District Steel - End-User License Agreement (EULA)


This End-User License Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you and Barricade Studio.

This EULA governs your acquisition and use of our District Steel software ("Software") directly from Barricade Studio or indirectly through a Barricade Studio authorized reseller or distributor (a "Reseller").

Please read this EULA carefully before completing the installation process and using the District Steel software. It provides a license to use the District Steel software and contains warranty information and liability disclaimers.

If you register for a free trial of the District Steel software, this EULA will also govern that trial. By clicking "accept" or installing and/or using the District Steel software, you are confirming your acceptance of the Software and agreeing to become bound by the terms of this EULA.

If you are entering into this EULA on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to these terms and conditions. If you do not have such authority or if you do not agree with the terms and conditions of this EULA, do not install or use the Software, and you must not accept this EULA.

This EULA shall apply only to the Software supplied by Barricade Studio herewith regardless of whether other software is referred to or described herein. The terms also apply to any Barricade Studio updates, supplements, Internet-based services, and support services for the Software, unless other terms accompany those items on delivery. If so, those terms apply.

Safety
You agree that you shall abide by the safety guide or other relevant notices provided by your Virtual Reality Hardware Manufacturer at all times during your use of the Software. You acknowledge that you have located, read and understood your Virtual Reality Hardware Manufacturer's guidelines.

Your actions while using the Software could place you, people near you, pets and objects in danger. By choosing to use the Software, you voluntarily acknowledge and accept any and all risks and consequences associated with use of the Software.

While using the Software, you will be moving your hands, feet and body. While wearing your Virtual Reality headset and using the Software, you will not be able to see anything in the physical room around you. The image displayed in the headset will not match the real world. While using this Software, if you move your feet, do so slowly and maintain your balance. Be aware of your headset cable at all times and do not trip on it. Falling and/or striking an object with your head, limbs or body could cause serious injury or death to yourself or others.

It is strongly recommended that you use the Software only under the supervision of another person who may provide warning to you of any safety hazards that may arise, or that you may approach, while using the Software. Be sure you can hear the supervising person at all times while using the Software.

While using the hand controllers while using the Software, always check that you have sufficient overhead and surrounding clearance to allow you to fully extend your arms outward and upwards. Hold the controllers firmly and always use the wrist straps. Do not use near stairways, windows or heat sources. While using the Software, avoid moving your hands or body in a rapid or uncontrolled manner. Doing so may cause serious injury to yourself or others. You acknowledge and agree that you will not rely on any mechanism in the Software for protection.

Each time you use this Software, you acknowledge that it is your responsibility to completely clear your play area of people, pets, furniture and all objects that you could potentially strike, contact or otherwise become entangled with. This includes, but is not limited to, computer equipment, monitors, television sets, light fixtures, mirrors and artwork. Be especially aware of ceiling light fixtures and ceiling fans within your play space. Striking, contacting or becoming entangled in any object while using the Software could cause serious injury or damage.

You acknowledge that using the Software with your Virtual Reality Hardware may involve a test of your physical and mental limits and may carry with it the potential for serious injury, and property loss, or death. The risks of using the Software may include, but are not limited to, those caused by loss of balance, caused by inability to see physical surroundings, caused by inability to hear sounds in physical surrounds, caused by any part of your body hitting or otherwise contacting people or objects in the physical surroundings, caused by repetitive or strenuous motion of any part of your body, caused by involuntary motion or action of any part of your body, caused by stress to your eyesight or hearing from frequent or prolonged use. For some individuals, sequences of images which may be displayed by the Software on the Virtual Reality Headset screen, including but not limited to images of rapidly flashing lights, could induce epileptic seizures.

Due to the immersive nature of the Software, you may feel compelled to move your body and/or limbs in an uncontrolled, rapid or otherwise unsafe manner. You may feel compelled to move or reach beyond the safe boundaries of the play area you have prepared when following your Virtual Reality Manufacturers safety guidelines. You agree that if you choose to use the Software, you will avoid such actions at all times, and that it is solely your responsibility to move and act in a safe and controlled manner while using the Software. You acknowledge and agree that you will not rely on any mechanism in the Software for protection.

You may feel overwhelmed by the immersive nature of the Software, and you may experience intense physical and psychological sensations during or after its use. You acknowledge that you are capable of removing your Virtual Reality headset at any time during the use of the Software in order to cease experiencing the Software, to check your location within your physical surroundings, to provide yourself with adequate rest and recovery, or for any other reason to ensure your mental and/or physical comfort and safety.

This Software is not intended for use by children. Children may be unable to maintain safe control of their actions if permitted to use the Software. You agree that you will not allow children under the age of 14 to use this Software. You agree that persons under the age of minority (18 years of age in the Netherlands), shall be supervised by an adult at all times while using the Software. It is further recommended that all persons be supervised while using the Software to ensure safety.

You acknowledge that you are voluntarily participating in the use of the Software entirely at your own risk. You are aware of the risks associated with using the Software, which may include, but are not limited to physical or psychological injury, pain, suffering, illness, disfigurement, temporary or permanent disability (including paralysis), economic or emotional loss, and death. You understand that these injuries or outcomes may arise from your use of the Software, including due to your own or other's negligence. Nonetheless, you assume all related risks, both known or unknown to you, of using the Software.
