Shardana — Terms of Use

Version 1.0Updated

These terms govern the use of the official Shardana website, the official materials and the online services connected to the game. The software licence is a separate document: the EULA. Personal data processing is described in the privacy policy.

1. Who runs the site

The site is run by Alessandro Melia, independent developer and rights holder of Shardana (VAT no. IT05219930236, via Alessandro Manzoni 8, 37038 Soave (VR), Italy, contact form).

2. Using the website

You are free to browse the site to learn about the game. You may not:

  • attempt to access restricted areas or compromise the site’s security;
  • use automated programs that overload the server;
  • submit unlawful, offensive or promotional content through the forms.

The site has no user accounts and sells nothing directly: purchase, demo and wishlist are on the official Steam page.

3. Online services of the game

The demo, the playtest and Shardana’s online features (lobbies, co-op, cloud saves, achievements) run through Steam and require a Steam account, governed by Valve’s Steam Subscriber Agreement. Co-op sessions are hosted on one of the players’ computers: there are no game servers operated by the developer.

Availability of these services may change during development and also depends on third parties.

4. Rules of conduct

When you play with others or take part in the official channels:

  • respect other players: no harassment, threats, discrimination or unlawful content in voice or text chat;
  • do not use programs or modifications that harm other people’s experience;
  • follow the rules of the platforms hosting the communities (Steam, Discord, TikTok, Instagram).

Whoever hosts a session decides who can join. Official channels are also subject to the rules published there. The official Discord server is moderated by Alessandro Melia, who may remove messages and remove anyone who breaks these rules or Discord’s Community Guidelines.

5. Official materials

Shardana’s texts, images, videos, logo, music and models are protected by copyright. The press kit provides materials for press, creators and streamers under the conditions stated on that page.

You may publish and monetise gameplay videos and streams, crediting the title. Reselling the materials or using them in commercial products requires written permission.

Concept art and promotional illustrations are labelled as such and are not in-game images.

6. Content you send

Bug reports and suggestions you send may be used to improve the game with no obligation of compensation. Do not send confidential information or other people’s personal data.

The site links to Steam, Discord, TikTok, Instagram and other sites. These are third-party services with their own terms and policies: the developer does not control their content or operation.

8. Information about the game

Shardana contains violence and horror scenes and is recommended for ages 16 and up. Shardana is in development. Features, content, requirements and timings described on the site may change. The site does not publish release dates or prices until they are officially announced.

9. Limitation of liability

The site is provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for interruptions, errors or indirect damage arising from the use of the site or of connected third-party services. Statutory consumer rights and liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence remain unaffected.

10. Changes

These terms may be updated. The version in force is the one published on this page, with the date of the latest update.

11. Governing law

Italian law applies, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence. To make a complaint, use the contact form: I reply within 30 days. If you are a consumer, disputes remain with the courts of the place where you live.
