Version 2. Last updated 17 July 2026.

Copyright 2026 Strike Wings Games. All rights reserved.

This End User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a binding legal agreement between you ("you" or "your") and Strike Wings Games, a sole proprietorship established in the Netherlands ("we", "us", "our", or the "Licensor"). It governs your access to and use of the video game Strike Wings, together with its software, executable code, data, artwork, audio, music, text, fiction, updates, patches, and any accompanying materials (together, the "Game").

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. By installing, copying, accessing, or playing the Game, or by selecting "ACCEPT" on the in-game prompt, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install, access, or play the Game, and select "DECLINE".

You must be at least the age of digital majority in your country of residence, and in any event at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required by the Steam Subscriber Agreement, whichever is higher), to accept this Agreement and use the Game. If you are a minor, you may use the Game only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by this Agreement on your behalf. By using the Game you represent that you meet these requirements and are not barred from using the Game under any applicable law.

The Game is licensed to you, not sold. Subject to your continued compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and play one copy of the Game for your own private, non-commercial entertainment, on devices that you own or control, through a validly licensed and authorized copy obtained via Steam. All rights not expressly granted to you under this Agreement are reserved by us and our licensors.

Except only to the extent that applicable mandatory law expressly permits despite this restriction, you agree that you will not, and will not permit or enable any third party to:

• copy (other than a single backup copy for personal archival use where the law allows), reproduce, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, broadcast, rent, lease, lend, sell, resell, sublicense, assign, or otherwise transfer or make the Game available to any third party;
  
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, derive source code from, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Game, in whole or in part;
  
• circumvent, disable, remove, or interfere with any security, digital rights management, anti-cheat, authentication, or technical protection measure in or applied to the Game;
  
• remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice, mark, or legend in the Game;
  
• create, use, distribute, or promote any cheat, trainer, bot, macro, hack, exploit, automation, or unauthorized third-party software or hardware that interacts with the Game, or operate, host, or connect to any unauthorized server that emulates or reproduces the Game or its services;
  
• use the Game, or any data, output, or assets derived from it, for any commercial purpose, or to develop, train, or improve any machine-learning model, artificial-intelligence system, or dataset;
  
• use the Game in any manner that violates any applicable law or regulation, or that infringes or misappropriates the rights of any third party.

The Game, and all copies and parts of it, including all software, source and object code, artwork, models, animations, user interfaces, audio, music, sound effects, characters, names, story, fiction, world, trade names, trademarks, logos, and all other content and design, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws and treaties. This Agreement grants you a license only and does not transfer to you any title to, or ownership interest in, the Game or any intellectual property rights. "Strike Wings" and the Strike Wings logo are marks of the Licensor.

The Game incorporates third-party and open-source software components that remain subject to their own license terms, including without limitation the SDL2 and SDL2_mixer libraries, the nlohmann/json library, and the Steamworks SDK. Those components are provided under and governed by their respective licenses, and nothing in this Agreement limits your rights or our obligations under those licenses to the extent they apply. Applicable third-party notices are made available with the Game or on request.

We may, but are not obligated to, provide updates, patches, hotfixes, new versions, and additional content for the Game, and these form part of the "Game" and are subject to this Agreement. You acknowledge that the Game may update automatically through Steam. We reserve the right, at any time and without liability to you, to modify, balance, add, remove, suspend, or discontinue any feature, mode, content, item, or service of the Game, in whole or in part, including any online functionality.

The Game may include virtual items, currencies, pilot ranks, unlockable content, cosmetic plates, progression, statistics, leaderboards, and similar in-game elements (together, "Virtual Items"). Virtual Items are licensed, not sold, form part of the Game, and have no monetary value. You have no ownership or property right in any Virtual Item and no right to any refund or to any real-world exchange, transfer, or cash value for them. We may manage, regulate, modify, reset, remove, or eliminate any Virtual Item at any time, including as part of balancing or of discontinuing the Game or a feature, and we are not liable to you for doing so.

The Game may allow you to create, upload, transmit, or display content, including pilot names, chosen text, typed and quick-chat messages, voice audio, and custom battle files or scenarios ("User Content"). You are solely responsible for your User Content, and you represent and warrant that you own or have all rights necessary to it and that it does not violate this Agreement, any law, or any third party's rights. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, distribute, adapt, publicly display, and otherwise use your User Content for the purpose of operating, providing, and improving the Game, including transmitting it to other players in your session. If you send us suggestions, ideas, or other feedback about the Game ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use and exploit that Feedback for any purpose, without any obligation or compensation to you.

The Game includes online and local-network multiplayer with player-to-player text chat, quick chat, and proximity voice chat. When you play online:

• your chosen pilot name, in-game actions, chat text, and voice audio are transmitted to, and may be received, heard, and recorded by, other players in your session, and you consent to this transmission;
  
• you agree not to harass, threaten, defame, stalk, or abuse others; not to transmit unlawful, hateful, obscene, or infringing content; not to impersonate any person; not to cheat, exploit, or use unauthorized software; and not to disrupt sessions or other players' use of the Game;
  
• we may, at our discretion and without notice, moderate content and restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to online features for conduct that violates this Agreement.

Online features rely on Steam and on other players, are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and may be changed, limited, interrupted, or discontinued at any time. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the conduct of other players or how they use communications you transmit.

To provide the Game and its features, limited data is processed, including career statistics, achievements, cloud-saved progress, skill ratings, and settings stored through your Steam account and Steam Cloud, and in-session communications (name, chat, and voice) relayed between players. This processing is carried out in connection with operating the Game and, where the Game is distributed and operated through Steam, is also subject to Valve Corporation's privacy policy and the Steam Subscriber Agreement. Where applicable data-protection law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation, applies, you may contact us at the address in the Contact section to exercise your rights.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE GAME IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THAT EXTENT, WE AND OUR LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE GAME WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT IT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE GAME IS FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS OR OF ANY LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or conditions, so some or all of the above exclusions may not apply to you. Nothing in this Agreement affects statutory or mandatory consumer rights or legal guarantees that cannot be excluded or limited under the law applicable to you.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

• in no event will we or our licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or use, or for business interruption, however caused and under any theory of liability, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Game, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages; and
  
• our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Game will not exceed the total amount you actually paid to acquire your license to the Game.

The exclusions and limitations in this Agreement apply to the fullest extent permitted by law and do not exclude or limit any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including, where applicable, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for intent or gross negligence, or under mandatory product-liability or consumer-protection law. Where liability cannot be excluded but can be limited, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted. Because some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, some of the above may not apply to you.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Licensor and its owner, licensors, and suppliers from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of this Agreement; (b) your User Content; (c) your use or misuse of the Game; or (d) your violation of any law or of any right of any third party. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with us. This section does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own intent or gross negligence, or where the law does not permit such indemnification by a consumer.

A very small percentage of people may experience seizures, blackouts, or other symptoms when exposed to certain flashing lights or patterns, including patterns that may appear in video games, even with no history of epilepsy or seizures. If you or anyone in your household has an epileptic condition or has previously had seizures, consult a physician before playing. IMMEDIATELY STOP PLAYING AND CONSULT A PHYSICIAN if, while playing, you experience any of the following: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, involuntary movement, or convulsions. To reduce the risk of discomfort or injury, play in a well-lit room, sit a suitable distance from the screen, and take regular breaks.

The Game is distributed and operated through the Steam platform operated by Valve Corporation. Your download and use of the Game, and of Steam features such as cloud saves, statistics, achievements, leaderboards, lobbies, matchmaking, and networking, are additionally governed by the Steam Subscriber Agreement and Valve's privacy policy, which you must also accept. We do not own or operate Steam and are not responsible for Steam or for any act or omission of Valve.

You represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country or territory subject to comprehensive government or trade sanctions, and that you are not on any government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws and not to use, export, or re-export the Game in violation of them.

This Agreement is effective until terminated. It will terminate automatically, without notice, if you fail to comply with any of its terms. You may terminate it at any time by permanently deleting and uninstalling the Game and ceasing all use of it. We may suspend or terminate this Agreement, or your access to online features, if you breach this Agreement or if we discontinue the Game. On termination, the license granted to you ends and you must stop using and must destroy all copies of the Game in your control. Termination does not entitle you to any refund. Sections 3 to 5 and 7 to 21, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive, survive termination.

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance, or for any interruption of the Game, caused by events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, failures of the internet, hosting, or telecommunications, failures of third-party services (including Steam), power failures, or governmental action.

You may not assign or transfer this Agreement, or any of your rights or obligations under it, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent, and any attempt to do so is void. We may freely assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

This Agreement, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or the Game (including non-contractual disputes or claims), are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The courts of the Netherlands have jurisdiction over any such dispute, except where mandatory law provides otherwise. If you are a consumer, mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence that cannot be derogated from by agreement remain unaffected by this choice of law.

• Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Steam Subscriber Agreement and any other terms expressly referenced here, is the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Game and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings on that subject.
  
• Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
  
• No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision or of our right to enforce it later.
  
• No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for our licensors and suppliers, who are intended beneficiaries of the disclaimers, limitations, and indemnity in this Agreement, this Agreement creates no third-party beneficiary rights.
  
• Changes to this Agreement. We may revise this Agreement for future versions or updates of the Game. Material changes will be presented for your acceptance in-game before you continue playing the updated Game, and your continued use after acceptance constitutes agreement to the revised terms.
  
• Language. This Agreement is provided in English. Any translation is provided for convenience only, and in case of conflict the English version prevails to the extent permitted by law.
