Language:
1. Scope
These terms set out the conditions for using TASMON: Taskbar Monsters (the "Game"), provided by Project Zeta ("we", "us").
By installing or playing the Game, you agree to these terms.
The Game is distributed through Steam. The Steam Subscriber Agreement, set by Valve Corporation, applies in addition to these terms. Where the two conflict on matters concerning the Steam platform itself, the Steam Subscriber Agreement prevails.
2. Licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Game in accordance with these terms.
All rights in the Game, and in its images, music, text and code, belong to us or to their rightful owners. These terms do not transfer any of those rights to you.
Please do not copy, modify, decompile, redistribute or supply the Game to third parties, whether or not for payment. Sharing your play — streams, videos and screenshots — is welcome.
3. Your setup, and playing at your own risk
System requirements are stated on the store page. We cannot guarantee operation outside them.
You use the Game at your own risk. We are not responsible for problems or losses arising from your hardware, network, OS or driver settings, or from other software running alongside the Game.
We ask two things of you:
Play in the recommended setup (section 4)
Take a backup from time to time, using the in-game Transfer Save feature, for progress that matters to you
4. Save data and multiple accounts
Your save data is stored on the PC you play on.
We recommend playing with one Steam account per PC. If you use several Steam accounts on the same PC, your saves are kept separately per account. This is intended behaviour, but it may not match what you expect.
We cannot guarantee recovery of save data that is split, mixed up or lost as a result of using multiple Steam accounts.
If progress from another account is present on your PC, we will tell you at startup. We never merge data automatically. You choose which save to use.
Please use the in-game Transfer Save feature when changing PC, reinstalling, or moving between accounts.
5. Paid content
The Game may include paid downloadable content and in-game items.
Payment and refunds are handled under Steam's refund policy. We do not issue refunds directly.
In-game currency and items can be used only within the Game, and cannot be exchanged for cash or other financial value, except through the trading described in section 6.
Where the contents of an item are determined by chance, we disclose the drop rates.
6. Trading items
The Game may support trading items through the Steam Community Market.
What can be traded, and under what conditions, is set by us and may change for game balance or safety reasons.
Trades take place on Steam systems and are subject to Steam rules and fees.
We may restrict trading by region where required by law.
7. Prohibited conduct
Please do not do the following. We may restrict features or suspend access if we find it happening.

Modifying game data, or manipulating the Game with analysis or injection tools
Using automation (bots) for bulk trades or actions, or anything equivalent
Deliberately exploiting a defect to gain what normal play would not give
Infringing the rights of other players, of us, or of third parties, or disrupting others
Using the Game commercially without permission (other than the sharing allowed in section 2.3)
Anything unlawful or contrary to public order
8. If something goes wrong
If save data or purchased content is lost because of a fault on our side, we will provide compensation appropriate to what was lost. The amount and scope are decided case by case, after confirming what progress was affected.
Compensation is provided as in-game items. We do not issue cash refunds; refunds for purchased content follow Steam's refund policy, as stated in section 5.2.
Cases covered by section 4.3 (arising from the use of multiple accounts), and cases arising from your own hardware or environment, may fall outside compensation.
9. Changes, suspension and end of service
Content, balance and available features may change without prior notice.
If we judge it necessary for safety, we may temporarily disable a feature. Where we do, we will tell you beforehand, or as soon as we can.
If we have to end the service, we will give reasonable notice first.
10. Players under the age of majority
If you are under the age of majority where you live, please play with the consent of a parent or guardian, and always obtain their consent before buying paid content.

11. Your information
The Game may handle your Steam account identifier, play state and error information, to the extent needed to run the Game and investigate faults.
We do not provide this to third parties without your consent, except where disclosure is required by law.
12. Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms as needed. Revised terms take effect once announced on the store page or in-game.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the laws of Japan. Any dispute concerning the Game shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance.

14. Contact
For bug reports and enquiries, please use our official Discord or the in-game suggestion box. For matters needing individual attention — save data or account issues — please email hitoshinomori@gmail.com. See docs/pr/support-inquiry-format.md for what to include.
