GREEN WHALE STUDIOS’ END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (EULA)
In order for us (Green Whale Studios) to ensure the protection of our company’s legal rights and out games, you (the user) must agree to and abide by this, the “End User License Agreement” or the “EULA”, in order to use any of our property or games. Breaking these rules may cause us to have to stop you from using our property or games, may result in a refusal to allow contact to our support team, and, if necessary, may result in legal action.
By purchasing, playing or using our property or games, you agree to follow the rules of these EULA terms. If you do not wish to agree or cannot for any reason, then you must not purchase, play, or use or property or games. Your permission to use our games or other content or property may be revoked if any terms of this EULA are broken. We reserve the right to edit this EULA at any time, and although we will usually make some form of an announcement, we may not give any notice, and we are not obligated to give notice, at our discretion. We will usually wait 24 to 48 hours before enforcing any new changes to the EULA, but this is also not a guarantee.
USE OF OUR CONTENT
Do not make commercial use of anything we’ve made or own without our direct and specific permission. We reserve the right to revoke any permission we give. You may not distribute, redistribute, make copies of, or distribute edited versions of our games, including making commercial use of anything we’ve made, trying to make money from anything we’ve made, or giving copies of our games or other property to anybody else, unless we’ve specifically agreed to it. This includes ALL aspects of our games or property, including music, sounds, textures/images, code, updated versions, modified versions of our games, or any part of those things. This applies to anything else we make, too.
Our games or property are meant for your private and personal use on your computer or other device/console.
You may modify the game using modifications or tools. However, you may not use or distribute hacked clients, hacked versions, or edited (in any way) versions of our game, or anything that gives users an unfair or unreasonable form of our property. Any mods you make for the game belong to you and are your property (although, see ‘USER-CREATED CONTENT’), but do not sell them or break the EULA through them. If any modification or edit done to the game causes the game to function incorrectly, support is not obligated to help, and you will not be given a new copy.
USER-CREATED CONTENT
By making content through or with our game or property, such as modifications, videos, screenshots, or other forms of user-made content using or made with/through our games or property, you give us the permanent and irrevocable ability to use your content. This includes adaptations, editing, copying, modifying, publicly displaying, distributing, reformatting, or any other use of your content. We will not directly sell what you make without your permission (although, for example, if we decide to use a clip from your video in a trailer, we may monetize our trailer) and some form of credit will always be given.
You are free to make:
Fan Art/Sites
Modifications (ONLY the actual modification by itself - not modified versions of our games)
“Clones” of our games (these are NOT modified versions of our games - these are games that you fully made by yourself without the use of our property)
Videos
Screenshots
Songs
Remixes of our soundtracks or sound effects
(This list is subject to change. If something you would like to make is not listed here, please either contact us regarding it, or assume you are not allowed to make it)
However, you may not make commercial use of the content (example: advertisements or monetization on videos or an optional payed membership on your fan site is allowed, paying to watch, use, or visit is not allowed) or break any part of the EULA through the content, such as taking screenshots of just textures or allowing users to download modified versions of our game. Also, user-created content can not be illegal.
As a rule of thumb, make sure what you make follows these rules:
It is in full compliance with the EULA or any other legal documents or notices.
It cannot be interpreted or advertised as official without our direct consent.
If it uses any of our content or anything we own, you must not make commercial use or take credit for what we’ve made.
BUGS AND UPDATES
We are in no way obligated to make updates, bug fixes, or changes to any of our games. While you can normally expect that we want to keep games error-free, we have no guarantee our games will be bug-free, or that we will fix bugs that are found. We are not responsible for any damage that our products may cause. However, we do guarantee you that we will never intentionally put any dangerous or damaging bugs into our games.
In addition, if you modify your game or use a modified or pirated version of a game, we are in no way obligated to help you if the game has bugs or is unplayable due to the modifications made.
