DorkNet/DISCLAIMER.md

# Disclaimer

DorkNet is an independent, fan-made, clean-room reimplementation of
backend protocols used by old **2020 Rec Room** builds. The supported
client builds live on separate branches, currently March 2020 and
December 2020.

It is **not** affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by:

- Rec Room Inc.
- Against Gravity (the original developer)
- Photon (Exit Games GmbH)
- Steam / Valve Corporation
- Meta / Oculus

**Rec Room™**, the Rec Room logo, and all in-game art, audio, models,
locations, characters, and brand assets are the intellectual property of
Rec Room Inc. and are used here only for descriptive interoperability.

## What DorkNet does and doesn't ship

DorkNet's repository contains:
- Original server code (ASP.NET Core)
- Original admin tooling (React)
- Original MelonLoader mod (C#)
- Patcher scripts that operate on the user's own local Rec Room install

DorkNet's repository **does not** contain:
- The Rec Room game executable, assets, or any redistributable Rec Room IP
- Decompiled Rec Room source or IL2CPP dumps
- Patched copies of `Recroom_Release.exe`, `global-metadata.dat`, or any
  Rec Room game file

You must acquire the matching 2020 Rec Room client yourself through
whatever means are legal in your jurisdiction, for example SteamDB depot
tools against an account that owns Rec Room. The patcher runs on your
machine, modifies files locally, and never uploads the game anywhere.

## Use at your own risk

This is hobby software. There are no warranties of any kind. If running
DorkNet violates a license you agreed to (e.g. Steam Subscriber Agreement,
Rec Room Terms of Service), that's between you and the rights holder.
DorkNet's authors take no responsibility for consequences arising from
your use of the software.

## Takedown requests
