-Terms of Use 
-
-What You Get For Purchasing 
-
-When you purchase Minecraft you do so as is, be it in the early stages of 
-development or already fully released. Subsequent updates are only an added 
-bonus and not a guarantee, as icing on a cake. Purchases during the development 
-of the game are discounted and include the full game upon release. 
-
-As we at Mojang strive towards releasing updates for our projects we cannot 
-guarantee that any project will ever be completed and/or provided support for. 
-There's always the risk of a project being discontinued at any time. 
-
-The One Major Rule 
-
-Do not distribute anything we've made. This includes, but not limited to, the 
-client or the server software for the game. This also includes modified versions 
-of anything we've made. Also, you may not resell any gift codes or licence keys 
-- but of course you can give gift codes as gifts. This is necessary so that we 
-can help stop piracy and fraud - and especially users buying keys that have been 
-fraudulently obtained. 
-
-In order to ensure integrity of the game, we need all game downloads to come 
-from a single central source: us. We hope you understand. It's also important 
-for us that 3rd party tools/services don't seem "too official" as we can't 
-guarantee their quality. Make sure to read through our brand guidelines. If you 
-wish to make something pertaining to anything we've made we're humbled, but 
-please make sure that it can't be interpreted as being official. Do not make 
-commercial use of anything we've made unless specifically authorized by us in 
-our brand and assets usage guidelines (which you should read as each of these 
-policies form part of these Terms of Use). 
-
-What You Can Do 
-
-If you've bought the game, you may play around with it and modify it. We'd 
-appreciate it if you didn't use this for griefing, though, and remember not to 
-distribute the changed versions of our software. Basically, mods (or plugins, or 
-tools) are cool (you can distribute those), hacked versions of the Minecraft 
-client or server are not (you can't distribute those). 
-
-Any tools you write for the game from scratch belongs to you. Other than 
-commercial use (unless specifically authorized by us in our brand and assets 
-usage guidelines - for instance you are allowed to put ads on your YouTube 
-videos containing Minecraft footage), you're free to do whatever you want with 
-screenshots and videos of the game, but don't just rip art resources and pass 
-them around, that's no fun. Plugins for the game also belong to you and you can 
-do whatever you want with them, as long as you don't sell them for money. We 
-reserve the final say regarding what constitutes a tool/plugin and what doesn't. 
-
-Other 
-
-We reserve the right to change this agreement at any time with or without notice, 
-with immediate and/or retroactive effect. 
-
-Any suggestions made are assumed to be offered for free unless otherwise agreed 
-before the suggestion was made. We're not going to put up a huge EULA. We're 
-trying to be open and honest, and we hope people treat us the same way back. 
-
-If there's anything legal you're wondering about that isn't answered from this 
-page, don't do it and ask us about it. Basically, don't be ridiculous and we won't.

-Privacy Policy 
-
-When you purchase a game from us, you fill in your personal/company details. You 
-agree that we store and use your information in our organization to complete the 
-agreement towards you. You have the right, according to the law 
-Personuppgiftslagen (PUL) in Sweden to know about the information registered 
-about you. If it is wrong, insufficient or irrelevant you have the right to make 
-sure that it gets corrected or removed.

+MINECRAFT END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT
+
+In order to protect Minecraft (our “Game”) and the members of our community, we
+need these end user licence terms to set out some rules for downloading and
+using our Game. We don‘t like rules any more than you do, so we have tried to
+keep this as short as possible. If you break these rules we may stop you from
+using our Game. If we think it is necessary, we might even have to ask our
+lawyers to get in touch.
+
+If you buy, download, use or play our Game, you are agreeing to stick to the
+rules of these end user licence terms ("EULA”). If you don‘t want to or can‘t
+agree to these rules, then you must not buy, download, use or play our Game.
+This EULA incorporates the terms of use for the mojang.com website (“Account
+Terms”), our brand and asset usage guidelines and our privacy policy. By
+agreeing to this EULA you also agree to all parts of these three documents, so
+please read through them carefully.
+
+ONE MAJOR RULE
+
+The one major rule is that you must not distribute anything we‘ve made. By “distribute
+anything we‘ve made” what we mean is “give copies of the game away, make
+commercial use of, try to make money from, or let other people get access to our
+game and its parts in a way that is unfair or unreasonable”. So the one major
+rule is that (unless we specifically agree it – such as in brand and asset usage
+guidelines) you must not:
+
+ * give copies of our Game to anyone else;
+
+ * make commercial use of anything we‘ve made;
+
+ * try to make money from anything we‘ve made; or
+
+ * let other people get access to anything we‘ve made in a way that is unfair or
+   unreasonable.
+
+…and so that we are crystal clear, what we have made includes, but is not
+limited to, the client or the server software for our Game. It also includes
+modified versions of a Game, part of it or anything else we‘ve made.
+
+Otherwise we are quite relaxed about what you do - in fact we really encourage
+you to do cool stuff - but just don‘t do those things that we say you can‘t.
+
+USING OUR GAME
+
+You have bought the game so you can use it, yourself, on your computer.
+
+Below we also give you limited rights to do other things but we have to draw a
+line somewhere or else people will go too far. If you wish to make something
+pertaining to anything we‘ve made we‘re humbled, but please make sure that it
+can‘t be interpreted as being official and that it complies with this EULA and
+the brand and asset usage guidelines and above all do not make commercial use of
+anything we‘ve made.
+
+The permission we give you to use and play our Game can be revoked if you break
+the terms of this EULA.
+
+When you buy our Game, we give you permission to install the Game on your own
+personal computer and use and play it on that computer as set out in this EULA.
+This permission is personal to you, so you are not allowed to distribute the
+Game (or any part of it) to anyone else. This also means you cannot sell or rent
+the Game, or make it available for access to other people and you cannot pass on
+or resell any licence keys. You may however give gift codes that have been
+bought through our official gift code system. This is important to help us stop
+piracy and fraud and to protect our Game. It is also important to prevent
+members of our community from buying pirated versions of our Game or fraudulent
+licence keys – which we may cancel, such as in the case of fraud.
+
+If you've bought the Game, you may play around with it and modify it. We'd
+appreciate it if you didn't use this for griefing, though, and remember not to
+distribute the changed versions of our software. Basically, mods (or plugins, or
+tools) are cool (you can distribute those), hacked versions of the Game client
+or server are not (you can't distribute those).
+
+Within reason you‘re free to do whatever you want with screenshots and videos of
+the Game. By “within reason” we mean that you can‘t make any commercial use of
+them or do things that are unfair or adversely affect our rights. If you upload
+videos of the game to video sharing and streaming sites you are however allowed
+to put ads on them. Also, don‘t just rip art resources and pass them around,
+that‘s no fun.
+
+Essentially the simple rule is do not make commercial use of anything we‘ve made
+unless specifically agreed by us, either in our brand and asset usage guidelines
+or under this EULA. Oh and if the law expressly allows it, such as under a “fair
+use” or fair dealing” doctrine then that‘s ok too – but only to the extent that
+the law says so.
+
+In order to ensure the integrity of the Game, we need all Game downloads to come
+from a single central source: us. It‘s also important for us that 3rd party
+tools/services don‘t seem “too official” as we can‘t guarantee their quality.
+Make sure that you read through our brand and asset usage guidelines too.
+
+OWNERSHIP OF OUR GAME AND OTHER THINGS
+
+Although we give you permission to play our Game, we are still the owners of it.
+We are also the owners of our brands and any content contained in the Game.
+Therefore, when you pay for our Game, you are buying a permission to play / use
+our Game in accordance with this EULA - you are not buying the Game itself. The
+only permissions you have in connection with the Game are the permissions set
+out in this EULA.
+
+Any tools you write for the Game from scratch belong to you. . Modifications to
+the Game ("Mods") (including pre-run Mods and in-memory Mods) and plugins for
+the Game also belong to you and you can do whatever you want with them, as long
+as you don‘t sell them for money / try to make money from them. We have the
+final say on what constitutes a tool/mod/plugin and what doesn‘t.
+
+CONTENT
+
+If you make any content available on or through our Game, you must give us
+permission to use, copy, modify and adapt that content. This permission must be
+irrevocable, and you must also let us permit other people to use, copy, modify
+and adapt your content. If you don‘t want to give us this permission, do not
+make content available on or through our Game. Please think carefully before you
+make any content available, because it will be made public and might even be
+used by other people in a way you don‘t like.
+
+If you are going to make something available on or through our Game, it must not
+be offensive to people or illegal, it must be honest, and it must be your own
+creation. The types of things you must not make available using our Game include:
+posts that include racist or homophobic language; posts that are bullying or
+trolling; posts that might damage our or another person‘s reputation; posts that
+include porn, advertising or someone else‘s creation or image; or posts that
+impersonate a moderator or try to trick or exploit people.
+
+Any content you make available on our Game must also be your creation. You must
+not make any content available, using the Game, that infringes the rights of
+anyone else. If you post content on our Game, and we get challenged, threatened
+or sued by someone because the content infringes that persons rights, we may
+hold you responsible and that means you may have to pay us back for any damage
+we suffer as a result. Therefore it is really important that you only make
+content available that you have created and you don‘t do so with any content
+created by anyone else.
+
+Please watch out if you are talking to people in our Game. It is hard for either
+you or us to know for sure that what people say is true, or even if people are
+really who they say they are. You should think twice about giving out
+information about yourself.
+
+UPGRADES
+
+We might make upgrades and updates available from time to time, but we don‘t
+have to. We are also not obliged to provide ongoing support or maintenance of
+any Game. Of course, we hope to continue to release new updates for our Game, we
+just can‘t guarantee that we will do so.
+
+OUR LIABILITY
+
+When you get a copy of our Game, we provide it ‘as is‘. Updates and upgrades are
+also provided ‘as is‘. This means that we are not making any promises to you
+about the standard or quality of our Game or that our Game will be uninterrupted
+or error free or for any loss or damage that they cause. We only promise to
+provide the Game and any services with reasonable skill and care and even then
+you have to accept that we may release games well before they are complete and
+so they may (and often will) have bugs – but that‘s a price you pay for getting
+them so early. The law in most countries says that we can‘t disclaim liability
+for death or personal injury caused by our negligence so if your computer gets
+up and stabs you because of something we‘ve done wrong then we‘ll take the hit
+on that.
+
+TERMINATION
+
+If we want we can terminate this EULA if you breach the terms. You can terminate
+it too, at any time, all you have to do is uninstall the Game from your computer
+and the EULA will be terminated. If the EULA is terminated, you will no longer
+be allowed to play our Game. The paragraphs about "Ownership of Our Game”, “Our
+Liability” and “General Stuff” will continue to apply even after the EULA is
+terminated.
+
+GENERAL STUFF
+
+The EULA is subject to any legal rights you might have. Nothing in these terms
+and conditions will limit any of your rights that may not be excluded under law
+nor shall it exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury
+resulting from our negligence nor any fraudulent representation.
+
+We may also change this EULA from time to time but those changes will only be
+effective to the extent that they can legally apply. For example if you only use
+the Game in single player mode and don‘t use the updates we make available then
+the old EULA applies but if you do use the updates or use parts of the game that
+rely on our providing ongoing online services then the new EULA will apply. In
+that case we may not be able to / don‘t need to tell you about the changes for
+them to have effect so you should check back here from time to time so you are
+aware of any changes to the EULA. We‘re not going to be unfair about this though
+- but sometimes the law changes or someone does something that affects other
+users of the Game and we therefore need to put a lid on it.
+
+If you come to us with a suggestion for any one of our Games, that suggestion is
+made for free. This means we can use your suggestion in any way we want and we
+don‘t have to pay you for it. If you think you have a suggestion that we would
+be willing to pay you for, you must tell us you expect to be paid before you
+tell us the suggestion.
