Terms and Conditions

1. About these terms

These terms govern your use of https://spaceengine.net ("the website"), operated by SpaceEngine.net ("we", "us"). If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website. SpaceEngine.net is an independent resource site and is not affiliated with Cosmographic Software or the official SpaceEngine project.

2. Website usage

You may browse the website, read its articles and use the Procedural Planet Previewer for personal, educational and non-commercial purposes. When using the website, you agree not to:

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the server, its files or other systems.
• Use automated tools to scrape content in bulk or place excessive load on the server.
• Interfere with the security or normal operation of the website.
• Use the website for any unlawful purpose.

3. Download usage

The wallpaper packs, fact sheets, checklist and templates hosted on this website are original works created by SpaceEngine.net. Unless a file states otherwise, you may:

• Use them on your own devices and in personal, school or non-commercial projects.
• Share links to our pages so others can download them.

You may not sell the files, include them in paid products, re-upload them to other download sites or claim them as your own without our written permission. PNG images you create with the planet previewer are yours to use freely, including commercially.

The Space Engine program is not hosted on this website. Buttons labelled as Space Engine downloads redirect to Steam or the developer's official website. Your use of the program is governed entirely by the developer's license and the terms of the platform you obtain it from.

4. User responsibility

You are responsible for checking that your device meets the requirements of any software you install, for keeping backups of your data, and for following the license terms of third-party software and content. Before using Space Engine screenshots or footage commercially, check the developer's current terms.

5. Intellectual property

The website's design, text, code, artwork and logo are owned by SpaceEngine.net and protected by copyright law. "SpaceEngine" and related names are the property of their respective owner. We use them only to identify the software our guides discuss, and this does not imply endorsement. If you believe content on this website infringes your rights, contact us and we will review it promptly.

6. Accuracy of information

We work hard to keep requirements, version details and astronomical facts accurate, but software changes and scientific estimates are revised. Information is provided for general guidance, and you should confirm important details with official sources.

7. Limitations and disclaimer of warranties

The website, its tools and downloads are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, SpaceEngine.net is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the website, its downloads or any linked third-party website or software. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including consumer protection rights in the UK, Australia and elsewhere.

8. Third-party websites

Links to external websites, including Steam and spaceengine.org, are provided for convenience. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability or practices.

9. Changes to terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and the effective date above will be updated. Continued use of the website after changes means you accept the revised terms.
