In order to protect CourtneyGameStudio and members of the community, we need end-user license terms that create rules for downloading and using CourtneyGameStudio’s products and participating in the community around them. In an effort make your life easier, this EULA has been kept as short and clear as possible.
In purchasing, downloading, using or playing the Package, you acknowledge that you have read and accept this agreement in its entirety, and agree to be bound by the terms therein. If you do not agree to follow these rules, then you must not buy, download, use or play the Package.
In purchasing ColonyShip-4: Survivors (“CS4S”), you purchase a perpetual license to install and use CS4S and associated materials, documents, online services, forums, and other ancillaries (henceforth collectively known as "the Package") on up to five devices you own. CourtneyGameStudio retains ownership of the Package. The only permissions you have in connection with the Package are the permissions laid out in this EULA.
THE RULE
The rule is that you can't distribute anything CourtneyGameStudio has made unless you obtain permission for CourtneyGameStudio first. This means you're not permitted to do things like:
-Distribute copies of anything CourtneyGameStudio has made, including the Package, to anyone else
-Make commercial use of anything CourtneyGameStudio has made
-Try to make money from anything CourtneyGameStudio has made in any way
-Let others access anything CourtneyGameStudio has made in a way that is unfair or unreasonable
-Give away or sell license keys (Of course you may give gift codes that have been bought through an official gift code system)
-Rip parts of our game out and distribute them (for example, ripping songs and selling or distributing them)
Within reason, you are allowed to make videos of the gameplay of the Package and distribute them. You're allowed to monetize these videos as well.
You're also allowed to use things CourtneyGameStudio has made if the law expressly allows it, such as under "fair use" or "fair dealing" doctrine - but only to the extent that the law applicable to you expressly says. For example, most "fair use" doctrines would allow you to use game screenshots in a review article.
MODS
You may create and distribute modifications, tools, or plugins ("Mods") for the game. In this context, “Mods" means something original that you or someone else created that doesn't contain a substantial part of CourtneyGameStudio’s copyrightable code or content. CourtneyGameStudio has final say on what constitutes a Mod and what doesn't.
In regards to Modding, the following terms apply:
-Your Mods must be distributed for free, period. Neither you, nor any other person or party, may sell them to anyone, commercially exploit them in any way, or charge anyone for receiving or using them without prior written consent from CourtneyGameStudio. Commercial exploitation includes but is not limited to in-game advertising, other advertising or marketing for any company, product or service.
-You may accept donations in connection with modding, but they may not be tied to the delivery of a specific product or service. You cannot try to push or force or pressure users of your Mod to donate to you in any way. Your request for donations must be unobtrusive.
-You may not advertise for donations within your Mods themselves.
-Your Mods must only work with the full, registered copy of the Package, not independently or with any other Package. Your Mod may not be distributed together with the base game as a "modded version" of the Package.
-Your Mods must not contain any illegal material.
-Your Mods must not contain any material that violates copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property restrictions.
-Your Mods must clearly be presented as community-created content and not as though they were official or made by CourtneyGameStudio.
-Your Mods must not misrepresent what they are or their purpose, or deceive players in any way they wouldn't reasonably appreciate.
-Your Mods may not be used as a vector for spreading malware.
-Your Mods may not defame, attack, or bully any individual.
You own content you create. However, by creating any Mod or derivative work from CS4S or making any content available on or through the Package, you agree to give CourtneyGameStudio permission to use, copy, modify, adapt, distribute, and publicly display that content, for free or as part of a commercial arrangement. This permission is irrevocable and lasts forever. You also agree to let CourtneyGameStudio permit other people to use, copy, modify, adapt, distribute, and publicly display your content, for free or as part of a commercial arrangement. This permission can be sold or licensed to anyone. Though CourtneyGameStudio generally likes to credit everyone for their work, CourtneyGameStudio is not required to credit or acknowledge you if CourtneyGameStudio uses anything you created, or if CourtneyGameStudio allows another to do so. If you don't want to give us these permissions, do not make content available on or through the Package. Please think carefully before you make any content available, because it may be made public and might even be used by other people in a way you don't like.
You're allowed to 'decompile' CourtneyGameStudio’s game assets and look through CourtneyGameStudio’s code, art, sound, and other resources for learning purposes, or to use CourtneyGameStudio’s resources as a basis or reference for a Mod. However, you're not allowed to rip these resources out and distribute them with express consent form CourtneyGameStudio.
BEHAVIOUR
You may not, in connection with the Package or related forums, abuse people, including but not limited to, by harassing, threatening, deceiving, pirating intellectual property, or spreading illegal material.
If you participate in an official CourtneyGameStudio discussion forum, or one controlled by CourtneyGameStudio staff, you are required to follow the rules of that forum as they are written at any particular time you participate there.
TERMINATION
CourtneyGameStudio can terminate this EULA if you breach any of the terms. This means that this license and the permission to use the Package can be revoked. This is serious, so please be sure you understand this. It means, for example, that if you distribute the Package to pirates, or break rules on the forum, or break any other rule in this EULA, CourtneyGameStudio can revoke your access to the Package with no refund.
You can terminate this EULA at any time by simply uninstalling the Package from all your machines.
If the EULA is terminated, you no longer have any of the rights to the Package given in this license (though you do, of course, retain rights to things you created yourself). Even if this EULA is terminated, provisions in it relating to jurisdiction and dispute resolution remain in force.
UPDATES
CourtneyGameStudio might make updates to the Package available from time to time, but isn't obligated to do so. CourtneyGameStudio also isn't obligated to provide any ongoing support or maintenance for the Package.
CourtneyGameStudio may sell the Package during an 'early access' or 'alpha' or 'beta' release period (or something similar), but this doesn't mean CourtneyGameStudio is obligated to add any particular amount of content or to fix any particular amount of bugs before releasing the game as its final version. CourtneyGameStudio is allowed to declare the Package finished, and cease updates, at any time. Of course, CourtneyGameStudio wants to make the game fulfill the creator’s vision, and be quite bug-free, but CourtneyGameStudio cannot be obligated to do any particular amount of additional work.
CourtneyGameStudio reserves the right to modify the terms of this EULA from time to time and will post notice of material changes somewhere on CourtneyGameStudio’s website (cs4survivors.com). These changes will be effective to the extent they can legally apply to you. For example if you use the Package only in single-player mode and don't use the updates CourtneyGameStudio makes available, then the old EULA applies. However, if you do use the updates, or use parts of the game that rely on CourtneyGameStudio providing ongoing online services, then the new EULA will apply.
GENERAL TERMS
Your local law may give you rights that this EULA cannot change. If so, this EULA applies as far as the law allows. Nothing in this license limits CourtneyGameStudio’s liability for death or bodily injury resulting from CourtneyGameStudio’s negligence or fraudulent misrepresentations.
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of CourtneyGameStudio. Any lawsuit relating to this agreement must be filed in the jurisdiction of CourtneyGameStudio.
If you come to us with a suggestion for any one of CourtneyGameStudio’s websites, games, or other products, that suggestion is made for free and CourtneyGameStudio has no obligation to accept or consider it. This means CourtneyGameStudio can use or not use your suggestion in any way CourtneyGameStudio wants and CourtneyGameStudio doesn’t have to pay you for it. If you think you have a suggestion that CourtneyGameStudio would be willing to pay you for, please do not submit your suggestion unless you have first informed CourtneyGameStudio you expect to be paid and CourtneyGameStudio has responded in writing by asking you to submit the suggestion.
You are aware and agree that use of the Package and the media on which it is recorded, if any, is at your sole risk. The Package is provided “as is.” CourtneyGameStudio expressly disclaims all other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. CourtneyGameStudio does not warrant that the Package will meet your requirements or desires. You bear the whole risk as to its quality and performance. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you.
You hold CourtneyGameStudio blameless for any harm that may arise from your use of the Package or from actions or inactions of CourtneyGameStudio in connection with the Package. Some jurisdictions do not allow for the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation of exclusion may not apply to you.
In purchasing, downloading, using or playing the Package, you acknowledge that you have read and accept this agreement in its entirety, and agree to be bound by the terms therein. If you do not agree to follow these rules, then you must not buy, download, use or play the Package.
