Any idea, design, feature, or content contributed to the Game by employees, contractors, or freelancers has been assigned to the Developer by written agreement, or was created by the Developer personally. The Developer has the sole authority to grant, license, or enforce rights in the Work.

4. Permitted Uses

Content creators (streamers, video creators, reviewers) may stream or record gameplay for non-commercial or monetized platforms such as YouTube or Twitch, provided the use is a genuine commentary, review, or entertainment context that falls within fair use / fair dealing principles of your jurisdiction and does not consist of redistribution of large amounts of the Game’s content (for example, full extraction of assets or cloned builds).
