RULE OF IRON: DARK AGE
END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT
Version 1.1 - 20 October 2026
1. Agreement and consumer rights
This agreement is between you and Eisengeist Studio, Germany ("we", "us"),
contactable at contact@ruleofiron.com. It covers Rule of Iron: Dark Age,
including its demo, documentation, game content and updates we supply (the
"Game"). It applies internationally.
Read this agreement before accepting it through the store or other
distribution process. If you do not agree, do not accept it and contact your
seller about your purchase and available refund rights. Receiving this file
alone does not constitute acceptance. A minor may accept only with the consent
or representation required by applicable law.
Nothing in this agreement excludes or restricts mandatory consumer rights,
statutory guarantees or remedies under the law applicable to you. This
protection applies to every section, including the restrictions, updates and
termination provisions. More protective mandatory local rules take priority.
2. Licence grant and duration
When you lawfully acquire the Game, we grant you a non-exclusive licence to
install and play it for your personal entertainment on devices you own or
control. You may make backup copies as permitted by law. Sharing through an
authorised store feature is allowed under that feature's terms. A purchased
licence has no fixed expiry and continues unless lawfully terminated under
section 11. A demo covers the content and any access period disclosed when
it is offered.
The permissions for mods and recordings below are part of this licence.
Other commercial exploitation, sublicensing or transfers require our
permission, except for store-authorised sharing and rights that applicable
law does not allow us to restrict.
3. Restrictions and statutory exceptions
Except as this agreement, a separate licence or applicable law permits, you
may not:
- Copy, sell, rent, sublicense, distribute or make the Game or its protected
assets or code available to others. This includes original, modified,
decompiled, disassembled or recompiled versions, reconstructed executables
and source code derived from the Game.
- Modify, decrypt, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the executable,
or circumvent its access controls. Supported mods are permitted under
section 4.
- Remove copyright or licence notices, or use our names or marks to suggest
that we endorse your product or content.
These restrictions preserve acts you are entitled to perform under applicable
law, including necessary backup copies, permitted observation, study, testing
and error correction, and decompilation for interoperability within the
conditions imposed by that law. They do not give us ownership of unprotected
ideas or principles. Mandatory rights to transfer a lawfully acquired copy
are unaffected. A statutory exception for decompilation does not itself grant
a general right to publish or redistribute our protected code.
4. Mods and user-created content
You may create, install and share free mods using the Game's supported
modding interfaces, including local mods and Steam Workshop distribution.
Mods must require a lawful copy of the relevant Game content. Distribute
your own additions and changes rather than copies of our Game files or
extracted assets. Include third-party material only with the necessary rights.
Selling mods or redistributing our protected material beyond these permissions
requires a separate licence from us, unless applicable law permits it.
You retain the rights you hold in your original contributions. This agreement
does not transfer them to us or grant us a licence to publish them. A hosting
service may require its own separate licence when you upload content there.
Our permission covers only rights we control; other contributors' licences
also apply to their material.
A mod must not contain malware, infringe others' rights or falsely claim
official endorsement. Third-party mods are not endorsed or maintained by us
unless we expressly say otherwise. Compatibility may change with updates;
this does not reduce our obligations concerning the Game itself.
5. Screenshots, recordings and streaming
You may publish screenshots, gameplay recordings, reviews and livestreams,
including monetising them through advertising, subscriptions or donations.
This permits use of our Game material within those works, including ordinary
editing and commentary. It does not permit selling or distributing extracted
assets or representing your work as an official release. Rights in material
owned by third parties remain subject to their applicable permissions.
6. Ownership and third-party components
We and our licensors retain the intellectual property rights in the Game.
This agreement grants rights of use without transferring those intellectual
property rights. It does not claim ownership of your original contributions.
Third-party software and content are subject to the licences and notices
provided in assets/licenses.txt. Those terms take priority for the components
they cover. Nothing in this agreement restricts permissions granted by an
open-source or other third-party licence, or replaces any obligations we have
under those licences.
7. Purchases, stores, refunds and withdrawal
The seller and the price are identified when you acquire the Game. This
agreement creates no subscription or additional payment obligation. A demo
does not require payment unless a separate paid purchase is clearly offered
and you choose to make it.
Your store's terms govern your relationship with that store, including its
account, delivery and voluntary refund policies. This agreement does not
replace the sales contract, override advertised product characteristics or
restrict statutory claims against the party legally responsible for them.
Contact your seller about payment or refunds; you may also contact us for
help with the Game and your rights.
Where you have a statutory right of withdrawal for a digital purchase, this
agreement does not waive it. For paid digital content, any early loss of that
right must satisfy the applicable legal conditions, including express prior
consent to early supply, acknowledgement of the resulting loss of the right,
commencement of supply and the required contract confirmation. Accepting this
EULA alone is not that consent or acknowledgement.
8. Updates, changes and support
We provide and notify you of updates, including security updates, for the
period required by applicable law and any commitments made with your purchase.
For a one-time supply, the statutory period depends on what you may reasonably
expect from the type and purpose of the Game and the circumstances of purchase.
Optional additional content or features are included only if promised or
separately offered and acquired.
We may supply fixes and improvements, but this agreement does not authorise
us to disregard the agreed characteristics of your purchase. Where the rules
for continuously supplied digital content apply, changes beyond maintaining
conformity may be made for security, legal compliance or necessary technical
compatibility, without extra charge and with clear information. If such a
change causes more than minor impairment of access or use, we give reasonable
advance notice on a durable medium, such as email, describing the change,
timing and applicable rights.
For more than minor impairment, those rules provide a right to terminate
without charge within 30 days after notification or the change, whichever is
later, unless unchanged, conforming access remains available without charge.
Updates or changes to mods may affect saves and mod compatibility. Keep backup
copies of saves before changing versions or mods. This advice does not limit
any claim or remedy you have. Contact contact@ruleofiron.com for support.
9. Conformity and statutory remedies
The Game must meet the requirements of the contract and applicable law.
Your statutory rights relating to supply, conformity, defects and updates
remain intact. Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, remedies
may include correction, replacement, price reduction, termination, refund and
compensation for loss. We do not impose an "as is" exclusion of these rights
or shorten their statutory duration through this agreement.
Where Australian Consumer Law applies, its consumer guarantees and associated
remedies are unaffected. The same applies to non-excludable consumer rights
in other countries. Store refund policies are additional to mandatory rights.
10. Liability
Our liability for injury, loss or damage is governed by applicable law. This
agreement imposes no additional contractual exclusions or financial caps.
11. Termination
You may end this agreement by stopping use and deleting your copies of the
Game. This alone does not create a refund entitlement or remove one you have
under applicable law or a store's policy.
We may terminate the licence for a material breach only where applicable law
allows. Where required, we will first notify you and give you a reasonable
opportunity to remedy the breach. A minor breach does not automatically end
the licence. Discontinuing sales or optional future development does not
itself terminate an existing purchased licence or remove update obligations.
After lawful termination, stop using and delete copies of the Game, except
material you are legally entitled or required to retain. Third-party rights
and your ownership of original contributions remain unaffected. Termination
does not remove statutory refunds, remedies or claims already accrued.
12. Local files, platform services and personal data
The Game stores settings, saves and diagnostic files, including logs and crash
reports, on your device. Steam features, where used, interact with Steam
account and Workshop services and are subject to the applicable platform
terms and privacy information. Third-party mods may have their own behaviour
and privacy information.
This EULA is not consent to processing personal data. Processing must have
its own lawful basis and the information required by applicable data
protection law. If you choose to send us logs or other material for support,
avoid including information unnecessary for the request. Data-protection
rights are not waived by this agreement.
13. Export controls
You and we must comply with export-control and sanctions laws applicable to
our respective activities. This agreement does not impose a separate ban on
countries or users beyond restrictions required by applicable law.
14. Applicable law and disputes
German law governs this agreement. If you are a consumer, this choice does
not deprive you of mandatory protections of the law that would apply without
this choice, including the law of your habitual residence where applicable.
Jurisdiction is determined by applicable law, including any right you have
to bring proceedings in your home courts. This agreement does not require
arbitration, exclusive German courts, a preliminary complaint procedure or
a waiver of collective remedies. You may contact us to seek an informal
resolution without giving up access to other remedies.
15. Changes to this agreement and remaining terms
Publishing a revised EULA alone does not change an existing agreement. A
change requires a legally valid basis and any notice or agreement required
by applicable law. Continuing to use a purchased copy alone is not acceptance
of a newly published version.
If a provision is invalid or does not form part of the agreement, the
consequences are determined by applicable law, including statutory replacement
of that provision where required. Individually agreed terms take priority.
This agreement does not displace binding product descriptions, commitments
made with your purchase or the third-party terms identified above.
