5. Intellectual Property
All content within the Services — including but not limited to games, software, music, artwork, video, text, logos, trademarks, game characters, world lore, and UI elements — is the exclusive property of Russet Studio or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes. This licence does not include the right to reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, or otherwise exploit any content without our prior written consent.
Fan art, fan fiction, and non-commercial community content created in the spirit of our games and worlds is generally welcomed. Commercial use of Russet Studio intellectual property always requires prior written authorisation.
6. User-Generated Content
Some Services may allow you to submit or share content such as reviews, comments, forum posts, screenshots, videos, or community creations ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant Russet Studio a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, and display that content in connection with the Services and our promotional activities.
You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to submit your User Content and that it does not infringe any third-party rights. You are solely responsible for your User Content and must not submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, obscene, or that infringes any third-party rights.
We reserve the right to remove, edit, or refuse any User Content at our discretion and without prior notice. Removal of content does not constitute a waiver of any rights we may have.
7. Virtual Goods & Digital Content
The Services may include virtual items, currencies, and other digital content ("Virtual Goods"), including but not limited to: in-game cosmetics, mounts, pets, character skins, emotes, virtual currency, loot boxes, season passes, downloadable content (DLC), and Founder Packs.
You acknowledge and agree that:
- Virtual Goods are licensed to you, not sold. You do not own Virtual Goods; you receive a limited, revocable licence to use them within the Services.
- Virtual Goods have no real-world monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash or cash equivalents unless expressly stated.
- Virtual Goods are not transferable between accounts except through officially supported systems.
- Russet Studio may modify, rebalance, remove, or discontinue Virtual Goods at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you.
- Any Virtual Goods associated with a terminated or banned account may be forfeited.
- Russet Studio reserves the right to manage, adjust, and maintain virtual economies to ensure a balanced experience for all players.
All purchases of Virtual Goods are final. Refund eligibility is governed by our Refund Policy.
8. Digital Purchases & Refunds
All purchases of digital products — including games, downloadable content, soundtracks, and Virtual Goods — are generally final. We will review refund requests on a case-by-case basis in accordance with applicable consumer protection law and our Refund Policy.
Physical merchandise is subject to a separate return policy available at the time of purchase. Russet Studio is not responsible for delays or losses caused by third-party shipping carriers.
Chargebacks initiated outside of our refund process may result in account suspension pending investigation.

- Character progress, save data, and in-game items may be reset, wiped, or modified at any time
- Features shown or described during beta are not guaranteed to appear in the final release
- Participation in beta or early access does not guarantee access to the final product

Purchases made during early access are subject to our Refund Policy. We make no guarantees regarding the final state of any early access product.
10. Online Services & Availability
Certain features of our games and Services require an internet connection and rely on online infrastructure that we operate. You acknowledge that:
- Online features may be modified, limited, or discontinued at any time

We reserve the right to shut down, retire, or migrate online services as needed for operational, legal, or technical reasons.
11. Third-Party Links & Services
The Services may contain links to third-party websites or integrate third-party services such as payment processors, social platforms, streaming services, or analytics providers. These are provided for convenience only. Russet Studio has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party services you use in connection with ours.
12. DMCA & Copyright Infringement

13. Termination & Suspension
Russet Studio reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or permanently terminate your access to any or all of the Services at our sole discretion, with or without notice, for any reason — including but not limited to:

- Fraudulent, abusive, or harmful conduct
- Chargebacks or disputed payments
- Legal requirements or law enforcement requests
- Extended periods of account inactivity
In severe cases — such as cheating, harassment, fraud, or abuse — termination may occur immediately and without prior warning. Upon termination, your licence to use the Services ends immediately, and you may lose access to account data, Virtual Goods, and any purchased content associated with the account.
You may close your account at any time by contacting us. Account closure does not entitle you to a refund of purchases unless required by applicable law.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
Russet Studio does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components. Your use of the Services is entirely at your own risk. No advice or information obtained from Russet Studio or through the Services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Russet Studio and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, goodwill, in-game progress, or Virtual Goods — arising out of or related to your use of the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising under these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to Russet Studio in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) $100 USD.
16. Force Majeure
Russet Studio shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government actions, power failures, internet outages, distributed denial-of-service attacks, third-party service failures, or other events outside our reasonable control. In such circumstances, our obligations will be suspended for the duration of the event.
17. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Russet Studio is registered, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that jurisdiction. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
