ACTION! SYSTEM TRADEMARK LICENSE
Version 1.0 (May 1, 2003) I. Introduction This Action! System Trademark License (hereinafter "ASTL") includes a license to use the Action! System trademarks (defined in section II.A., below) owned by Gold Rush Games, describes their correct use, and defines the rules, restrictions and limitations that you agree to abide by when using the Licensed Marks. The instructions in the ASTL supercede any previous instructions for the use of the Licensed Marks, including but not limited to the Action! System Temporary License. A. Conditions of Publication This document is subject to change without notice. If updated or revised, new versions of the ASTL will contain a different version number. B. Notice of Format This document will mainly be distributed as an .rtf (rich text format) and .pdf (Portable Document Format) file. This could result in some unreadable parts/characters due to unavailable character sets on the viewing platform and/or due to limitations of the printer used. You might not be able to properly view or read some or all of a certain file. This does not invalidate any of the official text of the document. If you cannot properly view a file, check the Action! System web site (www.action-system.com) or contact Gold Rush Games for a plain text or printed version of the ASTL.
C. Compliance with the Open Game License Per the terms of the Open Game License (hereinafter "OGL"), incorporated herein by reference, you agree not to use the Licensed Marks unless you do so in accordance with the terms and conditions described in the ASTL. Any product that you use any of our Action! System logos on or in must comply with the Open Game License. If your product is in violation of the OGL, it is automatically in violation of the ASTL and, therefor, our trademark license.
D. Acceptance of Terms By downloading and/or using the Action! System Trademark logo graphic files and/or by returning the Licensee Registration Form as presented in the file "licreg.pdf," You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in the ASTL. If you use one of our logos on a product that you distribute (whether or not you sell it), if you download any of our logo files from the Action! System web site (at www.action-system.com), or if you mail us the Licensee Registration form, you agree to comply with all of the rules and restrictions given in this document. So you can't use our logo and then claim that you don't agree to follow the rules; that's an infringement of our trademark and that's not a good thing.
E. Copyright & Trademark Ownership Gold Rush Games retains title and ownership of the Action! System and the Licensed Marks. We own the trademarks specifically mentioned in and covered by the ASTL. You acknowledge that they are our property and it is up to us whether or not to allow anyone else to use them. This is an important consideration and establishes our right to grant permission to other people to use them.
F. Unauthorized Use Forbidden Any other use of the Licensed Marks, except as allowed under "fair use" provisions of United States intellectual property law, are expressly forbidden and such unauthorized use constitute an infringement of Gold Rush Games' intellectual property rights. Because only we can decide who can use our trademarks, and how, you are agreeing that any use of our trademarks, except as allowed under the "fair use" provisions of copyright and trademark law, are infringements of our rights under the law.
For information about "fair use," we recommend that you visit the U.S. Copyright Office web site, at www.loc.gov/copyright/, or the U.S Patent and Trademark Office web site, at www.uspto.gov, and/or contact an attorney.
Some things that we consider fair use of our trademarks include:
If you have any questions about what we consider fair use of our trademarks, feel free to contact us, although understand that we are not attorneys and we cannot offer legal advice. G. Agreement not to Contest By making use of and/or distributing Open Content or otherwise using the Action! System Trademark under the terms of this License, You agree not to contest the ownership of the Licensed Marks. You further agree and accept that the Licensed Marks (enumerated in section II.A.) constitute Product Identity as that term is defined in the OGL, incorporated herein by reference thereto. You agree not to claim or assert that the Action! System trademarks or the Gold Rush Games trademark belong to anyone other than Gold Rush Games. You also agree that they are product identity, as defined in the OGL.
H. Notices to Licensor All official notices and communications with Gold Rush Games concerning the ASTL or the OGL shall be sent to: Gold Rush Games. Inc.
Any official notices concerning the ASTL or our trademark license (which is incorporated into the ASTL) must be sent to us via regular or traceable mail to the address listed. Any other communication, including via electronic mail (i.e., e-mail), telephone or facsimile (i.e., fax), are not official, non-binding and do not satisfy the definition of "official notices" that may be required in the ASTL.
I. Licensee Registration Form
II. Definitions A. "Licensed Marks" Defined "Licensed Marks" means any and all of the following trademarks owned by Gold Rush Games:
Whenever the term "Licensed Marks" is used in the ASTL it means one or more of the listed trademarks owned by Gold Rush Games. It does not apply to any other trademarks, including those owned by Gold Rush Games (such as the Sengoku, Agent X or Village of Briarton trademarks).
B. Other Definitions 1. "ASCII text file" means a software file containing data that consists of text characters without formatting or graphic displays. 2. "Covered Product" means any product or work released under the Open Game License which uses or incorporates the Licensed Marks, including:
3. "Open Game Content" and "Open Content" refers to material designated as Open Game Content as defined in the Open Game License, published by Wizards of the Coast. 4. "Open Game License" and "OGL" refer to the Open Game License, version 1.0a. 5. "pdf file": means a software file containing content using or compatible with the Portable Document Format specification created by Adobe Systems. 6. "Product" means any product or work, regardless of format or substance, containing Open Content. 7. "Product Identity" refers to material designated as Product Identity as defined in the Open Game License. 8. "Trade dress" means the total image or overall appearance of a business or product, including, but not limited to, features such as size, shape, color or color combinations, texture, graphics and combinations or arrangements thereof. 9. "Web Site" means the data transmitted from one computer to another using the HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) or variations of that protocol for the purpose of displaying multimedia content, and the various software files used to create that display. 10. "Web Page" means the output of a web server when displayed on a web browser in response for a specifically requested Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Wherever these terms are used in the ASTL the above definitions apply. No other definition, including those contained in other legal documents, may be used when reading and interpreting the ASTL.
C. Defined Game Terms You agree not to change the definition of any game terms used in the Action! System Core Rules ("Game Terms"). Game Terms are defined in the most recent version of the Action! System Glossary, included here by reference. You agree not to use any other definition for the Game Terms other than the definition listed in the most recent version of the Action! System Glossary, available at the Action! System web site at www.action-system.com.
For example, you cannot redefine "Core Attributes" as including a new "PSI" attribute group. The Core Attributes must always be the Body attribute group (Strength, Reflexes and health) and the Mind attribute group (Intellect, Presence and Will).
This doesn't mean that you can't omit the terms or create new terms and define those terms as you like. For instance, you could include a Psi attribute group in your product as a "third attribute group used by all Player Characters" (meaning that the new attribute group would be considered an Extension), and/or omit the Body and Mind attributes altogether (meaning that the attributes used in your game would be considered a Variant).
The idea is not to restrict what you can do with the Action! System, but rather to ensure that the basic terms used in the Action! System Core Rules are understood by all Action! System players, avoiding confusion and contradiction between various Action! System products and ensuring a minimum level of compatibility among Action! System products. III. License to Use You are hereby granted the non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Licensed Marks in accordance with the conditions specified in the ASTL. This is where we are giving you permission to use the Action! System trademarks and logos.
You can't give that permission to another person or company; only we can do that. Each person or company that wants permission to use our trademarks must themselves agree to the terms of the ASTL.
We reserve the right to give the permission to use our trademarks to other people or companies. Just because we give you permission to use them doesn't mean that we can't give that permission to other people, as well.
We do not ask for or require you to pay us any money for the use of our trademarks, as long as you use them according to the conditions and rules given in the ASTL. (A pretty good deal if you ask us.) IV. Trademark Use A. Mandatory Restrictions 1. No Change of Definitions: No Covered product may change or extend the definition of any Defined Game Term as enumerated in the ASTL. This is a reiteration of the rule that you cannot change the meaning of any of the Game Terms that appear in the most recent version of the Action! System Glossary. 2. No Use of The Licensed Marks in Titles of Covered Products: No Covered product may use the terms "Action!" or "Action" in its main title or self-reference. No Covered product may use the term "The" in conjunction with the terms "Action!" or " Action" in its title, cover or self-reference. You cannot use the word "Action!", with or without the exclamation mark, whether capitalized or not, in the main title of your product nor in the name by which you refer to your product.
You may, however, use the word "Action" in the sub-title of your product. The subtitle is the portion of a title that usually follows a colon, hyphen or dash after the main title, or which is printed in smaller print below the main title.
For instance, if you created a military sourcebook you could not give it the title "Military Action!" But you could, however, call your product "Commando: A Military Action! Source Book."
Referring to your product as "Commando: The Military Action!" book is not allowed, however, as that implies that it is the official or definitive book (which it may not be).
To review:
B. Mandatory Requirements 1. Minimum Open Content: A minimum of one percent (1%) of the text of a Covered Product must be Open Content and must comply with the terms of the OGL. At least one percent (1 word out of every 100) must be Open Game Content and that Open Content has to follow the rules of the Open Game License.
2. Required Use of the Licensed Marks: All Covered products must display: a. one of the following:
b. or, in the specific case of an ASCII text file, one of the following text blocks:
Your Covered Product must include one of the four Action! System trademark logos or, if your product is a plain, ASCII text file, one of the text blocks shown.
Remember that you can use the Action! System logo on any Action! System product, but the Fast! Action, Action! Ready and Action! Packed trademarks can only be used on or in Covered Products that meet the definition of that mark.
For instance, if you have a product that includes write ups of non-player characters but no other Action! System material, then it meets the definition of an Action! Ready product, so you could use either the Action! System or Action! Ready logo, but not the Action! Packed logo, on the product.
Here's a simple table showing which logos can be used on Covered Products:
3. Contribution of New Open Content: Each Covered Product must include new Open Content derived from the Action! System Core Rules, from the Fast Action! Basic Rules, or from other Open Content that itself is derivative of the Action! System. You must contribute new Action! System material (rules, stats, and so on) to your product. You cannot simply republish existing Open Content that someone else created.
4. Action! System Material Must Be Open Content: All material derivative of the Action! System Core Rules must be declared as Open Content and released under the OGL. Any new Action! System material that you do create must also be released as Open Content. You cannot take someone else's work that has been contributed as Open Content, add to or improve upon it and then keep it to yourself.
5. Open Content Availability: The original Open Content that you contribute that is derivative of the Action! System Core Rules or derivative of other Open Content that is itself derivative of the Action! System Core Rules must be made available in electronic format, in a plain text or rich text format (.rtf) file, within sixty (60) days from the date of publication of the Open Content, to any party that has completed a Licensee Registration Form, upon request. Such files must comply with the OGL. Within 60 calendar days from the release of your product, you must make all of the original Action! System material that you create (and include in your product) available to any developer for whom GRG has a Licensee Registration Form on file, upon request from that developer. It must be made available in plain text or .rtf format.
You can check the Publishers page on www.action-system.com for a list of publishers for whom we have received Licensee Registration Forms.
This rule is designed to make the sharing of Open Content even easier, whether someone wants to use it in his or her private game or create new derivative material from it. At the same time, it allows the creators of original content to reap the majority of profit from its commercial publication. (Experience shows that the vast majority of sales of a new product occur within the first 60 days of its release). 6. Extensions and Variants Identified a. Extensions: All Extensions, as defined in the Action! System Glossary, must be clearly identified in the Covered Product. If you create material that expands upon an existing rule or element of the Action! System Core Rules, it is an Extension and must be clearly identified as an Extension in your product.
This allows people to quickly locate and identify your special rules that differ from the Action! System Core Rules. b. Variants: All Variants, as defined in the Action! System Glossary, must be clearly identified in the Covered Product. If you create material that replaces an existing rule or element of the Action! System Core Rules, it is a Variant and must be clearly identified as a Variant in your product.
This allows people to quickly locate and identify your special rules that differ from the Action! System Core Rules. 7. Mandatory Trademark Use a. Legal text required in all Covered Products: You must also include the following legal text in a reasonably legible font, point size and color, and somewhere in the work. We recommend (but do not officially require) that you follow the U.S. Copyright regulation contained in Circular 96 Section 201.20, "Methods of Affixation and Positions of the Copyright Notice on Various Types of Works" (available online at the U.S. Copyright Office's web site, at http://www.copyright.gov/title37/201/37cfr201-20.html) or consult the Code of Federal Regulations in your local library.
The above text blocks include both our copyright and trademark notices. They must be printed exactly as they appear here (minus any quotation marks preceding the start of and following the end of the text blocks).
b. Action! Ready products: All Covered Products bearing the Action! Ready trademark or trademark logo, or any Covered Product meeting the definition of an Action! Ready product, must include, visibly and in a readable size, on the cover or back cover (or title page of works without covers) of the Covered Product, one of the following text blocks:
Because Action! Ready products do not, by definition, include the rules of play and/or character creation, you must include the one of the notices above so that people know that your product requires the use of an additional product to play.
Even though the Action! System Core Rules are available for free, you should not assume that everyone who sees your product will know that it is not a complete product and you certainly don't want to "dupe" anyone into thinking otherwise. c. Permission to Translate: Permission is granted to translate the required text blocks into a non-English language, provided that the translated text is identified as non-official and the English language text is also included. You can add a translation of the required text but you still have to include the English language text, also.
8. Trademark Use in Marketing a. Permissions: Permission is granted to use the Licensed Marks for the purposes of marketing a Covered product. This section covers the use of the Action! System trademarks and trademark logos specifically in the marketing of your product, including magazine ads, web page ads, banner ads, press releases, descriptive text, and so on.
1. Covered products bearing the Action! System logo: When doing so, the marketing content for Covered Products bearing the Action! System logo must include, at a reasonable font, size and color, the following text:
You have to include this text in any marketing of a Covered Product that bears the Action! System logo.
2. Covered products bearing the Action! Packed logo: When doing so, the marketing content for Covered Products bearing the Action! Packed logo must include, at a reasonable font, size and color, the following text:
You have to include this text in any marketing of a Covered Product that bears the Action! Packed logo.
3. Covered products bearing the Action! Ready logo: When doing so, the marketing content for Covered Products bearing the Action! Ready logo must include, at a reasonable font, size and color, the following text: "'Action! System', 'Action! Ready' and the Action! System and Action! Ready logos are trademarks of Gold Rush Games and are used with permission." You have to include this text in any marketing of a Covered Product that bears the Action! Ready logo.
4. Covered products bearing the Fast Action! logo: When doing so, the marketing content for Covered Products bearing the Fast Action! logo must include, at a reasonable font, size and color, the following text:
You have to include this text in any marketing of a Covered Product that bears the Fast Action! logo.
b. Additional, non-mandatory use: You may also use the text described in the "Mandatory Trademark Use" section in your marketing materials, provided that you also include the appropriate trademark ownership statement provided in that section as well. You have the option of also including the required text in sections IV.B.7.a. through IV.B.7.b.2. in/on your marketing material, but you do not have to do so.
c. Translation: Permission is granted to translate the required text blocks in sections IV.B.8.a.1 through IV.B.8.a.4 into a non-English language, provided that the English text is also included, and that the translated text is identified as non-official. You can add a translation of the required text but you still have to include the English language text, also.
9. Accreditation a. You must display the following text blocks on the credits page of any Covered Product released under this Agreement or on the first page if the product is a book or electronic document, at a reasonable and legible size:
The above text identifies the creators and writers of the Action! System Core Rules. This gives them proper credit for their work and also identifies that the main work, from which other Open Content is derived, was created by someone other than those who created the additional derived material in your product.
b. Translation Permission is granted to translate this text into a non-English language. You can add a translation of the required text. You do not have to also print the English language text.
10. Citation of other GRG products in Covered products a. Citation and reference of the Action! System: You may refer to and cite the Action! System as the "Action! System," "Action!" or "A!S". b. Citation and reference of the Action! System Core Rules Book: You may refer to and cite the Action! System Core Rules book as the "Action! System Core Rules book," "Action! System Core Rules," "A!S Core Rules" or "A!SCR". c. Citation and reference of the Fast Action! Basic Rules Book: You may refer to and cite the Fast Action! Basic Rules book as "Fast Action! Basic Rules", "Fast Action!" or "FA!BR". You can refer to the above products using the terms and abbreviations listed above. You can't refer to them in some other way, however. For example, referring to the Action! System Core Rules as "A! Rules" is inappropriate.
Also, you should always identify trademarks by setting them apart from other text, such as making them italic. When we refer to the Action! System in our products, we generally italicize it and place it in "small caps" format. This is our preferred method of displaying the trademark text but you are not legally obligated to do the same. d. Citation and reference of other Gold Rush Games books: 1. You may make reference by title to any other Gold Rush Games products bearing the Action! System, Fast Action!, Action! Packed or Action! Ready logo, but you must identify Gold Rush Games as the publisher of any product so referenced in your product. You must also identify Gold Rush Games as the trademark owner of any product so referenced on the cover, exterior or packaging of your Covered Product. You can refer to any Gold Rush Games product that bears any of the logos above on or in your Covered Product.
For example, you can include the text, "See Sengoku, from Gold Rush Games, for more information" or "See Gold Rush Games' Sengoku RPG for more information" in your Covered Product. You can even include the text "Compatible with Sengoku: Second Edition, by Gold Rush Games" right on the back cover of your Covered Product as long as you also include a proper trademark notice. A proper trademark notice for Sengoku would be:
"Sengoku is a trademark of Gold Rush Games."
This fulfills the requirement of the OGL to use other people's trademarks on or in your Covered Product. 2. You may not make reference by title to any other Gold Rush Games products. In addition, You may not make reference by title to any other Covered Product that bears a Licensed Mark, without the express, written permission from the owner of that trademark. You may not refer to any Gold Rush Games product that doesn't bear an Action! System logo.
If you really want permission to do so, you must obtain a separate license from us and we will want to charge you a royalty for the use of that trademark.
Likewise, just because we grant you permission to cite or reference our Action! System books doesn't mean that we can grant you permission to cite or reference other Action! System products from other publishers. You will need to obtain specific, express, written permission from them to do so.
This fulfills the requirement of the OGL to use other people's trademarks on or in your Covered Product. 3. You may not use ANY other trademark logo other than those listed in the ASTL and defined as "Licensed Marks" without the express, written permission from the owner of that trademark. Even though you may reference or cite the name of any of our Action! System books, You may not use any trademark logo from any of our products, whether or not it bears an Action! System logo.
If you really want permission to do so, you must obtain a separate license from us and we will want to charge you a royalty for the use of that trademark logo.
e. Page Numbers: You must not cite page number references. Pagination may change in future printings of the book(s). You may cite chapter, heading, and subheading titles from the Action! System Core Rules or the Fast Action! Basic Rules. (Example: "See A!SCR Chapter 2, Characters, for more information.") Even though you may reference or cite the name of any of our Action! System books, You may not list an actual page number. As is described in the official text, the page numbers may change in future printings of the book9s) you cite or refer to. By leaving out specific page numbers, your reference will always be "up to date" and won't become obsolete as soon as we publish a new edition of the book in question.
V. Trademark Logo Usage A. Requirements 1. Color, Typography and Design: You may not alter the color, typography or design of any licensed trademark logo. You can not change the colors, style, design or other visual attributes of the logos (except as explained below).
2. Dimensions: You may not stretch or distort the dimensions of any licensed trademark logo. You can not make the image taller or wider without also increasing the other dimension by the exact same proportion. For instance, if you reduce the height by 25%, you must also reduce the width by 25%.
This prevents someone from "squishing" the logo, making it look bad or even hard to identify. The look and design of the trademark logos need to remain consistent so that people can clearly recognize your Covered Product as a licensed Action! System product and so that the Action! System brand reputation doesn't suffer from a lousy representation of the logo. 3. Overprinting and Obscuration: You may not allow any part of any licensed trademark logo to be overprinted by another graphic nor may you alter the clarity (i.e., blur or sharpen) of any licensed trademark logo image. You can not cover or obscure either all or part of the Action! System logo, either by hiding all or part of it behind another image or element or by "blurring" the image. It must be completely visible and legible.
You may, however, add elements behind the logo to make it easier to see. For example, you could add a white "halo" or "glow" effect behind the logo when it appears on a dark background, as long as you do not otherwise alter the logo itself. 4. Size: All licensed trademark logos must be reproduced at a size no smaller than one inch in width. This helps to ensure that the logo remains visible, legible and recognizable.
VI. Trade Dress A. No Substantial Duplication You may not substantially duplicate, replicate, simulate or incorporate the Trade Dress of any Gold Rush Games product nor any Covered Product without the express, written permission from the owner of that trademark. You can't make your Covered Product look so similar to another product that it is possible to cause confusion as to whether or not your Covered Product is associated with the other product or its publisher (except that both may be Action! System products), unless you have written permission from the owner or publisher of that other product to do so.
If you really want permission from Gold Rush Games to make your Covered Product similar in appearance to one of our products or product lines, you must obtain a separate license from us and we may want to charge you a royalty for that permission, since such a license would likely also include permission to use the trademark of the associated product, as well. B. Sole Discretion Gold Rush Games reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether a Covered Product substantially duplicates, replicates, simulates or incorporates the Trade Dress of any Gold Rush Games product. It's up to us to determine if a Covered Product is uncomfortably similar in appearance to one of our products, in terms of trade dress.
We're pretty reasonable and we're generously giving permission to use our trademarks at no financial cost to you, but we do reserve a few rights in terms of making sure that people don't confuse your Covered Product with our products. That's only fair. VII. Breach and Termination A. Breach and Cure In the event that You fail to comply with the terms of this License, You will be considered to be in breach of this License and in breach of the OGL. Gold Rush Games will attempt to notify you in writing by sending a Registered Letter to the address listed on the most recent Licensee Registration Form on file, if any. You will have 30 days from the date the notice (the "cure period") to cure the breach to the satisfaction of Gold Rush Games. If no Licensee Registration Form is on file, you will be considered to be in breach of this License immediately. If we find out about a product with our trademark and/or logos in or on it, and we determine that your product violates the rules for using those trademarks that we have outlined in the ASTL, we will try to contact you via registered mail at the address you send us to let you know about the violation(s) and give you 30 days to fix them.
If you don't fix the violations within those 30 days, or if you never sent us your contact information (via the Licensee registration Form) to begin with, you'll be in "breach" meaning that you broke the rules and didn't hold up your end of the bargain. B. Termination If, at the end of the cure period, the breach is not cured, Gold Rush Games may terminate this License without further written notice to You. If we decide to terminate Your license (meaning withdraw our permissions to use our trademarks), we can do so without telling you. All we have to do is notify you of the violations if you've sent us your contact info. We do not have to send you an official notice of termination. (Yikes! It's always best to fix any violations that tell you about right away.)
C. Effects of Termination Upon termination, You shall immediately stop all use of the Licensed Marks and will destroy any inventory or marketing material in Your possession bearing the Action! System Trademark logos. You will remove any use of the Action! System Trademark logos from your advertising, web site, letterhead, or any other use. You must instruct any company or individual that You are or become aware of who is in possession of any materials distributed by You bearing the Action! System Trademark logos to destroy those materials. You will solely bear any costs related to carrying out this term of the License. If we terminate Your license, you agree to stop using our trademarks and logos, and to destroy any remaining copies of your Product or advertising/marketing material that uses our trademarks or trademark logos.
You must also remove the Action! System trademark and trademark logos from current or future advertising, web site, and anything else. You must also tell anyone that has any copies of your Product with our trademark or trademark logo on it to destroy those copies.
Lastly, You agree that any costs that we incur in making sure that these conditions are actually met will be your responsibility to repay. After all, it's only fair that if we have to spend money to make sure someone complies with the agreement that they voluntarily agreed to, they pay those costs. D. Penalty for Failure to Comply with Termination Instructions If You fail to comply with the Effects of Termination, Gold Rush Games may, at its option, pursue litigation, for which You shall be responsible for all legal costs, against You to the full extent of the law for breach of contract, copyright and trademark infringement, damages and any other remedy available. If you don't destroy the copies and tell other people with copies of your product as instructed in the previous section, we can, at our option, sue you. And if we do sue you, You agree to pay for all of our legal costs, fees and damages associated with that law suit, up to the maximum amount allowable by law.
This protects us from having to bear the ultimate cost of defending our intellectual properties, instead putting the burden of cost of that defense on the party who violates our agreement and infringes on our copyrights and/or trademarks. VIII. Changes and Updates A. Updates Gold Rush Games may issue updates and/or new releases of the Licensed Marks without prior notice. You will, at the earliest possible opportunity, update all material distributed by You to use the updated and/or new version of the Licensed Marks. You may continue to distribute any pre-existing material that bears an older version of the Licensed Marks. We might change the Action! System trademark logos in the future. If we do, you have to use the new ones on any new Covered products you produce. Existing Covered Products can continue to use the old logo, unless, of course, you publish a new edition, in which case you must go ahead and use the new logo.
B. Changes to Terms of the License Gold Rush Games may issue updates and/or revisions to the ASTL without prior notice. We might change the terms of the ASTL in the future without announcing it in advance.
1. Compliance with new versions of the ASTL: You will, at the earliest possible opportunity, conform in all respects to the updated or revised terms of this License. If we do update the ASTL, you have to make any necessary changes to your Covered Product(s) in order to make them compliant with the new, updated version of the ASTL as soon as you are able to.
2. Distribution of pre-existing material: For a period of 120 days You may continue to distribute any pre-existing material that complies with a previous version of the License. Thereafter written consent should be obtained from Gold Rush Games. Subsequent versions of this License will bear a different version number. If we do update the ASTL, you can continue to distribute, sell, etc., any products that existed prior to the date of the new ASTL. After those 120 days, you can only continue to distribute, sell, etc., any pre-existing products with our written permission.
C. Updates of Licensee information You may transmit an updated version of the "licreg.pdf" Licensee Registration Form at any time to Gold Rush Games. You are free to send us updated contact information for yourself, via a new Licensee Registration Form, at any time.
IX. Maintenance and Warranty A. No maintenance or support Gold Rush Games shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide You with any kind of maintenance or support in relation to the Licensed Marks. If the trademark logos "don't work" for you for whatever reason, we are not under an obligation to provide assistance to solve the problem. Chances are that we will provide you with help (such as making new files available, suggestions or advice, or what have you), but we are not legally required to do so.
B. NO WARRANTY / DISCLAIMER THE ACTION! SYSTEM, ACTION! PACKED, ACTION! READY AND FAST ACTION! TRADEMARK LOGO FILES ARE MADE AVAILABLE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS. GOLD RUSH GAMES DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, USE OR MERCHANTABILITY. GOLD RUSH GAMES MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE TRADEMARK LOGO FILES ARE ERROR-FREE.
