use of a specific Dungeon Settlers Mod must not be conditional on payment
  
• Donations must not be presented as official purchases from or payments to CanOpener
  
• Users must not be misled or subjected to undue pressure

Unless we expressly identify them as official products, Mods and third-party tools are not official CanOpener products. We do not guarantee the safety, compatibility, continued operation, or compatibility with future updates of such Mods or tools.

We may limit technical support for issues caused by modified Game files, Mods, or third-party tools.


If we provide official modding support, we may publish a separate modding policy. A separate policy may establish additional matters concerning Mod distribution platforms, technical specifications, and operations, but will not retroactively deprive you of rights that have already arisen before its publication in violation of applicable laws.


If a Mod violates this EULA, applicable laws, or the rules of a distribution platform, we may withdraw permission for that Mod, restrict it, make it non-public, or remove it from official distribution spaces that we are authorized to manage, request necessary action from the relevant platform operator, or request corrective action from the creator.

We may take immediate action without prior notice where necessary to respond to malware, security threats, piracy, serious infringement of rights, or potential harm to users. In other cases, we will endeavor, to the extent reasonably practicable, to provide information about the violation and the corrective action required.

Withdrawal of permission to distribute a specific Mod does not, by itself, terminate a user’s legitimately purchased Game license. Termination of the Game license is subject to the requirements of Section 8.


You are responsible for the Mods you create, make public, submit, or distribute and the materials included in those Mods.

To the extent permitted by applicable laws, if third-party claims, losses, or costs are directly incurred by CanOpener and its affiliates, officers, employees, or contractors as a result of your intentional or negligent breach of this EULA, or a Mod that infringes a third party’s copyright, trademark rights, rights relating to personal information, rights of publicity, or other rights, you must compensate them to the extent of your fault.

If a relevant claim is brought, we may notify you to the extent reasonably practicable and request the cooperation necessary to respond. This provision must not be interpreted as restricting your rights that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable laws or as making you responsible for losses for which you are not at fault.




You may create and share fan art, screenshots, commentary, reviews, guides, gameplay videos, live broadcasts, and other original content related to Dungeon Settlers, provided that you comply with this EULA.

Your content does not need to evaluate CanOpener or Dungeon Settlers positively. Honest criticism, commentary, and negative reviews are permitted.


You may monetize gameplay videos, live broadcasts, reviews, and related editorial content through ordinary means such as the following:

• Platform advertising revenue
  
• Channel subscriptions
  
• Viewer donations
  
• Sponsorships
  
• Affiliate links

This does not permit the sale of our Game assets, music, artwork, or other proprietary materials as standalone products or asset collections.


You may use Game footage, screenshots, and incidentally included in-game music and artwork as part of legitimate gameplay videos, reviews, guides, commentary, or other transformative content.

Without our permission, you must not extract music, artwork, character models, source materials, or other Game assets and distribute them as standalone products or asset collections.


Fan content, Mods, videos, or other community creations must not be falsely presented as created, approved, sponsored, or officially endorsed by us.

Where confusion can reasonably be expected, you must indicate that the content is unofficial. However, no notice in a prescribed format is required for ordinary gameplay videos, reviews, or social media posts where their unofficial nature is clear.


If we provide preview builds, review keys, unreleased content, or materials subject to separately communicated embargo or confidentiality conditions, those conditions apply to the relevant materials.

After an embargo ends, you may publish honest opinions, including criticism, unless otherwise provided in a separate lawful agreement.


You retain the rights in the original elements of fan content that you independently create. This EULA does not, merely because you have created fan content, grant CanOpener blanket permission to use, modify, sell, or sublicense the entirety of that content to third parties free of charge and in perpetuity.

If we wish to share, repost, or quote portions of fan content that you have made public in order to feature it on our official channels, we may use the sharing features provided by the relevant platform or act within the scope permitted by applicable laws. For uses beyond this in advertising materials, products, or directly within the official Game, we will obtain separate permission where necessary.




We welcome suggestions, bug reports, gameplay experiences, balance feedback, and other ideas concerning Dungeon Settlers.

If you voluntarily provide general feedback or ideas, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, and royalty-free license to use, review, test, modify, apply, and incorporate them into our products and services. We are not obligated to compensate or credit you for such general feedback or ideas. This license does not restrict you from using the same ideas elsewhere.

For the purposes of this provision, general feedback or ideas mean feature suggestions, game rules, balance feedback, system concepts, proposed approaches to resolving bugs, and similar opinions. They do not include completed source code, artwork, music, translation files, or other identifiable substantive creative works.


General ideas or opinions are distinct from completed artwork, translation files, music, source code, or other identifiable creative works. If we wish to directly incorporate such creative works into official products, we will obtain the necessary permission or enter into a separate agreement.

Testing, translation, consultation, artwork, programming, or other contributions do not, by themselves, create an employment relationship, an obligation to pay remuneration, an entitlement to royalties, ownership, or rights to future revenue. Paid work or revenue sharing must be agreed upon in writing before the relevant work begins. However, where applicable laws provide otherwise, those laws will apply.

Do not send materials that you wish to keep confidential or for which you expect compensation unless we have requested them and agreed to the conditions in advance.




Dungeon Settlers may be provided in Early Access or another stage of ongoing development. The Game may contain bugs, unfinished features, balance issues, technical limitations, or content that changes in the future.

You should decide whether to purchase the Game based on the version and features actually provided at the time of purchase, rather than features that may be added in the future.


We may provide information on development plans, roadmaps, planned features, and estimated schedules, but development plans may change. Unless otherwise required by applicable laws or a separate written agreement, information concerning future content, features, updates, release schedules, supported platforms, translations, modding support, or improvements does not guarantee that they will be provided.

We may determine the direction, scope, schedule, and duration of development.


Updates may modify, replace, or remove existing features or content, or change the balance of the Game. They may also affect compatibility with save files, settings, Mods, or third-party tools, or performance on specific hardware.

Where reasonably practicable, we will endeavor to communicate through official channels changes that may have a significant impact on players, such as known save compatibility issues.

We are not obligated to continuously provide the Game or updates, add a specific amount of content, or fix all errors. However, this provision does not limit consumer rights guaranteed under applicable laws.




If you materially breach this EULA, such as through unauthorized distribution, piracy, security breaches, distribution of malware, or other serious misuse of our intellectual property, we may restrict or terminate the rights granted under this EULA to the extent permitted by applicable laws.

We will not terminate your Game license solely because of a negative review of the Game, a difference of opinion with us, or ordinary criticism. A violation of official community rules may constitute grounds for action concerning the relevant community or online features operated by us, but does not, by itself, constitute grounds for terminating your permission to use the purchased Game offline. However, this does not apply where the conduct also independently constitutes a material breach of this EULA.


Where reasonably practicable, we may first consider measures proportionate to the nature and seriousness of the violation, such as warnings, restrictions on specific online features, or requests to remove violating content. However, we may take immediate action in cases involving illegal conduct, security threats, malware, serious infringement of rights, or substantial harm to other users.

We do not claim the right to independently suspend or terminate Steam accounts or other third-party platform accounts. Platform-level actions are subject to the policies and procedures of the relevant platform.


You may uninstall the Game and discontinue its use at any time. Rights and obligations that have already arisen before you discontinue use or this EULA is terminated, and provisions concerning ownership, limitations of liability, dispute resolution, and general terms that by their nature should survive termination, continue to apply.




To the extent permitted by applicable laws, the Game is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee that the Game will always operate without interruption, be free of errors, be compatible with all devices, Mods, or third-party tools, or have all technical limitations resolved.


To the extent permitted by applicable laws, we are not responsible for issues caused by unofficial Mods, unauthorized third-party tools, user-created content, or services operated by third parties. We do not guarantee continued compatibility between the Game and unofficial modifications or external software.


To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, CanOpener is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of the Game, including lost profits, loss of business opportunities, or business interruption.

Where liability cannot be excluded entirely, our total liability in connection with the Game will not exceed the amount you paid for the relevant copy of the Game. However, where applicable laws require otherwise, those laws will apply.


Nothing in this EULA limits or excludes liability for fraud, intentional unlawful conduct, or liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable laws. This EULA also does not restrict rights or remedies that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable consumer protection laws.



We may amend this EULA where reasonably necessary to reflect changes in laws, the Game, development methods, or platform requirements.

If there are material changes, we will publish the revised version and, where reasonably practicable, provide notice through appropriate official channels. The revised EULA will apply from the effective date indicated in the revised version, in accordance with applicable laws.

Changes to this EULA will not retroactively deprive you of rights you have already acquired under applicable laws. If you do not agree to an amendment, you may discontinue use of the Game, and refund eligibility will be subject to applicable laws and the policies of the platform from which you purchased the Game.




If you have a dispute or concern relating to this EULA or the Game, please first contact us at http://mailto:tunacan@canopenerstudio.net. We will make reasonable efforts to reach an amicable resolution.


This EULA is governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. However, if the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence grant you additional rights, those rights remain unaffected.


To the extent permitted by applicable laws, disputes relating to this EULA will be resolved in the competent courts of the Republic of Korea. If applicable consumer protection laws grant you the right to bring a claim in another jurisdiction, this provision does not limit that right.




We may assign our rights and obligations under this EULA in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, business transfer, or similar transaction. Even in such cases, the rights you hold under applicable laws will not be reduced.

You may not assign your rights or obligations under this EULA to another person without our prior written consent. However, where applicable laws or the mandatory provisions of the platform from which you purchased the Game permit otherwise, those provisions will apply.


Even if any provision of this EULA is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by applicable laws.


The mere fact that we have not enforced a provision of this EULA in a particular situation will not be deemed a permanent waiver of our right to enforce that provision in the future.


This EULA, the ToS, expressly applicable separate policies, and the relevant platform terms constitute the agreement concerning your use of the Game and related services within their respective scopes of application.
