TERMS

Oinkscape is a game made by one person. These terms are the agreement between you and its publisher (“we”, “us”) covering the game, this website, and the online service behind them. Installing the game or creating an account means you accept them.

1. Who this is between

The service is operated by the publisher named in the legal notice, acting as a professional (professionnel) within the meaning of the French Consumer Code. That notice has the identity, registration and contact details.

If you are a consumer, you have rights under consumer law that these terms cannot reduce. Where anything below conflicts with them, your legal rights win.

2. Age

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under the age of digital consent where you live — 15 in France, and between 13 and 16 elsewhere in the EU — you also need a parent or guardian's permission, and by registering you confirm you have it.

If we learn that an account belongs to someone below the minimum age, we delete it. A parent or guardian can ask us to do the same at any time through the contact address in the legal notice.

3. Your account

• One person, one account. Keep your password to yourself.
• You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us promptly if you think someone else is using it.
• Pick a username that isn't impersonating someone, isn't a slur, and isn't deliberately offensive. We may rename an account that is.
• You can change your email, change your password, turn on two-factor authentication and delete your account yourself, from account settings.

4. How to behave

Don't do any of the following, in game, in chat, or on this site:

• harass, threaten, insult, stalk or bully anyone;
• post or upload content that is hateful, sexual, violent, illegal, or that infringes someone else's copyright;
• cheat, exploit bugs, or use anything that gives you an unfair advantage;
• disrupt the service — flooding, spamming, scraping, probing for vulnerabilities, or trying to overload it;
• impersonate another player or claim to speak for us;
• sell, buy or trade accounts, cosmetics or ranks.

Skins, capes and profile text you upload are yours, and you keep owning them. You give us permission to store and display them wherever the service needs to — in game, on your profile, on the leaderboard — for as long as you keep them uploaded. Don't upload artwork you don't have the right to use. If a copyright owner contacts us at the address in the legal notice, we will take the content down.

5. The software is not open source

Oinkscape, its source code, and its artwork, textures, sounds, maps, fonts, models, name and logo are the property of the publisher and are protected by copyright. You get a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and play the game. You get nothing else.

In particular, you may not:

• copy, publish, redistribute, sell, rent or sublicense the game or its assets;
• modify, patch or adapt it, or make derivative works, modified clients or asset replacements;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it;
• inject code into it, hook it, attach a debugger to it, or alter the memory of a running copy;
• circumvent, or help anyone circumvent, the checks that decide which cosmetics an account may use;
• remove or hide any copyright or attribution notice;
• use it or any part of it to train a machine-learning model.

Where the law gives you a right that an agreement cannot remove — notably the right under Articles 5 and 6 of Directive 2009/24/EC to make a back-up and to decompile so far as necessary for interoperability — this clause does not try to take it away. Clause 6 is about connecting to our service, which is a different question.

6. Modified clients

Access to the online service is granted to the official, unmodified client. Connecting with anything else — a modified or recompiled build, an injected module, a proxy that alters traffic, an automated client — is not authorised, whatever the intent behind it, and is a serious breach of these terms.

Where an account has connected with a modified client, we may reset its statistics, remove its cosmetics and close it, under clause 7. That is a termination for breach: none of the records attached to the account are preserved.

7. Suspension and closure

We may suspend or close an account, and withdraw access to the online service, where we judge in good faith that it is necessary to protect other players, the integrity of the game, or the service itself. That judgement is ours to make. We do not have to prove a case to the standard a court would use before acting, and we may act on the pattern of someone's behaviour rather than on a single incident — a service this size cannot run a tribunal, and being obliged to would mean tolerating conduct that drives everyone else away.

Where it is practical and won't make matters worse, we'll tell you what happened. You can write and ask us to look at it again; we read those, and we do sometimes change our minds. The decision is ours.

Nothing here affects your right to go to court, or to complain to a data-protection authority about how your personal data is handled — see the privacy policy.

You can close your own account at any time from account settings. The account stays recoverable for 14 days, then it and its data are permanently deleted.

8. The service may change or stop

If we ever shut the online service down for good, we will tell you. That is a commitment, not an intention: you will get at least 30 days' notice by email and in the news feed before it happens. The offline parts of the game will keep working on any copy you have already downloaded.

The same goes for anything else that disappears permanently — a cosmetic, a game mode, a platform we stop supporting. It gets announced in the news feed rather than quietly removed.

Short of that, Oinkscape is made and run by one person: the game, the website and the servers may change or go down for maintenance, and we don't promise a particular uptime figure.

We may add, change or retire individual cosmetics and features.

9. Guarantees and limits on liability

Beyond what the law requires, the game and the service are provided as is and as available.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost progress, lost statistics, lost cosmetics, data loss, service interruption, or indirect or consequential loss.

Nothing here excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, for the legal guarantee of conformity, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. If a court finds any part of these terms unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.

10. Your data

What we collect, why, how long we keep it and what rights you have is set out in the privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.

11. Other people's work

Oinkscape is built on open-source libraries and includes community texture packs used with their authors' permission. They are credited, with their licences, on the licences page. Oinkscape is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Mojang Studios, Microsoft, Hypixel or The Hive.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top changes when we do, and anything material is announced in the news feed. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the new version.

13. Law, complaints and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer resident in the EU, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of your own country's law, and you may bring proceedings in your own country's courts.

Please write to us first — most things are a misunderstanding and get sorted out in an email.
