OPERATION PAY-PER-LOVE — End User License Agreement
Version: 1.0
Effective date: 09/18/2026
Publisher and licensor: THE HOKKAIDO HIDEOUT
Contact: hokkaido.hideout@gmail.com
1. Agreement and scope
This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is between you and THE HOKKAIDO HIDEOUT ("Publisher", "we", "us"). It governs your use of OPERATION PAY-PER-LOVE, including its executable software, supplied game content, documentation, updates, and any downloadable content or expansions that you lawfully obtain, including After Dark and Wild Hearts (together, the "Game"). It does not grant access to content you have not acquired.
Please read this Agreement before accepting it. By affirmatively accepting it, you agree to its terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Game; any purchase cancellation or refund remains governed by the applicable store terms and your statutory rights. Nothing here changes rights that applicable law does not allow you to waive.
2. License
Subject to this Agreement and any applicable platform entitlement, the Publisher grants you a limited, non-exclusive license to install and play the Game for personal, non-commercial entertainment. You may make copies reasonably necessary for installation and backup. Platform-authorized device access, sharing, and transfers remain subject to the platform's terms and applicable law. The Game is licensed, not sold, and no ownership of its intellectual property transfers to you.
3. Ownership and restrictions
The Publisher and its licensors retain their respective rights in the Game, including software, characters, artwork, music, dialogue, and trademarks, to the extent protected by law.
Except where applicable law or a separate applicable license permits, you must not redistribute, sell, rent, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Game or its extracted assets; remove ownership notices; circumvent access or entitlement controls; or reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble its software. This restriction does not prohibit activities that the law expressly permits despite contractual restrictions. Third-party or open-source license permissions are not restricted by this Agreement.
This Agreement does not create a separate policy for monetized gameplay videos, streaming, or fan works. Any express permission the Publisher separately grants for those activities continues to apply.
4. Eligibility and mature content
You must meet the age and eligibility requirements applicable to the Game, the platform, and your location. Content restricted to adults is available only to persons aged 18 or older, or the higher minimum age required by applicable law. Do not provide access to age-restricted content to persons who are not eligible to receive it.
Depending on the edition and enabled content, the Game may include adult relationships, sexual themes, exploitation, coercion, violence, blood, death, and suicide-related themes. Read the store disclosures and in-game notices before playing. Fictional events and dialogue are entertainment, not instructions, endorsements of harmful conduct, or professional advice. These notices do not waive your legal rights or release the Publisher from liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
5. System requirements, saves, and external changes
Check the published system requirements and maintain reasonable backups of saved games and other important data. Updates, incompatible modifications, third-party software, hardware faults, interrupted writes, or platform synchronization may affect operation or saved data. Backups reduce risk but are not a condition of exercising mandatory consumer remedies.
We are not responsible for loss to the extent it is caused by your unauthorized alterations, misuse, or third-party failures outside our reasonable control, except where we contributed to that loss or applicable law requires otherwise. No specific cloud-save feature, device compatibility beyond the published requirements, or perpetual online service is promised by this clause.
6. Stores, purchases, and third-party services
Your Steam account, platform services, purchases, and refunds are also governed by the Steam Subscriber Agreement, the applicable Steam Refund Policy, and mandatory law. This Agreement does not replace those terms, reduce applicable refund rights, or impose a separate restriction on requesting a refund through Steam. Other authorized stores may have their own applicable terms.
We do not control third-party platforms or services. Their availability and operation may affect features that depend on them. This does not relieve us of obligations we owe you under mandatory law or express product commitments.
7. Updates and support
We may provide updates for maintenance, security, compatibility, or improvements. We do not promise additional content, indefinite support, or compatibility with every future device or operating system, unless expressly stated or required by law. Any legally required updates, remedies, and notices remain available. Changes will not remove mandatory rights or retroactively extinguish an existing claim.
8. Limited warranty disclaimer
Subject to Section 10, and only to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Game is provided "as is" and "as available" without additional warranties, representations, or conditions, whether express, implied, or statutory. To that extent, we disclaim implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, satisfactory quality, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, absence of every defect, or compatibility with unsupported hardware, software, or modifications. This disclaimer does not override mandatory guarantees of quality, conformity, fitness, security, or other consumer protections, or an express promise that applicable law requires us to honor.
9. Limitation of liability
The limitations in this section apply only to liability arising from ordinary negligence or other conduct for which applicable law permits limitation. They do not apply to the matters listed in Section 10.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Publisher and its licensors are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from use of, or inability to use, the Game, including lost business profits, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity. Loss of data is excluded only to the extent such exclusion is lawful; this clause does not exclude a consumer's recoverable direct loss merely because it concerns saved games or other data.
Where a monetary cap is lawful, the total aggregate liability of the Publisher and its licensors under this Agreement is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid for the Game and its downloadable content, and (b) US$100 or its equivalent in the currency of your claim. This cap is not a limit on a refund or other mandatory remedy to which you are entitled. If applying it to a particular claim would be unlawful, the cap does not apply to that claim.
These limitations apply regardless of the form of claim, including contract or tort, only to the extent the applicable law permits them in that form of claim. They do not create a right for us to decide unilaterally whether we are liable or which remedies you may pursue.
10. Rights and liabilities that are not excluded
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded or limited. Nothing restricts a non-waivable consumer guarantee, right to a refund, repair, replacement, price reduction, termination, compensation, or access to a competent court or regulator.
If you are a consumer, mandatory protections applicable in your place of residence continue to apply despite any other provision of this Agreement. Sections 8, 9, and 11 must be read subject to this section. An ineffective exclusion or limitation is not a waiver of the underlying legal right.
11. Third-party components and Unreal Engine
The Game may include third-party components subject to their own notices and licenses. Those terms govern the relevant components to the extent required by their licenses; this Agreement does not remove rights they expressly grant.
For versions incorporating Unreal Engine, the Unreal Engine code and related Epic-provided technology included in the Game ("Licensed Technology") may be used only as an inseparable part of the Game, to the extent needed for permitted use of the Game. This Agreement grants no right to extract or incorporate that technology into another product or service.
Subject to Section 10 and applicable law, the Publisher, Epic Games, and their respective licensors disclaim representations, warranties, conditions, and liabilities relating to the Licensed Technology to the fullest extent legally permitted. No third-party disclaimer in this section removes any mandatory remedy against the Publisher. Applicable third-party notices remain in effect.
12. Termination
You may stop using the Game at any time. Subject to applicable law, the Publisher may terminate this license for a material breach of this Agreement after giving reasonable notice and an opportunity to remedy the breach, where it can be remedied. Immediate termination is permitted only where legally justified by the nature or seriousness of the breach.
After a valid termination, stop using the Game and remove copies under your control, except copies you are legally entitled to retain. Termination does not remove accrued claims, applicable refund rights, or mandatory remedies. Provisions concerning ownership, restrictions on asset redistribution, liability, and dispute resolution continue only to the extent legally applicable.
13. Governing law and disputes
This Agreement is governed by the laws of JAPAN, without depriving consumers of mandatory protections available under the law that would otherwise apply. Any dispute may be brought before a court having jurisdiction under applicable law. No exclusive foreign forum, mandatory arbitration, or waiver of collective remedies is imposed by this Agreement.
You may contact us at hokkaido.hideout@gmail.com to try to resolve an issue informally. Doing so is optional and does not shorten a limitation period, delay access to a court or regulator, or create a prerequisite to a remedy.
14. Changes, severability, and contact
Material changes to this Agreement will be communicated with reasonable advance notice, and affirmative acceptance will be requested when required by law. Changes do not operate retroactively on accrued rights or claims. Nothing here authorizes changes that applicable law prohibits.
If a provision is unenforceable, it will not apply to the extent of that unenforceability. The remaining provisions continue only where doing so is lawful and consistent with mandatory consumer protections.
