1. LIMITED LICENSE

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and play the Game for your personal entertainment use through authorized platforms such as Steam.

This license is not a sale. You do not own the Game, its code, assets, music, art, characters, designs, systems, names, logos, or related intellectual property. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by us and our licensors.

Your use of Steam is governed by Valve's applicable agreements, including the Steam Subscriber Agreement and Steamworks-related platform rules.

If there is a conflict between this Agreement and Steam's requirements for use of Steam services, Steam's requirements may control for Steam-related functionality.

3. ONLINE FEATURES AND MULTIPLAYER

The Game includes online multiplayer features, including hosting, joining, lobby systems, player names, factions, squadrons, progression, matchmaking or server browser features, and game telemetry used to operate and balance the Game.

Online features may change, be interrupted, be unavailable, or be discontinued at any time. We do not guarantee that online services, player-hosted sessions, dedicated servers, matchmaking, or multiplayer features will be available at all times.

4. PLAYER ACCOUNTS, PROGRESSION, AND SAVE DATA

The Game may create or store local and/or platform-linked data, including player name, faction selection, progression, level, rank, loadouts, statistics, squadrons, settings, legal acceptance status, and gameplay history. Some features may depend on Steam ID, local save files, or hosted session data.

You are responsible for maintaining access to your Steam account and local files. We are not responsible for lost progress caused by account issues, corrupted files, system failure, user modification, incompatible builds, network disruption, or actions outside our reasonable control.

5. USER NAMES, CHAT, SQUADRONS, AND USER-GENERATED CONTENT

The Game may allow you to create or display names, chat messages, squadron names, abbreviations, messages, and similar content ("User Content"). You are responsible for your User Content.
