Third-party material
The music, sounds, icons, fonts and libraries we did not make belong to their authors and come under their own licences. They are listed on the credits page. These terms do not change those licences, and they give you no rights to that material beyond what its licence gives.
The game is provided as it is
The game and the demo are free or paid as stated where you get them, and are provided "as is", without a promise that they will always work or be free of faults. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses from using them. Nothing here limits rights you have by law as a consumer.
Copies and takedowns
If you find a copy of the game or its material somewhere it should not be, please tell us at hello@ashortsail.com. We may ask the host to remove copies that break these terms.
Changes
We may change these terms. The date at the top says when. The privacy side of the game and this site is in the privacy policy.
