End User Licence Agreement

For the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms carry the meanings defined below:

• "Game" — Blood & Silence, including its executable software, art, audio, narrative, code, updates, patches, downloadable content, and any companion materials supplied by Netrigo.
• "Platform" — an authorised digital distributor through which the Game is made available, such as Steam or the Epic Games Store.
• "Device" — a personal computer or other compatible hardware owned or lawfully controlled by you, on which the Game is installed.
• "Account" — the user account you maintain with a Platform through which the Game is licensed.
• "User Content" — any content you create, record, capture, stream, modify, or otherwise generate using the Game.

Your first launch of the Game — or continued use after an update to this Agreement is issued and notified — constitutes your acceptance of the then-current version. If you are accepting on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to this Agreement.

Subject to your continued compliance with this Agreement, Netrigo Game Studios grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to install and play the Game on Devices you own or control, solely for your own private, non-commercial entertainment.

This licence is a licence — not a sale. It conveys no title, ownership, or any right beyond what is expressly enumerated here. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by Netrigo Game Studios and its licensors.

Blood & Silence is distributed exclusively through the following authorised Platforms:

The terms of service, refund policy, and privacy practices of the Platform you use apply in parallel with this Agreement. Where the Platform's terms directly conflict with a provision of this Agreement concerning the Platform's own services (for example, billing or Account management), the Platform's terms prevail as to that specific subject matter.

Copies of the Game obtained through unauthorised means — key resellers without a valid licence from Netrigo, pirated downloads, cracked builds — are not licensed under this Agreement, are void, and grant no rights whatsoever.

Within the scope of the licence granted in Article 2, you are expressly permitted to:

• Install and play the Game on Devices you own or control, for as many hours as you like
• Capture and share personal screenshots, video, and live streams of your own play sessions, on personal social media or streaming platforms, subject to Article 7
• Monetise let's-plays, walkthroughs, reviews, and similar content through partner programs (YouTube Partner, Twitch Affiliate, etc.) on a non-exclusive basis
• Discuss, review, critique, and analyse the Game freely — including critical, academic, and journalistic uses
• Back up your save files and configuration to a location of your choice for personal use

Except to the minimum extent required by mandatory applicable law, you shall not, directly or indirectly:

• Copy or distribute the Game or any portion of it, in whole or in part, by any means or medium
• Sell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, or transfer the Game or your licence to any third party
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or derive the source code of the Game, except where and to the extent such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation
• Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the Game, other than the limited creative activity permitted by Article 7
• Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices embedded in or appearing with the Game
• Use cheats, trainers, bots, macros, aim-assist software, wall-hacks, or any unauthorised third-party tool that modifies game memory, files, or network traffic to gain unfair advantage or disrupt the experience of other players
• Access the Game by unauthorised means, including but not limited to private servers, emulators, or circumvention of any technical protection measure
• Exploit bugs or vulnerabilities for commercial gain or to cause harm; we encourage responsible disclosure to security@netrigogames.tr
• Use the Game to harass, defame, or harm others, or to engage in any unlawful activity
• Use the Game or its assets commercially (merchandise, paid media productions, NFTs, AI training corpora, etc.) without a separate written agreement with Netrigo

Blood & Silence, together with all components comprising it — including but not limited to the software code, executable binaries, scripts, shaders, visual assets, environmental design, models, textures, user-interface design, musical score, sound effects, voice-acting recordings, written narrative and dialogue, character names, and world bibles — is the exclusive intellectual property of Netrigo Game Studios or its licensors, and is protected by copyright, trademark, trade-dress, trade-secret, and other applicable laws of Türkiye, the European Union, the United States, and international treaties including the Berne Convention and the TRIPS Agreement.

Protected names, marks, and characters include, without limitation:

No part of the Game's code or assets may be extracted, repackaged, or used outside the Game without a separate written licence from Netrigo Game Studios.

7.1 Gameplay Capture & Streaming

You retain authorship of the footage, screenshots, and commentary you personally create from your play sessions. By publishing such content, you grant Netrigo a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to view, share, and quote excerpts of it for promotional purposes, with credit to you where practical.

7.2 Fan Art & Fan Fiction

Non-commercial fan art, fan fiction, cosplay, and similar transformative creative works inspired by Blood & Silence are permitted and welcomed, provided that:

• They are clearly labelled as unofficial fan-made and not endorsed by Netrigo
• They do not misrepresent Netrigo's views, nor imply authorship by Netrigo staff
• They are not sold commercially beyond incidental cost recovery (e.g. print-at-cost zines, convention artist-alley prints of your own drawings)
• They do not contain sexual content involving characters depicted as minors, or content that is unlawful in your jurisdiction

7.3 Mods & Modifications

Unless and until Netrigo publishes a modding SDK or public mod policy, modification of game files is not authorised. If and when a modding framework is released, it will carry its own addendum to this EULA.

7.4 In-Game User Content

If the Game, at any time, allows you to create or submit content (screenshots shared through a gallery feature, chat messages in a community feature, etc.), you represent that you hold all necessary rights, and you grant Netrigo a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, display, and moderate that content as reasonably necessary to operate the Game.

Netrigo reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, to release updates, patches, hot-fixes, rebalances, or additional downloadable content ("DLC") for the Game. Updates may modify, add, or remove features, mechanics, narrative content, or systems. We aim to announce substantive changes via our devlog and community channels whenever practicable.

DLC and post-launch content may be offered free of charge or for a separate fee. Purchase of DLC is subject to the Platform's billing terms, and unless stated otherwise, grants a licence of the same scope as the base Game.

Netrigo may, in extraordinary circumstances, retire online services (such as leaderboard servers, cloud-save synchronisation, or telemetry endpoints). We will provide at least 90 days' advance notice before permanently discontinuing an online service. Core single-player functionality will remain playable offline to the maximum extent technically feasible.

Our collection, use, and protection of personal data in connection with the Game and our website is described in detail in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. By accepting this EULA you confirm that you have read and understood our privacy practices, including the limited, anonymised telemetry we collect for bug diagnosis and gameplay balance.

For personal data handled by your chosen Platform (Steam, Epic), the Platform's own privacy policy applies.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Game is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", with all faults, and without warranty of any kind. Netrigo expressly disclaims all warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, or quiet enjoyment.

Netrigo does not warrant that:

• The Game will meet your specific requirements or expectations
• Operation of the Game will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
• The Game will be free of viruses, worms, Trojans, or other harmful components
• Any defects in the Game will be corrected

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits any liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation. Statutory consumer-protection rights under the law of your country of residence remain unaffected.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Netrigo Game Studios, its directors, employees, contractors, or licensors be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with the Game or this Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, even if Netrigo has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Netrigo's total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be limited to the greater of (a) the amount actually paid by you for the Game in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty (50) euros.

This Agreement remains in effect until terminated. Your rights under this Agreement terminate automatically, without notice from Netrigo, if you fail to comply with any material term herein. Netrigo may additionally terminate this Agreement, in respect of you individually, upon reasonable notice where we detect serious or repeated breach.

Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Game and destroy or remove all copies (including saved states and cached assets) in your possession. The Platform may, at Netrigo's request, disable access to the Game through your Account.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Articles 5 (Restrictions), 6 (Intellectual Property), 10 (Disclaimers), 11 (Liability), 13 (DMCA), 14 (Governing Law), and 15 (Miscellaneous) — shall survive.

Netrigo Game Studios respects the intellectual property of others and expects the same of its community. If you believe that material appearing in or associated with the Game, or hosted on our website, infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a notice under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) or equivalent local law.

A valid notice must include:

• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
• Identification of the allegedly infringing material, with enough detail to locate it (URL, file name, in-game location)
• Your contact information (name, email, mailing address, phone number)
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on its behalf
• Your physical or electronic signature

Submit notices to legal@netrigogames.tr with the subject line [DMCA NOTICE]. Counter-notices and misrepresentation claims are governed by §512 of the DMCA and equivalent provisions of local law.

This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or in connection with it — including non-contractual disputes — shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

Subject to the mandatory consumer-protection rights available in your country of residence, the courts of İstanbul, Türkiye shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. Before initiating proceedings, the parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve the matter by written notice and direct negotiation for a period of thirty (30) days.

Consumers domiciled in the European Union retain the right to bring proceedings in the competent court of their place of domicile under Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012.

15.1 Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy and any Platform terms that apply by force of law, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Netrigo Game Studios concerning the Game, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether oral or written.

15.2 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if that is not possible, severed from this Agreement; the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

15.3 Waiver

Failure by Netrigo to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement on any occasion is not a waiver of that right or provision on any future occasion.

15.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Netrigo may assign this Agreement freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

15.5 Force Majeure

Netrigo shall not be in breach of this Agreement where failure or delay to perform results from causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, governmental action, labour disputes, widespread internet or infrastructure failure, or pandemic.

15.6 Changes to this Agreement

We may update this EULA from time to time. Material changes will be announced at least 14 days before they take effect, via the devlog, a site notice, and (where feasible) in-game notification on next launch. The "Last Updated" date above always reflects the current version. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
