BlockCoasters: Legal Information
Throughout Sections A, B, C, D, E, F, and G "BlockCoasters", "We", and "Us" (unless otherwise stated) refers directly to partners of BlockCoasters Entertainments, and not to the wider BlockCoasters Group (the wider group includes, but is not limited to, Server Moderators, Map Testers, and partners through BlockCoasters Community Creations). Any instances mentioning the "Wider BlockCoasters Group" includes, but is not limited to and may not full contain, Server Moderators, Map Testers, and partners through BlockCoasters Community Creations
Throughout Sections A, B, C, D, E, F, and G references to "All Maps" includes those that have been discontinued. The same rules regarding copying and redistribution under Section A apply to current, past and future maps.
A) Maps:
All maps published by BlockCoasters are owned explicitly by BlockCoasters unless otherwise stated.
The redistribution, publishing, or copying of our maps is strictly prohibited, unless with prior permission directly from BlockCoasters.
All resource and behaviour packs used within BlockCoasters Maps (including those on the servers) are developed solely by BlockCoasters, and are owned in no part by other parties. They may not be used by any other parties in any way.
B) BlockCoasters Servers:
Whilst on BlockCoasters' Servers, all items, purchasables and in-game money is removable by the wider BlockCoasters Group without consent from the player.
We (the wider BlockCoasters Group) reserve the right to ban, clear the inventory of or temporarily suspend the rights of any player whist on the server without permission from the player.
All punishments for rule-breaking on the server will be decided by a member of the wider BlockCoasters Group - these are non-refutable.
All servers opened under BlockCoasters Community Creations must abide by the rules of BlockCoasters Servers, although BlockCoasters Moderators do not have any obligation to uphold the rules on these servers. The owner of the server may hire their own Moderators to act on these servers (Section F1 does not apply to servers run under BlockCoasters' Community Creations)
Creating public servers of BlockCoasters maps (including discontinued maps) without prior consent directly from BlockCoasters is strictly prohibited, and will result in action to take them down.
We reserve the right to record and keep the Public IP of anyone who joins to our servers for up to a week, and the right to record and keep the Xbox Live Username & XUID of any player who joins to our servers for up to a year.
C) Music:
We reserve the rights to all of our music, no matter whether it is publicly published or not.
The purchase of any CD from BlockCoasters does not come with the right to copy, distribute or re-upload the music on that CD.
We do not consent for the re-uploading, copying, distribution or other profiting off of our music without specific consent directly from BlockCoasters
We refuse to refund any CDs with the seal on the case broken, unless the CD itself is damaged, and so unreadable.
If a CD must be refunded, it can be sent to the following PO Box: Block Coasters, Unit F, Winston Business Park, Churchill Way #21180, Sheffield
D) Affiliations with Other Companies
BlockCoasters is not affiliated with Merlin Entertainments, Thorpe Park Resort, Alton Towers Resort, The Dungeons, Sea Life, LastMinute, or DreamWorks Entertainments in any way.
Any users whose maps are published under BlockCoasters Community Creations are not a part of the BlockCoasters team, and so their opinions do not reflect those of BlockCoasters.
We reserve the right to end all relations with the creators of any maps published under BlockCoasters Community Creations with immediate effect. This will involve the removal of that user's maps from all platforms affiliated with BlockCoasters.
E) Fair-Use Policies:
Music from directly within the maps may be used, so long as it is clearly part of the footage - the use of any audio files from within our maps is prohibited - and credit is clearly given for the map or music as applicable.
The use of specially edited or extended formats of music from within our maps is strictly prohibited.
The use of custom-made logos and slogans (if the logo or slogan is an older logo or slogan, it must be clearly labelled as such) for any of our parks is strictly prohibited - only the most up-to-date and official logos or slogans may be used. This includes recolouring, distorting or otherwise editing any official logos.
All Ride Mechanisms (Any system for a ride) developed explicitly by BlockCoasters can only be used (including but not limited to copying, adapting or claiming) with consent directly from us. If you are unsure as to the source of a ride mechanism, contact is advised before the mechanism is used.
F) Staff Positions
No BlockCoasters staff member may work at any other Minecraft (all versions) server (Ruling active as of November 1st 2020)
BlockCoasters staff members have the full right to distribute punishments on BlockCoasters Servers (See Sections B1, B2, and B3)
BlockCoasters staff members must be assumed to not have early knowledge of unannounced projects, and as such their views and statements on the matter must not be taken as fact or confirmation.
The views held by BlockCoasters staff members do not reflect those of BlockCoasters Entertainments.
G) Official BlockCoasters Products
Merchandise provided by BlockCoasters will only ever be supplied through shop.BlockCoasters.com, and as such any other sites claiming to provide official BlockCoasters products should be taken as fraudulent (See Section E for details on Fair-Use Policies for our logos.)
