Tankrite End User License Agreement (EULA)

Last updated: [DATE]

This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is between you and [YOUR LEGAL NAME], trading as Dynamika, [STREET, POSTCODE CITY, COUNTRY], hello@tankrite.com ("Dynamika", "we", "us"). It governs your use of the game Tankrite, including its online services, updates, content and websites (together, the "Game").

By installing, accessing or playing the Game, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or play the Game. This Agreement applies in addition to the Steam Subscriber Agreement. If the two conflict on a matter concerning Steam, the Steam Subscriber Agreement prevails.

1. Age

You must be at least 13 years old to play. If you are younger than the age of digital consent in your country (for example 16 in Germany), or younger than the age of majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review and accept this Agreement and consent to our Privacy Policy on your behalf.

2. License

2.1 We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install and play the Game for your own non-commercial entertainment, subject to this Agreement.

2.2 The Game is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors keep all rights, title and interest in the Game, including all code, art, audio, names, logos, virtual items and other content.

2.3 Streaming and videos: you may stream, record and publish videos and screenshots of the Game, including monetized videos on platforms like YouTube or Twitch, as long as you do not suggest official endorsement and do not distribute the Game itself.

3. Restrictions

Except where the law expressly allows it, you must not:

  1. copy, sell, rent, sublicense or distribute the Game or any part of it;
  2. reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Game, or circumvent any technical protection or anti-cheat measure;
  3. use cheats, hacks, aimbots, bots, macros, automation, exploits or any unauthorized third-party software that gives an advantage or interferes with the Game or other players;
  4. exploit bugs instead of reporting them, or deliberately disrupt servers or matches (including denial-of-service attacks or intentional lag);
  5. sell, buy, trade or transfer accounts, crystals, items or other virtual content for real money or anything of value outside the Game;
  6. use the Game for any unlawful purpose.

Mods created with our official modding tools and published under Section 7 are allowed.

4. Accounts And Online Service

4.1 Tankrite is an online game. Your Tankrite account is created and linked automatically through your Steam account. You are responsible for all activity on your account. Keep your Steam account secure.

4.2 Progress, ranks, crystals, items and statistics are stored on our servers. Matches played alone, against bots only, or offline are practice and do not award progress or rewards.

4.3 We may change, update, add or remove features, content, maps, balance values, modes and rewards at any time. Updates may be required to keep playing online.

4.4 We aim to keep the online service available, but it may be interrupted for maintenance, updates or reasons beyond our control. We may end the online service in the future. If we do, we will give at least [60] days' notice in the Game or on the Steam store page where reasonably possible.

5. Virtual Currency, Items And Reward Crates

5.1 Crystals, experience, ranks, upgrades, cosmetic items and other virtual content ("Virtual Items") are part of the licensed Game. They are not your property, have no monetary value, and cannot be redeemed for real money or anything of value, except where the law requires otherwise.

5.2 Crystals can only be earned by playing. They cannot be bought.

5.3 Reward crates are given free after completed online matches. They are never sold, need no keys, cannot be traded, and their drop odds are published in the Game.

5.4 [IF YOU ADD A STORE:] Optional purchases through Steam are limited to cosmetic items and supporter packs that give no gameplay advantage. Purchases and refunds are handled by Steam under Steam's terms. Your statutory consumer rights are not affected.

5.5 We may adjust, rebalance or rename Virtual Items. If we remove a purchased cosmetic item permanently, we will offer a reasonable replacement where possible.

6. Player Conduct, Chat And Moderation

6.1 Treat other players with respect. Do not harass, threaten, dox, impersonate, spam, or post hateful, sexual, illegal or extremist content. Do not share other people's personal data.

6.2 The Game has player and staff moderation (mutes, kicks, temporary and permanent bans) and a report system. Chat is not filtered automatically, so you can mute players and report abuse.

6.3 If you break this Agreement, we may warn you, mute you, reset progress gained through cheating or exploits, or suspend or terminate your account, depending on how serious the violation is. You can appeal a ban by contacting hello@tankrite.com.

7. User Content: Maps, Mods, Photos And Clips

7.1 The Game lets you create and share content, such as maps from the map builder, mod packs, presets, tactic boards, photos, clips, clan emblems and chat messages ("User Content").

7.2 You keep ownership of your User Content. By sharing it in or through the Game, including the Steam Workshop, contests, the showcase or modded servers, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, display, distribute, adapt (for example resize or re-texture) and use it in the Game and to promote the Game.

7.3 If your map or mod wins a contest and is chosen as official content, we will credit you. We will agree any further terms with you before it becomes official.

7.4 You confirm that your User Content is your own work, or that you have the right to use it, and that it does not infringe anyone's rights. You must not upload content copied from other games, including their maps, models, names, sounds or text.

7.5 We may remove User Content that breaks this Agreement or the law.

7.6 Script mods (packs containing code) are disabled by default. They run only after you explicitly trust them, and never on official servers. You use them at your own risk.

7.7 Modded servers hosted by players are not operated by us. Modded battles give no rewards.

8. Privacy

We process personal data (for example your Steam ID, player name, chat messages, match statistics and technical data for anti-cheat) to run the Game. Details are in our Privacy Policy: https://tankrite.com/privacy.html.

9. Anti-Cheat

The Game uses server-side anti-cheat that checks movement, damage and results reported by game clients. It installs no kernel drivers or system-level software.

10. Third-Party Software

The Game is built with the Godot Engine (MIT license) and includes other open-source components. Their licenses and notices are listed in the Game's credits / licenses screen.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Game at any time and ask us to delete your account at hello@tankrite.com. We may end this license if you seriously or repeatedly break this Agreement. When the license ends, you must stop using the Game. Sections 2.2, 5.1, 7.2, 12, 13 and 14 survive termination.

12. Warranty

To the extent permitted by law, the Game is provided "as is" and "as available", and may contain bugs, especially during Early Access. Nothing in this Agreement limits the statutory warranty rights that consumers have under the laws of their country of residence.

13. Liability

13.1 We are fully liable for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and where mandatory law (for example product liability laws) provides for liability.

13.2 For slight negligence, we are liable only for breaches of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of this Agreement possible in the first place). Our liability is then limited to the typical, foreseeable damage.

13.3 Otherwise, to the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, lost profits or loss of Virtual Items.

14. Governing Law And Disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of [COUNTRY, e.g. the Federal Republic of Germany], excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence. The EU Commission's online dispute resolution platform is available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obliged or willing to take part in dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration board. [Check this sentence with your lawyer.]

15. Changes To This Agreement

We may update this Agreement, for example when we add new features or when laws change. We will announce material changes in the Game at least [30] days before they take effect. If you keep playing after that, you accept the updated Agreement. If you do not agree, you can stop playing and delete your account.

16. Miscellaneous

If any part of this Agreement is invalid, the rest stays in effect. This Agreement, the Privacy Policy and the Steam Subscriber Agreement are the entire agreement between you and us about the Game. We may transfer this Agreement to a successor, for example if Tankrite is taken over by a company.
