If you provide Tuxedo Labs with any feedback, suggestions, ideas, gameplay mechanics or comments ("feedback") through the Game or User Created Content, Tuxedo Labs is free to use the Feedback however Tuxedo Labs chooses, without any obligation to account to you.

By making your User Created Content available through third party websites, services etc. such as Valve's platform for User Created Content ("Steam Workshop") etc., You also agree, acknowledge and consent to the fact that other End Users of the Game may use all or parts of your User Created Content for the purpose of creating new, additional and/or modified User Created Content for the Game and hereby give such users a license to use your User Created Content how they see fit, provided they follow the terms and conditions of this Terms of Use and any additional applicable guidelines and applicable laws.

3) Guidelines for User Created Content.
User Created Content must comply with all from time-to-time applicable laws, terms and conditions and guidelines. Your User Created Content may not contain any content (including, by way of example and not limitation, language, sounds, images, assets, code, designs, patterns, layouts and levels etc.) that includes, is or can be construed to be: (i) graphic depictions of gratuitous or excessive violence; (ii) sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, harassing, abusive, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, hateful, or racially and/or ethnically charged; (iii) depicting or promoting intoxication or substance abuse; (iv) depicting or promoting negative racial, ethnic, gender, political or religious stereotypes; (v) making negative or disrespectful use of religious symbolism; (vi) reflecting adversely on the name, reputation, or goodwill of Tuxedo Labs, its affiliates, licensors, partners, the platform(s) etc.; or (vii) any content otherwise in violation of these Terms of Use or the platform/service providers' at any time applicable terms regarding user created content.

You will be fully responsible for Your User Created Content. By making your User Created Content available through the Game or its connected platforms such as the Steam Workshop and/or websites, services etc., you warrant and represent that the User Created Content you post, submit, upload, publish etc. through the Game or in connection with the Game does not infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights or other rights under applicable laws (including such rights as privacy rights etc.). It is your responsibility to make sure that no copyright protected material owned or controlled by third parties is inserted into Your User Created Content without the prior written consent of such third party and that no open-source software is contained or uploaded therein in breach of any licensing or other terms for such open-source software.

5) End User Warranties for User Created Content and User Intellectual Property.
By creating, posting, uploading, submitting for publishing and/or publishing any User Created Content in or in connection with the Game You represent and warrant that: (i) You have all the necessary rights to grant the licenses contained herein; (ii) there is no suit, action, claim, or other legal or administrative proceeding now pending or threatened which might directly or indirectly affect any of your User Created Content, or any part thereof, or which might in anyway impair the rights granted by You herein; (iii) You have not made the User Created Content to be deliberately offensive or objectionable and that it complies with these Terms of Use, the from time to time applicable Guidelines for User Created Content as well as applicable laws; (iv) you will not use the materials owned or controlled by Tuxedo Labs, its affiliates and/or licensors for any other purpose than for creating User Created Content for the Game; and (v) You will indemnify and hold harmless Tuxedo Labs for all damages, costs and expenses incurred for breaching these warranties.

6) DLC Specific Modification, Alteration and Reproduction Regulations.
In the Game, Tuxedo Labs may from time to time release certain downloadable content. Downloadable content is additional content created for the Game distributed through platforms and/or game stores ("DLC"). Such content will be subject to the terms about User Created Content unless stated otherwise in this clause. Additional fees may be charged for the access and playing of DLC.

In relation to DLC, we give you the ability to modify the material to create User Created Content. However, this comes with the exception that if modified User created Content is in essence a reproduction of an entire level, a substantial part of a level or if modified User Created Content is very close or similar to being a reproduction of an entire or substantial part of a level (thereby capturing the look and feel of an existing DLC) such use will be considered a breach of these terms. We aim to be as clear as possible when/if we do these assessments but given the unique situation Tuxedo Labs will have to assess some User Created Content that captures the essence of an entire or a substantial part of a level on a case-by-case basis.

We encourage all forms of modification, altering or reproduction of Teardown materials as long as this is not done with the object or aim to circumvent the structure of the DLC, for example, for other players to play a mod that in essence is the same level as a DLC intended for purchase or infringes Tuxedo Labs’ or third parties’ intellectual property rights. Tuxedo Labs encourages all its users to creatively drive the Game forward by modification and altering the products released within the given limits in accordance with these Terms of Use.

7) Moral Rights.
For the purposes of this Agreement, "Moral Rights" means any rights of paternity or integrity, any right to claim authorship of User Created Content or User Intellectual Property, to object to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of, or derogatory action in relation to, any of such User Created Content whether or not such would be prejudicial to your honor or reputation, and any similar rights existing under judicial or statutory law of any country in the world, or under any treaty, regardless of whether such right is denominated or generally referred to as a "moral" right. You hereby, to the fullest extent of the law, irrevocably waive in favor of Tuxedo Labs and assigns any and all Moral Rights that you may have or claim to have in the User Created Content. You also hereby, to the fullest extent of the law, forever waive and agree to never assert any Moral Rights You may have or claim to have in the User Created Content, whether or not You or Tuxedo Labs henceforth terminate this Agreement, or terminates Your use of the Game.

8) Penalties and Actions.
Tuxedo Labs/or the applicable platform or service provider may at any time, in its sole discretion, without prior notice delete, remove, or otherwise disable access to any of Your User Created Content if Tuxedo Labs or the applicable platform provider believe Your User Created Content is infringing the intellectual property rights of someone else, violates the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use, any guidelines for User Created Content, Your warranties and representations under these Terms of Use or any applicable laws.

Tuxedo Labs reserves all rights to disable your access to the Game, if you are found in violation of these rules multiple times, or if, in Tuxedo Labs' sole opinion, your transgression motivates such a penalty.

If You believe Tuxedo Labs has removed your User Created Content by mistake, you may notify Tuxedo Labs at info@tuxedolabs.com and Tuxedo Labs may, but has no obligation to, provide You with an opportunity to appeal that decision.
