Emperor of the Fading Suns Enhanced
End User License Agreement (EULA) April 2024
Thank you for getting Emperor of the Fading Suns Enhanced (EFSe). It may seem weird, but you don't own the games you get via Steam - you have a license for it (the game EULA). However, we do our best to make this as much a benefit for both players and creators as possible. This EULA is a binding contract between you, Holistic Design Inc. (HDI), and our licensors/licensees.
We like to jump right into the game, but please take the time to read this EULA (especially the part on modding - our grognard lawyer friends think it is cool). By installing Emperor of the Fading Suns Enhanced, you are acknowledging that you have read this EULA and agree to it. If you do not, please stop installing and return the game. We hate to lose you as a player, but we don't want you to agree to something that does not work for you.
1. Limited Use License
EFSe software and any files provided with it (like the Map Editor), contain copyrighted materials, trade secrets and other proprietary material of HDI. EFSe is licensed to you for your use, and non-transferable, and cannot be sublicensed. The license is a non-exclusive limited license to install and use EFSe for yourself. Your continuing license to use EFSe is conditioned on your compliance with this EULA. If you violate any terms of this EULA, all your rights to use EFSe immediately end. HDI does not have to notify you prior to such termination. Once your license is terminated, you must uninstall EFSe and all of its components.
2. User Modifications and New Creations
The EFSe Map Editor and modding tools comes with EFSe. You can use these to make mods or create new content to be played in EFSe. You may not distribute or share these tools. Any new creations, mods or materials that you make for EFSe (collectively referred to as “Mods”) are subject to the following restrictions:
We love Mods, and made many of the enhancements to the game to help our modders. But HDI needs to retain all of ownership rights in EFS, EFSe and any works derived from EFS. We also want our modders to share what they develop with the community. Please make great things. Just remember that you do not gain any ownership whatsoever in any EFS content nor can you use any EFS content outside the scope of the rights granted here.
3. Commercial Exploitation.
You may not use EFSe, or any Mods created for or from EFS, for any commercial purposes without the prior written consent of HDI or its authorized licensees.
4. Restrictions
You can do a lot of things in EFSe, but there are a few things you may not do.
HDI has made multiplayer games since the 1990s, and we strongly encourage you not to play with anyone you think is cheating. Cheating is also a violation of this EULA. Hacking into the executable of EFSe or any EFSe is prohibited under this EULA. Playing under the rules of the game provides the best time for anyone.
We also will not tolerate anyone using EFSe or its forums to be continually or repeatedly abusive to other players. This includes, but is not limited to, racism, bigotry, sexism or any other forms of cyber bullying.
If we find you are a Cheater or Abusive, HDI will terminate this license.
6. Copyright.
All title, ownership rights and intellectual property rights in and to EFSe are owned by HDI or its licensors. EFSe is protected by national and international laws, copyright treaties and conventions and other laws.

9. Complete Agreement.
This EULA constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the use of EFSe, Mods and other related materials and software. HDI reserves the right to modify the terms of this EULA from time to time.
10. Acceptance of Terms
By selecting the “I Agree” choice during the install and installing EFSe, you agree to all of the terms of this EULA.
People have been playing and enjoying Emperor of the Fading Suns for more than 25 years, and its EULA has not interfered with that. If anything, we believe it has helped by letting people know the framework in which they can create mods. Have fun with the game, and we look forward to hearing about your games and your own mods!
