Terms of Service

Effective date: 2026-05-14

Welcome to uapkg.

uapkg is an independently operated open source package registry and ecosystem for Unreal Engine and related tooling.

By accessing or using the registry, websites, indexes, mirrors, metadata systems, package infrastructure, or related services, you agree to these Terms of Service.

If you do not agree to these terms, you should not use the registry or related services.

Related Policies

These Terms of Service incorporate and work together with related registry policies and agreements, including:

• Acceptable Use Policy
• Publisher Agreement
• Registry Governance
• DMCA Policy
• Any additional policies, guidelines, or operational rules published by the registry

If there is a conflict between policies, the registry maintainer/operator may interpret and apply them at their discretion.

Eligibility and Authority

By using the registry or publishing packages, you represent that:

• You are legally permitted to use the services
• You will comply with applicable laws and regulations
• You have authority to act on behalf of any organization, team, or entity you represent
• You have the rights and permissions necessary to publish or distribute submitted content

Open Source and Experimental Nature of the Service

uapkg is an independently operated open source project and not a commercial hosting provider, software escrow service, or guaranteed archival platform.

The registry ecosystem may evolve rapidly and may include experimental, community-operated, or best-effort infrastructure.

Features, APIs, metadata systems, mirrors, indexes, package availability, or related services may change at any time without notice.

Service Availability

The registry and related services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

uapkg maintainers/operators do not guarantee:

• Continuous uptime or availability
• Long-term storage or archival
• Package permanence
• Compatibility or reproducibility
• Security or vulnerability-free operation
• Integrity or accuracy of third-party content
• Availability of mirrors, indexes, metadata, or generated artifacts

The registry may experience downtime, data loss, package removals, corrupted metadata, infrastructure failures, or operational interruptions.

Third-Party Services and Infrastructure

uapkg may depend on or integrate with third-party services and infrastructure providers, including hosting providers, source control platforms, CDN providers, storage providers, package mirrors, analytics systems, or automation services.

Third-party services may have their own terms, policies, restrictions, or operational decisions that affect registry functionality or content availability.

For example, portions of the registry infrastructure and canonical registry indexes may be hosted on GitHub, and GitHub policies may apply to related content and activity.

uapkg maintainers/operators are not responsible for failures, restrictions, removals, outages, or actions performed by third-party providers.

Unreal Engine and Epic Games Disclaimer

uapkg is an independent community-operated project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially associated with Epic Games, Inc. or Unreal Engine.

“Epic Games” and “Unreal Engine” are trademarks or registered trademarks of Epic Games, Inc. All related trademarks, logos, and brand names remain the property of their respective owners.

References to Unreal Engine are used solely for compatibility, interoperability, and descriptive purposes.

User Content and Packages

Publishers retain ownership of their packages and submitted content, subject to applicable licenses and third-party rights.

By publishing packages or submitting content to the registry, you grant the permissions described in the Publisher Agreement, including permissions related to indexing, caching, mirroring, archival, sanitization, rendering, and derived artifact generation.

Users are solely responsible for evaluating package safety, legality, compatibility, and suitability before use.

The registry does not certify, endorse, audit, or guarantee third-party packages.

Acceptable Use

You agree to comply with the Acceptable Use Policy and not misuse the registry, infrastructure, automation systems, or related services.

Violations may result in moderation, restrictions, package removal, or loss of access.

Moderation and Enforcement

uapkg maintainers/operators may remove, restrict, archive, freeze, unlist, disable, or limit access to packages, metadata, publisher accounts, mirrors, or related services at any time.

Moderation and enforcement actions may occur with or without prior notice where reasonably necessary to protect:

• Users
• Infrastructure
• Ecosystem integrity
• Security and operational stability
• Legal compliance

The registry maintainer/operator retains final discretion regarding moderation and operational decisions.

Security and Incident Response

The registry may take emergency actions in response to suspected malware, compromised accounts, malicious packages, infrastructure abuse, legal risk, or ecosystem-wide threats.

This may include preserving historical records, metadata, logs, forensic artifacts, dependency references, or cached content for investigation or operational continuity purposes.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the registry and related services are provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

uapkg maintainers/operators disclaim all warranties, including warranties of:

• Merchantability
• Fitness for a particular purpose
• Non-infringement
• Availability
• Security
• Reliability
• Accuracy
• Operational continuity

Use of the registry and published packages is at your own risk.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, uapkg maintainers/operators, contributors, infrastructure providers, and associated volunteers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to:

• Use of the registry
• Published packages or dependencies
• Security vulnerabilities or malware
• Data loss
• Infrastructure downtime
• Package removal or unavailability
• Metadata inaccuracies
• Third-party actions
• Service interruptions
• Ecosystem failures

This limitation applies even if maintainers/operators were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Termination and Restrictions

uapkg maintainers/operators may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the registry or related services at any time, with or without notice.

Users may stop using the registry at any time.

Termination or discontinuation does not guarantee removal of historical metadata, cached records, archival references, mirrors, integrity manifests, or generated artifacts.

Governing Law

These terms shall generally be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Washington, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Nothing in these terms limits the ability of the registry maintainer/operator to comply with applicable laws, legal requests, or regulatory obligations in other jurisdictions where required.

Changes to These Terms

These Terms of Service may be updated, modified, or replaced over time.

Updated versions become effective when published unless otherwise stated.

Continued use of the registry after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
