- Economy v2 and/or PlayFab inventory records used to provide inventory, entitlements, faction access, and unlocks (including FACTION_ALIENS / "The Aliens" entitlement)

- Transaction-related metadata provided by platform/payment ecosystems (for example, Apple/Google/Steam purchase context where applicable)

E. Local device storage

- Local settings and preferences stored on your device, such as language preference AB_Language, consent/account status cache keys such as AB_GDPR_* where used, and other local settings

- Exported data files created by you using in-game Export Data, saved to the app's persistent data path or a user-selected destination

- Temporary/cache files needed for game operation, reliability, and platform integration

F. Technical, diagnostic, and security data

- Device/app/runtime context needed for troubleshooting, reliability, abuse prevention, and security

- Server/API request metadata used for service operation and protection

- Authentication/session artifacts (such as session tickets and entity tokens) processed transiently for authentication/security operations

4) How We Use Information

We use information to:

- Provide, maintain, and improve Alien Bloom online services

- Authenticate accounts and process multiplayer/game actions

- Perform server-authoritative account login and account-linking flows (including device-based login, temporary link-code verification, and linked-device association)

- Operate matchmaking, world map, battle, and related game systems

- Provide in-app purchases and entitlements

- Store and enforce consent choices

- Process account deletion/export requests and related support workflows

- Detect, investigate, and prevent abuse, fraud, cheating, and security incidents

- Enforce active-session protections to reduce unauthorized concurrent use of a single Alien ID in multiple matches/sessions

- Support account recovery, restore unlocks, support requests, account linking, and fraud/security checks tied to Alien ID/PlayFabId

- Comply with legal, accounting, platform, and regulatory obligations

5) Service Providers and Third Parties

We use service providers/processors to operate Alien Bloom, including:

- Microsoft PlayFab (core account/backend service provider)

- Microsoft Azure services, including Azure Functions, Azure Table Storage, and diagnostics services. Where enabled, this may include Azure diagnostics/Application Insights (hosting, backend execution, storage, diagnostics/security).

- Unity, including the Unity game engine/runtime and Unity Services where enabled, such as Unity Authentication, Cloud Code, Cloud Save, Economy, In-App Purchasing, Analytics/operational analytics, diagnostics, crash/error reporting, or related operational services

- Platform operators and storefront ecosystems such as Apple, Google, and Steam

- Community/social platforms we use for communication and community engagement: Discord, YouTube, X, Facebook, TikTok (community/social/marketing links/channels, not gameplay identity providers unless explicitly integrated)

These providers process information under their own terms/policies and/or agreements with us, depending on the service relationship.

6) Analytics, Advertising, and Tracking

Based on the current implementation and privacy audit:

- We do not sell personal data.

- We do not intentionally use personalized advertising / targeted advertising in Alien Bloom.

- Alien Bloom may use operational analytics, telemetry, diagnostics, and crash/error reporting to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Game.

- These are not intended for personalized advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising.

- We do not intentionally use advertising SDKs or targeted advertising in Alien Bloom.

If third-party platforms process data in their own services (for example, app store or social platform interactions), that processing is governed by those platforms' policies.

7) In-App Purchases

Alien Bloom uses in-app purchases only.

We process purchase/entitlement information needed to validate transactions, grant items/features, prevent fraud/abuse, and support accounting/compliance requirements.

Alien Bloom uses PlayFab Economy v2 and/or PlayFab inventory systems to manage purchases, entitlements, faction access, and unlocks.

Platform stores (such as Apple, Google, and Steam) process billing and payments under their own policies.

Raw receipts, payment card data, and platform-private billing details are not stored directly by Alien Bloom.

8) Gameplay, Multiplayer, and Account State

Alien Bloom is an online multiplayer game. Backend services process and store account and gameplay state needed to run online play, including world map and battle systems, matchmaking state, bot takeover logic, and outcome/status records.

9) Diagnostic Logs and Security

We use diagnostic and security logging for operations and incident response. The game/backend may process technical logs, error diagnostics, security events, matchmaking/session events, entitlement checks, and export/deletion lifecycle events.

Logs are used to operate the service, troubleshoot issues, prevent abuse, and secure the game. Current production-log controls are designed to reduce sensitive-data exposure.

Diagnostic and SDK error messages may include technical context needed to troubleshoot service issues. Production controls are designed to avoid intentional logging of raw secrets, tokens, receipts, raw link codes, full account dumps, full gameplay-state dumps, or full export/deletion payloads.

In production, we do not intentionally log raw secrets/tokens or full sensitive payloads, and we use masking/redaction controls for identifiers and sensitive fields where practical. This includes controls intended to avoid intentional production logging of:

- Raw secrets, auth tokens, session tickets, entity tokens, or auth headers

- Raw receipts

- Full account payloads or raw account dumps

- Full deletion/export payloads

- Raw link codes

- Full gameplay state payloads or full gameplay-state dumps

Session tickets and entity tokens are processed transiently for authentication/security and are not intentionally logged in production.

We work to limit and redact logs where practical.

Development/debug environments may include more verbose diagnostics than production.

10) Data Retention

We retain data only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including:

- Operating the Game and maintaining account/gameplay continuity while your account is active

- Security, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, and incident investigation

- Legal, tax/accounting, dispute, and platform compliance obligations

- Enforcing/recording consent and account lifecycle decisions

- Retaining purchase/entitlement records as needed to provide owned content and comply with platform/legal requirements

- Retaining deletion lifecycle records as needed for processing, auditing, and disputes

Exported JSON files created through Export Data are saved locally first and remain on your device and/or chosen destination until you delete them.

Local device settings and cache data remain on your device until changed, cleared, or removed.

Where exact retention durations are not fixed in this policy, retention is based on the criteria above and applicable legal/platform requirements.

11) Account Deletion and Data Export

A. Account deletion lifecycle

When you request deletion:

1. We record the request.

2. The account may enter a pending deletion grace period.

3. While deletion is pending, online play/account features may be blocked.

4. If you log in during the grace period, pending deletion may be canceled.

5. After the grace period, we complete deletion and/or anonymization according to our systems and workflows.

B. Retained exceptions

Even after deletion/anonymization, we may retain limited information where permitted or required for legal obligations, security, fraud prevention, accounting, disputes, platform compliance, or transaction records.

C. Data export scope and limitations

To support privacy rights and data portability, players can use Export Data from the in-game G.E.N.I.E. menu.

Export creates a JSON file named like AlienBloom_DataExport_yyyyMMdd_HHmmss.json.

The export JSON is structured and machine-readable, and may include:

- Account identifiers (for example Alien ID, PlayFabId/internal account identifiers, and gameplay PlayerId where applicable)

- Consent records (privacy/terms status, accepted versions, timestamps, withdrawal/deletion status where applicable)

- Deletion lifecycle records (request/pending/cancel/finalized metadata where available)

- Gameplay/account summaries and statistics

- Classic inventory data and Economy v2 inventory/entitlement data (such as item ID, display name, count, and available catalog/collection metadata)

- Explanatory metadata about export generation

Export does not include raw secrets/tokens, service credentials, raw receipts, internal abuse/security signals, or other players' data.

Export scope may still be limited by:

- Security/integrity safeguards

- Data about other users

- Trade-secret or anti-abuse protections

- Legal, platform, or technical constraints

- Data not reasonably linked to your verified account

D. Export file delivery and sharing

- On Steam/PC, the game may open the folder and/or reveal the exported file after export.

- On Android/iOS, the game may open the system share sheet so you can choose where to save or share the exported JSON (for example email, AirDrop, cloud storage, or another app).

- You control where the exported file is sent or stored after export.

- If opening/sharing fails, the game may copy only the exported file path to the clipboard to help you locate it.

- The game does not copy exported JSON file contents to the clipboard.

12) Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

- Access personal information we hold about you

- Request correction of inaccurate information

- Request deletion of your information

- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

- Request export/portability of data we can provide in a structured format

- Opt out where applicable under local law

How to request: email alienpokerhelp@gmail.com.

We may take reasonable steps to verify identity before fulfilling requests.

If we deny a request, you may ask us to review/appeal that decision by replying to our decision email or contacting alienpokerhelp@gmail.com with "Privacy Appeal" in the subject line.

13) GDPR / EEA / UK / Switzerland Legal Bases

For users in the EEA, UK, Switzerland, or other regions with GDPR-style laws, our legal bases may include:

- Contract necessity: to provide account login, account linking, online multiplayer gameplay, matchmaking, world map state, battle and space battle systems, purchases, entitlements, unlocks, support features, deletion/export tools, and other requested game services.

- Legal obligation: to comply with tax, accounting, platform, dispute, regulatory, and lawful request obligations.

- Vital/public interests are generally not expected to apply to Alien Bloom's ordinary processing.

14) U.S. State Privacy Rights

California-style disclosures (CPRA/CCPA context)

- In the preceding 12 months, we may have collected and disclosed to service providers/processors the categories described in this Policy, including identifiers, account and gameplay state, purchase and entitlement records, consent/deletion records, local settings where applicable, diagnostics/security data, and operational analytics.

- We disclose these categories to service providers/processors for service operation, security, support, compliance, purchases/entitlements, diagnostics, and product improvement.

- Sale/sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising: we do not sell personal information and do not intentionally share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

- Sensitive information: we do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information such as precise geolocation, government identification numbers, biometric data, health information, or similar sensitive categories for the purpose of inferring characteristics. If any information is treated as sensitive under applicable law, we use it only as permitted for service operation, security, fraud prevention, compliance, support, or other allowed purposes. We do not sell or share sensitive personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

- You may request access, deletion, correction, and (where applicable) limit/use controls available under law.

15) International Users

Alien Bloom is operated from the United States and uses service providers that may process data in multiple countries.

Your data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your home country, subject to applicable safeguards and contractual protections where required.

Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers, which may include contractual protections, standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, or other lawful transfer mechanisms used by us or our service providers.

16) Children and Minors

Alien Bloom is intended for adults (18+). We do not knowingly provide the Game for minors under 18. If you believe a minor has provided personal information in connection with Alien Bloom, contact us at alienpokerhelp@gmail.com so we can review and take appropriate action.

17) Security

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect information, including access controls, logging/monitoring, and data-handling safeguards. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

18) Third-Party Links and Community Platforms

Alien Bloom Terms and Conditions

Version: 1.3

Effective Date: May 7, 2026

Last Updated: May 24, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Bestwood Studios LLC ("Bestwood," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") for your access to and use of Alien Bloom and related services.

Alien Bloom is an online multiplayer freemium game that depends on online backend services.

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Alien Bloom (the "Game"), our website at https://www.alienbloom.com, and/or our official community channels (including Discord, YouTube, X, Facebook, TikTok, and other official channels we operate), you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree, do not use the Game or Services.

1) Company and Service Overview

Bestwood Studios LLC provides Alien Bloom and related online services.

Alien Bloom includes fictional game mechanics and online multiplayer systems, account systems, progression systems, social/community channels, and optional in-app purchases.

2) Eligibility (18+)

You must be at least 18 years old to use Alien Bloom.

By using Alien Bloom, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older and legally able to enter into this agreement.

3) No Real-Money Gambling or Wagering

Alien Bloom does not provide real-money gambling, wagering, cash prizes, or monetary-value prizes.

Any terms in the Game such as "chips," "hexes," "bet," "raise," "all-in," "pot," or similar terminology describe fictional in-game mechanics only. They do not represent real currency, real wagering, or any right to money or monetary-value prizes.

Alien Bloom is not intended to provide personalized advertising, targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising. Operational analytics, diagnostics, and security logging may be used as described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

4) License to Use the Game

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Bestwood grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use Alien Bloom for your personal, non-commercial entertainment use.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise exploit the Game or Services except:

(a) as expressly permitted by these Terms; or

(b) to the limited extent non-waivable applicable law expressly permits.

5) User Content and Content Creation Permission

We permit players and creators to make and share content featuring Alien Bloom gameplay, including videos, livestreams, screenshots, reviews, guides, social posts, and monetized creator content.

This permission is subject to these Terms and any published community/platform rules.

You keep ownership of your original commentary and creative expression, but Bestwood and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in Alien Bloom, including all game assets, characters, art, audio, code, trademarks, and related intellectual property.

You may not claim ownership of Bestwood assets or distribute standalone game assets outside normal gameplay capture/use.

6) Accounts and Identifiers

Alien Bloom may use one or more account/identity models, including:

- Guest or device-derived sign-in flows, which may use CustomId, ServerCustomId, or similar backend/device login identifiers

- Platform account sign-in where applicable (for example, Apple, Google, Steam, or other platform identity systems)

- PlayFab/account identifiers (including PlayFab IDs)

- Alien ID, which is a user-facing label for the account identifier

- Gameplay-specific PlayerId identifiers used for online multiplayer state

Linked devices may be associated with an Alien ID, and temporary link codes may be used to link a device.

Account linking switches a device to the target/keeper Alien ID/account and does not merge separate accounts, transfer all progress, or guarantee recovery of an old local account.

We may limit the number of linked devices per Alien ID (including a current limit of 3 linked devices) and may reject or revoke links for security, abuse, fraud, or platform compliance reasons.

You are responsible for activity on your account or device access path, and for maintaining appropriate security of your device(s), credentials, linked platform accounts, and link codes.

You may not sell, share, trade, transfer, or grant unauthorized access to your account.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, export, correction, deletion, or appeal related to account data. These requests are handled through our Privacy Policy process and support contact at alienpokerhelp@gmail.com.

7) Online Service Dependency and Required Updates

Alien Bloom is an online multiplayer game that depends on live services and compatible software.

Use of the Game may require, at minimum:

- Supported app/client version

- Compatible device/platform environment

- Internet connectivity

- Availability of backend and infrastructure services, including PlayFab, Azure, and relevant platform services

Account login, account linking, Restore Unlocks, entitlement verification, matchmaking, and active-session controls require live backend services.

Same Alien ID concurrent active session/match restrictions may prevent launching or joining another match until the current session is left, closed, or cleared by backend systems.

We may require updates, patches, or version changes to continue accessing some or all features.

8) Backend-Authoritative Gameplay and Finality

Alien Bloom gameplay is backend-authoritative. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, backend/server records are authoritative for online game state and outcomes, including but not limited to:

- Action legality/validation

- Turn timing and timers

- Match/battle actions and sequencing

- Bot takeover and abandonment handling

- Victory/defeat determinations

- Match closure and result recording

- Account/gameplay state persistence and reconciliation

- Account login/session validation

- Account linking and linked-device status

- Entitlement verification

- Active-session guard and duplicate-session prevention

- Leave-match, abandonment, bot takeover, and re-queue eligibility

Client-side displays may lag, desync, or differ temporarily from final backend state.

9) Virtual Goods, In-App Purchases, and Entitlements

Alien Bloom uses in-app purchases only.

Alien Bloom may offer virtual goods, currencies, items, cosmetics, entitlements, or other digital content ("Virtual Goods") via in-app purchases.

All Virtual Goods are provided as limited-license digital content, not as personal property. Virtual Goods are:

- Non-transferable

- Non-redeemable for cash

- Not exchangeable for real money

- Without cash value or monetary-value prize rights

Virtual Goods and entitlements are generally account-bound to the Alien ID/account where granted, unless otherwise allowed by applicable platform/provider rules.

Platform billing and payment processing are handled through the applicable platform/store where available, including Apple, Google, and Steam.

Bestwood and service providers (including PlayFab and Azure) may process entitlement and inventory metadata (including Economy systems) to grant, verify, restore, secure, and protect purchased or unlocked content.

Restore Unlocks checks the currently logged-in account/Alien ID and platform/provider records.

Account linking does not guarantee merging purchases or entitlements from multiple separate accounts.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we may modify, rebalance, disable, remove, replace, or discontinue Virtual Goods or related features as needed for gameplay balance, exploit prevention, security, legal/platform compliance, or service operations.

10) Purchases, Billing, and Refunds

Purchases and payment processing are handled by the applicable platform/store and are subject to that platform's terms and policies, including where applicable Apple, Google, Steam, and other platforms where Alien Bloom is made available.

Refund eligibility, billing disputes, and payment reversals are generally determined by the platform/store that processed the purchase.

Purchases may require platform verification and backend entitlement checks.

Failed, canceled, or reversed payments may result in entitlement removal or restriction where allowed by applicable law and platform rules.

Bestwood does not control third-party platform refund determinations.

11) Data Export and Portability

Where available for an authenticated account, G.E.N.I.E. Export Data provides a machine-readable JSON account data export.

Export files use the filename pattern AlienBloom_DataExport_yyyyMMdd_HHmmss.json.

On PC/Steam builds, the Game may reveal or open the export file location.

On Android/iOS builds, the Game may present a platform share sheet where available.

After you save or share an export, the destination, onward storage, and sharing controls are managed by you and/or your selected platform or app.

12) Account Deletion and Effects

Account deletion and privacy lifecycle handling are described in our Privacy Policy.

When deletion is requested, an account may enter a pending-deletion/grace state. During this state, online features or login may be restricted. Logging in during the grace period may cancel deletion where supported by current workflows.

After final deletion/anonymization, you may permanently lose access to account-linked services, progression, Virtual Goods, entitlements, linked-device associations, account-linking records, match history, Alien ID access, and online gameplay state, subject to limited retained exceptions described in the Privacy Policy (for example, legal, security, fraud, accounting, dispute, or platform compliance needs).

Linking another device does not avoid account deletion restrictions or outcomes.

13) User Conduct Rules

You agree to use Alien Bloom and related channels lawfully and respectfully.

You must not:

- Cheat, exploit bugs, bot, script, or use unauthorized automation

- Use or distribute modified clients or unauthorized third-party tools

- Manipulate packets, API calls, requests, receipts, restore-unlocks flows, account identifiers, session tickets, or server communications

- Perform replay attacks, stale request abuse, request forgery, or timing abuse

- Misuse account-link codes, share link codes publicly, use another person's link code without permission, or attempt unauthorized account/device linking

- Attempt to bypass linked-device limits

- Attempt to bypass active-session guard or same Alien ID concurrency controls

- Attempt to bypass, disable, or undermine PlayFab/Azure/backend validation, login flows, or security controls (including ServerCustomId/CustomId handling)

- Reverse engineer/decompile/disassemble except to the limited extent applicable law requires permission

- Sell, share, trade, hijack, or obtain unauthorized account access

- Harass, threaten, stalk, or abuse others

- Post unlawful content, spam, malicious links, or disruptive content

- Disrupt service integrity, matchmaking, community spaces, or other users' experience

14) Enforcement and Remedies

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if we believe you violated these Terms or compromised game integrity, we may take action including:

- Warnings

- Content removal/moderation

- Temporary or permanent suspension

- Account termination

- Matchmaking or feature restrictions

- Rollback/removal of illicit progress, entitlements, or Virtual Goods

- Revocation of linked devices, invalidation of link codes, or restriction of account linking

- Session clear/closure actions and re-queue restriction actions

- Technical blocking of access/devices/accounts

- Referral/reporting to platform operators or law enforcement where appropriate

Enforcement and integrity reviews may rely on backend records, security/diagnostic logs, entitlement and inventory records, platform/store records, and gameplay-integrity metadata.

We may act with or without prior notice depending on severity, risk, and operational constraints.

15) Logging, Diagnostics, and Security Operations

We may use operational analytics, telemetry, diagnostic logs, crash/error reporting, and security logging for service operations, fraud/abuse prevention, support, troubleshooting, incident response, gameplay integrity, reliability, and product improvement.

Production controls are designed to avoid intentional logging of raw secrets, auth tokens, session tickets, entity tokens, raw receipts, raw link codes, full account dumps, full gameplay-state dumps, or full export/deletion payloads. Diagnostic and SDK error messages may include technical context needed to troubleshoot service issues. Development/debug environments may include more verbose diagnostics than production.

16) Community and Social Platforms

Your participation in official community channels (including Discord, YouTube, X, Facebook, TikTok, alienbloom.com, and any other official channels) must comply with:

- These Terms

- Any channel-specific community guidelines we publish

- The applicable third-party platform rules/terms

We may moderate, limit, or remove content and/or access in our channels to protect community safety and service integrity.

17) Feedback and Suggestions

If you choose to share feedback, ideas, suggestions, or feature requests, you allow Bestwood to use them to improve, develop, market, and operate Alien Bloom without compensation or obligation to you. You understand that we may use similar ideas or features in the Game, even if they are based on or similar to feedback you provided.

18) Third-Party Services and Terms

Alien Bloom may rely on or interoperate with third-party services and platforms, depending on build/platform and where enabled, including Microsoft PlayFab, Microsoft Azure services, the Unity game engine/runtime, Unity Services where enabled (such as Unity Authentication, Cloud Code, Cloud Save, Economy, In-App Purchasing, Analytics/operational analytics, diagnostics, crash/error reporting, or related operational services), Apple, Google, Steam, Discord, YouTube, X, Facebook, and TikTok.

Your use of third-party platforms may also be governed by their separate terms and policies. Bestwood is not responsible for third-party services beyond our control.

19) Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, export, and delete information related to Alien Bloom.

Our Privacy Policy is available at https://sites.google.com/view/alienbloom/home and, where provided, in-game.

The Privacy Policy also describes how we handle account identifiers, Alien ID, linked-device records, link-code records, active-session records, authentication/session artifacts, operational analytics, diagnostics, security logging, in-app purchases, entitlements, consent records, account lifecycle records, data export, account deletion, international transfers, and applicable privacy rights request workflows.

20) Service Changes, Maintenance, Outages, and Discontinuation

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we may update, change, suspend, limit, or discontinue any part of Alien Bloom or related services at any time, including for maintenance, security, technical migration, legal/platform requirements, or business reasons.

We do not guarantee continuous availability, uninterrupted uptime, or error-free operation.

21) Disclaimer of Warranties

22) Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Bestwood and its affiliates, licensors, service providers, and partners will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, progress, goodwill, or virtual content, arising from or related to your use of Alien Bloom.

SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1.1 - 26 February 2007

PREAMBLE

The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide development of collaborative font projects, to support the font creation efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and to provide a free and open framework in which fonts may be shared and improved in partnership with others.

The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded, redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives, however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.

DEFINITIONS

"Font Software" refers to the set of files released by the Copyright Holder(s) under this license and clearly marked as such. This may include source files, build scripts and documentation.

"Reserved Font Name" refers to any names specified as such after the copyright statement(s).

"Original Version" refers to the collection of Font Software components as distributed by the Copyright Holder(s).

"Modified Version" refers to any derivative made by adding to, deleting, or substituting -- in part or in whole -- any of the components of the Original Version, by changing formats or by porting the Font Software to a new environment.

"Author" refers to any designer, engineer, programmer, technical writer or other person who contributed to the Font Software.

PERMISSION & CONDITIONS

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of the Font Software, to use, study, copy, merge, embed, modify, redistribute, and sell modified and unmodified copies of the Font Software, subject to the following conditions:

Neither the Font Software nor any of its individual components, in Original or Modified Versions, may be sold by itself.

Original or Modified Versions of the Font Software may be bundled, redistributed and/or sold with any software, provided that each copy contains the above copyright notice and this license. These can be included either as stand-alone text files, human-readable headers or in the appropriate machine-readable metadata fields within text or binary files as long as those fields can be easily viewed by the user.

No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as presented to the users.

The name(s) of the Copyright Holder(s) or the Author(s) of the Font Software shall not be used to promote, endorse or advertise any Modified Version, except to acknowledge the contribution(s) of the Copyright Holder(s) and the Author(s) or with their explicit written permission.

The Font Software, modified or unmodified, in part or in whole, must be distributed entirely under this license, and must not be distributed under any other license. The requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply to any document created using the Font Software.
