Licensing | Cold Creek Roleplay

Cold Creek License

The full licence is set out below and it is what governs. First, the part that actually concerns players, in plain words.

Video, streaming and screenshots are fine. Record your sessions, upload them, monetise them. You do not need our permission and you do not owe us a credit, though one is always welcome.
Your own character is your own. The name, the story and the screenshots you make of it are yours to use however you want.
Ask first for anything else. Redistributing the mod or its files, reusing the terrain, artwork, models or code in another project or server, or republishing CreekLink or its data.

Asking is not a formality and it is not usually a no. Come and say what you want to do. Nothing in those three lines narrows the licence below, and where the two ever seem to disagree, the licence is the one that counts.

The licence in full

This mod is published for one purpose: use on the Cold Creek Arma Reforger server. Nothing else is granted.

1. Permitted use

You may load and use this mod only while playing on, or hosting, the Cold Creek server. Use on any other server, community, or project is not permitted without prior written permission from 10RR.

2. Restrictions

No party may, under any circumstances:

Redistribute this mod or any part of it, in any form, on any platform.
Edit, modify, tweak, patch, repack, or otherwise alter it in any way.
Create derivative works from it, or extract scripts, assets, or data from it for use elsewhere.
Rehost, mirror, or reupload it, including to the Arma Reforger Workshop under another account.
Sublicense it, relicense it, or present it as their own work.

These restrictions apply to everyone, including server owners, other mod authors, and members of the Cold Creek community. Permission to use the mod is not permission to change it.

3. Enforcement

Any use outside these terms ends your permission to use the mod immediately. 10RR may report violating uploads for takedown and pursue any other remedy available to it.

4. Ownership

The 10th Ranger Regiment (10RR) owns this mod in full and retains all rights to it permanently. That includes, without limitation, the rights to edit, distribute, relicense, and reuse the mod or any part of it. Downloading, subscribing to, or playing with this mod transfers no rights to anyone.

5. Scope, third parties, and disclaimer

This license covers the systems authored by 10RR only. It does not cover the mods this system depends on, which belong to their respective authors and remain under their own licenses. For those, refer to the license each author has published. Nothing here grants or restricts any rights in the dependencies, and 10RR claims no ownership of them. Credits are listed under 3rd Party License and Asset Licensing below.

This is a fan-made modification for Arma Reforger. It is not made, endorsed, or supported by Bohemia Interactive. Bohemia Interactive's own terms for Arma Reforger and the Workshop apply in addition to this license. The mod is provided as is, with no warranty of any kind.

For questions or permission requests, contact the 10th Ranger Regiment.

3rd Party License

What Cold Creek is built on, and what belongs to somebody else.

Arma Reforger: Copyright Bohemia Interactive a.s. Arma, Enfusion and Bohemia Interactive are trademarks or registered trademarks of Bohemia Interactive a.s. Cold Creek is a fan-made modification. It is not made, endorsed or supported by Bohemia Interactive, and Bohemia's own terms for Arma Reforger and the Workshop apply in addition to ours. You need your own copy of the game to play.
Third-party mods: None. The Cold Creek mod depends on the Arma Reforger base game and nothing else, and bundles no third-party mod code. Frameworks it once used to read another community's roster were removed along with every reference to them, so nothing derived from them remains.

Asset Licensing

Where the models, textures and sounds in Cold Creek come from.

Base game assets: Everything Cold Creek draws from Arma Reforger itself, the models, materials, sounds and animations, remains the property of Bohemia Interactive a.s. and always will. They are referenced by GUID rather than copied, so they are never extracted from the game and never redistributed by us: they load from your own installation, which is why you need your own copy of Arma Reforger to play. Nothing in this mod transfers any right to them, and nothing about our use of them is endorsed by Bohemia Interactive.
Licensed models: Our team has spent an immense amount of time and money procuring assets for every stage of development. Sources include CGTrader, TurboSquid, 3DMA, Vergys, Hyun and Fab. Sounds are CC0 from Pixabay. Licences are held by the project owner and the provenance of each asset is recorded alongside it.
Everything else: Authored by the 10RR community. The terrain, the buildings, the signage and the interface art were made for Cold Creek.

We check where an asset came from before it ships, not after. Anything whose licence we cannot establish does not go in the game.

Rights and Claims

If something here is yours, we want to know.

If you believe anything on this site, on CreekLink or in the Cold Creek mod infringes your rights, tell us and we will look at it properly. Say what the material is, where you saw it, and what your claim to it is.

We would rather take something down and talk about it than argue about whether we have to.
