1. Acceptance of Terms

By using the Compatibility Logos or Fonts in connection with any Products (as defined below) , you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement ("License").

2. Copyrights and Trademarks

You acknowledge and agree that Paizo Inc. ("Paizo" or “we”) owns all trademarks and copyrights in and to all editions of the Pathfinder and Starfinder role playing games and universes, as well as any other editions or games published by Paizo now or in the future (the “Games,” individually, a “Game.”). You further acknowledge and agree that Paizo owns all trademarks and copyrights in and to the Pathfinder First Edition Compatibility Logo, the Pathfinder Second Edition Compatibility Logo, the Starfinder First Edition Compatibility Logo, and the Starfinder Second Edition Compatibility Logo (the "Compatibility Logos"), as well as the Pathfinder-Icons font ("Font"). You agree not to contest Paizo's ownership of any intellectual property rights in or to the Games, Compatibility Logos, or Font during the term of this License or thereafter. You also agree not to create or use any names or trademarks similar enough to our trademarks that consumers could be confused about whether your material was produced by or on behalf of Paizo.

3. License Grant

If you are in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this License and the usage requirements set forth in Exhibit A ("Usage Requirements"), you are granted a non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Compatibility Logos and Font in your printed books and electronic books that are compatible with the Games ("Products"), subject to the obligations and limitations set forth in this License. You may not use the Compatibility Logos or Font unless your Product is fully compatible with the Game to which the respective Compatibility Logo or Font applies, pursuant to Section 5 and all other terms of this License. The Compatibility Logos and Font may only be used in the manner specified in this License and in the Usage Requirements and may not be modified except as specifically set forth in the Usage Requirements.

You may use the Compatibility Logos only on Products and in advertisements and websites directly promoting those Products, and only to accurately indicate that the Product is compatible with one or more of the Games.

You may use the Font only within Products and in advertisements and websites directly promoting those Products. You may not redistribute the font file, though you may embed it in a digital file (such as a PDF) produced under this License, for display and/or printing. No other license may be applied to it.

The Compatibility Logos and Font may only be used under this License in compliance with all applicable law, and only in connection with content which you own or for which you have all necessary rights and permissions. You may not use the Compatibility Logos or Font in any way that violates the intellectual property or other rights of Paizo or any third parties. You are solely responsible for assuring you obtain all necessary rights and permissions for your Products. The Compatibility Logos and Font are solely the property of Paizo and no right is granted to sublicense the Compatibility Logos or Font or make any other use not specifically permitted by this License. No license or permission is granted (either expressly or by implication) with respect to any trademarks, copyrights, or other intellectual property right except the Compatibility Logos and Font, and any right not specifically granted hereunder is expressly reserved to Paizo.

4. Usage Restrictions

The license granted hereunder is expressly limited to use of the Compatibility Logos and Font in your printed and electronic books that are compatible with the Games ("Products").

You may not use the Compatibility Logos or Font in a way that suggests Paizo owns, endorses, or is in any way responsible for any part of your Product, or for any conduct of your business, or that suggests that you have any relationship beyond a mere license with us, unless we have executed a separate, written agreement that lets you do so. You also may not state or suggest that we guarantee your Product's compatibility with the Games.

The titles of your Products may not include any Paizo trademarked terms (or marks confusingly similar thereto), including "Pathfinder," “Starfinder,” "Pathfinder Second Edition," or "Pathfinder Roleplaying Game."

You may not use Paizo's trade dress for your Products or advertisements—that is, you may not design your Products or advertisements to look confusingly similar to Paizo's products or advertisements.

You may not do anything illegal in or with your Products.

You must use your best efforts to preserve the high standard of our trademarks. You may not use this License for material that the general public would classify as "adult content," offensive, or inappropriate for minors.

5. Compatibility

In order to make use of the Compatibility Logos or Font on your Products, your Products must operate under and rely on the Games. Using the Compatibility Logos or Font in connection with your or anyone else’s standalone game systems are in no event authorized hereunder.

You agree to use your best efforts to ensure that Products are fully compatible with the Games for which you are claiming compatibility. You may not mislead consumers or misrepresent compatibility in any way, including by using the Compatibility Logo for one Game while your Products or features thereof are only compatible with a different Game, indicating compatibility with multiple Games when the Products are only compatible with one Game, or otherwise failing to properly identify or distinguish compatibility. Products may additionally be compatible with other systems, so long as they are accurately compatible with the Game for which you use the Compatibility Logo or Font.

6. References

If you wish to reference sections of a Paizo product in your Product, you may do so in the following form:

See the "Elf Heritages" section in Chapter 2 of Pathfinder Player Core.

You may not use page numbers, as they may change in licensed translations and in subsequent printings.

You may accurately reference Paizo products only within the written content of your Products; you may not reference them in your title, on your front cover, in your website domain name, or in advertisements. If the title of a Paizo product contains Paizo Copyrights, Trademarks, or other proprietary information, this License allows use of that intellectual property solely in the context of referencing that Paizo product by its title on the terms permitted by this License; no other use of that intellectual property is permitted. You may not reference any other Paizo intellectual property without express written permission.

If you want to publish in a language other than English, and Paizo has published (or has licensed the rights to publish) the Game(s) in that language, you must use the exact translations prepared for that foreign-language edition of that Game. In the case that the licensed translation has not yet been released, you must wait until the translation is released before you can release your Product in that language.

7. Effective Dates

The License will become effective as soon as you publish any material using the Compatibility Logos or Font.

8. Breach and Cure

If you fail to comply with any of the terms of this License, you will be in breach and we will have the right to terminate this License. We will send notice to you at the email address or other contact address we believe in good faith to be valid. You will have thirty days from the date we send notice to cure the breach to our satisfaction. If the breach has not been fully and completely cured, we reserve the right to terminate the License with no further notice and take any other action we deem necessary to protect our rights, including by submitting takedown requests against your noncompliant Products. After termination, you will not have the right to secure a new license from us without specific written consent.

9. Termination

We can terminate this License at any time, at our sole discretion.

If we terminate the License due to breach, you have to immediately stop selling products that use the Compatibility Logos or Font and you must destroy all of your inventory of those products (including all marketing material). You may not make any more products that use the Compatibility Logos or Font. You must immediately suspend any advertisements and any web content promoting products that use the Compatibility Logos or Font. If there are any costs associated with any of this, the responsibility for paying them is exclusively yours.

If we terminate the License for any reason other than breach, you may no longer make any new products using the Compatibility Logos or Font, but you may continue to sell existing physical products that were compliant under this License as long as you have inventory. If you sell out of a compliant product, you must remove the Compatibility Logos and Font from future print runs. In the case of products that do not have physical inventory, such as PDFs, you must stop selling them within 30 days of termination, but if you remove the Compatibility Logos and Font from them, you may start selling them again.

Note that if we terminate this License, and you publish products that make use of our copyrighted content available under another license offered by Paizo, you still have to comply with all provisions of that other license.

10. Updates

Paizo may update this License or any applicable Exhibits at any time. The latest version is available at paizo.com/licenses/compatibility. If you published anything under a previous version of this License, you can choose to use either the version in place at the time you originally published the work or the updated version. For new Products, you may only use the current version of the License. You must always use the most recent version of each applicable Exhibit.

We may update the Compatibility Logos, Font, and the text required by Exhibit A ("Compatibility Text") at any time. You agree to use good faith efforts to stop using old Compatibility Logos, Fonts, and Compatibility Text and start using the updated Compatibility Logos, Font, and Compatibility Text for new Products. You may continue to sell items made with the old Compatibility Logos, Font, or Compatibility Text as long as you continue to comply with the terms of this License. If you reprint Products that were originally published using old Compatibility Logos, Font, or Compatibility Text, we request, but do not require, that you use the new Compatibility Logos, Font, and Compatibility Text.

11. Arbitration and Jurisdiction

Paizo and you agree that all disputes related to this License shall governed by the local laws of the State of Washington. Both you and Paizo irrevocably and unconditionally consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of State and Federal courts located in King County, Washington with respect to any claim, action or legal proceeding related to this License, and both you and Paizo agree to bring all legal action related to this License before such courts. You agree that such courts will be mutually directed to award the prevailing party in any dispute its legal fees and court costs in addition to any other appropriate monetary or injunctive relief such court deems appropriate.

12. Warranties and Limitation of Liability

Paizo makes no warranties about the suitability for your business of the License, Compatibility Logos, or Font. Paizo is not obligated to provide support for your use of the Compatibility Logos or Font. Paizo may not be held liable for any damages (incidental, consequential, or otherwise) resulting from your use of the Compatibility Logos or Font or your agreement to this License.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold Paizo harmless from any claims, demands or suits brought with respect to any Products produced by or for you.
