Welcome to Contemplation Games!
1. General:
1.1. This agreement is a contract between you and Contemplation Games, LLC. (here-inafter “Contemplation Games”), governing your use of Garden and a Goat.
1.2. For the purposes of this agreement, the term Garden and a Goat includes the soft-ware of the video game itself, all of its components (e.g., the source code) and content (e.g., graphical or musical content).
1.3. This agreement applies to Garden and a Goat and all of its future updates and ex-pansions, unless the expansion is governed by a separate agreement. If an expan-sion to Garden and a Goat is governed by a separate agreement, you will be explic-itly asked to agree to the separate agreement.
1.4. If you are a minor (below the legal age of majority in your country), please have the agreement reviewed and agreed to by your parent or legal guardian.
2. Application of a Distributor’s Terms and Conditions:
2.1. We generally use the services of a distributor to market Garden and a Goat. The distributor usually has its own terms and conditions governing your use of its ser-vices and the distribution of software via its services to you. If there is anything in the distributor’s terms and conditions that overlaps with the legal matters regulat-ed in this agreement, the distributor’s terms and conditions take precedence un-less they provide that this agreement between you and Contemplation Games ap-plies preferentially.
3. Health and Safety Warning:

We don’t take responsibility for any injury or damage caused by your actions while playing Garden and a Goat. Nothing in this clause will limit or exclude our li-ability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence in circumstances where such liability cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

5. Liability:
5.1. We grant you all the rights under this agreement to Garden and a Goat “as is” and “as available”. That means that, to the extent permissible by law, we do not grant you any guarantee that Garden and a Goat works without any bugs, glitches, or other issues. In as much as the applicable law permits, we don’t take any respon-sibility or liability for Garden and a Goat having any bugs, glitches, or other issues.
5.2. We warrant to you that we have the right to conclude this agreement with you and that we have the right to grant you the rights under this agreement (namely the li-cense to use Garden and a Goat).
6. Termination:
