In order to protect PUBLISHER, the Product, any third party licensors that have licensed intellectual property to PUBLISHER for use in the Product, and users that create Mods, the following terms apply ("Modding Terms"). Please review these rules carefully before you create, share, distribute, use or otherwise exploit any Mods.
Please note that laws in your respective jurisdiction may require that you are of a certain age in order to enter into legally binding arrangements such as the terms of this Modding Terms.

A breach of the provisions of this licence shall constitute a material breach which has the effect of terminating the EULA (including the Modding Terms) and which may subject you to civil and criminal liability.
In consideration of the above grant of rights, you hereby grant PUBLISHER, its affiliates and its licensors all the necessary consents, clearances and an irrevocable, sub-licensable, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual licence and right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, display, distribute or otherwise exploit any Mod which is uploaded to the Modding Page in any way PUBLISHER or its licensors see fit for use with the Product and any other products published by PUBLISHER. You waive and agree never to assert against PUBLISHER or its affiliates, distributors or licensors any moral rights or similar rights, however designated, that you may have in or to any Mods.
17.3. CONTENT RESTRICTIONS
Any element which you include in your Mod must be your own original work created by you or you must have obtained the necessary permissions to use such materials.

17. MODDING TERMS
PUBLISHER encourages its users to express their creativity and enhance the experience of our games through the creation of modifications (including but not limited to new items, weapons, characters, models, textures, levels, story lines, music and game modes) for use with the Product ("Mod" or "Mods"). In order to protect PUBLISHER, the Product, any third party licensors that have licensed intellectual property to PUBLISHER for use in the Product, and users that create Mods, the following terms apply ("Modding Terms"). Please review these rules carefully before you create, share, distribute, use or otherwise exploit any Mods.
Please note that laws in your respective jurisdiction may require that you are of a certain age in order to enter into legally binding arrangements such as the terms of this Modding Terms. In the event that you are under the required age, you may not create any Mods, unless your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these terms. The licence we provide to you to create and use Mods with the Product may be revoked if you breach the Modding Terms.
17.1. OWNERSHIP
You acknowledge that you shall have no ownership or other proprietary interest in the Product and/or any Mods which you create, except as expressly stated herein. Any Mods that you create shall belong to you only insofar as the Mod contains your original creative work. You acknowledge and agree that all right, title and interest in any elements of the Mod which represent, comprise, derive or are based upon any intellectual property rights which subsist in the Product (including but not limited to any computer code, themes, objects, characters, character names, stories, dialogs, catch phrases, locations, concepts, artwork, images, animation, sounds, musical compositions, audio-visual effects or text), including without limitation copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual properties therein and/or related thereto, whether or not registered or registrable, are owned by, or for the benefit of PUBLISHER and its licensors.
17.2. LICENCE
Subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions of the EULA and the Modding Terms, PUBLISHER hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited, fully revocable right and licence to install, access and use the in-game modding tools and any other related tools provided by PUBLISHER ("Modding Tools") solely and exclusively to create Mods for use with the Product and to publish those Mods to our site, the Steam Workshop or other Third party platforms ("Modding Page"), or as updated from time to time, which is owned and operated by Valve.

A breach of the provisions of this licence shall constitute a material breach which has the effect of terminating the EULA (including the Modding Terms) and which may subject you to civil and criminal liability.
In consideration of the above grant of rights, you hereby grant PUBLISHER, its affiliates and its licensors all the necessary consents, clearances and an irrevocable, sub-licensable, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual licence and right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, display, distribute or otherwise exploit any Mod which is uploaded to the Modding Page in any way PUBLISHER or its licensors see fit for use with the Product and any other products published by PUBLISHER. You waive and agree never to assert against PUBLISHER or its affiliates, distributors or licensors any moral rights or similar rights, however designated, that you may have in or to any Mods.
17.3. CONTENT RESTRICTIONS
Any element which you include in your Mod must be your own original work created by you or you must have obtained the necessary permissions to use such materials.

If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty, disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect. Any failure by us to enforce or exercise any provision of this Agreement or related rights shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
PUBLISHER may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time. Notwithstanding, you may not assign, transfer or sublicense any or all of your rights or obligations under the Agreement without PUBLISHER’s express prior written consent.
Nothing in this Agreement gives or claims to give to any third party any benefit or right to enforce any term of this Agreement, and the provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (as amended or modified from time to time) are expressly excluded.
