🔗Acceptance
In order to get any license under these terms, you must agree to them as both strict obligations and conditions to all your licenses.
🔗Copyright License
The licensor grants you a copyright license for the software to do everything you might do with the software that would otherwise infringe the licensor's copyright in it for any permitted purpose. However, you may only distribute the software according to Distribution License and make changes or new works based on the software according to Changes and New Works License.
🔗Distribution License
The licensor grants you an additional copyright license to distribute copies of the software. Your license to distribute covers distributing the software with changes and new works permitted by Changes and New Works License.
🔗Notices
You must ensure that anyone who gets a copy of any part of the software from you also gets a copy of these terms, or the URL from above and copies of any plain-text lines beginning with Required Notice: that the licensor provided with the software. For example:
Required Notice: Copyright 2023 Yoyodyne, Inc.
🔗Changes and New Works License
The licensor grants you an additional copyright license to make changes and new works based on the software for any permitted purpose.
🔗Submission of Contributions
Unless you explicitly state otherwise in writing, any software changes, patches, or new works intentionally submitted by you to the licensor for inclusion in the software shall grant the licensor a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable right to use, distribute, modify, sublicense, and commercially exploit those contributions across all official distributions of the software.
🔗Patent License
The licensor grants you a patent license for the software that covers patent claims the licensor can license, or becomes able to license, that you would infringe by using the software.
🔗Noncommercial Purposes
Any noncommercial purpose is a permitted purpose.
🔗Personal Uses
Personal use for research, experiment, and testing for the benefit of public knowledge, personal study, private entertainment, hobby projects, amateur pursuits, or religious observance, without any anticipated commercial application, is use for a permitted purpose.
🔗Noncommercial Organizations
Use by any charitable organization, educational institution, public research organization, public safety or health organization, environmental protection organization, or government institution is use for a permitted purpose regardless of the source of funding or obligations resulting from the funding.
🔗Fair Use
You may have "fair use" rights for the software under the law. These terms do not limit them.
🔗Commercial Non-Interference
While any noncommercial purpose is a permitted purpose, your licenses do not grant you the right to directly interfere with, circumvent, or degrade the licensor's commercial exploitation of the software. Specifically:
- You may independently develop, host, operate, and distribute customized endpoints, apps or clients for permitted noncommercial purposes.
- You may not distribute modified versions of the software that intercept, spoof, or disable commercial functions such as integrated transaction verifications, digital entitlement ledgers, or advertisement frameworks contained within distributions of the software.
- Official commerce, purchases, and entitlements must remain exclusively bound to the licensor’s official commercial endpoints. You may not emulate or re-route official endpoints for the purpose of granting unauthorized access to any paid features.
🔗Service Integrity
You may not use or modify the software to evade, circumvent, or bypass any account suspension, machine or device ban, or access restriction enforced by the licensor across official networks, ecosystems, or distributions.
Independent servers, custom endpoints, or external apps created under these terms operate completely separate from official gameplay. These environments are not required to report activity to the licensor, and the licensor maintains no administrative oversight, monitoring, or moderation authority over them. The licensor is not liable for any conduct, community management, or content within independent environments, and the official software shall not be reviewed, evaluated, or judged based on moderation activity occurring outside the licensor's direct control.
🔗No Other Rights
These terms do not allow you to sublicense or transfer any of your licenses to anyone else, or prevent the licensor from granting licenses to anyone else. These terms do not imply any other licenses.
🔗Patent Defense
If you make any written claim that the software infringes or contributes to infringement of any patent, your patent license for the software granted under these terms ends immediately. If your company makes such a claim, your patent license ends immediately for work on behalf of your company.
🔗Violations
The first time you are notified in writing that you have violated any of these terms, or done anything with the software not covered by your licenses, your licenses can nonetheless continue if you come into full compliance with these terms, and take practical steps to correct past violations, within 32 days of receiving notice. Otherwise, all your licenses end immediately.
🔗No Liability
As far as the law allows, the software comes as is, without any warranty or condition, and the licensor will not be liable to you for any damages arising out of these terms or the use or nature of the software, under any kind of legal claim.
