Terms of use
About these terms
These terms cover the Eclipse launcher, its online lobby and rooms, the map generator and this website (together, "Eclipse"). By downloading or using Eclipse you agree to them. Eclipse is an unofficial third-party project run by Rowan Morse. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Beyond All Reason team.

The software
Eclipse is free to download and use. The Windows installer installs Eclipse and the Java runtime it needs into your user folder and adds a Start menu shortcut, plus a desktop shortcut if you choose one. It does not install any other software. You can uninstall it at any time under Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Eclipse → Uninstall.
Eclipse needs Beyond All Reason, which is free from the Beyond All Reason team at beyondallreason.info. Eclipse does not distribute the game.
Eclipse includes third-party software under its own licences: the OpenJDK runtime (GPLv2 with the Classpath Exception) and the Neroxis Map Generator (MIT). The licence texts are included with the download. Maps you generate are yours to use and share.
Eclipse updates itself. Updates are signed, and the launcher refuses any update that is not signed by the publisher.
Accounts
You need an account to play on the Eclipse server. Keep your password to yourself, use one you do not use anywhere else, and do not share or sell your account. One account per person.
Eclipse Prime
Playing in rooms on the Eclipse server needs Prime. New accounts get a free trial; after that Prime is a paid subscription (currently $10 per month, in US dollars). The price and billing terms are shown before you pay, and payments are handled by Stripe.
A subscription renews every month until you cancel it. You can cancel at any time by writing to [email protected]. Prime then stays active until the end of the month you already paid for. Payments are not refunded for partial months, except where the law requires it or if something went wrong on our side.
Promo codes and creator codes can be redeemed in the launcher. Promo codes have no cash value and cannot be sold.
Rules of conduct
Do not harass, threaten or abuse other players, cheat or exploit bugs, spam, impersonate others, attack or overload the server, or use Eclipse for anything illegal. We may mute, suspend or remove accounts that break these rules. For serious abuse this can happen without a refund of Prime.
Availability and changes
Eclipse is run by a small team on a single server. We try to keep it running, but we do not promise it will always be available, and features may change or end. If we shut down the paid service, we will stop billing.
No warranty and limitation of liability
Eclipse is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, lost data or lost profits, and our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us for Prime in the 12 months before it. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law.
Privacy
How we handle your data is explained in the privacy policy.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change, we update this page and the date at the top. If you keep using Eclipse after that, the new terms apply.
