22 +What You Get For Purchasing
23 +
24 +When you purchase Minecraft you do so as is, be it in the early stages of
25 +development or already fully released. Subsequent updates are only an added
26 +bonus and not a guarantee, as icing on a cake. Purchases during the development
27 +of the game are discounted and include the full game upon release.
28 +
29 +As we at Mojang strive towards releasing updates for our projects we cannot
30 +guarantee that any project will ever be completed and/or provided support for.
31 +There's always the risk of a project being discontinued at any time.
32 +
33 +The One Major Rule
34 +
35 +Do not distribute anything we've made. This includes, but not limited to, the
36 +client or the server software for the game. This also includes modified versions
37 +of anything we've made. Also, you may not resell any gift codes or licence keys
38 +- but of course you can give gift codes as gifts. This is necessary so that we
39 +can help stop piracy and fraud - and especially users buying keys that have been
40 +fraudulently obtained.
41 +
42 +In order to ensure integrity of the game, we need all game downloads to come
43 +from a single central source: us. We hope you understand. It's also important
44 +for us that 3rd party tools/services don't seem "too official" as we can't
45 +guarantee their quality. Make sure to read through our brand guidelines. If you
46 +wish to make something pertaining to anything we've made we're humbled, but
47 +please make sure that it can't be interpreted as being official. Do not make
48 +commercial use of anything we've made unless specifically authorized by us in
49 +our brand and assets usage guidelines (which you should read as each of these
50 +policies form part of these Terms of Use).
51 +
52 +What You Can Do
53 +
54 +If you've bought the game, you may play around with it and modify it. We'd
55 +appreciate it if you didn't use this for griefing, though, and remember not to
56 +distribute the changed versions of our software. Basically, mods (or plugins, or
57 +tools) are cool (you can distribute those), hacked versions of the Minecraft
58 +client or server are not (you can't distribute those).
59 +
60 +Any tools you write for the game from scratch belongs to you. Other than
61 +commercial use (unless specifically authorized by us in our brand and assets
62 +usage guidelines - for instance you are allowed to put ads on your YouTube
63 +videos containing Minecraft footage), you're free to do whatever you want with
64 +screenshots and videos of the game, but don't just rip art resources and pass
65 +them around, that's no fun. Plugins for the game also belong to you and you can
66 +do whatever you want with them, as long as you don't sell them for money. We
67 +reserve the final say regarding what constitutes a tool/plugin and what doesn't.
68 +
69 +Other
70 +
71 +We reserve the right to change this agreement at any time with or without notice,
72 +with immediate and/or retroactive effect.
73 +
74 +Any suggestions made are assumed to be offered for free unless otherwise agreed
75 +before the suggestion was made. We're not going to put up a huge EULA. We're
76 +trying to be open and honest, and we hope people treat us the same way back.
77 +
78 +If there's anything legal you're wondering about that isn't answered from this
79 +page, don't do it and ask us about it. Basically, don't be ridiculous and we won't.

83 +Privacy Policy
84 +
85 +When you purchase a game from us, you fill in your personal/company details. You
86 +agree that we store and use your information in our organization to complete the
87 +agreement towards you. You have the right, according to the law
88 +Personuppgiftslagen (PUL) in Sweden to know about the information registered
89 +about you. If it is wrong, insufficient or irrelevant you have the right to make
90 +sure that it gets corrected or removed.
