GRIT Content Creator Policy

Capitalized terms used in this document and not defined here have the meanings given to them in the GRIT End User License Agreement (the “EULA”), Section 18 (Definitions).

1. The Permission

1.1 You may share GRIT®. TEAM GRIT® grants you a non-exclusive, revocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to capture, record, stream, broadcast, and publish gameplay footage, screenshots, and audio from GRIT®, and to create guides, reviews, criticism, commentary, artwork, fan fiction, podcasts, and other community content about GRIT® (together, “Creator Content”).

1.2 You may monetize it. This permission expressly includes monetized channels and videos, platform partner and revenue-sharing programs (for example YouTube Partner Program, Twitch Affiliate and Partner, TikTok, Kick), subscriptions, memberships, tips, donations, crowdfunding for your channel, and advertising revenue. We do not take a share of your revenue and we do not require you to join a program, apply for approval, or sign anything.

1.3 Who it applies to. Everyone — individual creators, press, reviewers, esports organizations, and media companies. You do not need to be a partner or an affiliate of ours.

1.4 Sponsorship. You may accept sponsorship for content that includes GRIT®, provided the sponsorship is disclosed as required by applicable advertising law (including the U.S. FTC Endorsement Guides, the UK CAP Code, and equivalent local rules) and the sponsor is not a cheat vendor, an account seller, a skin-gambling or wagering operator, or a direct competitor using your content to disparage GRIT®.

1.5 Languages and platforms. In any language, on any platform, for any audience consistent with the Game's age rating.

2. What We Ask

Your Creator Content must not:

(a) imply that it is produced, sponsored, or endorsed by Team Grit, or that you speak for us;

(b) use Team Grit or GRIT® logos as the primary branding of a channel, product, or event in a way that suggests official status;

(c) contain cheats, exploits, or instructions for obtaining or using them, or promote Unauthorized Programs or Devices;

(d) include material that violates the GRIT Code of Conduct — including slurs, harassment, doxxing, threats, or sexual content involving minors — or that is unlawful;

(e) be sold as a standalone product consisting primarily of unmodified GRIT® assets (for example, selling a pack of ripped GRIT® models, textures, or audio);

(f) be used in connection with gambling, real-money wagering, skin betting, or the sale of accounts or Virtual Items;

(g) misrepresent the Game — for example presenting modified or staged footage as genuine gameplay without saying so; or

(h) be used to train a generative machine learning model on GRIT® assets, or to generate and distribute synthetic GRIT® assets presented as official.

2.1 Spoilers and embargoes. If we give you access to a build, a season, or an announcement before it is public, we may ask you to hold it until a stated time. Those requests are made individually and in writing, and they do not restrict content you produce from a public build.

2.2 Age rating. Please respect the Game's age rating in how you label and distribute your content on platforms that support content labeling.

3. What Stays Ours

3.1 Ownership. Team Grit and its licensors own the Game, the Services, and all GRIT® assets. This policy is a permission to use them in Creator Content; it does not transfer ownership, and it does not grant you rights in anything beyond what Section 1 describes.

3.2 Your own work. You own the original elements you contribute — your commentary, your editing, your writing, your artwork. GRIT® footage embedded in it remains ours.

3.3 Our use of your content. If you make Creator Content publicly available, we may share, repost, and feature it on our own channels with attribution, under the Player Content license in EULA Section 5.3.

3.4 Trademarks. You may use the GRIT® name and logo to identify your content as being about GRIT®. You may not register them, incorporate them into your own trademark, domain, company, or product name, or use them in a way that suggests official status.

4. GRIT Ledger Data and Community Tools

4.1 Using published statistics. Match statistics published on GRIT Ledger (ledger.grit.gg) may be referenced, quoted, screenshotted, and discussed in Creator Content on the same terms as the rest of this policy.

4.2 No copying, scraping, or republishing. The permission in this policy lets you reference and discuss GRIT Ledger data in your content. It does not let you take the data itself. You may not scrape, crawl, harvest, mirror, or systematically extract data from GRIT Ledger or from any API or feed we operate, and you may not republish, redistribute, or make that data available through any site, tool, overlay, tracker, bot, dataset, or service — whether or not you charge for it. This applies however you obtained the data, including from a page that was publicly accessible at the time.

Want to build something with it? Ask us. If you have a tool, site, or service in mind that needs GRIT Ledger data, write to support@grit.gg and tell us what you want to build and how you would handle player data. We would rather talk than say no — a permission we have given in writing is better for both of us than a takedown later. Until we agree something in writing, Section 4.2 applies.

4.3 Player privacy. GRIT Ledger data is personal information about identifiable players. Republishing it would make you a data controller in your own right, with your own obligations under privacy law — and it would break the promises we make to players in the GRIT Ledger Privacy Notice, including their right to have their data hidden or removed. That is a substantial part of why Section 4.2 says what it does.

4.4 What we ask you not to do. Do not use GRIT Ledger data to harass, target, dox, or track individual players; to power gambling or wagering on match outcomes; or to build a service that sells access to another player's match history.

5. Assets and Press Materials

Approved logos, key art, screenshots, trailers, and fact sheets for community and press use are available in our press materials folder, linked from grit.gg and available on request from support@grit.gg. Use them as provided; please do not stretch, recolor, or reconstruct them.

6. Music and Audio

Audio in GRIT® may include music licensed from third parties. Some of those licenses do not extend to broadcast or monetized video, which means using that audio in your content could trigger a copyright claim on your channel that we cannot lift.

Where that is the case we will identify the affected tracks at grit.gg/press and, where we can, provide a streamer-safe audio option in the Game's settings that mutes or substitutes them.

7. Tournaments and Events

7.1 You may run events. The permission in Section 1 covers tournaments, leagues, showmatches and community events, including ones you charge entry for or find sponsors for. You do not need our approval and you do not need to tell us.

7.2 Two things we do ask. Do not present your event as official, endorsed by, or run in partnership with Team Grit, and do not use our logos or branding in your event's own name, marketing, or merchandise without written permission. Describing your event as a GRIT® tournament is fine. Calling it the Official GRIT® Championship is not. If you want to use our branding, write to support@grit.gg.

7.3 Your event is yours. We are not a party to it, we do not review it, and we do not underwrite prizes. You are responsible for running it lawfully — including prize promotion, sweepstakes and lottery rules, entry fees, tax, age restrictions, and data protection for your entrants.

9. Revocation, Changes, and Limits

9.1 Revocation. We may revoke this permission as to a specific person or specific content if it breaches this policy or the other Player Agreements. We will normally contact you first and give you an opportunity to fix the problem. Revocation as to one person does not affect anyone else.

9.2 Takedowns. We would much rather talk to you than file a takedown. Where we do act against Creator Content on copyright grounds, your counter-notice rights and our designated copyright agent are set out in Section 8 of the EULA.

9.3 Changes. We may update this policy in accordance with Section 16 of the EULA. Content you published in good faith under a previous version, and which complied with it, will not be treated as a breach of a later version.

9.4 No warranty; no partnership. This permission is granted as-is. It does not create a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship, and it does not entitle you to support, access, keys, or promotion. Sections 10 to 12 of the EULA (Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnity) apply to it.

9.5 Priority. Where this policy grants you more than Section 7 of the GRIT Code of Conduct does, this policy applies. Where it conflicts with the EULA on any other matter, the EULA controls (EULA Section 17.1).
