Legal Stuff, Terms of use & Privacy Policy

0. About the terms

1. You are not eligible to agree to these terms (and thus not eligible to download, purchase or use any of our property) if you are a member of the following groups / organisations / people: Terrorist groups. These groups may be added to or changed.
   
   
2. Wormintheworks is not a registered company, rather a team of individual workers and thus 'Wormintheworks' is not a legal entity. Wherever 'Wormintheworks' is used as a name in the agreement that follows, it is referring to the team member who would be involved in any hypothetical situation created by that part of the terms. For example, intellectual property is not owned by the whole Wormintheworks team, rather by the team member who created the product or piece of the product.
