Fan content policy

Thank you for wanting to create really cool content about our games and our brand!

We are really excited to have players like you, that want to create amazing things based on our games!

At the same time, some not so cool people try to use the Frogmind Assets to sell their own products, making our players believe they are endorsed by, or in any way connected to Frogmind. This might lead to players buying things, or giving out personal information, thinking that the items are officially produced by Frogmind. We don’t like that.

This Fan Content Policy defines how you can use Frogmind Oy’s (“Frogmind”) copyrights and trademarks from BADLAND, BADLAND 2, Badland Brawl, including any related fan kits provided by us (“Frogmind Assets”) for Fan Content purposes. No warning will be given to those in violation of this Policy,

1. SPECIFIC RULES FOR FAN CONTENT

The Frogmind Assets can not be modified without our permission.

Keep it online. You are not allowed to manufacture or distribute (for free or otherwise) physical items such as T-shirts that bear any Frogmind Assets or other Frogmind intellectual property without a separate, express written agreement between you and Frogmind.

No novels, theatricals or the like. You are not permitted to write, produce or create any novels, theatrical productions or other adaptations that include Frogmind’s intellectual property without our express written permission.

2. ADDITIONAL TERMS
Developer policies and agreements. We respect other developers’ work. You must always follow applicable developer policies and agreements in force from time to time.
