SKYTS - END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT
Last updated: 23 September 2026
1. WHO THIS AGREEMENT IS WITH
This End User Licence Agreement ("Agreement") is a contract between you and
Emilien Chastel, an individual developer established in France, trading as
Pyts Studio ("we", "us", "the Developer"), covering the game Skyts and any
updates, patches and online services we provide with it ("the Game").
Contact: contact@pyts-studio.com
Website: https://pyts-studio.com
By installing or playing the Game you accept this Agreement. If you do not
accept it, do not install or play the Game, and use Steam's refund process.
2. ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH STEAM
The Game is distributed through Steam. Your use of Steam is governed by the
Steam Subscriber Agreement between you and Valve Corporation. This Agreement
adds to it; it does not replace it.
If anything here conflicts with the Steam Subscriber Agreement, the Steam
Subscriber Agreement prevails. Nothing in this Agreement limits any right you
have against Valve, including Steam's refund policy.
3. THE LICENCE WE GRANT YOU
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to
install and play the Game for your own private, non-commercial entertainment,
on the devices allowed by your Steam account, for as long as this Agreement is
in force.
You are buying a licence to use the Game, not ownership of it.
4. WHAT YOU MAY DO
You may:
- play the Game as it is meant to be played, alone or against others;
- record, stream and broadcast your own play, including monetised video and
live streams, provided you do not present the Game as your own work and do
not redistribute the Game itself or any part of its files;
- make a personal backup copy where the law gives you that right.
5. WHAT YOU MAY NOT DO
You may not:
- sell, rent, lend, sub-licence or otherwise distribute the Game or any part
of its files;
- remove or alter any notice of ownership in the Game;
- use the Game commercially beyond the broadcasting permitted in section 4,
including in a paid tournament or a commercial venue, without our written
agreement;
- modify the Game, or use any external program, in order to gain an advantage
in a timed run or to submit a time you did not actually achieve;
- interfere with our servers, or attempt to access data or accounts that are
not yours;
- reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Game, EXCEPT where that is
permitted by mandatory law. In the European Union this includes
decompilation necessary to achieve interoperability, and observing, studying
or testing the Game to determine the ideas behind it, under Articles 5(3)
and 6 of Directive 2009/24/EC. We do not restrict those rights and this
Agreement does not attempt to.
6. FAIR PLAY, LEADERBOARDS AND YOUR TIMES
Skyts is a game of recorded times. To keep those times meaningful:
- when you complete a run, the Game sends us the time and a trace of the run,
which is a record of your position, speed and state sampled through the run,
so that the time can be checked;
- we check every submitted time automatically, and we may refuse or remove any
time we reasonably believe was not achieved by playing the Game normally;
- we may restrict or end your access to online leaderboards if you repeatedly
submit times we refuse, or if you interfere with the service.
Refusing or removing a time does not affect your licence to play the Game
offline, and we will remove a time only on the basis described above.
7. ONLINE SERVICES
Some features of the Game depend on servers we run: leaderboards, records, and
matchmaking between players.
We try to keep them available, but we do not promise uninterrupted service. We
may change, suspend or discontinue an online feature, and we may stop running
the servers altogether, for example if the Game reaches the end of its life.
Where we plan to withdraw an online feature permanently, we will give
reasonable notice through the Game's Steam page unless we are prevented from
doing so.
The Game remains playable offline for single-player timed runs.
8. PERSONAL DATA
Running leaderboards means handling personal data. Emilien Chastel is the
controller for that processing.
What we receive when you play online:
- Your Steam ID, to identify your runs and your place on a board.
- Your Steam display name and avatar image, to show you on the leaderboards.
- Your run times and run traces, to rank you and to check the run is genuine.
- Your IP address and request times, to run the service and to limit abuse.
Legal basis. Performing this contract with you, for identity and times; our
legitimate interest in a leaderboard that is not overrun by false entries, for
the checks and the abuse limits.
Who else sees it. Your display name, avatar and times are shown to other
players on the leaderboards and on https://pyts-studio.com. We do not sell
your data. The service runs on a virtual private server provided by Datalix, a
German provider, in a data centre located in Germany. Your data therefore
stays within the European Union and is not transferred outside it.
How long we keep it. Times and the identity attached to them are kept for as
long as the leaderboards run. Traces are kept for 12 months. Server logs are
kept for 30 days.
Your rights. Under the GDPR you may ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to
correct or erase it, object to processing based on legitimate interest, and
complain to a supervisory authority, which in France is the CNIL. Write to
contact@pyts-studio.com and we will answer within one month.
Asking us to erase your data will remove your times from the leaderboards.
Our full privacy policy is at https://pyts-studio.com/privacy.
9. OWNERSHIP
The Game, including its code, engine, art, models, textures, sounds, music,
course layouts and name, belongs to us or to our licensors, and is protected
by copyright. Except for the licence in section 3, no right in it passes to
you.
10. YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER
If you are a consumer, you have rights that no contract can take away from
you. In the European Union these include the legal guarantee that digital
content conforms to what was described (Directive (EU) 2019/770), and in
France the garantie legale de conformite under the Code de la consommation.
Nothing in this Agreement limits those rights. The disclaimers in section 11
apply only so far as the law allows.
11. WARRANTY AND LIABILITY
Except for the rights described in section 10 and any other right you have
under mandatory law, the Game is provided as is. We do not warrant that it
will be free of faults, that it will run on every configuration, or that its
online services will always be available.
We are liable for damage we cause by our own fault. We do not exclude or limit
our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for
fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Subject to that, and to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for
indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost data, or loss of
leaderboard standing, and our total liability arising out of this Agreement is
limited to the amount you paid for the Game.
12. ENDING THIS AGREEMENT
This Agreement lasts as long as your licence does.
You may end it at any time by uninstalling the Game and ceasing to use it.
We may end it if you seriously or repeatedly break section 5 or section 6, and
only after telling you what the problem is and giving you a reasonable chance
to stop, unless the breach makes that pointless. If we end it, you must stop
using the Game. Ending this Agreement does not affect your rights against
Valve, including any refund you are entitled to.
13. CHANGES
We may change this Agreement when the Game changes, for example when a new
online feature starts handling data differently. We will publish the new
version on the Game's Steam page and, where the change matters to you, tell
you in the Game.
If you do not accept a change that affects your rights, you may stop using the
online services or uninstall the Game. Changes do not apply retroactively.
14. LAW AND COURTS
This Agreement is governed by French law.
If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of the protection of
the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you may bring
proceedings in the courts of that country. We may bring proceedings only in
the courts of the country where you live.
If you are not a consumer, the competent courts of France have exclusive
jurisdiction.
