2.2         If you are under 18 years of age, please ask your parent or guardian to review and approve this EULA on your behalf (because in some countries people under the age of 18 cannot legally enter into contracts like this EULA).

2.3         Please read this EULA carefully because it is an important document. If you have any queries, please contact [email protected].

2.4         You confirm your agreement to this EULA and our Privacy Policy https://wftogame.com/privacy-policy by accepting it as part of the installation/activation process of WFTO or using WFTO in any way.

3. Using the software

3.1          In return for your acceptance of the terms of this EULA and the Privacy Policy we give you the personal right (known as a “licence”) to install and play WFTO. This licence is for your personal use only. We can terminate this licence in certain circumstances, which are explained further below. This licence is “non-exclusive”, meaning that we can grant similar licences to other people as well.

3.2         You may not transfer this licence or give anyone else a licence to use WFTO in any way unless we agree in writing beforehand.

3.3         By installing WFTO or playing it online you agree that this game is supplied on an “as is” basis, may contain bugs or issues with performance and may not be in its finished form.

 

4. Game components used under licence

4.1 Platforms

4.1.1      In order to use the multiplayer functions of WFTO you will need to have an account with Valve Software’s Steam service (“Steam”) or GOG Galaxy service (“GOG”). You should familiarise yourself with the terms and conditions of the Steam service and GOG service where applicable. Steam and/or GOG may require you to take further steps in order to use WFTO. We are not responsible for performance or the contents of any contract between you and Steam and/or GOG that may affect your ability to use WFTO.

4.2 Unity Technologies

4.2.1      WFTO incorporates certain software modules used under licence from Unity Technologies, of 345 Broadway Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, CA 94133, USA (“Unity”). As a condition of the licence these modules may make Internet connections and report information back to Unity to (i) check for software updates; (ii) provide aggregated usage statistics; and (iii) to validate licence keys in order to prevent unauthorised use.

6.1          From time to time, we may at our discretion deploy or provide patches, updates, additional content or other modifications to WFTO (for example to enhance online gameplay, to add new features or to resolve software bugs). You grant us your consent to deploy and apply such patches, updates or other modifications to WFTO automatically.

6.2         From time to time, we may also at our discretion remove or suspend access to particular features, content or other parts of WFTO. (We need these rights in order to keep WFTO running efficiently, because practically we cannot ask you in advance for approval of any patches, updates or other modifications or the removal of any features or content from WFTO).

7.6         While liability for Prohibited Content remains with the individual or group who has created it, we reserve the right to take steps against any individual or group who creates or distributes Prohibited Content with the aim of preventing them from continuing to do so, and removing the Prohibited Content.
