Clogwork Workshop terms

1. Who we are

Clogwork is made by OddSprout Games, a sole trader based in Spain. Write to support@oddsprout.games about anything on this page. You can write in English or in any language the game supports. This address is also our contact point for authorities.

2. Age

You need a Steam account to publish, and Steam accounts are for people aged 13 and over. If you are under 18, show these terms to a parent or guardian before you publish.

3. Your work stays yours

Publishing does not give away what you made. You keep it.

4. What you let others do

Other players can get your item, play it, and remix it inside Clogwork. A remix names you. These terms give nobody permission to use your work outside Clogwork.

To run the Workshop, we may copy, store, show and run your item in Clogwork, make pictures of it, and replay any recording that comes with it to check it. We may also show your item when we promote Clogwork, for example in trailers, screenshots, on the store page, in posts and at events, with your Steam name as credit. These permissions are free and worldwide, and they are not exclusive: you can still do anything you like with your own work, and give the same permissions to anyone else.

If you delete your item from the Workshop, we stop using it in new promotion. Anything we made before you deleted it can stay up. We will never sell your work, and we will never make it part of Clogwork itself without asking you first.

5. What you may publish

Publish only your own work, or a remix made in Clogwork of something published here. Do not publish:

• characters, logos, art or music from other games, films, brands or people, unless you have their permission;
• hate symbols, or anything that attacks people for who they are;
• nudity or sexual content;
• anything illegal, or anything that shows or asks for someone's personal details;
• spam, or copies of someone else's item.

The same rules apply to titles, descriptions and pictures. Steam's own rules apply too.

6. Recordings

A challenge is published with a recording of your solve, and a figure with a recording of your factory making it. Anyone who gets the item gets the recording too. The game replays it to check that the item can be done.

7. How we look after the Workshop

Items appear as soon as they are published, and we do not look at everything first. The game checks each recording by itself. Until that check is done, the item shows BEING CHECKED and cannot be played. That check only asks whether the item can be done. It does not look at what the item shows.

We read reports and look at new items ourselves: every day for the first two weeks after launch, and at least twice a week after that. If something breaks these terms, we can remove it from Clogwork, remove it from Steam, and stop its creator from publishing. The ODDSPROUT mark means we looked at the item ourselves.

8. Reporting something

Press REPORT on the item in the game, or write to support@oddsprout.games. An email report needs:

• the link to the item;
• why you think it is illegal or breaks these terms;
• your name and email address;
• a sentence saying that what you wrote is true to the best of your knowledge.

We confirm that we got your report, and we tell you what we decided. Anything plainly illegal is removed within 24 hours of us knowing about it. If someone published your work without permission, we act within two working days. You can also send Valve a copyright notice for the copy on Steam at steamcommunity.com/dmca/create.

9. If we remove your item

YOUR WORK in the game shows that it was removed, and why. If you think we got it wrong, write to support@oddsprout.games. We will look again and answer you. You can also use any other route the law gives you, including the courts. If a creator keeps breaking these terms, we stop them publishing, and their items stop working in Clogwork.

10. Serious harm

We report threats to anyone's life or safety to the police, and child sexual abuse material to the authorities and child-protection hotlines.

11. Changes

If we change these terms, we say so in the game and on this page, and the new version gets a new number. Each item keeps the version it was published under.

12. Your rights

Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under the law where you live.
