- Licensor legal name: Caleb Javanmardi
- Governing law: Texas, United States of America
- Venue: Tarrant County, Texas
- Support contact: Caleb Javanmardi
1. LIMITED LICENSE
Subject to this Agreement and any applicable platform terms, Licensor grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use one legally acquired copy of the Game for your personal, non-commercial entertainment use.
The Game is licensed, not sold. You do not acquire ownership of the Game, its code, art, design, interface, text, simulated companies, names, data structures, audio, logos, trademarks, or other content, except for rights expressly granted in this Agreement.
2. PLATFORM TERMS
If you obtain the Game through Steam or another store, launcher, subscription service, console marketplace, or distribution platform, your use of that platform is also governed by that platform's terms, rules, account requirements, refund policies, and privacy policies. Platform terms control platform-specific matters such as account access, payment processing, refunds, achievements, cloud saves, and platform services.
3. OWNERSHIP AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Licensor and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Game and all related intellectual property. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved.
Third-party software, libraries, and other materials included with the Game may be subject to separate notices or license terms. Current third-party notices are available in docs/THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md or any replacement notice file distributed with the Game.
4. RESTRICTIONS
Except as permitted by applicable law or expressly authorized by Licensor in writing, you may not:
a. copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the Game or any part of it;
b. use the Game or any Game assets for commercial purposes, including in paid services, commercial training, advertising, merchandising, or competing products;
c. reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, derive source code from, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works from the Game;
d. remove, disable, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, license, warning, or proprietary notice;
e. use cheats, hacks, bots, scripts, automation, exploits, unauthorized mods, memory editors, or third-party tools to modify or interfere with the Game or any platform service;
f. use the Game to violate any law, regulation, platform rule, third-party right, or contractual obligation;
g. upload, distribute, or introduce malware, harmful code, or content that interferes with the Game, other users, or platform services;
h. use the Game, Game assets, or output from the Game to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or supply a machine learning or artificial intelligence system without Licensor's written permission; or
i. misrepresent that you are affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Licensor.
5. SIMULATION ONLY; NO FINANCIAL ADVICE
Beat the Machine is a fictional sandbox business and stock market simulation. The Game is for entertainment and educational simulation purposes only. It is not financial, investment, legal, tax, accounting, employment, governance, or business advice.
The Game's prices, companies, securities, markets, events, forecasts, risk models, executive decisions, takeovers, earnings, macroeconomic conditions, and other simulation outputs are fictional or simulated. They should not be relied on for real-world investing, trading, employment, corporate governance, tax planning, or business decisions. You are solely responsible for any real-world decisions you make outside the Game.
6. SAVES, SETTINGS, AND LOCAL DATA
The Game may create local save files, settings, logs, preferences, or other gameplay data on your device. If platform features are added later, the Game may also interact with platform-provided services such as cloud saves or achievements.
Licensor does not guarantee that save files, settings, achievements, cloud data, or other gameplay records will always be available, error-free, compatible between versions, or recoverable after deletion, corruption, update, hardware failure, account changes, or platform service changes. You are responsible for maintaining backups where possible.
7. UPDATES AND CHANGES
Licensor may provide updates, patches, fixes, balance changes, content changes, or feature changes. These changes may affect saves, strategies, simulated economies, user interfaces, compatibility, performance, or previously available features. Licensor is not obligated to provide any particular update, support, online service, feature, or compatibility.
8. USER CONTENT, MODS, AND WORKSHOP FEATURES
The Game does not grant a general right to create, distribute, or commercialize mods, custom content, or derivative works unless Licensor separately enables or authorizes those features.
If Licensor later enables mods, Steam Workshop integration, custom content, screenshots, shared saves, community files, or other user-generated content features ("User Content"), you remain responsible for your User Content. You represent that you have the rights needed to create, upload, share, and license your User Content.
By submitting, uploading, sharing, or making User Content available through the Game or an authorized platform feature, you grant Licensor a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, display, perform, distribute, transmit, promote, and otherwise use that User Content for operating, supporting, improving, marketing, and distributing the Game and related services. This license lasts for as long as needed to provide those services and to preserve existing user access, backups, records, and legal compliance.
Licensor may remove, disable, or refuse User Content that violates this Agreement, platform rules, law, third-party rights, or community standards.
9. FEEDBACK
If you send ideas, suggestions, bug reports, balance notes, design proposals, or other feedback about the Game, you grant Licensor the right to use that feedback without restriction, compensation, attribution, or obligation to you.
10. PRIVACY
If Licensor collects personal information in connection with the Game, that collection and use will be described in the applicable privacy policy at [privacy policy URL]. Platform providers may separately collect and process information under their own privacy policies.
11. HEALTH AND SAFETY
Some people may experience seizures, eye strain, motion sickness, discomfort, or other symptoms from visual effects, flashing lights, screen movement, prolonged play, or computer use. Stop playing and consult a medical professional if you experience concerning symptoms. Use the Game responsibly and take breaks.
12. TERMINATION
This Agreement begins when you install, access, or use the Game and continues until terminated. You may terminate it by uninstalling the Game and ceasing all use.
Licensor may terminate this Agreement if you materially breach it. Upon termination, your license ends and you must stop using the Game and delete all copies in your possession or control, except where applicable law or platform rules provide otherwise.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, restrictions, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law, and general provisions.
13. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Game is provided "as is" and "as available," with all faults and without warranties of any kind. Licensor disclaims all warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, compatibility, uninterrupted operation, and error-free performance.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some exclusions may not apply to you. Nothing in this Agreement limits any mandatory consumer rights that cannot be waived by contract.
14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Licensor will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost saves, loss of goodwill, business interruption, real-world trading or investment losses, or other intangible losses arising out of or related to the Game or this Agreement.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Licensor's total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Game or this Agreement will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you paid for the Game in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) USD $50.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law, including liability for intentional misconduct, fraud, or personal injury caused by negligence where such liability cannot be limited.
15. INDEMNITY
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Licensor from and against claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from: (a) your breach of this Agreement; (b) your User Content; (c) your misuse of the Game; or (d) your violation of law, platform rules, or third-party rights.
16. EXPORT AND SANCTIONS COMPLIANCE
You may not use, export, re-export, download, or transfer the Game except as authorized by applicable laws and regulations. You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a resident or national of any country, territory, person, or entity subject to applicable sanctions or export restrictions that would prohibit your use of the Game.
17. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
This Agreement is governed by the laws of [State/Country], excluding its conflict-of-law rules. To the extent a dispute is not subject to mandatory consumer protection rules or platform dispute processes, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in [County/State or Country].
If you are a consumer, this section does not limit any mandatory rights you may have under the laws of your place of residence.
18. SEVERABILITY
If any part of this Agreement is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining parts will remain in effect. The invalid, illegal, or unenforceable part will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or removed if modification is not possible.
19. ASSIGNMENT
You may not assign or transfer this Agreement without Licensor's prior written consent. Licensor may assign or transfer this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, change of control, or transfer of the Game.
20. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, together with applicable platform terms and any additional terms presented with the Game, is the entire agreement between you and Licensor regarding the Game and supersedes prior or contemporaneous understandings regarding the Game.
