	~~The basic rule~~ is~~: Use common sense. We try to be reasonable, please be too.~~
	~~== The Game ==~~

	* Factorio is still in the development. That means it is an unfinished product so it may contain bugs and unfinished features.
	* The game is still evolving and is subject to changes in the future.
	* We are not liable for any damage that might be caused to you by ~~downloading, installing~~ and ~~using our software.~~
	* Especially we are not responsible if you stay awake all night long playing Factorio and can't go to ~~school / work in~~ the ~~morning~~ :)
	* You download, install and use Factorio at your own risk.
	* There's always the possibility of the development of the project being discontinued at any time.
	* Use of our online matching server and mod portal requires an account on our website.

	~~== Paid content ==~~

	* Factorio demo is available to anyone free of charge.
	* You get access to the game by buying (single payment) the membership.
	* Possesion of the membership entitles you to all the updates to the digital content associated with this membership for free in the future. Specifically this means that future updates to the core game are for free. However this doesn't include any more significant products that we might release, such as a Factorio DLCs, Factorio 2, etc.
	* The contents and the price are subject to change in the future. We reserve the right to change the prices and change content when we feel it is appropriate.
	* Possesion of the membership entitles you also to use of the mod portal (see below for the details) and multiplayer matching server.

	~~== The Mod Portal ==~~

	* The mod portal website and in-game integration are available for all purchasers of the game

	* Any inappropriate behaviour by users in the discussions feature can lead to account deactivation.

	~~== Steam integration ==~~

	* Paid memberships are entitled to the Steam key which allows them to add Factorio to their Steam library.
	* This Steam key is meant solely for the owner of the membership, from whose profile page it was generated.
	* Giving away / ~~selling~~ / ~~etc. the Steam key to someone else is direct violation of this ToS and will lead to interrupting the membership.~~
	* We reserve the right to change the policy of giving out keys with above restrictions in the future.
	* People who buy the game via Steam will have an account automatically created at our webpage. This will allow them to use other services we provide or will provide in the future (i.e. mod repository, MP matching server).

	~~== Purchase and Refunds ==~~

	* After the purchase you will receive an electronic invoice from our payment processing service.
	* After the purchase you will also receive a confirmation email from us with the upgrade code to your new tier and instructions on how to use it.
	* There are no additional or hidden fees. You pay once for the product (the membership tier) and that is it.

	** The purchase has not been authorized or it has been a fraud.
	** The user has technical issues with the game (it doesn't run or works improperly).

	* If you wish to cancel your account please send us an email to support@factorio.com.
	* We reserve the right to restrict or suspend accounts of users that will clearly violate the terms of service ~~or our privacy policy. In such a case we will first try to resolve the situation by communicating with the user. Suspending the account is the last resort.~~

	~~== Other ==~~

	* Don't do anything that could harm the development of the game or its distribution.
	* The materials appearing in the game or on the Factorio ~~website may include technical or typographical errors. We don't warrant that any of the materials are complete, accurate, or up to date.~~
	* Any kind of abusive or clearly inappropriate behavior in regards to service we run (forums, mod portal, matching server) is a violation of these terms of service.
	* There are couple of ~~places~~ where ~~you can share ideas and opinions with other players (our Forum, Twitter, Facebook page). Please behave there appropriately and don’t do anything that gets us into trouble.~~
	* In case of legal dispute, the governing laws of the Czech Republic will apply.

	~~We reserve the right to update these terms at any point in time with immediate effect. Last update was on 22nd of Feb 2018~~.
