Terms & Conidtions

In order to protect DSOTM (our "Mod") and the members of our community, we utilize these terms of agreement to set out some rules for using our Mod. This license is a legal agreement between you and us (DSOTMMC LLC) and describes the terms and conditions for using the server. We don't like reading license documents any more than you do, so we have tried to keep this as short as possible. If you break these rules we may stop you from using our server. If we think it is necessary, we might even have to ask our lawyers to help out.

If you buy, download, use or play our Mod, you are agreeing to stick to the rules of these end user license agreement ("EULA") terms. If you don't want to or can't agree to these rules, then you must not buy, download, use or play our Mod. This EULA incorporates the terms of use for the mojang.com website ("Account Terms"), our brand and asset usage guidelines, our privacy policy, and, if you live in the United States, our Arbitration Agreement. By agreeing to this EULA you also agree to all of the terms of the foregoing documents, so please read through them carefully.

BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
[IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES]

For those that who live in the United States, please click here to review the binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver that is part of this EULA. Under the agreement, we both agree to use a neutral arbitrator to decide any individual claims that may arise and thus agree to waive our rights to bring individual claims in court for consideration by a judge or jury. We also agree that class action lawsuits and class-wide arbitrations are not allowed under the terms of the agreement.

The complete Arbitration Agreement is on this page. You and we agree to it; please read it.

ONE MAJOR RULE

The one major rule is that you must not distribute anything we've made unless we specifically agree to it. By "distribute anything we've made" what we mean is:

• give copies of our server to anyone else;

• make commercial use of anything we've made;

• try to make money from anything we've made; or

• let other people get access to anything we've made in a way that is unfair or unreasonable;

unless we specifically agree to it. And so that we are crystal clear, "the server" or "what we have made" includes, but is not limited to, the client or the server software and includes DSOTM and DSOTMMC on all platforms. It also includes updates, patches, downloadable content, add-ons, or modified versions of the server, part of those things, or anything else we've made.

Otherwise we are quite relaxed about what you do - in fact we really encourage you to do cool stuff - but just don't do those things that we say you can't.

USING OUR SERVER

You have been granted a license to the server so you can play and use it, yourself, on your devices.

Below we also give you limited rights to do other things but we have to draw a line somewhere or else people will go too far. If you wish to make something pertaining to anything we've made we're humbled, but please make sure that it can't be interpreted as being official and that it complies with this EULA,
and the brand and asset usage guidelines, and above all do not make commercial use of anything we've made.

The license and permission we give you to use and play our server can be revoked if you break any of the terms of this EULA.

When you play our server, you receive a license that gives you permission to install the resources for our server on your own personal device and use and play it on that device as set out in this EULA. This permission is personal to you, so you are not allowed to distribute the server (or any part of it) to anyone else, or modify it. This also means you cannot sell or rent the server(Unless it is through a DSOTM authorized retailer.), scamming player for in game or real world currency, and you cannot pass on or resell any license keys. You may however give gift codes that have been bought through our official gift code system. This is important to help us stop piracy and fraud and to protect our server. It is also important to prevent members of our community from buying duped items, getting scammed on our server, or breaking any of our Minecraft Server's rules.

If you've played the server, you may play around with anything you have access to and use it. however adding modifications, tools, or client side plugins, which we will refer to collectively as "Mods." By "Mods," we mean something originally that you or someone else created that doesn't contain a substantial part of our copyrightable code or content. When you combine your Mod with the Minecraft server, we will call that combination a "Modified Server Version" of the server. We have the final say on what constitutes a Mod and what doesn't. We also have the say on what constitutes a malicious mod. You may not distribute any Modified Versions of our server content or software, and we’d appreciate it if you didn’t use Mods for griefing. Basically, Mods are okay, but not okay to distribute. Malicious hacked versions or Modified Versions of the server software are definitely not okay to distribute. Encrypted resources are definitely not okay to distribute, and should not be decrypted. Violations of these terms will lead to a permanent termination of this EULA.

If you have purchased content on the server, you may not refund your purchase, upon refund or payment cancelation This EULA permanently terminate.

Within reason you're free to do whatever you want with screenshots and videos of the server. By "within reason" we mean that you can't make any commercial use of them or do things that are unfair or adversely affect our rights unless we've specifically said it's okay in this EULA, allowed it through the Brand and Asset Usage Guidelines, or provided for it in a specific agreement with you. If you upload videos of the server to video sharing and streaming sites you are however allowed to put ads on them. Also, don't just rip art resources and pass them around, that's no fun.

Essentially the simple rule is do not make commercial use of anything we've made unless we've specifically said it's okay. Oh and if the law expressly allows it, such as under a "fair use" or fair dealing" doctrine then that's ok too - but only to the extent that the law applicable to you says so.

In order to ensure the integrity of the server, we need all server downloads and updates to come from an authorized source. It's also important for us that 3rd party tools/services don't seem "official" as we can't guarantee their quality. It's part of the responsibility we have to the customers of Minecraft. Make sure that you read through our brand and asset usage guidelines too. If you;d like to develop content for DSOTM please contact us at contact@dsotmmc.net

OWNERSHIP OF OUR SERVER AND OTHER THINGS

Although we license you permission to install on your device and play our server, we are still the owners of it. We are also the owners of our brands and any content contained in the server. Therefore, when you play, or pay for our server, you are using a license to play / use our server and any content related to our
in accordance with this EULA. - you are not buying the server itself. The only permissions you have in connection with the server and your use of the permissions granted by the server, of it are the permissions set out in this EULA.

Any Mods you create for the server from scratch belong to you (including pre-run Mods and in-memory Mods) and you can do whatever you want with them, as long as you don't sell them for money / try to make money from them and so long as you don’t distribute Modified Server Versions or any content from our server. Remember that a Mod means something that is your original work and that does not contain a substantial part of our code or content. You only own what you created; you do not own our code, content, or brand.

CONTENT

If you make any content available on or through our server, you agree to give us permission to use, copy, modify, adapt, distribute, and publicly display that content. This permission is irrevocable, and you also agree to let us permit other people to use, copy, modify, adapt, distribute, and publicly display your content. You are not giving up your ownership rights in your content, you are just giving us and other users permission to use it. For example, we may need to copy, reformat, and distribute content that you post on our discord so others can read it. If you don't want to give us these permissions, do not make content available on or through our server. Please think carefully before you make any content available, because it may be made public and might even be used by other people in a way you don't like.

If you are going to make something available on or through our server, it must not be offensive to people or illegal, it must be honest, and it must be your own creation. Some examples of the types of things you must not make available using our server include: posts that include racist or homophobic language; posts that are bullying or trolling; posts that are offensive or that damage our or another person's reputation; posts that include porn or someone else's creation or image; or posts that impersonate a moderator or try to trick or exploit people.

Any content you make available on our server must also be your creation or you must have permission or the legal right to do it. You must not and you agree that you will not make any content available, using the server that infringes the rights of others. '

We reserve the right to take down any content in our discretion.

Please watch out if you are talking to people in our server. It is hard for either you or us to know for sure that what people say is true,
or even if people are really who they say they are. You should think twice about giving out information about yourself on DSOTM.

UPDATES

We might make upgrades, updates or patches (we call them all "updates") available from time to time, but we don't have to. We are also not obliged to provide ongoing support or maintenance of any server. Of course, we hope to continue to release new updates for our server, we just can't guarantee that we will do so. With updates come changes that might not work well with other software, such as Mods. This is unfortunate, but it is something we don’t take responsibility for. If that is the case, try running an older version.

OUR LIABILITY, GOVERNING LAW, AND PLACE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES

The terms of this EULA do not affect any legal (statutory) rights that you may have under the law that applies to you for the server. You might have certain rights which the law that applies to you says cannot be excluded. Nothing we say in these terms will affect those legal rights, even if we say something which sounds like it contradicts your legal rights. That’s what we mean when we say “subject to applicable law”.

SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, When you gain access to our server, we provide it "'as is"'. Updates are also provided "'as is"'. This means that we are not making any promises to you about the standard or quality of our server, or that our server will be uninterrupted or error free. We are not responsible for any loss or damage that it may cause. You bear the entire risk as to its quality and performance. You have to accept that we may release server well before they are complete and so they may (and often will) have bugs -but we prefer to release these features early than make you wait for perfection. If you would like to notify us about a potential bug, we have a site for that here.

If you and we ever have a dispute in court (and we hope that won't happen just as much as you do), the exclusive forum (that is, the place it will be handled) will be a state or federal court in King County, WA (if you live in the United States) or a court in Ontario (if you live in Canada). (If you live in the United States, most disputes go to arbitration, not court.) The laws of your state or province govern this EULA and all disputes, including disputes relating to it, our server, or our Website, regardless of conflict of laws principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs everything related to arbitration.

TERMINATION

If we want we can terminate this EULA if you breach any of the terms. You can terminate it too, at any time; all you have to do is disconnect, remove our server from your Minecraft client and your device and the EULA will be terminated. If the EULA is terminated by DSOTM or out legal team, you will no longer have any of the rights to the server given in this license. You do still have the right to your copy of Minecraft and Minecraft Java Edition, just not the server of course.
The Arbitration Agreement (if you live in the United States) and the paragraphs about "Ownership of Our Server", "Our Liability" and "General Stuff" will continue to apply even after the EULA is terminated. If any user terminates their EULA at any point in time, its okay, your termination will not be permanent,

GENERAL STUFF

Your local law may give you rights that this EULA cannot change; if so, this EULA applies as far as the law allows. Nothing in this license limits our liability for death or bodily injury resulting from our negligence or fraudulent misrepresentations.

We may change this EULA from time to time, if we have reason to, such as changes to our server, our practices, or our legal obligation. But those changes will be effective only to the extent that they can legally apply. For example if you use the server only in single-player mode and don't use the updates we make available then the old EULA applies but if you do use the updates or use parts of the server that rely on our providing ongoing online services then the new EULA will apply. In that case we'll inform you of the change before it takes effect, either by posting a notice on our Website or by other reasonable means. We're not going to be unfair about this though - but sometimes the law changes or someone does something that affects other users of the server and we therefore need to put a lid on it.

If you come to us with a suggestion for any one of our Websites or servers, that suggestion is made for free and we have no obligation to accept or consider it. This means we can use or not use your suggestion in any way we want and we don't have to pay you for it. If you think you have a suggestion that we would be willing to pay you for, please do not submit your suggestion unless you have first told us you expect to be paid and we have responded in writing by asking you to submit the suggestion.

We hope this helps and if you have any questions feel free to contact us at mgmt@dsotmmc.net
