Terms of Service

1. Who we are

Modhold ("we", "us") is a website for sharing game mods and modding tools, run by [legal name of the business, its address]. These Terms are an agreement between you and us. By making an account, or by using the site, you agree to them. If you don't agree, don't use the site.

2. Who can use it

You must be at least 13. If you are under 18 (or the age of adulthood where you live), you need a parent or guardian's permission, and you can't buy anything, take payouts, or see adult content. Adult (18+) mods are hidden unless you confirm you are 18 or older and turn them on.

3. Your account

Keep your password and recovery codes safe; you're responsible for what happens on your account. One person, one account for getting rewards: don't make extra accounts to gain XP, votes, downloads or money. Tell us if you think someone else got into your account.

4. What's yours

What you post stays yours. To run the site you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, copy, show, send and promote it on the site and in our channels (like a mod's page being shown in a feed or on Discord), for as long as it's up and for a reasonable time after, so backups and caches can clear. Players who download a file get a personal licence to use it under the permissions the author set on its page. Some things can't be pulled back once given: a permission an author granted and someone relied on, and copies people already downloaded.

5. The rules

Free speech is a core value here: we don't remove things because they're offensive or unpopular. We do remove things that break one of our five rules, and anything illegal. Never upload anything with malware, anything you don't have the right to share, or anything that breaks a game's licence. We can remove content, limit, suspend or close accounts that break these Terms or the rules, and every decision names the rule. You can appeal by sending staff a message from your Messages page.

6. Games and their makers

Mods change games owned by others. Modhold isn't connected with, or approved by, any game maker unless we say so. Using a mod is at your own risk: back up your saves. Game makers' licences apply to you and to the mods you make; some forbid selling mods made with their tools, and we follow that (see the Creator Terms).

7. Money

Buying, supporting authors, tips, gifts, bids and the Pass are covered by the Payment Terms. Authors who earn are covered by the Creator Terms.

8. The site as it is

We work hard to keep files safe (every file is virus-scanned, and new authors' first mods are checked by staff), but we can't promise that the site, any file or any mod is free of faults or right for your setup. The site and everything on it is provided "as is", without warranties, as far as the law allows.

9. Limits on what we owe

As far as the law allows, we aren't responsible for indirect or consequential losses (like lost saves, lost profits or lost data), and our total responsibility to you for any claim is limited to the larger of what you paid us in the 12 months before it, or [$50]. Nothing here limits what the law doesn't allow to be limited.

10. If something you did causes a claim

If someone makes a claim against us because of something you posted or did on the site (for example, a mod that copies someone else's work), you agree to cover our reasonable losses and legal costs from it.

11. Changes and ending

We may change these Terms; for big changes we'll tell you on the site at least [14] days before they apply. You can close your account any time in Settings. We can end or suspend accounts under section 5. Sections 4, 8, 9, 10 and 12 keep applying after an account closes.

12. Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [state], USA. [Courts / arbitration: to be decided with the lawyer.] If part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
