All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by the Company.
### 3. RESTRICTIONS
You agree not to:

(b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract the source code, assets, or proprietary data of the Game, except where such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law;

### 4. MODIFICATIONS AND PLAYER-CREATED MODS
The Company does not officially support modifications ("mods") to the Game. However, we do not prohibit players from creating or using mods at their own discretion. Any modifications you create or install are done entirely at your own risk.
You retain ownership of any original creative content in mods you create, provided that such content does not incorporate or directly copy our copyrighted assets beyond what is necessary to interface with the Game. The Company provides no support, warranty, or guarantee of compatibility for modified versions of the Game and is not responsible for any damage, data loss, instability, or issues arising from the use of mods. Game updates may unintentionally break mod compatibility, and we are under no obligation to maintain compatibility with third-party modifications.
### 5. GAMEPLAY VIDEOS AND STREAMING
We grant you permission to capture, record, stream, and publish non-commercial and ad-supported gameplay footage of the Game, including screenshots, clips, livestreams, and "Let's Play" content, on platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and similar services. You retain ownership of the original creative elements you contribute (your commentary, editing, performance), while the underlying Game assets remain our property under the limited license described in this Section.
This permission is granted without the need for a separate license, provided that:
(a) you do not falsely claim sponsorship, partnership, or endorsement by Titan Ventures Media LLC;
(b) you do not use such content to disparage, defame, or knowingly misrepresent the Game or the Company; and
(c) you do not use Game assets, audio, or footage to train or fine-tune artificial intelligence or machine learning models (see Section 10).
For commercial uses beyond ad-supported video monetization (for example, paid sponsorships built specifically around the Game, merchandise, or licensed productions), please contact us at the address in Section 21.
### 6. ONLINE FEATURES AND STEAM INTEGRATION
The Game is distributed through Steam and utilizes Steam's services for distribution, authentication, multiplayer networking, and optional features. Your use of Steam is governed by Valve Corporation's Steam Subscriber Agreement and Privacy Policy, which you must accept separately.
We do not operate dedicated game servers. Multiplayer functionality, where available, relies on Steam's peer-to-peer networking infrastructure. We do not directly collect Steam account information, payment information, or personal identifiers from you; any such data collection is handled by Steam according to their own policies.
Online features, including multiplayer sessions, may display your Steam username to other players.
### 7. MULTIPLAYER AND PLAYER CONDUCT
When using the Game's multiplayer features, you agree to behave in a manner consistent with applicable law and ordinary standards of decency. You agree not to harass, threaten, stalk, dox, or knowingly harm other players, and not to use cheats, exploits, or unauthorized tools to gain an advantage over other players.
We do not actively moderate, monitor, or mediate disputes between players in multiplayer sessions, and we are not responsible for the conduct of other players. We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to remove access to multiplayer features for players who engage in serious misconduct.
### 8. EARLY ACCESS
The Game may be offered in Early Access prior to its full release. Early Access versions are provided "as is" and may contain bugs, incomplete features, balance issues, or content that differs from the final release. By purchasing an Early Access version, you acknowledge that you are supporting ongoing development and that the Game may change significantly before full release. Features advertised or discussed during Early Access are subject to change and are not guaranteed to appear in the final product.
### 9. CONTENT WARNING
The Game contains violence against fictional creatures, Lovecraftian horror themes, and may contain strong language. Intended for teen and adult players. Parental discretion is advised.
### 10. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING RESTRICTIONS
You agree not to use the Game, its code, assets, art, audio, gameplay footage, console output, or any other content derived from the Game to train, fine-tune, develop, evaluate, or improve any artificial intelligence, machine learning model, generative model, or similar system, without our prior express written consent. This restriction applies to use of Game content as training data, reference material, or evaluation data, regardless of whether the resulting model is intended for commercial use.
### 11. TELEMETRY AND DATA COLLECTION
To support debugging, performance optimization, stability improvements, and game balancing, the Game may collect limited technical diagnostic information, including system hardware specifications, operating system version, graphics driver and renderer information, performance metrics, anonymous gameplay event data, and the contents of the Game's own console log output. This information is collected solely for development purposes and is not used for advertising, sold, or shared with third parties for marketing. Telemetry can be turned off at any time in the Game's Settings menu.
Full details regarding what is collected, how it is used, how long it is retained, and your rights in connection with this data are described in the **Backyard Bayou Privacy Policy**, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference and available alongside it.
