DESKTOPKINS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
Full and Demo editions
Effective date: 10/02/2026
Publisher: Minikol ("Publisher", "we", "us", or "our")
Contact: desktopkins@gmail.com
1 About this agreement
This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") governs your use of DesktopKins, including the Full and Demo editions, accompanying documentation, and updates we provide (together, the "Software"). It is an agreement between you and the Publisher. DesktopKins provides desktop avatars, desktop interactions, and game features; availability depends on your edition.
By accepting this Agreement when it is presented to you, you agree to its terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software. If you purchased through Steam, you may request a refund under Steam's refund rules and any applicable legal rights. You must have the legal capacity to enter this Agreement or, where the law permits, the authorization of a parent or legal guardian.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes rights or remedies that applicable law does not allow us to exclude. Section 5 preserves rights under separate licenses and in public-domain material.
2 Your license and Steam
Subject to this Agreement and your lawful entitlement to the relevant edition, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive license to install and use the Software for your personal entertainment on compatible devices that you own or are authorized to use. You may make backup copies to the extent permitted by applicable law. Transfers or sharing through Steam are subject to Steam's applicable rules; this Agreement does not independently grant permission to transfer a Steam account or subscription.
The proprietary parts of the Software are licensed, not sold. We and the respective rights holders retain ownership of our software and content. No ownership of your imported models or other user content transfers to us.
Your relationship with Valve, Steam account, purchases, delivery, and Steam services are governed by Valve's applicable terms, including the Steam Subscriber Agreement at https://store.steampowered.com/subscriber_agreement/. This Agreement does not amend those terms or impose obligations on Valve. For matters governed by Valve's terms, those terms continue to apply. Our permissions cover only rights we are entitled to grant.
3 Full and Demo editions
The Demo provides only the characters and functions made available in that edition. It may restrict avatar selection, custom model imports, additional avatar slots, game levels, or other features described in the Demo's listing and interface. A Demo license does not unlock the Full edition. Any separate price or entitlement required for the Full edition must be disclosed before purchase.
This Agreement does not itself impose a time limit on the Demo. Any time-limited trial must be clearly identified as such before you obtain it. Statements about planned features do not expand the license to features that have not been supplied, and do not reduce any rights arising from binding product descriptions or commitments.
4 Restrictions on proprietary software
Except where applicable law, a separate license, or our written permission allows it, you must not:
- Sell, rent, sublicense, or redistribute the proprietary Software or offer it as a downloadable product of your own.
- Copy, extract, or distribute proprietary models, animation data, textures, audio, or other assets as a standalone asset library.
- Bypass license checks or Demo restrictions to obtain access to features you are not entitled to use.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or modify proprietary code, except to the extent applicable law permits despite this restriction.
- Remove proprietary notices from copies where those notices are required, or use the Software to infringe another person's rights or violate applicable law.
These restrictions do not limit rights to independently licensed components, public-domain material, lawful interoperability or security research protected by law, or other statutory exceptions. They also do not prohibit using supported customization features as intended. Section 5 controls where a separate component license grants broader rights.
5 Third party software and assets
The Software includes components and content from other creators. Refer to THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md and any separately supplied licenses for component-specific notices. Different models, animations, sounds, and software components may have different terms. Inclusion in DesktopKins does not mean that we own every asset or that every asset can be reused on the same terms.
For any component supplied under an open-source, Creative Commons, or other separate license, that license governs your rights in that component and takes priority over conflicting restrictions in this Agreement. Nothing here adds restrictions to rights granted under those licenses or to material in the public domain. Comply with any applicable attribution, notice, source-code, or other license obligations when exercising those rights.
For example, CC BY 4.0 material may be reused subject to its license conditions, and CC0 material retains the freedoms provided by that dedication and applicable law. Those terms do not automatically cover other assets or unrelated trademark, privacy, or publicity rights. Refer to the license assigned to the particular file, not simply the avatar's name or appearance.
6 Imported avatars and recordings
If your edition supports imports, you may load VRM models and other supported content that you own or have permission to use for your intended purpose. You remain responsible for obtaining permissions required for that use. A model being downloadable, technically compatible, or marked with metadata does not by itself establish all necessary rights. Compatibility and performance vary with model construction and complexity.
You and the relevant rights holders retain ownership of imported content. Loading a model authorizes the Software to read, make local copies where needed, process, animate, and display it as needed for the functions you use. That does not grant the Publisher a right to sell it, train AI models on it, publish it, or distribute it to other users. Any later sharing or upload feature must provide its own appropriate disclosures and permissions before content is transmitted for that purpose.
To the extent we control the necessary rights, you may publish screenshots and recordings of normal use or gameplay, including videos and livestreams monetized through advertising, sponsorships, or audience contributions. This permission does not authorize standalone redistribution of Software assets or grant additional rights to third-party music, models, or other content shown or heard in a recording. Obtain any additional permissions required for those elements. Do not imply that we or another creator endorse you without permission. Lawful criticism and reviews are not restricted by this Agreement.
7 Desktop interactions and safe use
DesktopKins operates over your Windows desktop. Depending on your edition and settings, avatars can interact with screen edges, desktop icons, and window boundaries. Enabled icon-pushing features can change the positions of actual desktop icons. Some desktop interactions may be enabled by default; review the settings before use. Stopping an interaction does not necessarily restore your prior icon layout, and available undo functions may be limited.
Depending on enabled settings, behavior features can use foreground application and window information, keyboard-activity timing, or local analysis of system audio playback to influence avatar reactions. Review the relevant settings before enabling or continuing to use those functions. This description does not replace any privacy notice or consent required by law.
Overlays, animations, audio, and game controls can distract from other tasks or affect interaction with visible desktop content. Use the available settings to disable unwanted interactions, or close the Software. Save important work and use appropriate backups. DesktopKins is intended for entertainment, not as a safety-critical tool or a substitute for a reliable reminder system.
Check the published system requirements. Imported content, multiple avatars, display configurations, graphics drivers, Windows behavior, and other software can affect performance or compatibility. These precautions do not waive your rights if the Software fails to meet applicable legal requirements or our binding commitments.
8 Privacy and support information
This Agreement is not a privacy notice and does not provide blanket consent to collect, transmit, or disclose personal information, desktop contents, or imported models. Any processing of personal information remains subject to applicable data-protection law and the notices and permissions required for that processing. Steam and other separately operated platform services are subject to their own applicable privacy terms.
When contacting support, share only information needed to explain the issue. Screenshots, recordings, logs, and model files may reveal personal information or include another person's protected content. Remove unrelated sensitive information and obtain any permission required before sending those materials.
9 Updates and local data
Updates may correct errors, improve compatibility or security, rebalance games, or replace content where rights or legal requirements warrant doing so. Updates may be delivered through Steam according to its settings and terms. We will respect applicable notice requirements, mandatory consumer rights, and binding product commitments when making changes. This clause does not give us an unrestricted right to withdraw paid functionality without any remedy.
Settings, presets, avatar imports, and saved positions may depend on the version that created them. Keep backups of important custom files and settings before upgrading, reinstalling, or attempting a downgrade. Replacing the executable with an older version does not restore older user data, and an older version may not understand newer data. No particular support period or future feature is promised by this Agreement beyond what we expressly commit to or applicable law requires.
10 Purchases and refunds
For Steam purchases, use Steam's refund process. Its policy is available at https://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds/. Nothing in this Agreement narrows Steam's refund policy or any statutory right to a refund, repair, replacement, price reduction, withdrawal, or other remedy. For purchases through another authorized seller, that seller's applicable transaction terms also apply, subject to your legal rights.
11 Warranties and liability
The following provisions apply only to the extent permitted by the law applicable to you. They do not override express commitments we make that are legally binding, mandatory standards for digital products, or non-excludable consumer guarantees.
Except for those commitments and legal protections, the Software is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, compatibility with every imported model or software configuration, or that every defect will be corrected. To the extent legally permitted, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
To the extent legally permitted, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or loss of profits arising from use of or inability to use the Software. This exclusion does not apply to liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude or limit. It does not remove remedies for failure to supply a conforming product where those remedies are protected by law. If an exclusion is not permitted in your jurisdiction, it does not apply to you to that extent.
12 Ending this agreement
You may stop using the Software and terminate your license by uninstalling it and discontinuing use of the proprietary Software. Keep any personal files you wish to retain. Uninstalling does not itself cancel a Steam account, request a refund, or guarantee removal of every saved setting or custom file.
We may terminate the license we grant if you materially breach this Agreement, subject to applicable law. Where reasonably practicable and legally appropriate, we will give notice describing the breach and a reasonable opportunity to correct it before termination. On valid termination, you must stop using the proprietary Software and remove your copies, except copies you may lawfully retain.
Termination does not transfer ownership of your content, authorize us to delete your personal files, or cancel rights granted by separate component licenses except as those licenses themselves provide. Provisions intended to continue, including ownership, third-party license protections, accrued obligations, and applicable liability provisions, survive termination. Your non-excludable legal rights remain intact.
13 Changes and disputes
We may propose revised terms for future use of the Software. Material changes will be identified with a new effective date and communicated before they take effect. We will obtain any acceptance required by applicable law. A revision will not retroactively remove accrued rights or claims. A posted revision alone does not override requirements for valid notice or consent.
Applicable law and competent courts are determined under the legal rules that apply to the dispute. This Agreement does not impose mandatory arbitration, waive class or collective proceedings, or take away a consumer's right to bring a claim in a court available under mandatory law. You may contact us to seek an informal resolution, but doing so is not a condition for exercising legal rights.
14 General terms and contact
If a provision is unenforceable, it will not apply to the extent of that unenforceability, and the remaining provisions continue where legally permissible. A delay in enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it. This Agreement governs the license granted by the Publisher alongside applicable transaction terms and separate component licenses; it does not supersede rights preserved elsewhere in this Agreement.
