Third-Party Mods Notice

Effective date: October 5, 2026

This notice explains the Mods page at summer.games/mods. It adds to the Summer Games Terms of Service and the DMCA and Intellectual Property Policy and does not replace either of them.

1. What the Mods page is

1.1 Third-party fan projects. The Mods page lists fan-made mods for games published by other companies. Each mod is made, published and hosted by its own creator. These mods are not Summer Originals, not Games or other UGC published on the Platform, and not "Mods" as defined in Section 12 of the Terms, which covers mods of Games on Summer Games.

1.2 Links only. Summer Games hosts no mod files and no game files. Each listing links to its creator's own page, and every download comes from that creator under the creator's own terms and license. Those pages are third-party services under Section 5.6 of the Terms.

1.3 No affiliation. Unless a listing says otherwise, Summer is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the publishers of the games involved or by the mod creators. Game names and images are used only to identify the games and belong to their owners.

2. Your responsibility

2.1 Your own copies. A mod runs on games you already have. You need your own lawful copy of every game a mod uses, including any game files or ROM the mod asks you to supply from a copy you own, and you are responsible for following each game's and store's terms, including their rules on modding, online play and anti-cheat.

2.2 Install prompts. The install and make-your-own prompts are text that you choose to run in your own coding agent on your own computer. Summer does not run them, does not see what your agent does, and does not control the agent or its provider.

2.3 At your own risk. Mods change game files. They can break a game, corrupt saves, conflict with anti-cheat or online services and lead to a ban from a game or its online service. Back up your files, play offline when a mod says so, and never use a mod in online modes that forbid it. On Summer Games itself, Section 6.3 of the Terms still applies.

3. How listings are chosen

3.1 What we check. Before listing a mod, Summer checks that it is made and hosted by its creator, has a published release or documented build with the creator's own screenshots or video, says up front whether it replaces game files or includes other projects, has no unresolved antivirus reports, and says what it needs. This is a good-faith review of what is publicly visible. It is not a security audit, and it is not a promise that a mod is safe, lawful or working.

3.2 Changes and removal. Summer may change or remove any listing at any time. A creator can ask us to remove their mod or change how it is described, and we will.

4. Reports and rights holders

4.1 Reporting a mod. To report a problem with a listed mod, write to founders@summerengine.com with the mod's name and what happened.

4.2 Copyright and trademark notices. Rights holders can send notices to the Copyright Agent named in Section 2 of the DMCA and Intellectual Property Policy. Because Summer Games hosts no mod files, we act by removing the listing and its link; the files themselves stay with the site that hosts them.

5. Disclaimers

5.1 Terms disclaimers apply. Sections 20 and 21 of the Terms (Disclaimers and Limitation of liability) apply to the Mods page, its listings and its prompts.
