- It is not okay to make any other commercial use of our content.
Important Information: This statement is meant to provide general guidance as to our interpretation of our Terms of Service and End User License Agreements. This statement does not alter or amend the Terms of Service and End User License Agreements, and those policies remain in full force and effect.
Your ability to engage in a particular use of our content will depend entirely on the circumstances of the use. While we wish we could review each particular use in advance and give clear direction as to what is (and isn’t) acceptable, doing so in a timely and consistent manner would be impossible. Therefore, we will not respond to any request to determine if a particular use is non-commercial or to confirm your right to a particular use. If you need to show a third party that you have a right to make a video or stream, you should point them to this statement. If the third party has any questions about your particular use, those questions will be treated the same as a request from you to confirm your right to a particular use.
Finally, this policy applies only to content in Warchest’s games. If you include someone else's content in your video, such as music, you will have to get permission from the owner.
WARCHEST LIMITED - IDEA SUBMISSION POLICY
Warchest is always pleased to hear from our players and fans, and we welcome comments and feedback regarding our games, products and services. Sometimes, however, there can be confusion over how those comments or feedback will be treated.
To clarify here is a policy which will apply to any ideas, suggestions, proposals, comments, feedback or other such submissions:
Any submission that gives feedback on our games and services or suggests new content, features, products or other similar ideas is governed by this policy. If there is an exception we will tell you.
This policy doesn’t impact communication with our customer services team which will still follow the Warchest privacy policy. When other interactions are exempt from this policy we will tell you.
Sharing personal information is still covered by our privacy policy when we ask you to share it.
Warchest does not have any obligation related to submissions. For example we won’t return materials sent to us or regularly acknowledge submissions we receive. We may from time to time return materials or acknowledge a submission, but cannot (and do not) promise we will do this every time (or even at all, really).
Anything you send to us, whether it be via forums, comments, social responses or other channels, which is subject to this policy will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary. This means if you submit an idea you are waiving any and all rights to it and are ok with it being shared and used by us, by entities we do business with, or even other users (depending on your method of sharing).
Warchest will be free to use any submitted information under this policy. This includes without limitation the right to use and share the idea any way we see fit without compensation. What this means is if you submit an idea you are waiving the rights to it and permitting us to use it in our games or elsewhere without payment to you.
